The absolute best photo & video team!

We truly could not have asked for a better photographer!! Stephanie was absolutely incredible from our engagement shoot all the way through our wedding day. She completely understood my vision and somehow brought it to life even better than I imagined. She truly went above and beyond every expectation we had.

On our wedding day, Stephanie made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and made the entire experience feel fun and effortless. She made sure we got every photo that was important to us, including making sure our dog was part of it all, which meant so much to us. Rich was our videographer and was also amazing! His sense of humor kept things light and fun, and you could genuinely tell how passionate he was about getting the perfect shot.

Beyond being incredibly talented, Stephanie, Rich, and the rest of their team are such wonderful people to have by your side on your wedding day. We absolutely loved working with them, and so did our family and bridal party. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and I would recommend them a million times over!!

Couldn't Be Happier

I cannot express how happy we were with Stephanie and her partner. They were such an amazing team. Stephanie is truly an artist. She creates a calm environment and directed us in ways that created and captured such amazing photos that we will cherish forever. Stephanie was will willing to jump in to capture photos we didn't even think to ask. She is detail oriented, super professional and such a kind soul. We are so fortunate that we were able to have such a talented person capture our wedding.

A truly wonderful experience from the first phone call to seeing our pictures for the first time!!!

An absolutely wonderful experience from the first phone call to the end!!
Stephanie was so easy to talk to and made us feel like we were in good hands from the very first phone call. She wasn’t going to personally be at our wedding but made us feel extremely confident that her partner Carole had the event covered and we would be just as pleased with her work and from the minute we met Carole we were overwhelmed with how comfortable we felt with her and her crew and we could not be and more thrilled with how our pictures came out and the professionalism of Stephanie and all of her staff. I felt like we were friends from the very beginning and Stephanie checked in with us several times from Sicily while on vacation to see if we needed anything or if we had any concerns.
We would highly recommend 3 Elements Photography for your wedding needs if you want the best of the best to photograph your wedding and to feel comfortable and at ease from the beginning to the end. I can wholeheartedly give them a 20 out of and 10 on a a scale of 1-10 and would happily give them more if it were possible.
Thank you Stephanie and Carole for making our day so memorable with all the beautiful memories we have to look at for the rest of our life together.

From Engagement to Wedding to Maternity - Stephanie Captures All of Life's Important Moments

Stephanie of 3 Elements Photography is an exceptional photographer. Her attention to detail and creativity truly set her apart from others in her field. She has a passion for what she does which is evident in each photo shoot. Stephanie is patient and is always looking for ways to get the perfect shot, whether that requires standing on a ladder or countertop or even jumping into bushes. She makes her clients feel comfortable and welcome from the moment she meets them. She is very professional, but also likes to have fun with each and every photo shoot. We have had the privilege of Stephanie being our photographer for our engagement, wedding, and now maternity photo shoot. We look forward to having her capture all of our family's life moments in the years to come.

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!
