Stacey is the best decision you will make for your wedding day.

I have nothing but incredible things to say about Stacey. I couldn’t imagine our wedding day without her.
She was such a pleasure to work with from the beginning. Due to COVID we had to postpone our wedding an entire year out. Stacey was incredibly accommodating. Stacey was a part of our entire planning process. She gave us vendor recommendations and feedback on our decisions.
I loved having Stacey with us throughout the entire wedding. Stacey and her assistant Myra made our day amazing. They were so prepared and helped the day flow perfectly. They even had snacks for my husband and I. Stacey made sure to get all the photos we requested. She did a great job of rounding up all the family and bridal party.
I knew the photos were gonna be incredible from seeing other weddings, but I still can’t believe how beautiful our photos are. She captured the day so well. The photos are so crisp and clear. They are works of art. If you’re considering booking Stacey I’d honestly say make sure she is available before booking your date with your venue. Once the wedding is over with you only have photos and videos. Stacey is the best decision you will make for your wedding day.

Best photographer ever

Stacey is the BEST decision we made for our wedding. Her talent is unreal! She perfectly captured every moment of our wedding day. Her photos were the perfect blend of candid laughter/tears and fancy artistic wedding portraits. Not only is she amazingly talented but she is SO professional. She set up calls and went over every detail of the day with us prior to the wedding to ensure she'd capture it exactly how we imaged. She was always available to run ideas by. If welcomed she offers her expert advice/opinions and it ROCKS! We had a wedding coordinator for the day but Stacy and her team were really the ones keeping us on track and moving the day along.

My wedding day was HOT like 100 degrees and she basically spend the entire time in the sun- but wasn't even phased! She did it all with a smile. She worked so well with everyone, she handled our giant crazy family and bridal party so gracefully and our dog was obsessed with her! She is so funny, she had us cracking up all day which made our pics even better! All her advice and suggestions during planning and the day of were so helpful and really helped make our day magical. Lots of things were delayed or not ready on our day but Stacey was so quick to think and adapt we didn't even realize!

Again, her photos are unreal!! Watching the photos post wedding evoked so much emotion- not just from us but from everyone. Everyone we showed the photos to shed a tear from the beauty- family, friends, coworkers, even people we aren't close to or those who weren't at the wedding- everyone!! That is how powerful and beautiful Stacey's work is. She even had the stone cold emotionless family members gasping in awe and crying from the beauty! It takes true talent to capture such emotion. Stacey and her team are IT! We cannot recommend her enough. Best vendor we hired hands down!! Now we get to relive the day over and over with the gorgeous photos. Do not hesitate- book her and you won't regret it!!

Best decision we could have possibly made!!!

Stacey is an absolute godsend. Our wedding was originally in April of 2020. But as so many of us had to do, we pushed it because of covid. My husband and I decided to still get married on that day and push the big party. Stacey was so kind, helped us through the shock of having to cancel and was so flexible when booking the new date, May of 2021. Stacey put huge smiles on our face, by emailing us and sending us a little gift card on our original wedding date, to use for a date night! It was so unexpected and really made us feel like we weren’t just a name on a list of clients.

Leading up to the wedding, Stacey was always there to help! She assisted me with ironing out my timeline and answered all of my questions! Talking on the phone with her is like talking to a friend you haven’t seen in ages! She is so comfortable and genuine and you can’t help but feel at ease when you speak with her!

The day of our wedding was just absolutely fantastic. Stacey arrived and started doing some detail photos while I finished getting ready. While I was getting my dress put on, I started getting really overwhelmed that we were running late or that I was taking too long. Stacey could see that and delicately asked everyone to leave the room so she could do some solo shots with me. Once everyone was gone, she got me some water and had me take some deep breaths. She was so comforting and gave me the much needed moment to myself that I didn’t even know I needed.

Everything went so flawlessly with her and she was so goofy and loving that my husband (who hates taking photos) and his family were even smiling at her! I’ve seen three of our photos so far and seeing the genuine smiles on my husbands face are so amazing!! He normally does not smile in photos!

Staceys assistant, Myra, was beyond amazing!! My husband said that she fit right it at the house the morning of, taking photos of the boys getting ready. She was so helpful and she really put in 100% effort on those veil blowing in the wind shots. My husband and I would both start laughing when she would toss my veil and then we would hear her feet pitter pattering away as she ran out of the shot. It was so much fun doing our solo shots with Stacey and Myra. We keep saying how nice it was that we stayed at our church when everyone left to do the photos. We got to be ourselves and relax while having a great time. It was drizzling out just a bit and it made for some great moments! I’m so glad we trusted Stacey and did the outdoor shots!

Honestly the most difficult part is just waiting for the photos. The 3 sneak peaks I got are beyond gorgeous and I can’t imagine how much I’ll cry seeing all of the rest!!

A Vital Part of our Wedding

Stacey was a vital part of our wedding planning process and the day of! Stacey helped Sean and I plan out everything we wanted out of our photos and the "day of" timeline. I had no idea how to begin to plan a timeline, but her knowledge of the industry and what works best, helped us to plan to perfection and calmed our fears that we might be forgetting something. She had so many little tidbits of information that gave us the personalized wedding we wanted. Stacey helped us get past the HOT HOT HEAT on the day of our wedding and still get the most GORGEOUS photos I've ever seen. She understood exactly what we wanted (vintagey, romantic, candid, nature-inspired photos) and boy, did she deliver! She worked her magic to get cranky toddlers to smile, kindly kept parents/bridal party members moving along when the clock started to tick, and put the needs of the couple first. She knew when I was overheating before I did and knew exactly when to take breaks or keep moving along. She is a true people person and was able to seamlessly navigate the potentially sticky situations between divorced parents and estranged family members. She also worked seamlessly with our videographer. I am so happy we went with Stacey after my friend recommended her...now she's doing my other friend's wedding in August! She was able to capture so much emotion in the photos, which was exactly what we wanted. The photos we have will be treasured by our family for years and years to come! Thank you, Stacey!

Simply the best!

There aren’t enough words to accurately depict how amazing Stacey is. She is simply amazing. A true professional. From the beginning through to the end. she offered so much guidance and kindness. My now husband and I are not very into taking pictures but Stacey made us feel so comfortable. I also spoke with Stacey about some of my insecurities and she put me at ease and I am still in shock at how great I look in all the pictures. The engagement shoot and my wedding pictures were beyond perfect. She truly is an artist and has mastered her craft. Not only is Stacey an amazing photographer she is an amazing person. Stacey even helped me into my wedding dress and buttoned me up because my mom couldn’t see the buttons lol. If you want amazing pictures and an amazing experience from a truly wonderful and kind person, look no further because Stacey is that and so much more. My brother is recently engaged and im so happy that they have chosen Stacey to photograph their wedding as well. AMAZING!

Stacey was my favorite vendor!

Working with Stacey was so much fun. We hated the thought of being photographed all day so needed to find someone that we were super comfortable with and Stacey was 100% that person. She’s just easy to vibe with. Her work on her social media and website speaks for itself. She’s got a huge heart and a kind soul, one of those people who just lights up the space and so many people at the wedding mentioned how she was just the best. She was excited. She was involved. I think all of that is super important for the wedding photographer specifically - they capture the day for your forever memories. She helped me with my timeline to assure everything ran smoothly. She’s genuinely invested in her clients and you can feel it. So glad we had Stacey as a part of our day!

A-MA-ZING Photography

After working with Stacey for my sister's wedding four years ago, I knew that I had to have her as my own photographer when our wedding day came. My husband and I planned our entire wedding around Stacey's availability because we knew it would be worth it! It is rare to find a wedding photographer who is passionate, sweet and truly talented. Stacey, and her awesome second photograph, Cait, are all of those in one. They took the time to learn family dynamics and were patient and helpful amongst the chaos of crying toddlers and dogs. They made me feel more beautiful than I ever thought possible. Although we have not received the photos yet (we just got married), I have no doubt they will blow us away. Stacey and Cait moved around with ease (even despite a fractured foot), made sure to get pictures of all of our friends and family and still allowed us time to enjoy our wedding. We cannot articulate enough how thankful we are to them. They made our day that much more special.

The best!!

Dear Stacey was one of the best wedding decisions we made! Her passion for capturing our day was clear from the moment we first met her–she truly cares about her couples. Our friends and family were amazed by Stacey's ability to organize a crowd and make everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera (even my husband who hates taking photos!). Stacey took on so much more than the role of photographer, she made our day. We absolutely love our wedding photos, they beautifully depict every detail and special moment. Stacey did not miss a beat - I cannot recommend her enough!!

Such an amazing experience!

We absolutely loved having Stacey photograph our wedding! She really took the time to get to know us and help us through the wedding planning process, through multiple phone calls and our engagement photo shoot. She truly loves her job and that comes through in her photos. The many pictures (about 1700!!) we have are absolutely breathtaking and a great way to remember such a wonderful day! I would highly recommend her!
