HYBRID FILM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR FOLKS WHO RUN TOWARDS THE UNEXPECTED AND SEEK THE HONEST TRUTH. YOU'VE ARRIVED.
documentary style wedding photography
Finding each other was like rolling a critical success, and your wedding experience should be, too. no forced smiles, no faking it, no rules, and definitely no stiff timelines that limit YOUR EXPERIENCE.
Because you don’t want to forget this feeling. The entire story, full of lived in, honest images of genuine moments, that bring you right back.
SENTIMENTAL CHAOS AND
AN ABUNDANCE OF FEELING
i'm not here to "make you look like models". in fact, I aim to be exactly the opposite: a calm, supportive presence and trusted confidant who just happens to be slingin’ a lottttt of cameras and paying very close attention.
An introvert at heart and guided heavily by empathetic emotions in the whirlwind of a wedding day, I am constantly reading the room (not a shot list), and anticipating as moments unfold naturally, reaching for unconventional images when the good light or your energy inspires.
The result allows you to be fully immersed in your day, each other, and the wild, beautiful chaos that is your wedding day without pressure or performance, trusting that your day will be honestly, artfully and intentionally time capsuled, true to memory.

HEY, I’m Steph. i shoot film. When I’m not taking photos of cool people, you’ll find me adventuring in an rpg, curled up with a fantasy book, or at a neck deep show. It’s a good life.

"Steph's communication style was caring, fun, kind and thoughtful - she made the entire process easy and enjoyable. On our wedding day, Steph's energy and presence felt more like an additional friend than an obtrusive vendor. Everyone loved her infectious enthusiasm, and we even caught her singing on the dance floor! The quality of Steph's work is simply gorgeous, capturing all the emotion and joy of our special day. As a non-binary and queer couple, we felt so lucky to have Steph."
"she was the most inclusive vendor we found and is outspoken in her support for the LGBTQ community."
"Our wedding was non-traditional in many ways, full of live music, LOTS of tears, sweaty and aggressive dancing lol, and all kinds of little weird details that mattered so much to us. Somehow, Steph captured EVERY detail, all of the tears, and the quirky beauty of the day with such authenticity. You can feel every ounce of joy, love, and emotion through her lens and we will cherish the gift of Steph's magic for the rest of our lives."
“There are not enough words in the English language to articulate our love and appreciation for Steph. ”
beyond just "adding a few rolls", I'm shooting in tandem with digital coverage for a true hybrid documentation of your day. because film is integral to my process, YOUR GALLERY already INCLUDES A CURATED MULTIMEDIA MIX OF 35Mm, medium format, and super 8 motion picture film.
true Hybrid MULTI MEDIA DOCUMENTATION IN A BLEND OF FILM + DIGITAL: 35MM, 120, polaroid, super8 and 16mm
AS A PHOTOGRAPHER THAT TAKES A TRUE PHOTOJOURNALISTIC APPROACH, I focus on creating a comfortable environment where you can be yourselves. CANDID-FORWARD BUT GENTLY guiding you TOWARDS THE GOOD LIGHT WHEN it inspires, ensuring YOU CAN STAY FULLY PRESENT AND IMMERSE YOURSELVES IN YOUR CELEBRATION, while AVOIDING YOUR WEDDING day TURNING INTO A "PHOTOSHOOT". THE RESULT ENSURES a gallery as unique as you, while YOUR IMAGES genuinely reflect your connection and real memories, instead of prompted "poses".
