    Salt flat elopement

    Stephanie and Nate were amazing and so fun to work with! Despite the salt flats being extraordinarily windy, they used the wind to their benefit and still captured beautiful moments and exceptional pictures! We loved working with them and Stephanie really captured the feeling of a small intimate wedding that we wanted. I cannot imagine finding anyone better to capture our wonderful day!

    Professional and Fun!

    Stephanie and her husband were the best! They truly made our celebration special capturing our amazing day! We asked to have as many photos as possible with my mom that has Alzheimer’s and she took the most beautiful photos that I will cherish forever. Both of them were kind, considerate, patient, and so funny! They made us laugh and feel comfortable! Thankful for both of them!

    P.s. our entire family said how amazing the two were. Couldn’t be more impressed with your work and the quality of photos!

    Stephanie Smith Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for such a kind review! I am so happy to hear that you love your images and that you and your wedding guests were so happy with our work and personalities! Nate and I had the most amazing time capturing your fairytale wedding and we are so grateful for the opportunity and trust in capturing such a special time in your lives! It was such an honor to capture those sweet moments between you and your Mother! The love you share is so beautiful and I am so happy I got to document that for you both!

    Worth the investment!

    My wife and I hired Stephanie for our non-trad, queer wedding. She is worth the investment!

    Stephanie is highly organized, very responsive in communications, and exudes great energy during the actual shoot. I never had to repeat a single detail to Stephanie -- anything I mentioned once she remembered!

    Many wedding vendors have a set "aesthetic" in their repertoire and they will try to guide you to fit that mold. My favorite thing about Stephanie is that she takes the time to really get to know you as a couple and incorporate your individual personalities and styles into the photos she captures for your day.

    Stephanie Smith Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your sweet review! It was such an incredible honor to get to capture your beautiful wedding day and amazing guests! I am so happy to hear that you not only love your images but also appreciate the fact that I get to know my couple's personalities individually, pay attention to detail, communicate effectively and that you appreciated our energy on the day of your wedding! It was such an honor to celebrate and capture the beauty of your special day and the love and connection that the two of you share!

    One of the best in the industry!

    Stephanie sets the stage to get the perfect shots. Many times, you don't even realize she is there. I highly recommend her for weddings and events; she is one of the best in the industry.

    Stephanie is amazing!

    My fiancé and I had the most incredible engagement photoshoot experience with Stephanie! From the moment we met her, she put us at ease and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We had so much fun during the session and walked away with huge smiles on our faces, grateful for the fun-filled afternoon we had.

    When we got our photos a couple weeks later, we realized that Stephanie's talent truly shines through in her work. The photos she captured in the beautiful garden setting with the lush foliage, cherry blossoms, and the perfectly-timed champagne pop are absolutely stunning.

    We are so excited that Stephanie will be photographing our wedding. Her ability to make us feel relaxed and capture the most magical moments is unparalleled. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer who can create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Stephanie, for an unforgettable experience!

    Stephanie Smith Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Melissa! I am so happy to hear that you and Pat had as amazing of a time as I did! It was so great meeting the two of you and capturing the love that the two of you share! You both are complete naturals in front of the camera and I am so in love with the images we created! Thank you for trusting me and choosing me to capture this incredible time in your lives! I am so excited to capture your wedding day in September!

    Highly recommend

    Stephanie and her husband really made our day even more memorable and special than it already was. We could not express our gratitude at all of the special details they noticed and perfect locations for our photos. They were unobtrusive during special moments and made sure we felt comfortable and got all of the pictures we wanted. It was very sweet to have a loving couple be the ones taking our wedding photos. Highly highly recommend :)

    Stephanie Smith Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Devoney! I am so happy to hear that we were able to add to how wonderful your day already was and capture all of those special moments! It was such an incredible honor for both of us to document such a beautiful celebration! We are so thankful to be chosen and trusted during such a special time in your lives! Congratulations again to such an incredibly beautiful couple!

    Stephanie and her husband are the best!

    We got married in the mountains and it was important to me that the scenery was equally as stunning as the people and Steph absolutely nailed it! She has such an eye for the surrounding landscape and I love how natural but beautiful she makes her subjects look. Process-wise, she couldn’t have been easier to work with. She does such a great job making you feel comfortable during the shoot and she and her husband are an absolute dream team! It’s honestly inspiring to see how well they work together. My wedding party raves about how great they were and love all of the photos we received in our sneak peek (which only took a few days to get back!). Look no further- Steph is the best!!

    Stephanie Smith Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Elle!!! Sharing your wedding day with you and your amazing family and friends was an absolute dream! I am so happy to hear how happy you were with not only working with us, but the result of your images! Your wedding was absolutely breathtaking and I am so glad that you feel that I/we captured all of those elements that made your day so special! Thank you for choosing me to capture this incredible time in your lives! I truly feel so blessed to be a part of something so special!

    She has a gift for beauty and wonder!

    She is the best! She’s a miracle worker behind the camera and with kids and families. We’ve used her MANY times and I would never choose another photographer. She has a gift and an eye for beauty and wonder. And she loves what she does and you can feel it. The whole experience before hand has always been so helpful and professional and has always made what always comes with a bit of stress, a very smooth and enjoyable experience.

    Could not have hoped for a better experience!

    We had such an amazing experience with Stephanie! I couldn’t believe how much thought and preparation she had put into our family photos. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Our kids had the freedom to be themselves and she captured who they are and who we are as a family so beautifully! We didn’t feel rushed at all and she was so complimentary, making us feel like we were doing everything right! She recommended a beautiful location that we are so happy with. We couldn’t be more pleased and happy about our experience overall, but we especially love how the photos turned out. We will treasure them forever!

    Stephanie Smith Photography's reply:

    Katie, I am so happy to hear that you and your family had such an amazing time during your sessions and that you all felt comfortable to have fun and be yourselves!

    Most Amazing and Professional Photographer!

    Stephanie really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera. Which, let’s be honest, isn’t easy for a lot of people. When you are taking engagement photos or wedding photos, you want to look your most authentic, beautiful self, and that’s exactly what Stephanie brings out in people. Her warm heart plus her amazing photography skills makes one powerhouse of a professional. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone wanting photography for any occasion! And, her specialty in weddings really shines as you can plainly see in her work. I can’t recommend her enough!

    Stephanie Smith Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kimberly! I had the most amazing time with you and your fiancé during your Engagment session and loved that you embraced the adventure to capture your magic during our winter weather advisory! I love how your images turned out and I am so grateful I was able to put you both at ease to just be your beautiful selves! I am counting down the days for your Bridals and Wedding Day!!!

    Expert Wedding Photography

    Stephanie was AMAZING! She and her husband, Nate, were so attentive during our wedding day and made sure we had all of the photos we wanted and more. They were able to capture so many organic and special moments that we did not think to ask for, you can absolutely tell they have done this before! We are so happy we had them join us for our mountain wedding, and are so thankful to have our memories captured so we can continue reliving each fun and blissful moment!

    Value + beauty

    Words cannot adequately express the incredible talent, love and care that Steph gives to her photography. She is fully invested and a guiding hand in each step leading up to your session - from the location, theme, mood, apparel, and poses that all lend to the luxurious, artistic appeal of her photos with the main focus being you and sharing your story. Her fun-loving energy immediately puts you at ease to be yourself allowing more candid images and her coaching from behind the camera creates a masterpiece of your story. Her editing skills are beyond amazing in highlighting your best features and your unique personality in every photo. She genuinely believes that every person has value and beauty and her role is to capture it so you can see it and believe it too!

    BEST Photographer Ever

    I can’t say enough good things about Stephanie! She did my wedding photos and did an amazing job of making my husband and I feel so comfortable and have a ton of fun with our photos! Stephanie has such a bubbly personality that puts you at ease on such a busy day! I loved working with her. We cried happy tears when we saw the finished result of our wedding photos. She captured the day so beautifully and I’m beyond grateful that we have those memories forever. I am adding pictures to this review so I can show just how amazing they were! We’ve hired her for multiple occasions and her work never ceases to amaze us! She is nothing short of incredible every single time. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer that puts your needs first so that you can just smile as enjoy your special day while she captures all the magic of it.
