Hello, My Name Is Stephanie
I am an award winning destination wedding photographer splitting my time between St Petersburg, Florida and Asheville, North Carolina. Yes, from sea to mountains, I will photograph. I feel so grateful to have 15 years experience capturing life on camera.
In addition to weddings I also photograph special events, pets, and help small businesses with their content creation.
Also, meet my sunshine, Angus. He is my 4 year old golden retriever. I'm obsessed :)
Who I am
I am a full time wedding photographer and content creator. I split my time between St. Petersburg, FL and Western North Carolina. I'm an air bnb host and enjoy traveling. Huge fan of road trips. I LOVE nature, cooking, doing yoga, and hanging out with my golden retriever, Angus. This upcoming November {2023} will be my 15th year photographing weddings full time!
How I Work
I believe its important to establish a solid relationship prior to the wedding weekend so that you feel a sense of ease on "game day". My goal is to capture images as they are unfolding, rather then stage them. Sure, we have to pose a few, but mostly I prefer to capture photos that are real, and photos that you can feel. My natural disposition is laid back, so I always bring that energy coming into your big day. I believe communication and organization is key as well so I love working ahead of time with you to create a streamlined photo list and timeline in order to minimize stress.
Don't worry. I got you, now lets get married!

Corey & Kevin // Boca Grande, Florida
We can’t recommend Stephanie enough! We had our wedding at the Gasparilla Inn in Boca Grande in November, and Stephanie was incredible to work with. She had a plan from start to finish for where to take the best photos, and was so personable as well - she made the experience so fun for everyone involved. We still have guests raving about her! Thank you so much!
Eliza & Pat // Newport, RI
Stephanie is amazing to work with. Not only is she fully prepared for the big day she also is easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. Stephanie made us feel comfortable the day of in front of the camera and kept us laughing and having a great time. The photos themselves are beautiful and truly captured our amazing day. Her creativity and eye for a beautiful image shows. We absolutely loved working with her and highly recommend to all couples!
Marjory & Dan // Key Largo, Florida
We had the honor of having Stephanie as our main photographer at our Key Largo beach wedding! As with many couples, we had to postpone our original wedding date due to covid and had many unexpected changes, but Stephanie was very understanding and accommodating. Stephanie answered any questions we had that came up. When we finally met her on the day, she was extremely kind, genuine, upbeat, friendly, charming, and professional. Stephanie was with us the whole day, capturing our getting ready photos, detail shots, the ceremony, romantic sunset photos, and our favorite – our dogs. We absolutely love Stephanie’s light and airy style of photography as well as her ability to capture our two energetic dogs. Anyone who has dogs know how hard that can be, but Stephanie makes it look effortless! She has been in the industry for over a decade and her expertise really shows. If you are unsure how to pose or which angle to face, Stephanie will guide you. The thing my husband and I were most amazed by is her ability to read the sky and the clouds towards sunset. Had we followed the Google forecast of when the sunset was to set, we would have missed the vibrant colors on the horizon. But Stephanie was able to predict the changes just by looking at the sky, which was the perfect 10-15 minute window that made a huge difference. She is such a pleasure to work with and is a beautiful person inside and out. If you are looking for a reliable, experienced, and outgoing wedding photographer, we highly recommend Stephanie for your special day!
Jaime & Mike & Max & Finn // Tampa, Florida
Stephanie is a beautiful photographer. We wanted her to capture our family with our two goldens after our older one, Max, was diagnosed with cancer. Her heartfelt compassion during such a difficult time put us at ease and managed to make a very difficult time enjoyable. She is able to capture candid moments that show emotion and love, and I will cherish our photos forever. Thank you, Steph, for being so wonderful, thoughtful, and talented.
