    Absolutely Amazing

    Stefanie helped me make our wedding exactly how we wanted it. She was so helpful from day one. She was able to make sure that we were able to get all the coverage that we needed for our small wedding. From the first time talking with her it felt like we knew her for years. She was so fun shooting with with and made all our nerves go away. We had no idea where to start with our time line for the day and she was able to help us right one out. The photos turned out better than I could have ever dreamed

    Timeless photos!

    Stefanie is the BEST. For someone like myself, who feels so awkward taking posed photos, she was the perfect wedding photographer for my husband and I. She’s hilarious and when you meet her, you feel like you’ve known her for years. We were laughing and having fun the whole time and my wedding party enjoyed her as well. Stefanie will be your #1 hype woman for all of the photo taking. She does such a great job getting all of the shots you want, but also staying on schedule. Not to mention, her style of photography is timeless! I highly recommend her!!

    Best of the Best!!

    Stefanie is AMAZING! Wow! We love our engagement and wedding photos so much! And just as much, we love Stefanie. She is so kind, personable, funny, and went above and beyond to make our day special. Stefanie is so knowledgeable about posing, lighting, timing - all of it. She made our sessions so comfortable, easy, and fun. You truly get your money's worth with high quality photos and service. We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out and how much fun we had working with Stefanie. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Spallino Wedding

    I met Stefanie at my best friends wedding. I was so impressed with how well she handled the pressure of gathering everyone together when it came time for family/bride & groom photos. I decided right then and there that she was going to be my photographer for my wedding. Fast forward almost 3 years and it was go time! My wedding was on a large property with separate houses for the bridal party and groomsmen to get ready. Her timing was incredible every step of the way. I was amazed at how well she balanced going back and forth from the girls house and the boys house. The quality of our photos was incredible and she kept a good attitude the entire time. I would 100000 times recommended her!

    Stef will make your dreams photos come true!

    This review is long overdue but I want to take this time and space now to let readers know that I am forever grateful that I crossed paths with Stef because I have the most beautiful wedding photos thanks to her magic. Honestly, I was so overwhelmed with how breathtaking my photos were, I had to take breaks in between to return to my photos and stare at them once more trying to figure out which ones I wanted to print and hang or put in an album. She gave me so many options to choose from and I was so proud to share them with close friends and family. Not only is she talented and experienced in her field, she has an excellent sense of humor and was a hype woman leading up to my big day. She’s a perfectionist and shoulders enough of it so that the bride can relax and enjoy! You can absolutely trust the process with Stef and rest assured you will receive pieces better than imagined. I am so looking forward to working with her again because I would love for her to capture the rest of my life.

    The best of the best

    We loved having Stefanie to photograph our engagement and wedding! She is so fun, kind, makes you feel wonderful and is a pleasure to be around! We did our engagement shoot at the Oceano Dunes then rushed over to Avila Beach because I also wanted beach sunset pictures. She never hesitated driving to a new location and it was a fun adventure! We also did a bridal portrait (which I highly recommend) because our wedding day was going to be chaotic the day off. We met at the venue two nights before and got EVERYTHING we needed which made the wedding day less chaotic for her and also for us! Not only is she fun to be around, she is truly a genuine person and we are beyond lucky to have her to photograph our journey and our wedding g day! She takes beautiful pictures and nailed every single type of picture we wanted! We can’t say enough about our photographer! Oh, she is also best friends with our videographer, Storiestoldbyfilm so why not have the two most important vendors together considering they’ve worked hundreds of weddings together. They were the best team to make the day that much more perfect!

    Stefanie is the BEST!

    Stefanie has been our “family” photographer for several years, so it was an obvious choice to select her for our wedding. I have always been so impressed with her work; I’ve followed her IG for years, and so I knew she was the right fit for us. And our expectations were exceeded in every sense! She provided great direction, and a keen eye for detail. And it showed in every single photo. We could not be happier with the results!! I can’t wait to have our photos on display in our home for all of us to enjoy!

    Unbelievably AMAZING!!!!

    Wow, where do I even start? Stefanie is out of this world, one of the most fun, amazing and talented photographers I have ever worked with. She honestly made our wedding, all of our guests could not stop talking about how awesome she was!!! Not only is she truly an exceptional photographer, but she is funny, outgoing, friendly and just SO MUCH FUN! She easily clicked with everyone and made everyone feel so comfortable. There are no words to truly express my gratitude for knocking it out of the park!!! I cannot recommend Stefanie enough, and am so thankful she was there to capture and be a part of our big day! Stefanie ROCKS!!!!

    Stefanie is incredible. Her dedication and ability to direct a large wedding party was fantastic. Also her flexibility during the uncertainty of the pandemic decreased the stress of planning. I highly recommend her!

    Jaw dropping photos, beyond excellent direction

    It’s easy to see how amazing Stefanie’s pictures are just by taking one look at a photo but what sets her apart is her ability to make you feel so comfortable and coach you in just the right way to get that perfect angle! She is a trooper and found the absolute perfect spot for our photos ran to fix my hair, dress and veil a million times.. told me to drop my chin or relax my arm, all the details to make a good picture GREAT! She’s fun, kind and absolutely the best. I give her 10/10 every single time!! You will not be disappointed!!!!

    Couldn't have wished for better

    Stefanie could not have been better. My fiancé and I did not consider ourselves photo people, we didn't know what to do but wanted things to feel natural and effortless (lol good luck) and Stefanie made it happen. We did our engagement photos with her first and they came out so perfectly, and she was so much fun to work with we couldn't imagine anyone else shooting our actual wedding. Best call ever. The day of the wedding she was so focused on getting the pictures we wanted, and sent us previews within a few days, the rest of our photos were just as magical. I am definitely going to recommend her to everyone who ever needs a photographer!

    Book her now!

    Seriously, you need to hire Stefanie as your wedding photographer. After our wedding plans shifted due to COVID, we began our search for a wedding photographer on the Central Coast and Stefanie was recommended to us by a venue we toured. I reached out to Stefanie and she was very responsive. She called me that same day and I knew immediately after talking to her that I wanted to hire her. She was so friendly and I instantly felt comfortable with her, even on the phone. We booked her shortly after and are SO happy that we did. She arrived at the venue early and was so personable and I felt like I had known her for years. She really listened to anything we wanted pictures of but was also a huge help in keeping things running smoothly. We had so so much fun during our bride and groom photos - normally I feel super awkward taking photos but with Stefanie, you'll feel so comfortable. She sent preview photos shortly after the wedding and they were STUNNING. She gave us our gallery quickly and I can't get over how gorgeous the pictures are. They are beyond anything I could've imagined, it's hard to pick a favorite one. You seriously have to book her, you will be so happy you did!

    a DREAM from start to finish

    oh my goodness, where do we even start. let me be real and say I am a fellow wedding photographer, so I was EXTRA picky about who we chose to be ours. I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to wedding vendors and I was in no way choosing anyone but the best.
    Not only is Stef an incredibly talented photographer, but she has a stellar personality. Spoiler: you're gonna spend your entire wedding day with your photographer, so pick someone you're gonna have a good time with. Stef is one of those people who can literally get along with every person on the planet, and she is a freakin PARTY of a human, so boom, press that inquire button, you have your photographer.
    She handled the weirdness of COVID season like an absolute CHAMP, especially in the midst of planning her own wedding in this awful stressful time. She was a friend to us our entire engagement, and then on the wedding day she went into professional (still super fun) Stef mode and just wowed everyone.
    This woman has an eye for detail (seriously if you like detail shots hire her already), will be your number one hype woman, and makes sure every weird family dynamic, tradition, whatever is respected so so so professionally. She even deals with crazy venue managers like a BOSS LADY!
    We received our gallery so quickly and were just blown away by the volume of diverse content we received from our day. Wedding days are a BLUR, and we are so grateful we chose a photographer with such an eye for detail to help us reminisce on the little moments we forgot for years to come.
    If you're reading this, INQUIRE AND BOOK STEFANIE! you will not regret it.

    More perfect that I could imagine.

    Stefanie is just incredible. She is professional, and funny and so personable. She captures the most beautiful moments you wouldn't think matter, but when you view your pictures later it really brings out her creativity and art. She has amazing communication skills and gives direction very easily, I would recommend her to anyone!! Stefanie made us feel like movie stars on our wedding day, and I'm beyond happy she was the one we chose to capture it all. She made it easy and stress free, and I know this isn't the last time we'll be using her services! Anniversaries, maternity shoots, holidays.... I would hire her for every occasion! (you're the best, Stefanie!! )

    Where do I begin....Stefanie is such an amazing photographer!!! We are more than happy with our engagement/wedding pictures. We have gotten so many compliments. I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us leading up to and on our big day. She is so down to earth and so easy to get along with. All around a genuine person! She is so passionate about her work and it really shows in the pictures! Not only did Stef capture amazing moments she also helped coordinate on the day of the wedding. She made sure everything went as smooth as possible (a brides dream). She is a photographer/day-of-coordinator in one! I would highly recommend booking with Stefanie! You will not regret it.

    Stefanie is a true professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! We never met Stef before the big day but it didn't matter one bit. She helped us plan out our day-of schedule and walked us through basically everything for our wedding. She was a calming, yet fun and enthusiastic presence on the day and I couldn't have asked for anything more. And not to mention our pictures turned out absolutely beautifully! Trust her expertise and you will not be disappointed! Thanks Stef!

    We can't say enough great things about Stefanie. She was able to work with us on timing because we were planning our wedding so last minute. We found her on social media and fell in love with her work and then a friend actually recommended her. She totally understood our vision. We spent time on the phone and in meetings explaining what we liked and wanted and she totally got us. We LOVE our wedding pictures and so do the rest of our family and friends. She is so genuine, sweet and accommodating. Parts of our wedding were sort of chaotic but she was calm, cool, and collected and made family pictures fast and easy. Our wedding guests loved her and so did we. We already have our pictures framed in our house and we will definitely be framing more! We are so glad we chose Stefanie to photograph our wedding. We could not be happier with our wedding pictures.
