More than pretty pictures. This is storytelling that feels like home.
I photograph small weddings, City Hall elopements, and storytelling sessions with care and calm presence. My focus is on the in-between moments—soft rituals, real joy, and honest connection.
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 photographer based in New York, creating grounded, affirming spaces for queer, BIPOC, and intentional couples. I specialize in City Hall weddings, intimate elopements, and storytelling sessions that honor your rituals, relationships, and quiet moments.
I blend 35mm film with digital photography to tell stories with feeling. Each photo reflects your wedding day not just as it looked, but as it truly felt—from start to finish.
