Review summary
The photographer is calm, professional, and highly organized, providing helpful planning, rehearsal support, and prompt communication. Couples praise her artistic eye, emotional candid shots, beautiful edits, fast turnaround, and fair pricing. She works smoothly with second shooters and vendors, puts people at ease, and is widely recommended for weddings.
Fantastic, experienced, and personable photographer
She has so much experience and talent that shows in every aspect of her work, from planning session meetings to the gallery afterward, and her prices are not only lower than we were going to be paying elsewhere, the value is incomparable. The artistic direction during portrait photography was also amazing, she quickly put us at ease and we just knew it would be a fantastic product. (And it was!)
The second photographer she works with was also indispensable, their teamwork was so good we hardly noticed he was even there.
Above all, we felt like we've made a new friend, who we can reunite with any time we may want a photographer in the future. We look forward to having an opportunity to see her again soon!
Stephanie was a dream to work with
