About

My name is Stefanie and I've been capturing memories here on the central coast for over 15 years.

My motto is "keep it fun!"

I believe that ANYONE regardless of budget deserves to have amazing wedding photos, those memories are forever and need to be captured and charished.

I'm the type of photographer that dives in head first, my style isn't the old stuffy everyone look at the camera and say cheese but rather a modern fun approach that allows us to capture your personalities and let you just be you.

I want you to be able to relax, have fun, grab a drink... we'll work with you to create a photography schedule that allows you to get those great images your are looking for while still enjoying your celebration. Our focus is on having fun with you, your family and friends while capturing creative and unique images that you can treasure for a lifetime (and don't worry while we're having fun being creative we'll make sure to get those family portraits that stand the test of time).

I look forward to hearing more about your wedding plans and seeing if we would be a good fit for your wedding day!

Timeless photos!

Stefanie is the BEST. For someone like myself, who feels so awkward taking posed photos, she was the perfect wedding photographer for my husband and I. She’s hilarious and when you meet her, you feel like you’ve known her for years. We were laughing and having fun the whole time and my wedding party enjoyed her as well. Stefanie will be your #1 hype woman for all of the photo taking. She does such a great job getting all of the shots you want, but also staying on schedule. Not to mention, her style of photography is timeless! I highly recommend her!!

Absolutely Amazing

Stefanie helped me make our wedding exactly how we wanted it. She was so helpful from day one. She was able to make sure that we were able to get all the coverage that we needed for our small wedding. From the first time talking with her it felt like we knew her for years. She was so fun shooting with with and made all our nerves go away. We had no idea where to start with our time line for the day and she was able to help us right one out. The photos turned out better than I could have ever dreamed

Stefanie is AMAZING! Wow! We love our engagement and wedding photos so much! And just as much, we love Stefanie. She is so kind, personable, funny, and went above and beyond to make our day special. Stefanie is so knowledgeable about posing, lighting, timing - all of it. She made our sessions so comfortable, easy, and fun. You truly get your money's worth with high quality photos and service. We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out and how much fun we had working with Stefanie. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Spallino Wedding

I met Stefanie at my best friends wedding. I was so impressed with how well she handled the pressure of gathering everyone together when it came time for family/bride & groom photos. I decided right then and there that she was going to be my photographer for my wedding. Fast forward almost 3 years and it was go time! My wedding was on a large property with separate houses for the bridal party and groomsmen to get ready. Her timing was incredible every step of the way. I was amazed at how well she balanced going back and forth from the girls house and the boys house. The quality of our photos was incredible and she kept a good attitude the entire time. I would 100000 times recommended her!

Stef will make your dreams photos come true!

This review is long overdue but I want to take this time and space now to let readers know that I am forever grateful that I crossed paths with Stef because I have the most beautiful wedding photos thanks to her magic. Honestly, I was so overwhelmed with how breathtaking my photos were, I had to take breaks in between to return to my photos and stare at them once more trying to figure out which ones I wanted to print and hang or put in an album. She gave me so many options to choose from and I was so proud to share them with close friends and family. Not only is she talented and experienced in her field, she has an excellent sense of humor and was a hype woman leading up to my big day. She’s a perfectionist and shoulders enough of it so that the bride can relax and enjoy! You can absolutely trust the process with Stef and rest assured you will receive pieces better than imagined. I am so looking forward to working with her again because I would love for her to capture the rest of my life.

Stefanie is the BEST!

Stefanie has been our “family” photographer for several years, so it was an obvious choice to select her for our wedding. I have always been so impressed with her work; I’ve followed her IG for years, and so I knew she was the right fit for us. And our expectations were exceeded in every sense! She provided great direction, and a keen eye for detail. And it showed in every single photo. We could not be happier with the results!! I can’t wait to have our photos on display in our home for all of us to enjoy!

The best of the best

We loved having Stefanie to photograph our engagement and wedding! She is so fun, kind, makes you feel wonderful and is a pleasure to be around! We did our engagement shoot at the Oceano Dunes then rushed over to Avila Beach because I also wanted beach sunset pictures. She never hesitated driving to a new location and it was a fun adventure! We also did a bridal portrait (which I highly recommend) because our wedding day was going to be chaotic the day off. We met at the venue two nights before and got EVERYTHING we needed which made the wedding day less chaotic for her and also for us! Not only is she fun to be around, she is truly a genuine person and we are beyond lucky to have her to photograph our journey and our wedding g day! She takes beautiful pictures and nailed every single type of picture we wanted! We can’t say enough about our photographer! Oh, she is also best friends with our videographer, Storiestoldbyfilm so why not have the two most important vendors together considering they’ve worked hundreds of weddings together. They were the best team to make the day that much more perfect!
