1000/10 recommend

Stefani and Brad were definitely the best money we spent on our wedding!! On the day of, they were so efficient and punctual. Stefani got all of my portraits/family photos done before the ceremony, which I asked for day of & they made it happen. They were so on-time that I even saw a smidge of cocktail hour after driving to the beach to get our photos--which is insane. They truly only needed 10 minutes to get hundreds of good photos. Stefani sent me sneak peeks (which were a ton of photos for a sneak peek!) less than a week after our wedding, which I was pleasantly surprised by. She worked so hard especially considering that she was pregnant! I got the full gallery about 2 weeks after. I was totally prepared to wait up to 2 months. I'm simply impressed. And she made me look like an angel the way she captured the sun on my dress🥺 We did buffet style and every time a table got announced to get their food, she chauffeured them to take a photo with us. We were both able to eat and talk to everyone because of her idea! After that nobody pulled our arms to talk to us all night, we were able to talk to people on our own terms.

Can’t Say Thank You Enough!!!!!

We cannot say enough how much we loved working with Stefani and Brad, and how seamless they helped make our day. On the day of your wedding, the last thing you want is to have to think about things or plan, and they did an absolutely amazing job telling us where we needed to be and when, and giving us plenty of direction and info of what would be up next so we would know what to expect. They were so funny, friendly, energetic, thoughtful, and made our big day that much better. They were so knowledgeable about what would look best, especially in our venue, that it made the photos go by so fast and efficiently, that my husband and I were even able to attend our own cocktail hour (which Stefani knew was my goal) 🤗 I even have a little 1.5 year old nephew who was our ring bearer and while his momma (my MOH) was busy taking pics with me and he was crying for her, Brad picked him up and played with him to calm him down, with ease.

The photos and video turned out absolutely stunning and everyone can’t stop saying how amazing the quality and coloring of all the wedding photos are. We are going to cherish these always! Again, cannot sing enough praise about these two!!!! THANK YOU BOTH we love you!!!!!

When you want the very best!

Stefani and Brad Boyd are the dream team for your wedding. As a photographer myself, I knew what I needed in a wedding photographer for my daughter. Stefani fit the bill precisely, as I had watched her work for years prior. As a husband-and-wife team, the Boyds know how to make everyone feel at ease. They are sensitive to family dynamics and place the comfort of the bride and groom as their top priority when shooting their wedding. Without hesitation, I am happy to refer this dream team to anyone and everyone!

Amazing!

Stefani and Brad are in a league of their own! Not only are they great at what they do, but they are so professional and fun to work with! My husband and I loved having them be a part of our special day. The turn around time for photos was SO quick and we could not believe how perfect they were.

If you are looking for a professional, talented, photographer/videographer....your search ends here!

Let me start off this review by saying that I was probably one of the most particular brides when it came to every vendor that would be servicing my wedding - photography/video included, of course. I closely researched close to 15 photographers all around CA and had consultations with a bunch. I read every single review from every wedding website before I made my selections.

I knew from my initial conversation with Stefani, that she was exactly what we were looking for. Not only was she incredibly communicative throughout the entire process (I'm taking very fast, especially for a wedding photographer during busy season) - but she delivered in more ways than I can explain!

The day of my wedding, there was a chance of rain during the ceremony and I was trying to keep it together. Stefani and Brad came in and truly put me at ease in every way - they got *every* shot I wanted and delivered sneak peaks in RECORD time. I was literally blown away by how amazing the photos are, I have been looking at them every day since and admiring them. All of our family and friends have said that our sneak peak photos look like a Pinterest board, bridal magazine ad, or that they're saving them as inspiration for when they get married. You can't really expect better compliments when you share your wedding photos with your loved ones!

If you're reading this review, take my word and hire Stefani Welsh Photography. You will be SO delighted and overjoyed at the wedding photos that you will look at and have to remember your special day forever. I truly recommend them 10/10 in every category and would pick them again a 1000x over!

Very professional- absolutely worth every penny!

Stefani and her husband were a great duo to shoot our wedding. Stefani had a baby 2 weeks before our date, however, she reassured us that she would be able shoot our special day. She and her husband showed up without skipping a beat- they are very invested in their work and will do anything to make it happen! On the day of the wedding, they were professional and coordinated everything efficiently without sacrificing quality. They are both personable people and easy to work with. My husband and I don't naturally pose well for photos but Stefani was really good about directing us on what to do.    
We chose Stefani because of her beautiful photos for a reasonable price. As expected, her photos were amazing and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Our wedding day was a very clear day for the most part and we were worried about light saturation from the sun, however, they did a very good job working with it and the pictures turned out well despite that.
We highly recommend Stefani & Brad!

Hire stefani welsh!

Stop looking at reviews and hire Stefani Welsh right now! We promise you won’t be sorry! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and exactly what we wanted, and we truly credit a good amount of that to Stefani, Brad, and their entire team. We could not have been happier with them from the moment we contacted them, through all the planning, and to the special day. Every time we met with Stefani, she was incredibly knowledgable, understanding, and helpful. She made sure that everything was prepared and organized for us, and it showed on the day of the wedding. Everyone on their team was ready to go and knew exactly what to do and when. One of the most important things on your wedding day is trusting that your vendors will do what you want without you having to worry. Stefani and her team went above and beyond our wildest expectations. Not only were they incredibly professional, but they were really nice and fun as well. They were great to be around the whole night. Above all else, our photos look absolutely spectacular. We are so incredibly happy with the amazing job that they did. We will truly cherish these memories forever, and that is all thanks to Stefani Welsh. Thank you so much, Stefani!

Amazing photographer/videographer team 🙌🏼

The Carcano DJ and Stefani Welsh Photography/Videography teams were a match made in heaven for our wedding! They’re a family group that works perfectly together. We were able to communicate any needs/wants and they all made sure to make it happen! Stefani and Brad were amazing with their team for photography and videography. Any ideas I had as the bride in the moment they were completely accommodating and able to make it work. We got our sneak peek pictures literally the day after the wedding and they were absolutely beautiful so I know the rest will be great as well! Can’t recommend Stefani enough ♥️

MUST HAVE Photographer and videographer

Could not wait to write this review! Stefani and Brad were amazing, nice, prompt, fun, professional and sweet! I wasn’t going to do a video UNTIL I saw my friends wedding video and it made me cry it was so beautiful. I quickly got on my phone to reach out and book them because I now NEEDED to have a video like that and I NEEDED them. Best decision I could have made. They are so talented I will definitely be using them for every occasion possible and referring them to everyone for photography and videography. Best videography and photography team! My siblings and friends can’t wait to use them when it’s time for their weddings.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
