Stephanie
Howdy friends, I’m
I’m so glad you’re here! Let’s create an unforgettable wedding day that's all about you.
Although I hang my hat in Denver, I am #blessed to capture meaningful love stories throughout Colorado.
I’m a hugger and believer in early mornings + strong coffee. But, most of all, I’m passionate about creating intentional + inclusive wedding experiences.
GET IN TOUCH
A love like yours deserves more than just pretty pictures.
Photos are great and all but…
That’s right - I’m more than just your photographer. Together, we'll co-create a wedding experience that exceeds your wildest expectations, a day you look back on decades from now with no regrets.
How you get married matters, and I know that showing up as your truest self can leave you feeling vulnerable. As an empath, I’m committed to creating a safe and judgement-free space for you to be fully present with your heart on your sleeve. And, as your photographer, I’ll be there to document every authentic moment that unfolds along the way.
Your passions, relationships, and self-care all deserve a place in your engaged era. However, you and I both know just how difficult this can be. That’s why I’m here to guide you on your *stress-free* journey to “I do.”
You deserve a celebration.
But you know there’s a better way. That’s why you’re here, isn’t it?

You demand "more" from the wedding industry.
Hats off to you, my fearless friend.
Eager to trade 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 elopement, I was inspired by other photographers professionally pursuing their passion and recognized it was a passion that had been inside me for 15 years too.
Within 4 months of saying "I do," I was in business and awkwardly defending my choice not to take the bar exam. While I've called Denver home for nearly a decade, I love spending my free time exploring all of the wild landscapes of Colorado.
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.
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 Western sky and out of love with corporate life.
I can’t wait to meet you!
Why I Care
Let's be real
I'll let my couples tell the story.
Stephanie is the BEST! She really tries to get to know you and the type of experience you want to create and puts her all into it. She was so great communicating with everyone during our micro-wedding also, we’ve had so many guests comment how much they liked her!
- Paige + Zach
Stephanie put us at ease with her sparkling optimism, creative brainstorming, clear communication, responsiveness, and impressive organizational skills. From our first meeting with her, we knew she was our person.
- Sarah + Hunter
Besides being an incredible photographer and helping us with cues for our poses, she was also SO fun to hang out with. She was truly a cheerleader for us and our love and as a queer couple, that means the world!!! I’m so so glad we found Stephanie and if we had to, we would again choose her to photograph our mountain elopement in a heartbeat!
- Ryleigh + Laura
