WEDDING DOCUMENTATION IN CANDID, ARTFUL, ANALOG SPLENDOR WITH AN INTROVERT-MINDED APPROACH. NO FORCED SMILES, NO RULES, NO FAKING IT. YOU CAN BE YOURSELF HERE.
WEDDINGS HAVE A REPUTATION OF REQUIRING CURATED, PERFECTED "TIMELESS-NESS", BUT HERE'S THE SECRET: WHAT'S REAL IS WHAT stands the test of time, THESE IMAGES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A TIME CAPSULE. your wedding day can be uniquely your's without ever having to perform for a single minute.
SO don't let all the noise DEFINE YOU: dismantle their expectations. chaos over perfection, because this is where the REAL good stuff lives. yOU IN?
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT LIFE IS THAT IT'S NOT PERFECT.
No matter who you love, where you come from, or what you look like, who you are is welcomed and celebrated here. There’s no judgement, regardless of your wedding plans, decor or theme (plz let it be LOTR), or your Mario Kart playing ability (okay, I might judge you on this one, a little). Everyone has a story worth telling.
"I can't even begin to tell you how incredible these photos are and how much they mean to us already. We will cherish all of these (and the video!) forever. Thank you STEPH for feeling out what was important to us and communicating it through these photos, and capturing so beautifully how we love each other and our loved ones. Thank you so so much."
"It is not an exaggeration to say she was better than we ever could have even imagined. Steph was the perfect balance of task master and grace, getting all the shots we wanted without being in the way."
"We had a non-traditional wedding in many ways and as we looked for a photographer we saw a lot of websites that said 'not your typical wedding photographer' even tho their work looked pretty typical (no shade just not our vibe). We immediately loved Steph's style when looking at her portfolio butit was her approach and ease in our planning conversations confirmed that she was our person."
We are not your typical “pose for the camera” kind of people and we knew we wanted a more organic, documentary approach, And oh, did Steph understand the assignment. At no point did we feel rushed, uncomfortable or awkward.
"we wanted a photographer who would understand a bit more of an alternative point of view and she got the essence perfectly."
(SHE/HER)
You deserve to start this next chapter with more than pre-written-by-society expectations. No pressure, no performative bullshit—just quiet moments, deep feelings, and the kind of photos that feel like you. I’ll be your weird-haired, calming and supportive presence slingin’ a lotttttt of cameras, helping you throw the middle finger to anything that doesn’t feel just right, so you can spend more time actually experiencing this day rather than running through a checklist of societal to-do’s. Take a deep breath, because this is what I do, friend.
You’ve spent hours looking for a wedding photographer who understands that weddings aren’t about perfect "content"—they’re about people. And OUR people? They haven’t always fit in everywhere. And I love that about us.
in true lived in chaos, film embraces imperfection in a way that is simply human and honest. the real light of your day, tangibly burned into your negatives. it can't be replicated, just like you, and MY CORE BELIEF IS THAT film honors this TO the full gravity required. that's why it's integral to my process, and never an add on.
