Behind the Lens:HOW I CAPTURE THE HEART
OF YOUR WEDDING DAY
I’m Stef, an NY-based photographer who captures the beauty of intimate ceremonies, micro weddings, and city hall elopements. I’m so glad you’re here. Every love story is unique, and my mission is to help you tell yours—authentically, joyfully, and with a timeless touch.
As you plan this sweet new chapter, I hope you’ll find in me not just a photographer but a trusted person who sees you and appreciated you for how you show up.

MY VALUES & APPROACH
What I truly care about
Safety: Everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and celebrated. I create a space where your story can unfold authentically and honorably, always valuing mutual respect.
Inclusiveness: As a queer-affirming, BIPOC-inclusive creative, I believe every love story deserves to be told with intention and care. Whoever you are, however you love—your story matters here.
Presence: Weddings are about connection, not perfection. I bring a calm, steady presence to your day, ensuring the focus stays on your love and the meaningful moments that make it unique.
Trust: Trusting someone with your story is a leap of faith. I honor that trust by approaching my work with professionalism, artistry, and genuine care for your memories.
WHY MICRO WEDDINGS
For me, it’s all in the small moments—
The quiet, beautiful ways love shows up when the day is focused on connection. It’s in parents beaming as they snap photos on their phones, in shared laughter over dinner, in the way a couple anchors each other when emotions run high. These moments remind me why I do this work: I get to step into a deeply personal chapter of your story, where love is the center of it all.
There’s something liberating about elopements and micro weddings. They let you throw tradition out the door and design a day that reflects who you are. Whether it’s bringing your shared love of a raffle into your celebration, creating space for moments of togetherness, or stepping away after the ceremony to take it all in, these smaller celebrations honor your unique bond.
When you choose an intimate gathering, you invite your closest people into a space where the focus is entirely on you. There’s a thoughtfulness and sincerity to these moments—a warm embrace that makes the day feel deeply personal and genuine.
This is where love shines brightest, and it’s my privilege to capture it for you.
Where storytelling meets heartfelt moments. Want to see how love unfolds through my lens?
WHAT MAKES ME HUMAN
A few of my favorite things…
TV Show: Killing Eve. If you know, you know—the perfect mix of queer love and suspense.
Ultimate Comfort Food: Good tacos do the job every time! My go-to spot in NYC? Tacos El Bronco (taco truck in Sunset Park).
Dream Destinations: Take me to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Spain, or the Netherlands–And honestly, anytime I’m on the Oregon Coast, I’m in my happy place!
Quirky Camera Bag Item: A small hardware toolkit gifted to me by a past client—it comes with me to every wedding!
Creatively Outlets: When I’m not behind the camera, I’m journaling—writing prose, poetry, and little reflections that help me process the world and my human experience. Read my piece The Daughter of Dangerous Aliens on Medium.
