welcome
Hi! I'm Stefani and I specialize in luxury wedding and engagement photography. My specialty is in vibrant, authentic and creative images that truly capture my client's unique relationship. I am passionate about delivering an unparalleled and fun experience, sending my couples home with heirloom wall art to enjoy for generations to come. I have documented well over 100 weddings and have been featured in both print and online blogs and magazines.
Throughout my 5+ years of shooting weddings I have heard numerous horror stories and complaints from couples that have had bad experiences, in one way or another, with their photographers. The most common complaint being: "We booked a photographer and after our engagement session we realized we just weren't a good fit for each other. But now we're stuck in a contract with them." Or worse yet: "We booked a photographer and then they ghosted us." I have always empathized with these sweet couples, because your photography is not something you want to be unhappy with on your wedding day!
After hearing one too many stories like this, I finally decided to create a system that allows us to work together, stress-free, so that when you do decide to book your wedding photographer you are 100% confident in your decision.
This opportunity is great for couples who truly value an incredible photography experience, from start to finish, but are hesitant to dive into hiring a photographer they've never met, let alone worked with before.
I am proud to say that 90% of brides who have experienced a session with me, have also booked me for their wedding. The difference being, they know from first-hand experience what it will be like to work with me and they KNOW they won't be disappointed on their wedding day!
If this sounds like an opportunity you would be interested in, please enter your information here and I'll be in touch soon!
"Are you looking for an excellent photographer who:
- takes great pride in their work
- effectively communicates and suggests different poses, angles, and areas that you wouldn't have thought of yourself
- will go the extra mile to, not only capture your wedding, but capture your beautiful family, friends and guests
- is incredibly understanding, flexible, and an all-around team player
THEN YOUR ETERNAL SEARCH IS OVER!! LOOK NO FURTHER.
Seriously, she's the best. My wife and I can't speak any higher about Stefani... she also wasn't like your other shameless vendors who beg and solicit for Yelp reviews in return for deals. This review is solely because I can't stop raving about how great Stefani was/is/will be."

"Stefani is a top-notch photographer by every measure. Not only does she have a deep understanding of lighting and composition... but Stefani is also personable and truly cares about capturing the essence of the relationship.
My fiancée and I chose Stefani for our engagement session at Malibu. We were specifically looking for bright, energetic, and vibrant photos, which is exactly Stefani's style. Even though I am not a fan of taking photos, I had an absolute blast during the entire session. The photos turned out beautifully (way better than I had anticipated), and equally importantly, the entire shoot felt fun and natural. The four hour session flew by, and there was not a minute of boredom or tension.
The cherry on top is that our photos were delivered within a week. Bottom line is that Stefani is a fantastic photographer who under-promises and over-delivers. We would choose Stefani again for any future shoots and so should you."

"This girl is all around amazing! Stefani is an absolute sweetheart and she's got a great personality. She really gets to know you as a couple as best she can before the shoot which made it feel more like our friend was taking our photos. We even went out to grab dinner after our shoot.
During our engagement session she had us cracking up laughing which made the time fly by. I'm in love with the shots she captured and cannot wait for the wedding photos. Her attention to detail is one of the things that I love most and she just has the eye to capture the perfect moments.
She goes above and beyond to make everything special. Thank you, Stefani!"

the process
My photography style is vibrant and authentic, but with an editorial-flare. I focus on documenting YOU - who you are, what you enjoy together, the little quirks that make your relationship unique - while also making sure you look your very best.
The very first step to planning your engagement experience is to schedule a phone call to get to know you. This is a 20-minute meet & greet so that I can learn more about what your visions are for your photography. After we chat on the phone I will follow up with you in an email and send over my available dates for the shoot along with a couple questionnaires to help customize your session even further. You will also receive further information that will walk you through choosing your outfits and prepping for your session!
During the session, I will work with you to make sure you feel as laid back and as comfortable as possible. Think of it as the two of you hanging out together, laughing, playing and loving on each other. And I'm there in the background, documenting it all.
After the session, we will schedule an online video meeting to go over your images, pick out your free goodies, as well as answer any other questions you might have about wedding packages. You will be offered the opportunity to purchase any additional products or digitals from your session, if interested, with a special 10% discount. And when you choose me for your wedding, you will also receive 10% off your entire wedding package!
