MEET Stacie

Stacie has always had a love for photography, but it was after a career change that she realized it was her passion. She studied at the Brooks Institute of Photography with the intention of pursuing architectural photography. When she took a portrait class it was undeniable that human connection was what spoke to her.

After 14 years photographing weddings, she has a calm presence and is quick to put you at ease in front of the camera. She embraces the uniqueness of each wedding and welcomes the unexpected - always looking for raw emotion and capturing the reality of a wedding day in the most beautiful way.

Her photos are nostalgic and timeless while they tell the story of your connection and the spirit of your celebration. Moments frozen in time, they allow you to relive the incredible time you had together with your loved ones.

I value human connection and both love & respect the diversity of backgrounds we come from and the incredible variety of life stories we have to tell.

I will always be fully present with you to foster confidence and comfort, providing a safe space for honesty and whole-hearted emotion.

I bring integrity, passion and genuineness into everything I do. It is of the utmost importance to me that you have a valuable and positive experience. 

Stacie really got to know us as a couple and made us feel comfortable during our shoot. We got so many pictures we love!! Everyone comments that they’re some of the best engagement pics they’ve seen.
