100000000% Recommend Stephanie Brazzle!
I cannot recommend Stephanie Brazzle enough! Stephanie photographed our engagement and our wedding.
At our proposal, Stephanie was in the bar when I arrived. I had no idea that my boyfriend was about to propose. Stephanie leaned in and played the part of "fellow bar-goer" so well that I never suspected she was actually a professional photographer there to capture my proposal!
It was such a surreal and emotional experience. Stephanie captured it so beautifully, blending into the background but somehow also capturing the most intimate shots.
They imagery is so "us." My best friend even saw a photo of me laughing with my fiance and said, "I can hear you in this photo."
Stephanie quickly provided soooo many images from the proposal. I am still sorting through them 2.5 years after the proposal! I think I posted one photo daily during my engagement.
Then, Stephanie did the most phenomenal job at our wedding. She had a call with us before to understand our vision for the wedding and what we hoped to capture on the big day. She made sure she understood exactly what we wanted, then she definitely delivered on the big day.
We really wanted a similar feel at the wedding as the proposal - we wanted her to capture the love and joy in the room. She did it so well. There are thousands of amazing photos.
We couldn't believe how many shots she got. We expected about 10 preview images, but had about 300. We spent hours on our honeymoon looking through them all.
Then, we got sooo many images in the final batch. We got to share them with all of our friends and family. They were just as shocked and impressed with the quantity and quality.
1.5 years later and I am still posting "never before seen" images. There were just so many good ones!
I truly cannot say enough good things about Stephanie Brazzle. She captured our emotions, the best candids, and made us look stunning. I am so happy we had Stephanie as our photographer. I will literally always cherish the photos.
One more thing - we actually flew Stephanie in to Chicago for our wedding, even though she is based in Dallas. She had shot our engagement in Dallas and we loved the photos so much, we felt it was worth it to fly her to Chicago. We did the destination wedding package and it was so worth it! We got to have her at our rehearsal dinner/welcome party, where we got hundreds of amazing photos, too. It was so fun to have her along the wedding journey - from the proposal to the after-party.
I literally cannot recommend her enough.
