Photographs by Stephanie & Films by Ryan: Our Story & Our Style

OUR STORY

Stephanie started Photographs by Stephanie in 2015, and has spent the past eight years serving brides and grooms all over North Carolina and the surrounding regions. She specializes in weddings, but is equally passionate about documenting lifestyle portraits and family sessions. Ryan joined the team in 2020, first as a second-shooter, and later as a videographer.

OUR STYLE

We are hugely sentimental people, which is one of the many reasons why we love what we do so much: it is such a privilege to know that we are helping families preserve memories that will be cherished forever.

We believe in capturing real moments, in documenting love stories, and in creating tangible memories to last throughout the years. We believe firmly that the most important thing about your wedding day is your marriage. As artists, of course we love capturing all of the beautiful details that go into planning your perfect day, but what we are REALLY passionate about is capturing your love story. We are not into awkward posing, and want to truly capture you: the way you look at each other, the tears and the laughter, the kisses, the cuddles, and all the little in-between moments that often go undocumented.

Relationship building is important to us, and we both want to be more than vendors on your wedding day. We want to be the kind of people you feel comfortable with and can call friends by the time the big day is finally here; we are here to help with anything in the wedding planning process that you need because we have been there and know how much truly goes into it!
