Words can't describe how amazing Stephanie and Charles are. They are truly masters at their craft and their work is a testament of that. From our initial consult with Stephanie in March 2019, she was so professional and dedicated to giving us exactly what we wanted. We knew she was the one and immediately swooped her up for our engagement photos and wedding day! We did our engagement photos with her in August 2019 and I was so impressed. Weather was an issue that day, but it was not an issue at all for Stephanie. With the bat of an eye, she reworked a plan for us, navigating weather conditions, and our photos came out to be a DREAM. Flash forward to our September 2020 wedding amidst all the craziness of COVID-19, Stephanie and Charles made our day absolutely perfect. They were so fun to work with, capturing all the big and small details beautifully, as well as working with our larger families and wedding party. We have only gotten our preview, but we are already in love with how the photos turned out. I would recommend them to ANY bride getting married. Their level of professionalism and talent is unmatched. Look no further!
OMG Rachel! I can't thank you enough for such kind words! I'm IN LOVE with every photo we've take for you, and I cannot wait for you to see the rest!

Best Photographer Ever!!
We hired Stephanie to shoot our engagement session and wedding/reception and couldn't be happier with her work! She really made us feel comfortable with the engagement shoot as we never had professional pictures taken before. She had beautiful places to go in Wilmington and endless cute poses. For the wedding, she ensured that she caught every important moment and knew how to direct everyone's attention for the best photos. She got us 80 "highlight" photos on Monday.. 2 days after the wedding! And it only took her ~4-5 weeks to get our entire album. We are so pleased with our pictures and so thankful for Stephanie. We would recommend her to anyone!!!

The. Best. Photo/video. Team.
So many different vendors are involved in a wedding. Of all the various vendors I worked with for our wedding, Stephanie and Charles were, by far, the very best and my favorites to work with. I researched quite a few photographers/videographers and, without a doubt, the Axtells had the absolute highest quality of work for the most affordable price. You will not find a more affordable, more talented duo than the Axtells. Both of them were so flexible, professional, timely, made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and took the time to learn about us and our personalities to ensure that they were able to capture US. They did just that and more!
With COVID-19 throwing quite a few wrenches in to our wedding plans, they were so accommodating and helpful in ensuring we were taken care of with phenomenal photos and videos. After engagement photos, getting to know them at other weddings of some of our friends, and spending our wedding day with them, I view the Axtells as friends at this point. They are incredible people you can trust to capture all of the joys, emotions, and celebrations that are so special throughout wedding season.
I've referred the Axtells to at least 5 other couples at this point and I would refer them to anyone else! They will go above and beyond for any client and I HIGHLY recommend them!
Brooke! You're literally one in a million, you've been our best cheerleader from day one, and I can't wait to continue capturing all the steps on your wedding journey! Next time we're in Raleigh (and everything's open) we'd love to grab a drink!!!
Stephanie is an amazing photographer with the eye for any situation! We collaborate ideas and business strategies daily to grow our individual businesses. Stephanie Axtell Photography delivers high quality work in a very professional manner. She has second shot for me in the past and will continue to do so in the future!
