About

Photographs by Stephanie is a husband & wife photo + video team based in NC, owned and operated by Stephanie & Ryan!

We are hugely sentimental people, which is one of the many reasons why we love what we do so much: it is such a privilege to know that we are helping families preserve memories that will be cherished forever.

We believe in capturing real moments, in documenting love stories, and in creating tangible memories to last throughout the years. We believe firmly that the most important thing about your wedding day is your marriage. As artists, of course we love capturing all of the beautiful details that go into planning your perfect day, but what we are REALLY passionate about is capturing your love story. We are not into awkward posing, and want to truly capture you: the way you look at each other, the tears and the laughter, the kisses, the cuddles, and all the little in-between moments that often go undocumented.

Relationship building is important to us, and we both want to be more than vendors on your wedding day. We want to be the kind of people you feel comfortable with and can call friends by the time the big day is finally here; we are here to help with anything in the wedding planning process that you need because we have been there and know how much truly goes into it!

We offer photo-only packages, video-only packages, and discounted photo + video packages. Check out our website to view our work, find out more about our style, and get in touch!

Engagement Photos

Stephanie was so sweet and fun to work with! My fiancée and I were nervous because we rarely get pictures taken, but she made the entire shoot feel comfortable and effortless. She had amazing recommendations for location and tips for what to wear and what to bring. Her help took so much stress out of preparing for our pictures. The pricing and time it took for her to edit the photos were also super reasonable. The whole experience was so easy. The pictures turned out so incredible as well. Stephanie had some many ideas for cute poses. The quality of the photos and her editing were amazing as well! My fiancée and I had such a hard time choosing a favorite because they were all stunning! We were so happy with how they turned out and couldn’t wait to show everyone. This was by far the best experience I had getting pictures taken. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie for your engagement and wedding photos!

Beyond thrilled with Stephanie

Stephanie is one of the most genuine and talented photographers you will meet. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process - from engagement pictures to our wedding day. Her aesthetic truly is timeless and organic in every way and we are beyond thrilled with her work. We were so impressed that she was able to shoot our wedding by herself and provide such high quality pictures from all different angles. We are so blessed to have Stephanie capture some of the best moments of our lives and I am so glad we trusted her with giving us beautiful memories we will cherish forever.

Truly captured our love story

Wow! Choosing Stephanie to photograph our engagement and wedding was the best decision we made! Her style matched exactly what I was looking for, and she is so personable to work with! She has an eye for detail to make sure the background, lighting, hair, outfit—everything— looks as it should, resulting in so many beautiful memories. We received our photos back so fast and she always replied to my questions quickly! There are so many worries with wedding planning— but one thing I did not have to worry about was the photography because Stephanie provides the highest quality services and professionalism. Thank you Stephanie!

Incredible

My husband and I were very picky when reviewing photographers as this was easily one of the most important vendors to us.

Stephanie went above and beyond in making our special day (and events leading up to it) perfect. She did bridal portraits and an engagement session with us as well. Her and her husband both shot our wedding and we got over a thousand AMAZING pictures.

They are kindest people ever and made wedding planning so much less stressful. We met for coffee a few times before our wedding to ensure that she knew exactly what we wanted and we got just that.

Could not recommend Stephanie enough!

Highly Recommend

My husband and I hired Stephanie to shoot our courthouse wedding. We couldn’t be happier with the pictures or the experience we had working with her. Stephanie is very responsive and professional. She helped us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and had great ideas for the various shots. We will be contacting Stephanie for any photography needs in the future!

Capturing the best day of our lives

Stephanie was amazing from the very first email. She was professional, organized & informative. She took our vision & turned into something amazing. By the end of the wedding process she felt like family. We tend to be awkward in front of the camera. She did a wonderful job of making us feel comfortable & allowing our personalities & love to show throughout the pictures. We will appreciate her forever for capturing perfect memories that will last a lifetime.

An awesome experience!

We loved working with Stephanie for our engagement photos! Stephanie was professional and easy to get in touch with. It was our first time getting professional pictures taken together and her warm, reassuring presence that put us at ease during a new experience. Stephanie was incredibly willing to accommodate our hyperactive dog as well.

As for the photos themselves, we could not be more thrilled!!! Stephanie was very timely about sharing sneak peeks with us and we got our final album right on time! Her editing style perfectly matched the vibe we were going for and gave us the perfect photos to use for our wedding invitation and website.

Overall, we simply cannot overstate how happy we are to have worked with Stephanie and would absolutely, whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer!

Stephanie did our maternity photoshoot and did such a wonderful job! She captured such a special moment in time for us and we are forever grateful to have these to look back at and cherish. She was very quick to respond to me and was so easy to work with. I would highly recommend her!

Capturing the moments

More than anything we wanted the magical feeling to be captured on film. Stephanie did an amazing job looking back on the pictures I could feel that moment in my heart. At first my husband didn't understand the importance of a great photographer but having the engagement photo shoot he changed his mind. She made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera. If we need a photographer for anything else she is the best.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
