As a near decade’s long Coloradan, I simply can’t wait to share with you the people, places, and experiences that make this state so special.
I eloped while in law school, leading me to realize how demanding wedding planning can be while juggling a full schedule. This experience ignited my passion for creating stress-free wedding days that exceed your wildest expectations.
From location ideas to personalized vendor recommendations and permits to timelines, I’ll take care of the logistics so you can celebrate care-free.

5-star reviews from my happy couples
"the best decision"
"Planning a wedding from another state was daunting, but Stephanie put us at ease. From our first meeting with her, we knew she was our person.
Stephanie helped us find our ceremony location, reception venue, and my hair and makeup artist. She even went the extra mile to contact and research vendors to make sure they were a good fit for our party and budget size. From that moment, we began planning with renewed excitement for our big day, envisioning something small, intimate, and personalized with our families.
Booking Stephanie was the best decision we could have ever made for our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a more magical day. "
- Sarah + Hunter
"perfect"
"Booking Stephanie to be our wedding photographer was hands down one of the best choices we made for our wedding. She is creative and responsive and made an overwhelming event feel less scary. Neither my husband nor I are great at photos and she coached us through it all. She created a wedding timeline for us that was unique and allowed us to spend the day together in a beautiful location she scouted for us before the ceremony. It was perfect; the photos are incredible and I would book her again in a heartbeat. Do yourself a favor for your wedding and hire her!!!!"

"went the extra mile"
"After getting engaged, my partner and I struggled to decide on our perfect wedding day. While on TikTok, we came across one of Stephanie’s videos about micro-weddings in Colorado. After seeing her gorgeous photos and the intimacy of the locations, it immediately got us excited.
From our first meeting with Stephanie we felt comfortable and supported in making the day what we wanted. She was super responsive and even went the extra mile to scout out a variety of locations that could accommodate our party size and our budget. Her knowledge of Colorado locations, vendors, and marriage licenses was a great help as we planned our wedding from out of state.
The day of the wedding, Stephanie was super friendly and easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave us a space to be ourselves. The next day we got our sneak peeks and were blown away at how beautifully Stephanie captured our day!"
- Cassie + Haley
"a knowledgeable guide"
"Stephanie was the best choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, she took the time to get to know us, as well as our wedding day vision and priorities. Not only is she a creative, but she is also a knowledgeable guide in the photography process - we learned so much from her! She was organized and enthusiastic throughout our entire wedding day. She certainly made our day that much more special with memories we will cherish for years to come. Additionally, she was excellent to communicate and plan with as she is very organized and consistent. It is with great pleasure that I recommend Stephanie Yves Photography for wedding and couples photography - you will not regret it!"

FAQ'S
Your most asked questions answered...
Most couples book between 4 and 12 months ahead of time. However, it’s always best to book as early as possible, especially if you have a specific date in mind or are planning your wedding for a popular summer or fall date. Not only does booking early ensure you secure your preferred date, but it also allows you to take full advantage of my customized planning services.
No worries! Few couples who inquire with me know their date or location. As we start planning together, I'll guide you to a date that aligns with your needs and a location that aligns with your vision. If you can dream it, we can create it.
Although most couples book 6-10 hours, the amount of photography you need for your one-of-a-kind day will depend on what locations and activities you want to include in your wedding day. As we plan together, you are always free to add additional hours to ensure that your wedding day remains unrushed and that no moment goes undocumented.
During your free consult, we will discuss your plans more specifically so that I can answer this question based on your unique needs and desires.
I’ve got you, friend. I know that being in front of the camera can be a vulnerable experience, which is why I’ll be there to ground you and guide you throughout your wedding day.
But, truth be told, how your photos look has nothing to do with your experience in front of the camera and everything to do with being yourself. For the best photos, show up as your truest self and don’t be afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve. You're worthy of unforgettable photos exactly as you are.
Nope! Colorado has no shortage of hike-free and even ADA-accessible locations for your ceremony. While hiking to a more remote location generally offers greater privacy, you can also avoid the crowds by planning a weekday or early morning ceremony.
