About Hazel Lining Photography

Hazel Lining Photography

Lead Photographer & Owner

Born & raised in the suburbs of Philly. During the very limited time that I'm not being a photog, you can find me picking out my next plant baby, redecorating our home, or planning my next travel adventure. I love the sky. Clouds, sunshine, sunrises, sunsets, moon & stars; all of it. I met the love of my life while photographing his best friend's wedding back in October 2014, he proposed in November 2017, & we got married in September 2018! {Ask me, I'd love to tell you all about it}  Ways to my heart... puppies. PLANTS. target home decor. & mexican food.

My focus is couples mainly because well, I love L❤VE! I am and always will be a big sap...I cry at almost every wedding I photograph which is why I aim to photograph your day with warmth & intention. Everyone's story is different and touches my heart in a different way & I enjoy so much being able to capture the most special moments & milestones in people's lives. And after that, I just love being their friend and cheerleader and watching their love unfold! I strive to artfully curate your photographs to make lived-in memories for the future.

    Steph is one of a kind!

    Steph is one a kind! She is such a kind and creative person and I couldn't possibly say enough good things about her! Steph did my engagement session and we were we were bloooown away. We were already so excited leading up to the session because we had seen her work before. But that didn't prepare us for how IN LOVE with our photos we are! The minute we got our photos back we looked through them together and went straight to an album printing site to get all the beauty onto paper! Now I cannot wait for her to capture my wedding, AH! She is truly SO gifted.

    Hazel Lining Is amazing!

    I’ve worked with Steph and Hazel Lining twice and both times she was stellar in both professionalism and quality of work. Hazel Lining makes you feel like you’re apart of their family and works diligently to make sure your photography desires come true. They made our wedding so special through the care and thought they put behind it and the effort and joy they had while doing it. They’re more than a business to their clients, they are friends!

    Steph is AMAZING!

    Steph was a dream to work with! She is very detailed when it comes her photo timeline & keeping everything moving. She is so great with her clients and their guests, and making them comfortable in front of the camera. She captures all the candid moments! 10/10 recommended!

    Hazel Lining | Professional & Creative

    Steph Cox of Hazel Lining Photography is one of the best around! Her level of organization, professionalism, dedication to her craft & (most importantly) stunning imagery make her a must-have for any wedding day! As a fellow vendor, she's a pleasure to work with. She is always upbeat and positive, timely & respectful of all wedding guests and vendors. Her carefully curated team of second shooters are phenomenal as well. It's always a "good wedding day" for me when I know I'll be working alongside Hazel Lining Photography!

    Steph is so wonderful! We were both hired to service a wedding this fall and she went above and beyond for the couple leading up to the wedding and the day of. Steph was incredibly professional but also incredibly personable! Steph has a very calming demeanor and worked with the curveballs that were thrown on the wedding day with ease and grace. I typically reach out to a photographer before a wedding just to introduce myself but Steph took the time to get to know more about me/my work, and now I can consider her a friend in this industry. She made sure to send me the full gallery from the wedding afterwards which I was so grateful for! Anyone would be lucky to have Steph as their photographer, please don't wait to book her!


Preferred vendors of Hazel Lining Photography


All deposits are non-refundable. As much as I understand that a wedding cancellation is a big hit to your bank account, it is also a big hit to mine as I have set aside that date for your wedding and usually can't book another one in it's place quick enough to make it worth it. But great news, I have made my deposits and any other payments transferrable to another date should that need arise.
We have an awesome team of associates put into place just this year in 2020 that first and second shoot for me, which is super helpful when weddings need to be moved. If for some reason I (Steph) am personally unavailable for your date because I'm already shooting another wedding, we will have a team member there ready for your wedding!
Each wedding that is over one hour of driving time will include travel expenses. Every wedding is different, but we are happy to work with you and figure out the best way to make this happen! Anything outside a 2+ hour radius will most likely require lodging fees as well. {0-30mi: FREE! || 30-100mi: $1/mi || 100+miles: custom}
Every session includes the rights to print your photos wherever and however you'd like. However, this does not provide you with the rights to alter the image editing. We do suggest that you order straight from your gallery in order to get the very best quality of prints!
We do not provide clients with RAW files. We work extremely hard to give each client our unique style of photography. Unedited files would not represent our brand if someone else would end up editing them.
Absolutely! If this is something you're interested in, make sure to let us know a few details about your wedding day so we can send you one that is comparable to your dream day!
We shoot with Canon 5D Mark IIIs + IV's, and use only prime lenses. Steph's go-to lenses are the 50mm 1.2 & 35mm 1.4 alongside her beloved 100mm macro lens. We prefer natural light, but will also always be prepared with additional lighting if necessary.
In our contract it states that you will have your wedding photos back within eight weeks of your wedding. Sometimes we can get them back a little early depending on the time of year and how many weddings we are shooting. We want to edit and sort each wedding to the best of our abilities and take pride in the quality of photos we deliver.
Wardrobe is totally personal preference. We suggest that you were something you feel confident in, and also layer up so you can switch out quickly to make more options during your portrait session! If you need color suggestions, you can ask for our style guide.
Every image is specially edited, and we will remove blemishes or anything that is not natural to your face or body. We do not remove tattoos, or liquify bodies to make you look different. We believe that each person is created beautifully and we will not take it upon ourselves to change that!
Yes! Just let us know that you're interested in reading over our contract when you inquire! If there are any specific areas you are wondering about, feel free to ask!
Unfortunately, will the high volume of sessions throughout the year we are unable to feature every wedding. This is not to say that your wedding was not an amazing day. It could very well be one that we blog down the road.
Unfortunately, due to the large volume of photos that most sessions include, we only select our top photos from the wedding or session to post and tell the best story!
For engagement & portrait sessions you will receive your images on a secure online gallery for downloading and ordering. Weddings will also be delivered through a gallery, and you can purchase a thumb-drive of your wedding day à la carte!
SURE DO! We design and print albums for you and cater to your very favorite photos from your day. We have a few sample albums here in the office and would love to show you if you're interested!
We have had the pleasure to shoot at many local venues, but our creativity is sparked when we arrive at a location that we have not yet shot at. We love being able to individualize your photographs based on your wedding style and you venue is a huge part of that! We don't feel that it is a downfall when we haven't shot a specific location or venue before!
