More than pretty pictures. This is storytelling that feels like home.
I document intimate weddings, city hall elopements and couple storytelling sessions with care, calm, and a quiet eye—capturing the in-between moments, soft rituals, and real joy.
Photography as resistance.
As memory.
As tenderness.
“When we were looking for a wedding photographer, Stef's documentary-style approach and use of film made her stand out. She was so fun and easy to work with! She really got to know us as a couple and helped us plan out all of the photography-related details for our engagement shoot and wedding day. On the day, she captured so many little moments that would have gone unnoticed by a lesser photographer. Would highly recommend Stef to anyone looking for stylistically unique wedding photography. 10 out of 10.”

“We've never had our picture professionally taken before but she was able to get us to be ourselves and captured our personalities! It was also such a relief to work with someone who has experiencing photographing people with different skin colors. We got our sneak preview pictures that day and we LOVED them! They were perfect. They felt like us and really captured who we are individually and as a couple.”

Hi, I’m Stef—
I’m a documentary-style wedding and elopement photographer creating grounded, affirming spaces for queer, BIPOC, and intentional couples. Based in New York City, I specialize in City Hall weddings, intimate elopements, and storytelling sessions that honor your rituals, relationships, and in-between moments.
Blending 35mm film and digital, I approach every story with an artist’s eye and a deep respect for memory—so that your photos reflect not just how things looked,
but how they felt.

We are beyond happy with how the photos captured the day's emotions. There was nothing staged or forced; she beautifully captured moments organically.

Her warmth, professionalism, and keen eye for detail made them a true partner throughout the entire wedding planning process. We could not recommend Stef more highly to any couple looking for a photographer who will truly do justice to your love story.
