I'm steph, have we met?
Hi! I’m Steph and I like to make art with new people. If you like photos and also happen to be people, we’re going to get along smashingly.
Wedding photography shouldn’t be a Facebook wall full of congratulations or your most liked photo on Instagram (but I mean, who are we kidding you’re getting married, you deserve it).
Real wedding photography is capturing authentic:
I BELIEVE IN big laughs AND BIGger DREAMS.
When I’m not behind a camera lens my time is best spent with my three cutie pie kiddos and my poodle. They drive me to get creative with my art, erase complacency, and put on my best impression of an absolute perfectionist with everything that I do.
AS YOU'LL NOTICE,
Hello, friend!
My influences like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Richard Avedon, and Annie Liebovitz taught me how to capture micro-bits of life, flickers of fate, and glimpses of eternal happiness without asking anybody to say “cheese”.
We can have a good ole’ business email or sit down and break bread with a glass of wine. I’m a professional but also a human. I’d love to get to know you, your person, and your love story.
Photography, much like motherhood, doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all approach.
So let's chat.
