Great experience!

Stephanie did our engagement session and our wedding photos. We love her style, and she was super laid back and easy to get along with. She has a creative eye and really made us look our best! She was flexible and professional. Highly recommend as a wedding photographer! Thank you, Stephanie!

Trustworthy, experienced photographer provides beautiful lifelong images

I can't believe I am just now getting around to writing a review about Stephanie. She is AH-MAZING! Our wedding was last November and I couldn't be happier with our pictures. We actually won an engagement session with Stephanie back in 2015 and she gave us the same treatment she would have with a paying customer. Stephanie is a very kind, warm hearted person with a very talented eye. We were so happy with our engagement picture results that we KNEW we had to have Stephanie as our wedding photographer. She takes the time to get to know you and really understand your wedding day vision. She was very knowledgeable about the right time to take photos. For example, she reminded us that with a fall wedding date, it would get dark early, which helped us create our timeline. I had full faith in her photography and direction and didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day of. She took charge of situations (like my brother running late to photographs, and an antsy shuttle driver) and stuck to our family portrait list to keep us on track! I am so happy we chose Stephanie and have the beautiful images we do today to remind us of our most memorable day. As a graphic designer I have a keen eye to quality images, and the way Stephanie uses natural light is amazing. I've had two friends now use Stephanie for family photos or children's birthday parties because they know her results are great and returned within a reasonable amount of time. I'm sure we'll have more images from Stephanie in the years to come! I literally could go on, and on, and on about her. You will be very happy with the talent, knowledge, flexibility, and love that Stephanie provides in her work.

Incredible!

Stephanie is absolutely amazing at what she does. She takes the appropriate time to get to know her clients and captures personalities perfectly. Stephanie is patient with large wedding parties and group photos. Her photos are super high quality with an amazing bright color, and crisp details. We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos and have recommended Stephanie to multiple friends & family members.

Couldn’t have been better!

Stephanie was referred to me for a last minute courthouse wedding, and I’m so thankful she was! She made the entire process so easy, and was the definition of grace under fire when things became hectic. The photos turned out so well, and we couldn’t be happier.

Worth it for beautiful, natural pictures

Stephanie was found by friends after some recommendations- we had a small non-traditional ceremony that had a somewhat loose schedule and she was so accommodating considering this. We then went to the State House for pics and the way the pics are composed you would never know that's where we took the pics. She was easy to work with and me and my husband actually enjoyed taking the pics (which we don't normally do) she gave great direction that was easy to execute and everyone says the pics are beautiful and most importantly natural! Also as a black person with darker skin she did an amazing job! Worth the money for an Hr session!

Stephanie is truly the BEST photographer! She was my sister photographer for her wedding and I fell in love with the pictures so I knew I wanted her to be mine at my wedding! I had a great experience during both our engagement photos and wedding photos! She is so nice, caring and was always available when needed! Stephanie made my wedding day go by so smoothly as she is so organized and knows all the poses to do without us having to suggest any! I would definitely recommend her!! We can't thank her enough for capturing our special day!!

I don't even know where to start when it comes to Stephanie. We were completely WOWED by her and the quality of the pictures and service that we received. I was a Bride that wanted answers right when I had them and Stephanie always quickly responded to my emails with detailed answers to my many questions. We first did the engagement session that came with our package and we were in love with all of the pictures. This was both my husband and I's first time really doing something like this so we were nervous. Stephanie did a great job at making us not feel awkward :) Leading up to the wedding Stephanie met with me when I needed and we planned out a whole timeline of how the wedding day would go. She made sure this timeline was up to me and that it included all the detail I wanted for my day. On our actual wedding day we got caught in a storm outside the statehouse and I was freaking out that we got so behind schedule but she was calm and made me know it was going to be ok. Once we got through the storm and back into the statehouse everything went smoothly from there! She made sure I had all the pictures I wanted and assured me that everything would be fine. We received our wedding pictures so quickly and we were happy with every single one of them!! Stephanie even met up with me to give me my pictures in person because I preferred that over having them sent in the mail. My husband and I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future when we have a family and need more portraits! Her beautiful pictures and her kindness is amazing we feel very lucky that we found her and were able to have her be a part of our wedding day!

Not only did she do my wedding but my brothers' wedding as well! She was such a joy to work with! We had so much fun with her and the pictures turned out better than I dreamed they ever could! She captured everything and more for our special day! Having her as my photographer was the best decision and I would do it all over again!!

From our first meeting with Stephanie to after the wedding, it was an absolute pleasure. She is so organized and has a brilliant artistic eye that we love. Our engagement photos were amazing and she was so fun to work with. She gave really good pointers to us when we didn't know what to do with our hands or posture - this was a big help for us! The wedding day she was so organized and ready to role while I was so scatter brained, she kept me calm and made sure all the pictures we talked about would be taken without me thinking about them. She went to great lengths to get a few unique shots and handled all the situations I didn't want to :) Thanks again!!! And of course the photos are AMAZING. A pointer to brides: if you go in Pinterest and pick out what kind of group photos you want, she'll be able to give that to you! I didn't take the time to do that, and there are a few pictures I wish I would have discussed with her ahead of time, my fault!

Throughout the entire 9 months of wedding planning, she kept very good communication with my husband and I. The only small little thing that could be a room for improvement would be in emails to 'reply all'. My husband and I worked together on almost everything for the wedding , including communications via email with our vendors because we were planning a Columbus wedding from Cleveland. Sometimes the emails were only sent to one of us. It wasn't that big of a deal, we are engineers so we have our email quirks :)

If I ever want to hire a photographer again, she'll be my first call! She is truly amazing!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
