To me, there is nothing more important than fully capturing a wedding day. For everything that it is and, making sure every single magical moment gets to be documented for you to see and reminisce on for years to come. I’m both dedicated and passionate about making this a possibility for you. I don’t see myself as just your photographer but someone to help you get your shoes on, make sure your dress is fluffed and give you the pep talk before you walk down the aisle. 

Wedding Photography

Artistically documenting every kind of love. 

Every couple and every wedding day holds its own kind of magic. I’m drawn to the thoughtful, meaningful details—the ones chosen with intention—and the moments that unfold naturally, from the quiet anticipation of a first look to the joy of barefoot dancing at the end of the night. It’s an honor to witness it all and preserve it as it truly felt.

To me, photography is more than something to share online—it’s art meant to be lived with. Your images should fill your home, be held in albums passed around the coffee table, and become part of your story for generations. My hope is that even on your 50th anniversary, you’ll look back at your photos and feel just as in love as you did the day you first saw them.

CLIENT Experience

From the first inquiry to final photos I make sure all aspects of our shoot are curated and thoughtfully planned. From the colors and fabrics of your outfits to the location of your session, to the time of day and props you bring that can elevate your photos, we will closely collaborate to make sure the session is nothing short of spectacular.

  • Reach out to me via the form on my website. I’ll get back to you within 24 hours with a questionnaire form to fill out and my package prices. From there we’ll set up a Zoom/FaceTime call to go over the questionnaire and any questions you have!

  • Once you’re ready and select a package you’d like to move forward with, I’ll send you a proposal which I require a signature and deposit to fully secure your day then you’re officially booked with me as your photographer!! I’ll then send you my Wedding Planning Guide that is exclusive to only my wedding couples that offers a bunch of tips, steps, timeline suggestions and ideas for your big day.

  • If your package offers it, we’ll set up and do your engagement session! (this typically occurs ~6 months - 1 year before the big day).

  • One month before your day I send over a detailed questionnaire that goes over all things wedding from tentative timelines, family shot list and more.

  • Within 72 hours after - keep an eye on your email for those sneak peaks! I know the anticipation of seeing those photos so I always make sure my client’s get them within two days.

  • 6-8 weeks after your big day you will be receiving your full wedding gallery! If you’re getting a wedding album, I’ll be starting the design process :)

  • Steph was invested throughout the entire process, checking in & making sure we were ready for our wedding day. She helped create our day of timeline to make sure we were able to get all the important shots. She is so flexible and willing to do anything to make sure our day was special- including adding another location for some shots which turned out SO special to us. Our photos came super quickly and are absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend Steph enough.

    Ally + Mike

  • Stephanie has been amazing throughout our engagement/wedding process. She accommodated an extra couples session and customized our wedding photography package to exactly what we wanted. Stephanie made us feel so comfortable when taking photos, taking time to understand our vibe and our relationship. We aren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera, but Steph made it so easy and fun! She was incredibly quick with the turn around of photos from our couples photo shoot, I was so impressed! She is professional, talented, and just an overall lovely person!

    Emily + Alex

  • Steph ensured that my wedding needs were met and paid close attention to detail on the wedding day. She kept our large bridal party on schedule flawlessly. Our wedding photos were stunning and she even sent a thoughtful care package after the wedding. We feel lucky to have found Steph and look forward to using her for future family photos.

Frequently Asked QUESTIONS

  • I’m intentional about the weddings I take on, choosing to work with couples who feel genuinely excited about the experience we’ll create together. I’m drawn to those who value photography not just as a checklist item, but as a meaningful part of their day—something that will preserve how it all felt.

    Each year, I thoughtfully select weddings based on my couples’ vision, connection, and appreciation for storytelling through imagery. When we’re the right fit, I’m able to pour my whole heart into your day and capture it with the care and love it deserves.

  • I deliver all of my galleries via a digital online gallery. You’ll receive this link right to your email address, it can also be shared with friends/family. All of your hi-res photos can be downloaded right from that link. There’s also a printing option via the gallery platform if you want to get your new photos printed right away!

  • I aim to deliver my photos as soon as I can! For wedding galleries, I will deliver them no later than 8 weeks. For other portraits (couple, maternity, boudoir) I aim to get them over to you within 3 weeks.

  • I got you! When you book a session with me, not only do I send you an extensive location list of places in and around the WNY area, but also an entire outfit guide with some tips & suggestions on putting together your outfits for a session.

  • You betcha I do! I absolutely love to travel especially when it involves being able to take photos at awesome new places. Send a message through my contact form and I can provide additional details on travel costs/etc.!

  • ABSOLUTELY! Creating albums is one of my favorite service offerings. The way I look at it is, photography is definitely an investment so you should take advantage of your new photos and get them printed in a beautifully curated album. I'll design everything chronologically and tell the story of the day as it unfolded, and make sure it has an artistic flare within the design.
