Meet Stephanie

Capturing love stories full time since 2016

My purpose as a wedding photographer is simple: it’s about the people. I thrive on capturing the moments, emotions, and memories that make your wedding day unforgettable. It’s not just about creating beautiful photos, but about telling your story, celebrating your love, and ensuring you feel seen and heard throughout the day.

My purpose is to capture the raw, authentic moments of your wedding day, preserving every emotion, detail, and fleeting memory so you can relive the joy of your celebration forever.

My journey into photography wasn’t typical, but it led me to where I am today. It all started in 8th grade during a trip to Alaska when I fell in love with capturing moments. After an ACL injury in high school, I picked up a camera for the first time, and in 2011, I photographed my first wedding. Fast forward to today, with over 150 weddings under my belt, I’m grateful to spend my weekends capturing the brightest, most meaningful days of couples’ lives. It’s an honor to be part of your story.

"The photos exceeded our expectations!"

"Stephanie was absolutely incredible! Before the wedding, she was always responsive, communicative, and worked seamlessly with our coordinator and anyone we needed. Once in California, she beautifully captured our welcome event. On our 100-degree wedding day, she was punctual, efficient, and didn’t miss a moment. The photos exceeded our expectations, and her professionalism and talent amazed us. Thank you, Stephanie!
