    Stephanie is Amazing!!!!

    Stephanie was hands down one of the best vendor decisions we made for our big day!! From our first meeting to the engagement shoot to our wedding day, she was such a fun and energetic addition to our wedding team! My husband and I are both not the most comfortable people in front of a camera, and Stephanie’s charm and friendly personality were able to help us relax and have fun with the entire process, which gave us some beautiful photos. She was able to offer us countless suggestions for locations for both the engagement photos and the wedding day photos, and we had complete trust in her that she could take the lead on layouts and poses and she did not disappoint!! My family is all so excited to see our wedding photos, as we know the quality of the images that Stephanie can produce is wonderful! I am looking forward to using Stephanie in the future to capture photos of my family!

    Highly Recommended

    Stephanie was patient, pleasant, professional, and made sure we were completely comfortable for our wedding. She was great while people wrangling for pictures, and very easy to work with. We highly recommend her.

    Stephanie did such an wonderful job on our photos! Our pictures look phenomenal; everyone keeps commenting on how gorgeous they are, and I am so happy with all of them. I'm very glad we went with her--she's super easy to work with, very budget-friendly, and an absolutely amazing photographer!!

    To all brides (and anyone else) in the market for a photographer: book her immediately!

    Fun and Talented!

    Stephanie was beyond fun to work with! There is nothing more my husband despises than having his photo taken, but from their first meeting at the engagement session, Stephanie got him ignoring the camera and captured some incredible shots that showcases our personalities. We chose to use her second shooter and videography team as well, which did not disappoint--even surprising us with a drone!

    The BEST photographer in the industry!

    Stephanie is the most professional, dedicated and talented photographer I have ever known and worked with. Stephanie is very organized, does whatever you need to make your photos come to life and goes with the flow. For example, at my wedding yesterday, there was a LOT of wind and Stephanie managed to find great shots by angling the photos to go with the wind patterns to make my wife's veil go seamlessly with the weather and capture great moments! Stephanie is consistently focused on making sure the photos are exactly what you imagined and then taking that vision and making it even better. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and knew that once we booked her there wouldn't be anything (photographer wise) I would need to worry about. Stephanie went above and beyond my expectations and truly made this experience enjoyable and one to remember! I recommend Stephanie to EVERY couple looking for a photographer for your special day!

    Wonderful experience, beginning to end

    Stephanie was so flexible, fun and easy to work with. We booked her just a few weeks before our micro wedding and she stepped in like a pro. We started the ceremony late, and with her help we got all the photos I wanted in before she had to leave to her next event. Highly recommend!

    Greatest photographer!!

    Stephanie is absolutely wonderful!! From the start she was extremely helpful with the planning process. She offered vendor options when we were stuck and was there to lend an ear when we had to postpone our reception! We were so grateful she was able to capture both our small ceremony in May and our big reception in July! We already have all the digital photos from May which are gorgeous! And the sneak peek from July which follow suit. She is fun and professional and not intrusive at all. We didn't even know she was there during the ceremony! Such a nice change of pace from some photographers I've seen at weddings. We got to know her even more having her twice and I can't say enough good things about her! You won't be disappointed booking with Stephanie for your wedding or really anything! We will definitely utilize her skills in the future! Thank you for capturing both of our days so beautifully!

    Fantastic Photographer

    Stephanie is such a wonderful photographer! Not only did she capture our wedding perfectly, but she thought of things I didn't. She even helped us find the best way to capture group pictures in the midst of COVID-19 precautions!

    Seamless process; beautiful photos; enjoyable experience

    My wife and I got married during the early days of COVID when everything was particularly chaotic, and Stephanie was a brilliant photographer who we view as a miraculous find.

    Photos/Results: Stephanie got great photos of our wedding. She took a LOT of photos, and when she sent them to us she also selected some of her favorites; we've looked through all of them and generally our favorites are in that subset as well. To me, that is an indicator of her knack for understanding and capturing relationships and special moments, in addition to having an artistic eye.

    Working with Stephanie: Working with Stephanie was great. It was easy to plan and coordinate with her, even during a lot of uncertainty with COVID. She was very flexible and worked with us to build a plan for our wedding day, It was easy to communicate clearly with her, and she 'got' our desired look and feel.

    Day-of Process: We had a very small ceremony, and Stephanie was an enjoyable addition to our wedding; she got lovely photos throughout, and was able to adapt, give direction very pleasantly, get great candids, take great staged photos, and generally interact really well with the wedding party.

    TL;DR, Stephanie was great, we enjoyed working with her, and we are very happy with our photos.

    She’s a rockstar! An invaluable assest to your wedding team

    We love her so much! She made the day so much more special. She even turned half wedding coordinator our wedding day when things didn't go quite right, encouraging breaks for the special couple and refocusing on us. She is invaluable. You won’t regret your decision to work with her.. she’s down to earth and professional! Our engagement session was awesome. She was flexible and didn’t hate us for bringing our dog scooter ( he’s a little rowdy).. all pictures have been amazing thus far!

    Fun, sweet and responsible!

    Stephanie is so sweet! From the first time we met, I knew she would be the one :) she’s very easy going, works with what you envision and adds great ideas to your special day. She is not only an amazing photographer, she will also listen to you on a personal level, helps and recommends vendors and in general is such an amazing human being. My family, bridesmaids and friends loved her and her professionalism.

    Perfect! Stephanie is absolutely amazing! Couldn’t be happier

    I’ve had the pleasure of watching Stephanie’s career grow over the past 10 plus years and finally had the opportunity to hire her for our wedding and couldn’t be more pleased with her work! The way she captures the moment is exactly what every bride desires on their wedding day! She brings a positive energy and passion to capture the love surrounding your day! She’s the only photographer I want for all my photos.

    Absolutely amazing

    Our first vendor (other than venue) that we wanted to tackle during our planning was our photographer because that is what creates the memories. We spoke to several on the phone prior to meeting in person, but we only interviewed one photographer in person, and that was Stephanie. IMMEDIATELY after our 3 hour meeting over coffee (something her and my wife share a passion for) we cancelled all other meetings we had without hesitation and hired Stephanie. And we did not regret it.

    Between our engagement shoot and our wedding day her preparation, professionalism and work ethic were unmatched. I'm a guy that DREADS pictures especially posed ones and she made the experience fun and gave us exactly what we desired. I literally could type pages on our experience but simply..

    IF she is available the day of your wedding or any other event you want memories saved for ever Hire HER!.

    The Freed wedding

    Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She captured our wedding in the most perfect way! She also was so flexible in what we wanted and helped us when we weren’t sure what we wanted to do! She is so awesome she became like family to us! We will definitely be using her for future photo shoots!

    Stunning photographs and incredibly personable

    Stephanie was wonderful to work with. She is professional, punctual, and extremely easy to get along with. She was able to make my husband smile/laugh for photos and was genuinely fun to have around. Not only is she talented (hence the gorgeous photographs), she is also someone you can easily spend time with (which is extremely important considering your photographer is with you the entire day). Would absolutely recommend her for weddings/engagements and I look forward to using her again in the future for family portraits!

    Wonderful Wedding Photos!

    Stephanie did an amazing job photographing my husband and I’s wedding in October 2018! She did an excellent job taking photos during the day of the wedding and created a lovely photo book displaying our favorite pictures! I highly recommend Stephanie to brides in the VA/MD area!

    Do not look further for your photographer!

    Stephanie is so sweet, caring, and easy going! She is able and excited to do any pictures that you want! What I loved most was the day after our wedding, many people texted us and said “your photographer was so amazing and so friendly to us” they had even more great things to say once they saw our photos! I have been to so many weddings where the photographers order the bridal party and family around, but not Stephanie! I felt like Stephanie was a part of my group of ladies! She was so fun and she captured every moment perfectly without making anything stressful. She also captured EVERY SINGLE TINY DETAIL... this is so important because you won’t remember them! I looked back at the photos and had no idea that my tables and decorations looked that good until I saw her photos and I’m so thankful I had those. She was so calm and reassuring.. even when it looked like our wedding was going to get flooded out! She also has great connections and worked well with all of our vendors! She’s very flexible, always on time, and professional. I enjoyed our coffee dates and I felt like a friend and not a customer. She will always be our first call when we want to do a photo shoot!

    Stop looking for a photographer because you've just found a fantastic one. I labored over choosing a photographer for my wedding. I chose not to be picky about a lot of things, but the photographer wasn't one of those. I found a lot of pictures to be too edited or too styled or too cliche. Stephanie's pictures are none of those things. She is truly talented. Plus she has exactly the kind of personality you want in a wedding photographer. She's super fun and knows how to make you laugh. She willingly met with me at least twice before the wedding to meet and finalize details. And she even set up a coffee date when it was time to deliver the USB with all my wedding photos (which came in an awesome gift box that included coffee beans she roasted herself!). Choose Stephanie! You won't regret it.

    When you get a photographer, you need someone you're comfortable with since you'll be hanging out with them all day. Stephanie has incredible photography skills, an awesome personality, and tons of wedding knowledge on tiny details you don't realize you need to know! Throughout the planning process, she helped take my vision for photos and turn it into something beautiful. She worked with my scheduled, gave advice when I felt indecisive, corralled our wedding party so they didn't wander off, told us how to cut the cake (we thought we knew!), and took jokes about our rival colleges like a champ. Her presence only enhanced our big day and I couldn't imagine having anyone else. Some photographers gave us lower quotes, but after seeing her portfolio and having our first meeting, we knew she was perfect. If you want your wedding photos to be perfect and on time, to not stress about photography, to have someone quietly capture the best parts of your wedding like a photo ninja, and to invite the coolest photographer to your wedding, absolutely book Stephanie!

    Stephanie was a great addition to our wedding! She is so easy to work with, and the pictures we have seen so far (we just got married a week ago) are absolutely beautiful. She did our engagement photos also and we were very pleased with those. She is professional but also laid back and friendly. Her prices are tough to beat in our area, especially with the level of talent she brings! We definitely recommend her! -Joanna & Johnny

    Stephanie was A-MAZING!!! She was willing to work with me on anything that I wanted or needed and we met several times before the big day...and had conversations that lasted well over two hours (she is wonderful company!). She was awesome with coordinating pictures with my family and with large groups of people (we had invited 350, and 250-275 is what came so she was awesome with keeping everyone focused during time sensitive areas). Her editing does take about 8 weeks, so it was a little hard to wait, but it was totally worth it!! Good things cannot be rushed. Your wedding pictures are the only thing you have to remember your special day by. It comes and goes in a whirlwind, and you'll be wishing you had spent more money on a quality photographer in the hopes that they captured everything you wanted them to. When I got all my pictures back, I was so pleased with them and was even more happy when I realized she took pictures of things that were really important, but that had slipped my mind! She thought of everything. Choose her!
