Planning a wedding comes with a thousand decisions, but choosing Stacie to photograph our day was one of the easiest ones! If you want genuine and beautiful photos without feeling like your wedding becomes a photoshoot, she is the perfect fit.

Stacie was somehow everywhere at once: on the dance floor, flying a drone, capturing bridal party portraits, photographing the school bus arrival, the little décor details, the bar, and so much more. We still don’t know how she did it! She was able to document the full story of the day—without ever pulling us away for long. We never felt like we were sacrificing time with loved ones, yet we ended up with a beautiful gallery that feels like us.

Also, the dance-floor photos alone are iconic will be hanging on our walls forever. :)

Beyond being incredibly talented, Stacie was a joy to work with from start to finish. She was easygoing, responsive, and professional. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

Stacie joined us for our elopement and captured beautiful photos that we absolutely adore. Our favorite photos were captured on the side of the highway in Bend, OR, in a field that she just saw from the road and had us stop to take photos. She has an amazing eye for finding the perfect spot for a great shot. She also gives great pointers on how to get the best angles and poses. She is great with scheduling and is an awesome and quick communicator. I have recommended Stacie to many friends and family members for their photography needs, and Absolutely Recommend Awake Photography for your big day!!

Stacie went ABOVE AND BEYOND for our surprise proposal photos and engagement shoot. She went to the resort early to arrange with the staff, book us the best site for photos, sneak around the property, all without my partner having any idea. Then delivered absolutely perfect photos of that once-in-a-lifetime moment in record time because she knew I wouldn’t be able to wait. When we did our engagement photos the following day, to say she had a *vision* would be an understatement. Every one of our sneak preview photos is “the shot,” I don’t know how she does it. Oh and on top of all of that she’s an absolute delight to spend the day with. On my life I will never hire a different photographer, thank you for everything Stacie!!

Stacie at Awake Photo Co is an amazing, professional, well rounded, sweet, and talented photographer. Anyone can snap a photo but not everyone has the eye to capture a moment in time the way she does. She truly is a master of her craft and knows how to capture the essence and feeling while keeping it natural and not overly posed. I’ve hired her for my wedding photos as well as product photos for my company and she’s provided beautiful high quality images to me for multiple uses in a timely matter every time! They’re all eye catching and living room wall worthy. She edits in a vibrant and elegant style that I love! 10/10 recommend! You won’t be disappointed.

Stacie did an awesome job shooting our wedding. She was very organized throughout the planning process and made everything easy for us. Her work is unmatched. Have received so many compliments already. The photos are vibrant and all our different skin tones really show up beautifully. I am so happy with the decision to book her and am grateful she was willing to fly to Texas for this job.

One of the biggest challenges we faced with finding a photographer was finding someone who was able to communicate with us vision, understand who we were as a couple and be patient with use because we were very uncomfortable in front of the camera. Stacie came recommended to us from a friend who was obsessed with her work! As soon as I had messaged her it just felt like she was a friend. Stacie worked on our engagement photos and with us on the day of our wedding. I had spent weeks going back and forth with Stacie on outfits and colors and options for locations. She has this amazing handbook on how to set up the shoot for success and i have not seen any photographer do as comprehensive of a job as she did! Stacie is thorough! She is the perfect balance of friend and professional. We were both gushing over the venue choice and shared the same excitement over the day. She feels genuine joy for you ! She is a gem and truly one of a kind. We spent the most time with her and her team on the day of the wedding to capture as much of the day as possible and I attribute a significant portion of the day going as well as it did because of her! She listened to my concerns especially with sensitive family dynamics. Everyone at the wedding LOVED her! And the images she delivered! I was in TEARS! not only are the absolutely beautiful but they captured the essence and the spirit of the day!
If you want an incredible talented, charismatic, brilliant creative mind AND friend, do yourself a favor and book Stacie ASAP!

My fiance and I got our engagement photos taken by Stacie at sunset on Mt. Rainier a couple summers ago and it was one of the most fun days I've ever had. I feel terrible for not writing this review sooner, because honestly she is completely amazing, and exceeded every expectation I had.

Stacie actually went up the mountain a day BEFORE our shoot to scout out good locations (and a private place for us to change outfits), and she was so creative in choosing our poses and incorporating the beautiful scenery. She made it really fun and easy for us, as we'd never done a photoshoot. She also braided my hair at one point!

The photos completely blew me away. The pictures were not at all cheesy, boring, nor overly artistic. They were dynamic, colorful, and unique. And in every pic, we look like the two most beautiful and happy people on earth.

She also had a friend along who was doing some paintings, and later mailed us one of the little paintings her friend made. Needless to say this is now one of my favorite possessions.

I can hardly emphasize enough how above & beyond she went for us, and how comfortable she made us feel in the process. Stacie, you're amazing!!

Working with Stacie has been absolutely incredible! She is so kind, talented and truly a professional in what she does. She went above and beyond for my husband and I in so many ways through both our engagement and wedding photos. She talked us through every step of the process and was incredibly responsive and flexible through weather and COVID setbacks. Every photo received has been absolutely breathtaking! She knows how to capture a moment and make it really shine. I look forward to continuing to work with Stacie in the future, and will recommend her to everyone I know!

Stacie was amazing! We had never had professional photos taken before but we gave her some ideas of what we were looking for and she went over and beyond our expectations! She was so helpful on our wedding day. She coached us on how to pose, where to look, gave us funny cues to help take the anxiety and awkwardness that naturally occurs on a wedding day! We kept our wedding really low key and on a tight budget, Stacie and her work was and is worth every penny!!

If you're looking for amazing photos with beautiful vibrant colors, Stacie is your girl. If you're awkward in front of a camera and never know what to do with your hands, Stacie is your girl. If you want photos that look amazing but not overly posed, Stacie is your girl. if you want someone that goes the extra mile and bends her body in funny shapes to get "the perfect" shot, Stacie is your girl.

She has many talents but the greatest of them all is her ability to make you feel comfortable. I was really worried about posing prior to our shoot but she had easy commands (my personal favorite: "whisper in her ear in your best cookie monster voice") that elicits genuine laughs and smiles. You'll never feel awkward and your photos will look incredible.

10/10 recommend. She was so incredibly flexible with last minute rescheduling and location. Genuinely kind. She will be my family's photographer of choice going forward. Give her a try, you won't regret it. Worth every penny.

BONUS: she got our photos earlier than expected. Best unexpected email notification ever!!
