I'm Stephanie, a Long Island based photographer, specializing in intimate, non-traditional events for souls wildly in love with life and with each other. 

If you've found yourself here, that means you're lucky enough to be in love or to be loved -- and what a beautiful thing that is to behold and celebrate. 

I’ve been snapping photos for nearly two decades, falling in love with this art form from an early age. My passion grew even deeper when I discovered shooting and processing film, which sharpened my eye for documenting both the visible and the subtle, often overlooked details. 

This business is a true extension of who I am, and I approach everything with care and connection. I take the time to get to know my couples deeply, immersing myself in your story as individuals and as a pair. By fostering trust and understanding, I aim to provide an elevated and seamless experience that feels enjoyable and stress-free for everyone. From the moment your inquiry lands in my inbox to the day you view your gallery together, my goal is to make you feel seen, valued, and warmly embraced.
 

imagery that endures

As a child, I would often lose myself in the pages of old photo albums and family scrapbooks, pouring over and sifting through stuffed boxes full of memories that seemed to whisper stories of love, laughter and time well spent. Each image held a world within it, a moment suspended in time and rich with emotion. Quite simply, it felt like pure magic. I suppose this is why I love being a wedding photographer. I have the superpower of freezing time and creating lasting family heirlooms that will be passed on and enjoyed for generations to come.

To me, capturing your wedding is about more than just documenting an event—it's about capturing the essence of who you are, both together and as individuals, your blending families and the joy and magic that surrounds you. The way your eyes light up when you see each other, the gentle way you hold hands, the unspoken promises exchanged in a single glance and the most intricate details of your special day. These are the moments that define your love story, and they deserve to be remembered in their purest, most heartfelt form. My goal is to create a timeless collection of images that not only document your day but also preserve the essence of your love, allowing you to relive those precious memories over and over again.

A good meal and good friends make my heart swell. 
When I'm not working, I can be found spending quality time with family, friends and my cats, El and Zeus.

Long Island is where I call home, but the travel bug is something I caught early on. I'll travel wherever your love grows.
