“I just want to write this thing in all caps…Steph is the cat’s meow! She was so so so great for our planned elopement! She not only stood as one of our witnesses, but followed my partner and I around and just captured US

Hi there, I’m Steph!! I’m a Michigan-based small wedding & elopement photographer currently living in the beautiful city of Grand Rapids. I grew up in the Detroit area, but my love for this incredible state of ours & passion for exploring it is what brought me west to where I am now.
I’m the type of gal who lives for the feeling of the wind in my hair, values real and raw moments, will always smile and say “awwww puppy!!” when a dog walks by, and believes in the significance of a wedding day filled with intention.
So if you are ready to trek across the Pictured Rocks shoreline, cozy up around a campfire, climb the Porcupine Mountains, take a dip in the freshest water in the world, and ignore TLC to chase some waterfalls, then we just might be a perfect fit!
random things:
– If I wasn’t a photographer I would want to be a snowboard instructor
– I have a serious passion for the classics, or as my friends so lovingly call it, “a grandpa’s taste in music”
– Stevie Nicks is my namesake (although my mom won’t admit to it but I know deep down it’s true)
– My favorite color is blue, but it should probably be green because most of the time I’m wearing so much of it I look like a walking olive
– I love smelling like a campfire
– I am completely terrified of bugs and will definitely scream if something buzzes in my ear
– Whenever I’m editing there’s a 90% chance the Office is on (I’ve seen it like 12 times through it might be a problem)
