Gave us everything we wanted and more!

We booked Stephanie last year at the start of our Wedding Planning sessions. Photos were the biggest concern for my wife and I, and we were not disappointed.

We always feel a little nervous getting our pictures taken, and Stephanie was incredibly flexible and reassuring throughout our Engagement shoot. She had her own ideas, but was open to suggestions and ideas, and was great at capturing our best angles. We were thrilled with our first session and no longer had any trepidation moving into our Wedding proper.

Our Wedding itself got hit by an unfortunate heat wave, which required us to make a lot of changes last minute. Stephanie was able to make it work, and helped us select a lot of indoor locations to shoot in on our venue's property. Her photos of the bridesmaids, groomsman, and selected family were wonderful, and will be cherished forever.

She made the best of the location and got some gorgeous shots of the sunset, as well as absolutely wild photos of the reception. She went above and beyond and stayed an extra few minutes to finish shooting for an especially fun song that was playing as she was about to leave.

Her turnaround time was also great, we had our wedding photos within 6 weeks or so of the Ceremony. Like before she shot and turned over so many photos, we've appreciated having so many options to choose from.

We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone that's looking to book a photographer for anything, and would gladly book her again.

We highly recommend Stephanie!

Stephanie was an absolutely amazing photographer for our wedding! She was incredibly easy to work with and always made sure we felt comfortable. We had a fair amount of photos to get through in a short time period, and she kept everyone on schedule and organized. If you need a photographer for your wedding and/or engagement photos, I highly recommend Stephanie!

Recommended!

Stephanie was our photographer for our November 2024 wedding. Prior to booking, she spent some time on calls with us to go over her services and packages, and she shared some sample galleries from past weddings with us. She has a variety of options that can work for different needs and budgets (amount of time, second shooter, engagement pics or no engagement pics). We did not want to have our photos posted on social media and she indicated she could accommodate that request. Leading up to the wedding we had a call with her to go over our photo list and timeline. Her experience was very helpful in planning the day. She had a questionnaire for us to fill in to give her some background on things for the wedding day. When our day arrived she was on time and ready to go. Throughout the day she was very helpful in making sure we were following the timeline and she also assisted with things like how to secure the bride's veil and the groom's pocket square. She got many great photos of all aspects of the wedding - pre-wedding shots, the bridal party, the ceremony, the reception, flowers and decorations etc. She also coordinated well with our videographer vendor. Near the end of the evening she made sure to check in with us before leaving in case there were any other photos we wanted. After the wedding she provided our photos with a good turnaround time and we received a large amount of photos from the wedding day. We recommend Stephanie to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer - she is reliable, pleasant to work with, and takes great photos!

Perfect Photographer

Words cannot describe how perfect Stephanie and her team was for our wedding. They were professional, organized, and accommodating. Stephanie made the day go by flawlessly. When something went wrong, she knew exactly what to do and kept us on track. When planning, she would always respond to any texts or emails. She also had her own ideas for photos, but took priority in any ideas that we gave her. Stephanie and her team have the best eye for photos and knew exactly how to capture every moment. We cannot thank Stephanie enough for her beautiful work.

Highly recommend for weddings

Used Stephanie for my daughter’s wedding in August. Very easy to talk to. Communication throughout the process was great. Captured all the great moments from start to finish of the wedding. Received pictures back quickly and love all of the pictures. Appreciate her willingness to listen to the needs/wants of my daughter and deliver pictures that we will cherish forever.

Loved our photos!

Stephanie photographed our engagement session and October wedding. We absolutely love every photo that Stephanie took! She listened to our wish list and paid attention to the images we wanted to capture for our special day. Stephanie was easy to work with, offered suggestions for our vision and timeline, helped corral our families for group shots, and was generally fun to be around! We would absolutely recommend Stephanie and hope to work with her in the future for family portraits!

Our Favorite Photographer!

We were lucky enough to have Stephanie take our engagement photos, and they turned out absolutely stunning!

As a couple, we don’t have much experience with photoshoots, but Stephanie guided us through the whole process. She was an expert in posing, making us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She was also very open to recreating specific poses we were interested in. I tend to feel insecure, but Stephanie made me feel beautiful throughout the whole session, and it showed in our photos.

Overall, we are in love with our photos and will be coming back to Stephanie Michelle Photography for future life-events. She is a wonderful human to work with and we highly recommend her services!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
