Stephanie!!!"

..."we were delighted by how much of the ceremony and how many angles she was able to capture — truly a pro! 
we also enjoyed the little surprises she snuck in there of  funny moments we otherwise would have missed. The best part of all were the candids — she has a real eye for capturing people in the moment. thank you,

WE ARE MASTER PHOTOGRAPHERS, OBSESSED STORYTELLERS, DETAIL-LOVING, STUBBORN-AS-HECK, OVER-ACHIEVERS (OVER-HYPHENATORS, POSSIBLY..)
WHO OFFER A REFRESHING TAKE ON BONA FIDE, CANDID MOMENTS.

You can’t buy happiness,
but you can book us as your photographers.
 It’s kind of the same thing..

When it comes to wedding photo reviews, folks can get rather hyperbolic, but we truly feel that Stephanie is not only the best in the business but that her sense of humor, her ability to make us feel comfortable and her commitment to getting the job DONE right in such a hectic environment make her absolutely one of a kind in a crowded field.
We love Stephanie and are sure you would too.
(Our family, by the way, was blown away saying they had never seen photography as good as Stephanie's.)

Katie & Scott (& Lily)

I would have given more stars on flexibility and professionalism if I could! Stephanie did an amazing job capturing every part of the wedding, especially the ones you wish you had more time to remember while they were happening. She's also wonderfully collaborative, and I felt totally comfortable trusting her vision. Remember your day the best way possible with Stephanie to capture your memories!

Other photographers we met with before Stephanie told us they would only give us around 300 edited photos. When I asked if I would be able to see ALL of them, even if they didn't edit them, they said NO. That just shows that they were good photo editors, not good photographers.
I can't wait to work with Stephanie again in a few years for my first professional baby photo shoot.

LAUREN & ADAM

Stephanie was absolutely marvelous, I can not stress that enough! I did not want flat, one-dimensional nor very staged pictures. I wanted the unscripted emotions of the day captured. She delivered 100%. When my husband and I look at our wedding pictures (which is almost everyday) we re-live the day from beginning to end. I love it! We've shared our photos with family and they are all impressed with how Stephanie was everywhere and caught so much action. Trust Stephanie's judgement, experience and know-how. You can not go wrong with her.

Karron & Booker

Her photos look amazing beyond words can explain.. so artistic, classy, and timeless.My favorite vendor of all time, hands down.

Stephanie goes above and beyond to make your moment the very best as well as slow you down to allow you to take it all in before the chaos.

 For us, as a gay couple, it was truly important to work with someone who was professional and would allow us to be ourselves.

If you want exceptional stills that truly reflect the ineffable essence that is specific to you and your day, hire Stephanie Secrest.

I loved my photos and loved having a photographer day of, that felt more like an invited friend.
