I'm a photographer for all people and all love. I'm here for laughing so hard you snort. I love honest and authentic love. The kind of love that fully recognizes that your partner is undoubtedly the love of your life but it's still pretty annoying when they don't do their dishes. I'm here for couples who's perfect friday night is spent tangled up in each other while watching the latest binge-worthy show. I'm here for the real and the raw.
I'm going to do everything I can to make you feel at ease. My style is journalistic. I focus on getting candid images that accurately portray your day. (Don't worry - I'll also get a couple straight on smiling shots for your mantle) However, this does mean for the majority of the day you can just enjoy your wedding and I will be there just as personal paparazzi. And then, when we do sneak off to do some more posed photographs you can enjoy the playlist I created specifically with you in mind, while I give you motion-based prompts designed to make you laugh and have a genuinely good time - that I can proceed to capture on camera.
I want to capture your day in a way that speaks to you. I am an artist with a vision, but this is your day. I want your input! Do you want a ton of pictures of your guests dancing? It's done. Do you want extra time to do lots of artistic shots of the couple? You've got it. Sneak out of the reception for a quick sunset session? Sounds great!
Feeling confident in your photographer is huge. I will do everything in my power to make sure you are feeling confident every step of the way. That starts by replying to your emails/texts/calls quickly because I would never want to keep you waiting and increase that wedding planning stress in any way. We are planning for the greatest day of your life! This is supposed to be fun!
As well, I back-up your images and then back-up my back-ups. Partway through your day (typically right around the reception time) I'll slip away and put all of your images on my laptop. So, even before I've left your wedding I have two copies of your images. Then, after I've captured your entire day, and my feet are completely exhausted, before I crawl into bed, I back your pictures up one last time on an external hard drive - there are 3 copies of your photos until date of delivery! So there is NO chance of losing the pictures from your best day.
"She went above and beyond for our wedding day. She was organized, hilarious and our photos are something we will cherish for a lifetime! She made sure we were relaxed in front of the camera, so our photos didn’t feel awkward. They were all so natural and beautiful! It’s hard to pick our favorites when they are all so perfect! We couldn’t recommend her more! If you want someone who is passionate about what they do and equally as passionate about you and what you need for your session Stephanie Victoria Photography is the best!"
Stephanie is truly AMAZING! She is so fun and lovely to be around which makes the experience just that much more enjoyable. We had a blast with her during our engagement session, and she fit right in with our family and friends on our wedding day. She caught so many memorable moments and details that I didn't even realize she captured until we went through our wedding album. She also somehow made us look like models in all of our photos which says a lot since we are not photogenic at all. I can't recommend her enough!
Stephanie was a dream to work with, helpful throughout the whole process, flexible and supportive during our big day, and delivered incredible photos. We cannot say enough positive things about Stephanie and her work!! Thank you so much!
