About

I’m a romantic at heart and a photographic storyteller to the core. I believe in marriage and the whirlwind of beautiful overwhelming love.

I grew up in Lewiston, Maine and moved to Jacksonville to attend UNF. There I met Scott, the most loving and caring man in the world (so I might be a little biased). We got married in 2010 in Key West and the images from our wedding day are the single most important thing I have from the day (besides my hubster of course). Being able to create such valuable and cherished photographs for each of my couple’s love stories is the best job in the world. Now, I live my days by hugs and laughter and love to work with couples that are joyful with an adventurous spirit.

Simply the BEST photographer

We used Stephanie for both our engagement session and our wedding photos, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From our very first shoot, it was clear she knows exactly what she’s doing behind the camera. After our engagement session, I knew I could trust her to capture the most beautiful photos and all of the perfect moments on our wedding day — and she absolutely delivered!

Stephanie is so easy to work with. As someone who had never taken professional photos before, I really appreciated how comfortable she made us feel. Her guidance, direction, and thoughtful advice helped us feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera — which truly shows in every photo.

The moments she captured are timeless, natural, and just us. We are so grateful for her talent, her kindness, and her ability to perfectly freeze the moments we’ll cherish forever.

We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a photographer who is professional, personable, and incredibly gifted at what she does!

Best photographer we could have asked for

There are not words to describe how grateful we are for Stephanie and how wonderful a job she did at capturing our Special day! She caught every detail that I didn't know we needed. She was so organized and was very helpful with wrangling everybody when needed and helped calm me when there was a lot of craziness throughout the day! Our pictures are beyond anything I could have asked for, I highly recommend her for capturing anything!! She also did our engagement shoot last year, and again cannot rave enough about her and her style! We will cherish these memories forever!!!

Cannot recommend Stephanie enough

From the second I found Stephanie’s website, I knew I needed her to be our wedding photographer! Her photos speak for themselves. She was so easy to work with and helpful leading up to our wedding. On our wedding day, she was so efficient! Stephanie knows what she is doing, she not only kept us on time, but even ahead of schedule the entire day! We got our wedding gallery back in record timing and I cannot get over how perfect the photos are. Michael and I cannot recommend Stephanie enough! Thank you for capturing our wedding so beautifully!

So grateful for Stephanie!!!

There are not words to explain how grateful I am that Stephanie was our photographer for our wedding. If you're anything like me, choosing wedding photography was extremely overwhelming.. there are so many to choose from! I came across Stephanie on google and from the first phone call, she was so friendly and kind- making the wedding planning process so much easier and less overwhelming. She responds via email in such a timely manner and answered all my questions. Stephanie's demeanor is so calm, positive, cheery and go with the flow. That alone is so appreciated amidst the wedding day chaos. She is especially helpful with posing and lighting and fixed my hair countless times throughout the day- THANK YOU! She is also wonderful at maintaining the timeline. We even had time to spare before the ceremony! (I had 11 bridesmaids- this was not an easy task!) Her photography speaks for itself- she takes the most gorgeous photos. I recently got my wedding photos (in SUCH a timely manner) and each and everyone is so special and beautiful. I am having the hardest time picking my favorite. If you are in need of a wedding day photographer, I highly recommend Stephanie. You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Stephanie, we are so in love with our wedding photos

Fun & Professional

It was an absolute pleasure working with Stephanie! She is fun, experienced, and professional. Stephanie was equipped to handle any unforeseen hiccups that emerged while still bringing a joyful, stress-free energy to our wedding day. Her photos are wonderful and we are so grateful to have keepsakes that captivate the sentiment, ambience, and liveliness of our special day. Stephanie’s style is timeless and we can’t wait to look back on her captured moments over the many years to come.

The perfect day with the perfect photographer!

Stephanie was GREAT to work with and the pictures are EVERYTHING I dreamed of! She sends an extensive questionnaire out before the wedding, but even if you forgot stuff on that questionnaire, she works with you to fit in what you might have missed. She was super patient with our wedding party. She also went above and beyond for me as I was a bit stressed/nervous and she could tell that and she politely asked my bridal party to step out of the room so that I could do my pictures by myself without so many eyes staring at me! She was really great and I do recommend her greatly! Her assistant was fantastic as well, very kind and helpful throughout the whole day of picture taking!

Can't recommend enough!

Stephanie was beyond amazing to work with start to finish! She is always quick to respond and put together a perfect timeline that encapsulated everything we wanted. Day of she made us feel so comfortable and beautiful! She knows what she’s doing! Where to go, the best lighting, how to get through tons of photos in the most fun and efficient way, and don’t get us started on the photos… absolutely perfect! She captured every moment of our big day so beautifully! Can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Stephanie!

The BEST wedding photographer

We are in love with our wedding photos from Stephanie!! Stephanie is not only a wonderful photographer but a wonderful person. We had not met her prior to our wedding day but she made my husband and I feel very comfortable and at ease. Additionally, she went above and beyond her photographer duties. For example, she ensured my husband and I received our wedding gifts from each other. We truly had the best day and Stephanie was a huge part of that. We absolutely recommend Stephanie for all of your photography needs!

Stephanie is THE BEST!

When I say we loved working with stephanie, I really mean it! We live on the west coast and were planning our wedding in Florida, so communicating with vendors and trusting them was just a big thing for us. Stephanie was fantastic with communicating with us and she knew the area so she knew where to get the best pictures. Hurricane Nicole tried to spoil our day, but you would never guess by looking at the pictures. Stephanie and her assistant were just incredible the whole day and beyond sweet. It was such a pleasure working with them. The cherry on top? Our pictures are stunning, and we got them back well before the time we were supposed to. We definitely plan on going to Stephanie for any pictures we need in the future. I can’t recommend her enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

When I first met Stephanie of Marie Star Photography, I was instantly blown away by her photography skills. Stephanie has a way of capturing the details of a subject which causes you to see it's beauty from a different perspective. Her style of photography is always clean, fresh and visually stunning. I love her ability to be flexible which makes her a dream to work with. Speaking as a makeup artist, she's our kind of photographer because...well, she gets it! She gets that it takes time to build layers on faces and she willingly interacts with makeup artists to make sure the bride's makeup/features are showcased in the most beautiful manner. Stephanie is definitely one of my most treasured photographers simply because she's awesome at what she does. Her passion for photography is exemplified a thousand times over every time you view her work. Hiring Marie Star Photography as your wedding photographer will prove to be a wonderful asset to your wedding experience. I guarantee, you will NOT be disappointed.
