About

I was born and raised in Europe. My family and I came to the U.S. ten years ago. Next to taking pictures, I love hiking, biking and playing tennis. My favorite tea is Chai Tea Latte and there is no day without chocolate. I believe dogs are really humans and that everything happens for a reason.

Photography has always been my passion and a perfect way to express the way I look at life. I was professionally trained in Europe, I worked and traveled the world as a photojournalist, event and wedding photographer. My camera is a mirror, capturing emotions and special moments to relive them for years to come. A way to look at the world. You can find beauty in everything and everyone.

During my 20 year career, I was privileged to photograph a wide range of diverse personalities. From street musicians to CEO's. Scientists to Beauty Queens, Politicians to Models. But nothing compares to a wedding day. Picturing the love and emotions between two people is fascinating. It is very special to me and I love every single part of it.

You can see my work published in Germany, Switzerland, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Spain, France, and the U.S.

Please feel free to call or email at any time. I am looking forward to meet you.

We'll Hire Stefy Again and Again and Again!

We love Stefy! We hired her over the summer to shoot our engagement photos, and we had such a great experience with her that we booked her for our wedding ~6 months later. Stefy is so kind and professional, and FUN! She is down to earth and friendly and patient. She’s also extremely talented and has a vision for each and every photo. We love her creativity and her presence. It’s so important to find someone you trust and vibe with, and we feel fortunate to have found Stefy. She was by our side throughout our wedding day, helping to ensure that it was the wedding of our dreams and making sure to capture the moments we want to remember forever. She blew our expectations out of the water. Stefy adapted to every twist and turn on our wedding day, dealt graciously with a few difficult personalities, and most importantly, captured the love between me and my now-husband. She doesn’t just take photos – she freezes beautiful moments in time, whether candid or not. We DEFINITELY recommend her and will continue to hire her as we need photographers in the future.

Amazing Experience with Stefy

My husband and I were very fortunate to meet Stefy at the Newport Bridal Expo while planning our summer wedding at Glen Manor House in Portsmouth. After viewing Stefy’s incredible work and speaking with her at the show, we knew right away that she was the photographer for us! We were planning a same year wedding, and by a twist of fate, Stefy was able to squeeze us into her busy wedding season schedule.

Our luck continued because Stefy proved to be an amazing professional to work with. We met several times to align on vision and expectations for the day of. We appreciated the multiple package options, which included a custom design album. We loved getting to know Stefy in the months leading up to our wedding.

We began our wedding weekend with a rehearsal brunch, where Stefy captured so many happy moments among family and friends. On the day of, Stefy and her team worked incredibly hard (in hot weather!) throughout the entire day, from getting ready through late night dancing. I cannot tell you how many people commented on how awesome and hard working Stefy was, yet so stealth in moving around the event. Stefy’s coordination and wonderful personality helped make the day go smoothly. She is amazing with guests, wedding party members, kids, and pets!

We absolutely loved the gallery that Stefy created. The photos are truly amazing and represent us and our special weekend. Stefy worked with us closely in designing our album over several consultations until it was perfect.

There is a reason Stefy is an award winning photographer. You will not regret working with Stefy to capture the best moments of your life.

Stefy is simply amazing.

I proposed to my fiance at our favorite restaurant in Newport, RI and wanted to be sure to properly capture the moment. After reviewing a number of local options online I created a shortlist and called each to check availability and make sure our styles and visions were in line with one another. After speaking with Stefy it was easy to make my decision.

Stefy's talent and vision made the engagement unforgettable. She arrived early on site (which was immensely appreciated), framed each shot ahead of time to make sure the reaction was caught properly, and even went as far as to coordinate the room and the staff in the restaurant to be sure everything was perfect. After I proposed she walked with us through Newport and lent us her creative eye to help us further commemorate our engagement.

If I could give Stefy higher reviews I would. I own a wedding venue near Philadelphia and have seen many photographers over time; Stefy's dedication to excellence and raw talent make her one of the best I've worked with. She's positive, upbeat, and extremely easy to work with. Five stars all the way.
