Captured every emotion!

Steph was one of the best choices I made in my wedding planning! I had no idea how impactful these photos would be on my life but I lost my mom 3 months after the wedding. These photos captured my mom's spirit in a way I didn't think was possible and will be one of my most treasured possessions for the rest of my life. Not only that but Steph was just a joy to work with, she set my husband and my mind at ease and managed to make our incredibly awkward group of people look stunning! She captured every emotion in the day without making photos look staged or effortful. I cannot recommend her enough, if you are looking to plan your big day in the near future pick Steph!

Exceptional Photographer

We are so glad we chose Steph as our engagement and wedding photographer! She was truly amazing.

From our first phone call to go over wedding packages, I knew Steph would be a perfect fit as our photographer. She was very friendly, funny and laid back. She asked lots of questions to get to know my husband and I, and to get a feeling of what we were looking for in our wedding photos.

We first met Steph in person for our engagement photo session. My husband and I had never done photos together—and we're not really the lovey dovey type—so I was concerned our photos would be awkward. But, Steph made us feel comfortable instantly. We had a blast during the photoshoot and were very pleased with how the photos turned out.

Steph kept in good contact with us leading up to the wedding and made it easy to coordinate details. She helped us with our wedding day timeline and had lots of suggestions for what types of photos would be good to capture.

On the wedding day, Steph was once again amazing. She took initiative to get the photos we needed—whether that meant corralling family members for our formal portraits or riding in the back of a golf cart all over the course to capture our first photos as husband and wife.

Steph truly exceeded all our expectations. She is kind, friendly, organized, knowledgeable, professional and talented. Our photos turned out amazing and we are beyond thankful that she was there to capture our big day.

Amazing experience with an incredible photographer!

I can’t even begin to say enough good things about Steph! She was an absolute joy to work with on the day of the wedding (and all of our correspondences prior!) She is so down-to-earth, kind and most importantly - an amazing, gifted photographer! Steph perfectly captured all of our beautiful moments and delivered the most stunning, authentic photos. We relive each and every moment every time we look at our pictures. Throughout the wedding planning process, I was unsure if I picked the right venue, if my vision would come out exactly as I wanted, etc. The one thing I had no question about was Steph. She made me feel at ease the entire process and I fell more and more in love with her work with each passing photo. She is truly the best! You will not be disappointed!

Steph is truly an amazing artist we are so happy we chose her to photograph our wedding. The photography was very important to me and I was very picky with what I wanted. I looked through what felt like hundreds of potential photographers until I found Steph. Her style is laid back which was perfect for us. She made sure to capture all our moments without having us stop and “pose” which made our pictures so genuine and real. We are not a couple who takes a lot of pictures but Steph made us feel so comfortable and our pictures reflected that. Steph was also super organized and responsive to all my questions; overall she was jut wonderful to work with! I cannot emphasize how happy we are that she was our photographer!

Steph was absolutely incredible. Other wedding photographers use your wedding day as any other business day... they’ll take some photos, touch up a couple, and post the rest on their blog to gain likes.

Steph makes everything personal and authentic. You can always get in touch with her, and she gave us a USB of all of our wedding photos much to the delight of our families.

Her style is elegant, and you can truly tell she loves doing her job.

Plus she’s super affordable for the quality of pictures! She’s as best as anyone you will find for the job. She also brought on an assistant photographer for our wedding who was just as incredible, courteous, and professional.

My wife and I highly, highly, highly recommend her as your photographer for your big day.
