About Steph Smith Photo

Steph Smith Photo

Photographer

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

While most of photography (including mine) is digital, I began by learning in the darkroom. My appreciation for the organic-- along with big helpings of wanderlust, curiosity, and awe-- lead me to capture weddings for what I believe they are: celebrations and relief that in this giant cosmos, you two found each other. Oh, also, I've been shooting these for over a decade, I'm a runner, and I've worked for some insane NYC bosses, so I've got the whole left-brain/fast-paced organization part of this down.

    We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From start to finish, Steph was warm, organized, and genuinely invested in capturing our day. Her pricing was refreshingly affordable, yet the quality of her work is *chefs kiss*. She kept our timeline on track, helped everyone feel at ease, and somehow made the whole process fun instead of stressful. The best surprise was the sneak‑peek gallery she sent us within a week! We’re beyond pleased with her talent and professionalism, and we’d recommend her to any couple looking for stunning photos and a smooth, stress‑free experience.

    Stephanie did an amazing job at our wedding. She blended in seamlessly with the crowd, making guests feel warm and comfortable as she photographed them. The same goes for us; it felt fun and natural to be shot by her. She was also always quick and efficient when responding to emails and messages.

    Steph captured beautifully the natural setting of my son's and son-in-law's October 2024 wedding in the Catskills. The individuality of their wedding was apparent in Steph's work. The many moments of the day are realized in Steph's work. Steph is calm, detail oriented, unobtrusive and friendly. Her skills have preserved for us the many spontaneous and unique moments of the day. I can see that Steph puts her personal touch on every photo shoot and would highly recommend her. Our family is so happy to have these memories preserved for the future.

    Steph is a wizard, ninja, and a unicorn all rolled into one. From the minute we reached out to her she immediately made us know we were in good hands. She was clear, communicative, and professional, but every time we talked it still felt like talking to an old friend. (Several of our guests assumed that she WAS an old friend of ours who happened to be a photographer — that’s how warm and chill she is.) Ahead of time she was great about getting details of exactly what we wanted, so that on the big day she just slipped in and out seamlessly without pulling us away from the fun. She was also careful to figure out exactly what we wanted the vibes of the final product to be (candid, colorful, joyful) and she delivered in spades. The finished products are beautiful and were delivered quickly (both the digital copies and the physical prints we ordered). We cannot recommend her highly enough!
