Hello! Stephanie here.

Real life is messy, chaotic, and beautiful.

I want to capture that, documenting your wedding day as it organically unfolds. I use a documentary and photojournalism approach, to carefully curate an album that is uniquely you. Rather shy, I am not one to be in the forefront posing and directing, telling you to smile. Rather I quietly document, capturing the emotion and beauty of reality. Raw and unscripted, that is what makes your wedding truly yours. I want to really get to know you, so we can make sure your photos really represent YOU.

The focus of your day should be about the experience, the photos just a way to capture a memory.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

Once upon a time I was exactly where you are now–planning a wedding and looking to Offbeat Wed for help with planning and inspiration. Shy, non-religious, and quirky, I knew a big traditional wedding wasn’t for me. Years later I am now helping others with their own offbeat weddings.

• Supporting all couples – I am proud to be an inclusive wedding photographer, serving all couples.
• True-to-life – Using a documentary approach to photography, I do minimal posing, instead capturing the day as it unfolds. Additionally in my editing process, I strive to have my colors as vibrant and true to life as possible. This also applies to skin tones which I make sure are accurately reflected.
• Communication your way – As someone who struggles with social anxiety and who works odd hours, I understand not everyone can meet in person, or hop on a phone call to discuss details. I am happy to converse in whatever method works best for you!
• Flexible packages and affordable pricing – It’s really important to me that my prices be accessible and affordable. I am happy to work with you to modify a package according to your needs to help you stay within budget.
• No body shaming – With the exception of acne, I will not photoshop or make any modifications to your body in photos unless specifically requested.

Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

Highlight Image 1 First highlighted image in portfolio header. To change image, hover and click the X.	Highlight Image 2 Second highlighted image in portfolio header. To remove or change image, hover and click the X.	Highlight Image 3 Third highlighted image in portfolio header. To remove or change image, hover and click the X.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.

This is the spot to share a short client quote. The formatting of this section looks best with only a few sentences, but feel free to include a link to full reviews.

Promotions or Discounts

Everyone likes a coupon, but our readers LOVE feeling special, and like their specialness matters and gets them a deal. They especially love discounts or coupons specifically for marginalized communities or identities. If you've ever had a particular client you've wanted to work with (say, a transgender bride or a goth couple or a polyamorous triad) this is the spot to offer a discount specifically to those communities!
