Hi! I’m

Stephanie

I’ve spent eighteen years learning that to truly document a legacy, you have to understand the heart of one. My life is a beautiful balance: documenting world-class celebrations by day and navigating life as a mother of four by night. Both roles have taught me the same thing—how to find the quiet, soulful moments in the middle of the grandest noise. Whether I’m navigating the logistics of a multi-day, 400-guest event or witnessing the intimacy of a courthouse union, I bring the composure of a veteran and the heart of a mother to every story I tell. I’m not just here to take your photos; I’m here to preserve your history with the same intentionality I give my own.

Architect of Light

I don’t just read light, I see it. And if I don’t find light, I will create it. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience, I use light as a tool of artistry to elevate the natural beauty of your day. My mastery of off-camera lighting ensures that even in the most complex venues, your story is told with a refined, editorial brilliance that 'natural light' alone cannot achieve

I believe that love is the ultimate art form—one that should never be filtered or confined. To me, inclusivity is not a standard to be met; it is the very soul of my work. Every couple deserves more than just to be seen—they deserve to be celebrated within a space that is profoundly safe and intentionally curated.

My for inclusivity
