My wife and I can not say enough wonderful things about Stephanie! We just reviewed our wedding photos and are BEYOND ecstatic about how they turned out! Stephanie is professional, timely, organized, creative, inclusive (she is an ally of the LGBTQ+ community) and supportive (she went above and beyond to keep me calm the day of, and even helped bustle my dress!!) We highly recommend Stephanie and her team!
Stephanie West is such a gem! My wife and I found her on social media after our venue tagged her in a post. Can I just say, it was love at first site! Her pictures were stunning, we absolutely fell in love with one specific pose and we were instantly hooked. Upon meeting Stephanie we knew we had made the right decision, prompt professional and phenomenal sense of humor. We not only booked her for our wedding but also our daughters senior pictures. She made our super shy girl become a natural in front of her camera. Turn around time was something I was expecting to take a while but both projects were done in a reasonable timeframe. I would hands down recommend Stephanie West for your future projects. ♥️
I can not put into words how pleased we are with our photos from Stephanie West. From start to finish, she was attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and professional, and truly seemed excited about shooting our wedding. We couldn't be happier with our choice and I'm OBSESSED with our final photos! I highly recommend Stephanie West!
I reached out to Stephanie after a friend shared her GORGEOUS wedding pictures. She responded so quickly to set something up and within minutes of chatting with her, I knew I wanted to work with her! Not only is her work incredible, but she is so fun to work with. We initially were planning to get married at the courthouse and changed the plan to a family-only ceremony in our backyard. Throughout the planning process, it was clear that Stephanie would have brought the same professionalism, thoughtfulness, and fun regardless of whether we were getting married alone at the courthouse or in a huge ceremony at a lavish venue. Working with Stephanie was easy as pie - she is incredibly responsive, and communicates quickly either through Honeybook or via text.
We got married in our backyard in a small, family-only ceremony, and Stephanie breathed so much life into documenting the day. I had a bit of anxiety that our wedding wasn't enough to come through beautifully in pictures (think every bride can relate to the "not enough" feeling…). The casual, intimate feel of our day came through vibrantly in our pictures - Stephanie kept everything light and airy and the pictures truly look/feel like timeless snapshots of the day rather than planned photos. My husband and I wouldn't call ourselves photogenic people and cringe when it comes to PDA. The pictures Stephanie got of us during the ceremony, the candids throughout the day, and the portrait/posed pictures of us were so "us" - she caught us at our best and really brought to life how much we love each other without making us feel like we were performing. Even the posed portraits captured our family's fun personalities and sweet moments between all of us.
After the wedding, her turnaround was incredible - we booked her for 3 hours, and she sent us our edited gallery of over 300 pictures within weeks of our wedding during peak wedding season. She even sent us some sneak peeks to tide us over while we were waiting. Once we received the gallery, it was so hard picking our favorites, and I change my mind each time I go through them. One of my favorites is actually a picture of our cat - she suggested we grab her and Josie was 100% not into it, making for a delightfully chaotic moment. Stephanie got an incredible picture of her amidst the chaos and it's such a silly illustration of how incredibly talented she is! So far, we've had them all printed as 4x6, a few as 8x10s to give out, and our favorite on a canvas to hang - they've looked incredible no matter the size or print material.
All in all, Stephanie was so incredible and I am obsessed with our wedding photos. I highly recommend booking Stephanie, and I look forward to roping her into doing future family pictures for us!
I don’t even know where to start with how absolutely wonderful Stephanie is! From the very start of booking she is so attentive and creative with what you want. She adds so many amazing ideas and creativity to what you want. Stephanie makes sure you get what you want and then some so you don’t even have to think about it on your big day. Every photograph she sends back is FANTASTIC, and she makes the session so comfortable. Stephanie had gained a life long customer and friend out of my husband and I. Definitely worth the money!
We were so fortunate to find Stephanie for our engagement and wedding photos! She is professional, fun, and so talented. I cannot speak more highly of her--every session we do with Stephanie is efficient, comfortable, and we ALWAYS end up with beautiful photos. Our entire wedding party is ready to hire her for their own family and event photos, as is our family. She somehow makes the (usually tedious, awkward) posed family and friend photos go quickly, and everyone had genuine smiles on their faces because of her upbeat and funny personality. We used an UNEDITED photo for our thank you cards after our wedding, as well as an edited wedding photo for Christmas cards, and people can't stop gushing about both, months later. I just cannot recommend her enough! Book her now--she is a busy lady, and there's no way that's going to slow down given her work and talent!
Stephanie is hands down the best investment we made when planning our wedding. She was only a message away whenever we had any questions and made the whole process easy, including when we had to postpone a year due to COVID. She is so enjoyable to be around and so good at what she does. We got our pictures back and the one thing our guests consistently said when we posted them was how amazing and talented our photographer was. Don’t wait! Book her!
Stephanie is this upbeat, real, professional that just makes you feel like you are in good hands- BECAUSE YOU ARE . From start to finish, she ensured everything went smoothly. From helping me bustle my dress, getting me food and drinks, to listening to me rant about personal issues . She took care of me and my wedding party. She also is such an amazing photographer! Our photos turned out beautifully, captured with so much love. She is so in tune with what you're comfortable with, how to photograph you to capture your best features, lighting, etc. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her and her talent!
Stephanie is more than just a wedding photographer! She went above and beyond for our wedding photos. She helped me with some of the planning and wedding stress, she helped so much to make our day run smoothly and the photos perfectly captured our special day! 5 stars aren't enough!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Stephanie exceeded our expectations by far. From the very first meeting, it felt like we became instant friends. That was very important for me. I hate getting my picture taken and Stephanie made it so easy and fun. We did our engagement pictures with her also. The pictures were gorgeous. All the pictures (engagement, wedding, and boudoir) look so natural. She really goes above and beyond. I also did some boudoir photos with her, as my wedding gift. She made me feel incredibly comfortable and was able to make me come out of my shell. It was a great experience and the gift was a hit with my husband. I can't say enough good things about Stephanie. I would recommend her to anyone!
Stephanie does an amazing job! her pictures capture the emotions and moods behind the photos...she's an awesome person and such a fantastic photographer! you won't go wrong having your pictures done through her!!!
Exceeded expectations before, during, and after our wedding. Very prompt turn around time for getting our finished pics back.
Highly recommended.
Stephanie and her assistant Amy were WONDERFUL in so many ways. They got all of the photos we asked for and so many more. It was really great to see their different photography styles and different perspectives on our day. They made our bridal party, family and friends feel comfortable and did everything right before, during and after our wedding. We received our photos within 5 weeks of our wedding date which is unheard of! I would recommend this duo to anyone and everyone.
Our special day, was chaos like any one would expect. The best part, was having Stephanie as our photographer. She has done our family portraits before, and were amazing! So we wouldn't even think of using anyone else for our wedding! She came as not only a friend, but a family member. She has always been very personable. Listening to our every wish, to making suggestions!
We couldn't wait to see the results!
She even hand delivered our shots, made a decorative box to put them in, and even came with popcorn to view our 387 photo's. By far the best!
Stephanie did an AMAZING job at my sisters wedding! Super fun and easy going.
Stephanie and Amy did my daughters wedding several weeks ago. They were both professional and personable at the same time. Stephanie made my daughter and her new husband feel as special as they truly are. She captured their magic in every picture! Thank you Stephanie and Amy for who you are and what you do!!!!
To say Stephanie and Amy are AMAZING is an understatement! They are so fun and outgoing and easy to work with which I think is a huge part in picking your wedding photographer... you have to spend ALL DAY with these people so why not make sure they are people you want to be around?! Stephanie and Amy are always thinking of the next move and you can tell when their heads are spinning with new ideas for an amazing picture. They work so hard to get in as many pictures as possible and are sure to make sure you got every picture you wanted, regardless of the agenda! During my reception I realized I didn't get any pictures of just me and my husband and our two kids, but Stephanie and Amy were ready and determined to get those pictures even in all of the craziness of the reception! I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us on our special day.
Stephanie and her second photographer Amy were such a joy to have on our wedding day. Stephanie was easy to contact, responded very quickly to questions and always made me feel at ease! During our wedding day they were super fun-loving, passionate about what they do and always had smiles on their faces. Our guests also commented on how wonderful they were at capturing the moments. We were so pleased with Stephanie West Photographer and wish we could relive that day over and over!!
Stephanie and assistant Amy shout our September wedding at Clintonville Woman's Club. She is fantastic! Creative imagination, affordable, truly works FOR and WITH you! The weather did not cooperate, but no worries, they were on it! The outdoor rain shots were as remarkable as the indoor shots. I highly recommend! A+++++++++
