    Captured The Best Day Perfectly

    Stacy was so helpful in planning our wedding! We had many unknowns with our wedding, as it was in the middle of the pandemic, but she was very patient and super positive. I also did not not have many ideas or know what to plan, but Stacy was so good at giving us recommendations and ideas! I highly recommend her!!

    Stacy is AMAZING to work with!

    Stacy became more than just a photographer, she became a friend. I am very organized and OCD, and Stacy met my needs. Whenever I had a question, she got back to me the same day- usually within an hour! I got a sneak peak of our wedding photos the NEXT day! She is so friendly and bubbly that it is FUN to be around her. My husband HATES pictures and he even enjoyed working with Stacy! Stacy helped make our wedding day perfect! I never had to worry about a timeline- she took care of that and made sure we always stayed on track. Stacy is by far one of the best photographers I have ever worked with!

    Great experience overall, made taking pictures enjoyable and amazing end product

    I am so happy we chose to ilystudios to capture our wedding! Stacy was so great to work with- she made everything easy before the wedding and was relaxed but organized the day of the wedding. Our pictures turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined and I am so thankful to get to have these memories forever!

    Absolutely amazing!

    10/10 recommend! We loved having Stacy as part of our day. She is an amazing photographer and person! From the first time we met her at our engagement session I knew she would be the perfect photographer for us. My husband hates taking pictures and she made him feel very comfortable and relaxed with her wonderful attitude/energy! Our wedding day, she did such a good job keeping things moving, she is very organized, and has a lot of great ideas. Every picture she takes is gold and she is so good at what she does. We will never need to look for another photographer because we will continue to book Stacy with ily studios for all our future picture needs!

    Absolutely incredible.

    Stacy is absolutely amazing. She makes things go so smoothly, thinks of everything and keeps everyone calm and organized. She is beyond hilarious and so much fun to work with. Our day would not have been as perfect without her. We will forever recommend her for anyone! If you are contemplating how much you spend... trust me, she is beyond worth it! Her pictures are flawless and the memories you will make are documented so perfectly with the help of Stacy!

    BEST Photographer Ever

    Stacy is such an amazing photographer. From the engagement session, planning, and the day of she walked me through not only the photography portion but the timeline in general. She was so fun to work with and someone I enjoyed having by my side for our big day! My husband and I love all of the photos she takes and will for sure continue to recommend her and use her in the future! She is the BEST!

    The absolute best.

    When you select Stacy as your photographer, you get so much more than just a photographer. You get a friend, a hype girl, an extra set of hands to help with anything, and of course, an incredibly talented photographer. From carrying my dress while doing outdoor photos to making sure everyone and everything was photographed, she made our day stress free. She has this amazing way of making it feel like you’ve known her forever and that you’re just hanging out with a best friend taking photos! She is so fun, energetic and the sweetest person ever! Our friends and family are still talking about how great and friendly she was! There aren’t enough words to describe how thankful and blessed we are that she was there to capture the best day of our lives.

    Incredible! The very best!

    Stacy was absolutely incredible. We took our engagement photos with her in Bismarck and she traveled all the way to SD for our wedding photos. Not only did both my husband and I think she was amazing and so helpful every step of the way, but both of our families, our friends, and bridal party all talked about how great and friendly she was and how you can tell she loves what she does. She has the SWEETEST personality, is a great leader, always told us where we needed to be and reminded us when we needed to do something if we lost track of time, and we felt so comfortable with her - every minute was easy and effortless and fun! She guided us and advised us when we needed it and I felt like I could ask her or tell her anything we wanted! She even carried my dress on our wedding day 😭💕we received our sneak peeks within days of our engagement and our wedding and loved every one. We think of Stacy as a friend and not just a vendor we hired. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is just so sweet and personable and someone we love being around. I feel so grateful to have had her to be a part of this special year, and we will absolutely be using her again to capture other special moments of our lives!

    Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

    Stacy was so wonderful to work with. She did both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures in Bismarck. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera by giving us lots of direction and also having a good time. Neither of us knew her before this and now we feel like we are friends. She not only took the role as the photographer, but was also willing to help out so things went smoothly. We had a very rainy morning and she was nothing but positive throughout the whole day! We got both our engagement photos and wedding photos back quickly after. We are so happy we chose Stacy and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We absolutely love our photos and will cherish them forever!

    ily studios's reply:

    Thank you so much Rachel for the kind words!! It was such a pleasure working your day, it didn’t feel like work at all!! You and Trenton are awesome and I’m so happy I got to capture your day!!! :)

    Can’t say enough great things!

    Where to even begin with Stacy? She was amazing to work with! Stacy made us feel like naturals behind the camera and we are so usually not! She was quick and efficient and only used half the time we had set aside for pictures and still got everything we wanted! She set up pictures so quick and moved everyone around to make sure it was the perfect picture. She made sure my dress was laid out perfectly every time and everything was centered. She would quickly check and make sure everyone’s eyes were open and they were smiling and then moved onto the next! Stacy has a ton of ideas and was open to any ideas that we brought to her. She made sure she got every picture I wanted. Not only does Stacy do pictures, she also carried my huge train around all day. She was like one of my own personal attendants because she always made sure I looked okay for the picture! She was so kind and so easy to work with. Did I mention my pictures are absolutely stunning? I am obsessed. My whole wedding party was asking her name by the end because they loved working with her too! I’m truly convinced we hired the best photographer in the state. ❤️😍

    The best ever

    Stacy was amazing to work with! She’s so flexible, fun, and creative. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed all day. She’s full of ideas and was open to any ideas we had. All of the wedding party was asking her name by the end of pictures because they loved working with her as well and wanted them for their own!

    Awesome Photographer!

    We could not have picked a better photographer! Picking a photographer for your big day is certainly nerve wrecking because you only get one chance at it! When starting my research on photographers some took 1 to 2 days to contact me back, not Stacy, she messaged me within minutes and on top of it all she was super nice. Her brochure helped us decide the right package and put my mind at ease about what to expect. When it came to scheduling our engagement photos she was super flexible with dates. Throughout the whole process Stacy was super helpful and the photos turned out amazing! Stacy was able to keep us on schedule on the wedding day. She was not afraid to lend a hand from pinning the flowers on the guys to carrying the brides dress. Her turn around time was about 2 weeks, which is super quick compared to the turnaround time by other photographers (did I mention our wedding was during wedding season). When we did receive our photos we received many of them. Did I mention she is probably the sweetest photogapher ever?! If we did it all over again we would pick Stacy with Ily Studios. I can not recommend her enough!!

    Nothing short of incredible

    I wish I could leave 10 stars on every category for Stacy.

    I have the luxury of knowing Stacy from previous work experience. She is spectacular at anything she does. Stacy is loyal, kind, talented and a dream. She listened to my ideas and made me feel so included in my photos. She knew exactly what I wanted for my wedding photos and I feel like I hardly had to tell her what exactly that was. She captured my venue so beautifully and all my wedding photos are amazing. I have never had a such a hard time picking out photos that I want to hang on my wall because they are all so dang good! My family and friends are speechless at my photos and they have gotten so many compliments. Everyone I know that is getting married in the future has wanted me to give them Stacy's contact information. She is outgoing and not afraid to position or take charge with photos, I felt so hands free from my photos on my wedding. She has such a way of capturing raw beauty.

    I had the opportunity to do a boudoir photoshoot with Stacy before the wedding. I was so nervous for this but as soon as I walked into her studio, she made me feel warm and welcomed. She was funny and polite. She made me laugh so much that I forgot I was posing nearly naked :) She gave me a profound confidence and was nothing short of spectacular. My photos came out incredible and my husband loved them even more.
    I can not recommend Stacy enough to anyone thinking of booking with her... do it. DO IT NOW. You will not be disappointed. She is the #1 best thing I did for my big day. And you also get a very, very good forever friend with her as well!!

    THANK YOU STACY!

    Wonderful to work with!

    Where do I begin on how wonderful Stacy was to work with?! If you're looking for a flexible, personable, reliable and super talented photographer, she's your girl! We had Stacy do both engagement and wedding photos for us and they turned out AMAZING! She is the sweetest person and was so easy going and made our day SO much fun. She was really organized from day one and made us feel at ease the entire day. Not only was she getting awesome photos, but she was helping me carry my dress, making sure I had everything I needed, and making us laugh all day! We feel like we have been friends with her for years. I would recommend Stacy to anyone looking for a top notch photographer. We look forward to having her take more pictures for us in the future! :)

    Amazing, Helpful, Fun

    Stacy was absolutely amazing. Not just for our engagement pictures and wedding day, but for everything in between! She made it run so smooth and helped with whatever we needed. We have received so many compliments on our pictures and our bridal party could not stop talking about how fun she was. She was so sweet, and we would without a doubt choose Stacy over and over again!

    Couldn't have asked for a better experience

    Stacy was amazing. She does great work and does it quickly and effectively. She was also very personable and made getting the right pictures easy. Her bright personality made the entire experience so enjoyable and the photos we have received have turned out flawless! We highly recommend Stacey because her work is not only good but she is someone you feel completely comfortable with. So. Much. Fun. Love her!!!
