I’m Stephanie, a wedding + lifestyle photographer based in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Warrenton, Virginia. Whether I’m by the mountains of Colorado or Virginia, my soul feels at home, surrounded by rural living and the raw beauty of nature. I genuinely love what I do, and feel so passionate to share the enthusiasm and joy of these celebrations with you!

Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

Who’s excited for FALL?!?!? What a weekend!!! Even though I didn’t have a wedding to photograph, my weekend was busy attending a wedding as a guest (where I even had the opportunity to dress up in a sari <= SO much fun), enjoy a bachelorette party at the Bobby McKey’s Dueling Piano Bar (that place is so much fun) and watch the REDSKINS WINNNNN! HAIL! All great stuff … AND I loved that yesterday REALLY felt like the first day of fall! Who is excited for cooler weather, pretty leaves, boots, camp fires, corn mazing, pumpkin patching and scarves?! I wasn’t sure I was ready for fall since I wanted to live in a tiny house on the beach, but I just love this changing season time of the year. <3 Cannot really favor any particular season which is why Virginia will always be my home!

Weekend Recap

I’ll be taking some time off from blogging this week and I’ll be explaining why on the blog tomorrow! Be on the look out!
