Off the charts!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our wedding day than Stephanie from 3 Elements Photography. She not only captured our day perfectly but she kept us relaxed, laughing, and never made anything feel awkward or staged. The photos are beyond what we could ever imagine. If you’re looking for a photographer who feels like a friend and is incredible with capturing the moments you’ll cherish forever, 3 Elements is the way to go!

Our wedding at Smithtown Landing

We had Stephanie shoot our engagement photos and before even seeing how they came out we just knew we had to have her for our wedding as well. She was amazing from start to finish and captured our event perfectly, we couldn’t be happier. You can tell she truly loves what she does and is a master at it.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We used 3 elements for both our engagement photos as well as for our wedding day, and everything came out great! Stephanie is so great with walking you through all the steps of the process, and it quickly becomes very clear that she is great at what she does. On the day of the wedding, Stephanie and Carol were so helpful and handled everything with the utmost professionalism and made sure the process was fun for everyone. For anyone that is considering using 3 Elements, don't think twice, you'll be in great hands! Thank you again so much for everything and for making our big day that much more special!

RUN to book 3 Elements!

Stephanie and Rich absolutely made our wedding day. We haven't even gotten our photos back because it has not been even 24 hours since our big day, but I am already blown away by their expertise and commitment. Stephanie quickly and skillfully guided every pose and body movement for our photos. She knew exactly where to position everybody, and helped us move effortlessly through our day. She created a perfect timeline and we achieved every photo we wanted and more. The team's friendly, energetic, and encouraging demeanor helped us bring all of the happiest energy on such a stressful day. We will never forget our experience with 3 Elements Photography, and if you want a five star experience for your special day, book them NOW!

3 Elements Photography: 1000/10 Experience!

We got married 10.26.25 and found 3 Elements/Stephanie on Instagram, and after hearing amazing things about her team from our venue—and finally speaking with her over the phone—we knew right away we had found our photographer! She walked us through every option, helped us understand what would best fit our vision, and even customized a package that worked perfectly within our budget. We booked our engagement shoot with her, and after that experience, we knew her energy and personality would be the perfect match for our wedding day. In the weeks leading up to the big day, Stephanie checked in regularly, reviewed timelines, and was always available—literally at any time (and yes, I definitely tested that!). She also connected us with Rich from 3 Elements Films, who we chose to handle our videography, and we couldn’t have been happier. On the wedding day, Stephanie and Carol were an absolute dream team—keeping everyone smiling, organized, and on schedule. When Rich and Steven arrived to capture video and drone footage, it was clear we were in the best hands. Even with the chilly weather, Stephanie and Rich kept us laughing and comfortable, and their calm, positive energy made the day flow effortlessly. We’re so grateful they captured every special moment so beautifully and helped make our day even more perfect!

More than just Pictures — they told our Story

There will never be enough words to describe how amazing Steph and her team are at 3 Elements Photography. Picking a photographer for our wedding was one of the single most important decisions we were going to make and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Steph and her amazing team!

Steph captured both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, and every moment was perfect. Being an artist myself, Steph has a gift. She creates magic! Her talent and passion for photography is truly inspiring. From the very beginning, Steph made us feel incredibly comfortable, confident and beautiful. She has a way of making everything feel so natural and effortless while still getting those stunning, amazing shots.

Having both her and Carol there from the start, they were professional, friendly, and so talented. They both knew we wanted outdoor shots and they both made sure to get it all in before the storm hit. High gusty winds, no problem, they rolled with it and made magic happen. Both were so thorough about getting every shot on the shot list done which was so incredibly helpful when it’s one less thing you need to worry about on your big day.

Photographs are a gift to the future, the best way to remember one of the most important days in your life. We will forever be looking at our photos and always be in complete awe with them. We’re so grateful for the memories they’ve helped us preserve, and we couldn’t recommend them more!

Review for 3 Elements

Stephanie and Richard are amazing! You can tell they put their hearts into everything they do and truly make you feel so special. Stephanie assists you and guides through every picture and makes you feel comfortable taking pictures. Richard makes you feel so comfortable and makes you laugh the whole time. Their team is equally as kind and helpful. We highly recommend them to capture your wedding or any life event!

100000 times yes!

OMG I literally am speechless on how great my team was during our wedding day. Carol was my lead photographer, along with Kelli, my second photographer. I had Walter as lead video & Stephen as second videographer for my video! From start to finish they were amazing. They were attentive, patient, and the energy they brought added to my day! They checked on me and made sure that I was happy with everything throughout the day. I worked with Stephanie for the booking, timelines, and everything in between. She was absolutely amazing, one of the most genuine people I have met! I would recommend them a thousand times over!!!!

It was so hard to choose 20 pictures to include because there are so many pictures I just adore.
