Although I hang my hat in Denver, I am #blessed to capture meaningful love stories throughout the West and Southwest.
I’m a hugger and believer in early mornings + strong coffee. But, most of all, I’m passionate about creating fun, inclusive wedding experiences.
From start to finish, Stephanie was wonderful to work with. My partner and I felt an immediate sense of comfort upon meeting her. We could tell she's passionate about her work, and determined to give her clients the best experience possible.

Still, determined not to break the mold, I began my career as an engineer – a job that led me to fall in love with the desert sky and out of love with corporate life.
Eager to trade in the fluorescent lights for a sense of purpose, I followed my fervor for climate justice and civil rights to law school, when I finally had my “a-ha” moment.
Planning my own microwedding, I saw other photographers living their passion as entrepreneurs, and I knew I could too. It was a passion that had been inside me for 15 years.
Within 4 months of saying "I do," I was in business and awkwardly defending my choice not to take the bar exam. While I call Denver home, I love to travel across the wild landscapes of the American West and Southwest.
I’ve asked you to be your truest self, and I suppose we’re at that point in our relationship where I ought to do the same. Did I always know I wanted to be a photographer? Heck no … But I do know when my “a-ha” moment should have been.
In 2005, my family filled our car with endless crates of family photos my dad and I had taken. Hurricane Katrina was about to make landfall over my hometown of New Orleans.
It was probably then that I should have realized how irreplaceable our treasured photos were and how much I wanted to help you preserve your memories too.
Celebrate as your truest self!
