"Partnering with Steph was the best choice we made in our wedding planning process! We wanted someone who would capture the emotion of the day and Steph completely nailed it. She gave us subtle queues when we needed and wanted them but was a very natural presence, something that is so important in those intimate moments of your wedding day. We wholeheartedly recommend Steph to all those looking for an insanely talented, professional, warm, and caring photographer!"

"We absolutely loved Steph's style, approach, thoughtfulness, and direction at every step of the process."

"I’m so grateful to have discovered her work at the very beginning of my little ones life. At our in home newborn session with our then 3-week old, Steph was beyond patient, and again so kind. As a new mom still healing, I was so anxious to see myself in these (and with a little dread) but any self doubt/image fear I had was completely shattered once I saw our gallery and I am so grateful. I love that she is the biggest advocate for printing photographs and albums. The newborn album she created for us (and hand delivered) is swoon worthy. A true treasure. 

"Steph’s work is art. Her soft, timeless, delicate, beautiful images resonate so much with me"

Steph is an absolute dream to work with. She has such a calming presence and takes care of you throughout the wedding process. Not only did she take gorgeous pictures, but she helped create our wedding day timeline, gave us amazing vendor recommendations. She was part photographer, part planner, part best friend. She was the best investment I made in my wedding, by far.

"I personally hate having my picture taken, but you made the process effortless, and most importantly, not awkward!"

"Steph was such a calming, helpful presence throughout the day of our wedding. She stayed flexible, helped make the schedule for the day, and went with the flow anytime things got crazy! The photos turned out beautiful, of course, but she is more than just a fantastic photographer. She is also incredibly sweet and easy to work with, and it was a joy and pleasure to have her photograph our wedding. Highly recommended!"
