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.
I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create an outstanding photography experience. Stephanie is so talented, kind, and fun to work with. We had a wonderful experience and absolutely love all of the photos!

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.
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.
