Your wedding, the way it
actually feels.

Not a shot list. A record of how the day feels: the nerves before the vows, the look across the room, the last song nobody wants to end. Destination weddings, elopements and Pacific Northwest weddings, since 2008.

About

I’m Stephanie.

I photographed my first wedding in 2008. Since then the work has taken me from Paris to Indonesia, across seven countries in Central America with a camera bag on my back, and to a lot of Oregon beaches in the rain.

Couples tend to say the same two things afterwards: that I was calm, and that they forgot I was there. I read a room quickly, I do not need to be the loudest person in it, and I notice the small stuff.

When my calendar is full, a small team I have trained photographs the rest, and I edit and check every gallery before it goes out.

Common questions

Things people ask first.

How far ahead should we book?

My own dates usually book 9 to 18 months out. Team dates can often be arranged within 90 days.

Do you travel?

Yes, and most of the weddings I photograph myself are outside Oregon. US travel is included in collections photographed by me; international travel is quoted per trip.

What does it cost?

Collections photographed by me start at $7,500 for elopements and $10,000 for full wedding days. Collections photographed by my team are $3,500, $5,500 and $7,500. The full breakdown is on the investment page.

When do we see the photographs?

A small preview within a week. The full gallery within eight weeks. Albums ship within twelve weeks of your selections.

How it works

Three steps. No surprises.

Since 2008, for couples who want the real version of the day. Photographed with me, or by a small team I’ve trained and whose galleries I edit myself.

  1. 01

    Write to me

    Where, when, roughly how many people, and the one thing you most want photographed. I read every note myself and reply within two business days.

  2. 02

    We talk it through

    A call to plan the day around the light and the place. My own dates usually book 9 to 18 months out; my team can often be arranged within 90 days.

  3. 03

    The day, and after

    I photograph what happens. You get a small preview within a week, the full gallery within eight weeks, and albums within twelve weeks of your selections.
