Stephanie West Photography

I would describe my wedding photography as lifestyle or journalistic. I don't like to create moments. I like to photograph moments in the raw, as they happen. I love capturing real emotion and real interaction between people, especially people in love. One of my favorite things after an engagement session is to hear someone who dreads having their photo taken say, "I have to admit, that wasn't that bad!" I encourage my couples to just pay attention to each other as I "coach" your interaction, instead of "posing" you!

I officially started my business in 2008, shooting everything I could possibly photograph. In 2018 I shifted my focus to weddings because it's the thing I enjoy photographing the most.

Most of my couples receive about 100 images per hour that we shoot. Depending on the day, the happenings, the weather and a few other factors, some couples get more photos and some couples get less.

I deliver my photos in an online gallery with a print release. There are instructions on how best to view your gallery to make it an experience rather than looking at photos on your computer. With COVID it has been hard to present galleries in person so to acclimate I switched to online

I am with my clients through their entire experience. From inquiry to final image delivery. Besides having a co-shooter at my weddings, I am a one-woman show :)
