The Best Decision!
I highly recommend booking The Axtells. Stephanie is amazing at what she does. We had her for our engagement shoot and wedding day. We were nervous going into our engagement shoot as we never had a professional photoshoot before. However, Stephanie immediately made us feel comfortable and it ended up being so much fun. She was great at directing us. Our wedding day went awesome. Stephanie was very on top of things and we were actually ahead of schedule which made the wedding day even more enjoyable. We were beyond happy with how are photos turned out! Can't say enough good things about our photo experience.

Book with the axtells!
Working with Stephanie was so much fun and we love our pictures! We set up a package for our engagement shoot and wedding which she helped us put together according to our budget and wedding dreams. After the engagement shoot we knew we made the right decision! We are definitely not accustomed to photoshoots but she has a way of making it so easy, comfortable, and fun! She is ORGANIZED AND CREATIVE! Our pictures perfectly capture the vintage/old money vibes we were going for while still remaining true to the bridal/wedding photo needs. Even with the hustle and bustle on the wedding day she got every photo we needed including the ones with family and she did it with efficiency so we could enjoy as much of our cocktail hour and reception as possible! We are so grateful to have worked with Wilmington’s BEST photographer!

Incredible!
The Axtells were the best decision for photographers we could have made for our wedding day. In our first meeting, we were immediately drawn to their professionalism, punctuality, enthusiasm, and passion to ensure that our day would be special. Stephanie and Charles have an amazing passion for photography and are extremely talented in capturing the moments we didn’t even know existed. They listened to and worked with us on the different ideas we had and were able to offer suggestions that matched our personalities. They are beyond punctual and have astounding eyes on scoping out spots for the dreamiest photos. As a couple who thought they weren’t photogenic, the Axtells really made us feel like models. They guided us in all the right ways and added positivity and humor throughout it all. It was truly a blast being able to spend the day with them. In receiving our photos, they are absolutely stunning, the turnaround time exceeded expectations, and there isn’t one thing we would have wanted done differently. Thanks to the Axtells, we can continue to relive our special day for all the years to come. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Stephanie is an amazing photographer with the eye for any situation! We collaborate ideas and business strategies daily to grow our individual businesses. Stephanie Axtell Photography delivers high quality work in a very professional manner. She has second shot for me in the past and will continue to do so in the future!
