    Best Wedding/Dog Photographer

    We had the honor of having Stephanie as our main photographer at our Key Largo beach wedding! As with many couples, we had to postpone our original wedding date due to covid and had many unexpected changes, but Stephanie was very understanding and accommodating. Stephanie answered any questions we had that came up. When we finally met her on the day, she was extremely kind, genuine, upbeat, friendly, charming, and professional. Stephanie was with us the whole day, capturing our getting ready photos, detail shots, the ceremony, romantic sunset photos, and our favorite – our dogs. We absolutely love Stephanie’s light and airy style of photography as well as her ability to capture our two energetic dogs. Anyone who...

    Wonderful Photographer

    Stephanie is amazing to work with. Not only is she fully prepared for the big day she also is easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. Stephanie made us feel comfortable the day of in front of the camera and kept us laughing and having a great time. The photos themselves are beautiful and truly captured our amazing day. Her creativity and eye for a beautiful image shows. We absolutely loved working with her and highly recommend to all couples!

    Beyond Amazing

    30/10
    In all of our wedding planning and budgeting, we were looking to save money where we could but decided to chose Stephanie as a high end photographer. That was probably the best decision we made throughout the entirety of the planning process! From the first moment Stephanie and her teammate arrived, they were professional but relaxed enough to put everyone at ease. The bridal party and groomsmen photos were amazing, and the reception photos were so much fun that we didn’t want them to end! Stephanie made sure to get photos of all the family too! She knew the exact times, locations, and lighting for the best pictures possible. During the reception she was able to capture every...

    The first time I met Stephanie, I knew right away that she was going to make our wedding day even more special. I'm not the biggest fan of taking pictures, but Stephanie worked her magic and made every minute of it so much FUN! She's professional, hilarious, extraordinarily talented, sweet, and certainly knows how to make everyone look beautiful and natural. We had such a blast with her and even the bridal party didn't want the photo taking to end! We are beyond grateful to have the gorgeous pictures that she took to remind us of all the special memories made on our wedding day. They make us smile from ear to ear every time we look through them. I, without a doubt, highly recommend using Stephanie A. Smith Photography for your special day!

    I honestly cannot put into words how special Stephanie made me feel on my wedding day. Being a destination bride, my wedding day was the first day we met and within the first 30 minutes of being around her, she made me feel like we have known each other all our lives. Everyone in the wedding party complimented on how great she was all day. Stephanie made us feel like we were just hanging out instead of posing for pictures. My fiance hates taking pictures, but he told me later he actually enjoyed taking them that night because our photographer made it fun for us. Without a doubt Stephanie was the PERFECT photographer.

    From the very first email I knew Stephanie was going to be my wedding photographer. I didn't get to meet Stephanie in person prior to the wedding, but throughout the whole planning process I felt so comfortable with her and I knew my photographs would turn out amazing. She was so personable and fun to work with on my wedding day, and she seemed more like a friend than a vendor. All of the members of my bridal party were blown away by her and kept commenting on how she was the best wedding photographer they'd ever worked with. Stephanie - thank you so much for spending the day with us and thank you for all of your amazing shots! One of these days I'll get our dogs down to you for a puppy photo shoot. :-)

    I was SO overwhelmed when searching for a photographer. I finally happened across Stephanie and couldn't not have been more lucky! Stephanie's style is so classic yet at the same time candid and fun. She captured such timeless images of our us while still finding a way to showcase our personalities. Furthermore, SHE LISTENS!!! She caterers her photos to your taste! A sign of a true professional! Her pictures from our wedding were ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! She has incredible talent for capturing people!

    Furthermore, Stephanie is so fun and bubbly, that she helped me feel at ease during photos. Her upbeat, super fun personality allows you to be you and makes you feel like a old friend is just...

    Craig and I found Stephanie based on a google search of The Crosley Estate - her pictures captured the look we were going for and her website led us to set up a trial photo shoot with our dog Edison and his Uncle Moose. Stephanie was fun, happy, full of ideas and ready to roll! When booking our wedding she worked with us on tweaking the package to our needs. She was in touch here and there, and showed so much excitement for us! On wedding day she was perfect. She had a ton of ideas and got lost in the joy of her photography - everyone could see it. I had friends/family talking about her afterwards - mentioned...

    From the minute we met Stephanie, we knew she was the perfect choice to photograph our wedding day. She was very laid back and we knew she would capture the beach wedding we were planning perfectly. After seeing our engagement pictures, we couldn't wait for the wedding. On the day of the wedding Stephanie showed up while everyone was getting ready and got right to work. She was like one of the girls hanging out. We recently got a "sneak peak" of our pictures and they are AWESOME! We can't wait to see the rest.

    Stephanie Smith is AMAZING! She is so professional and is great to work with during the event. She has amazing energy and her personality helps make the chaos of pre-wedding prepartions enjoyable. I
    would hightly recommend Stephanie not just for her artistry, talent and beautiful work but for her amazing client service. I felt confident to know Stephanie was capturing precious moments and had fun with creative photo shots. She is hands down the best photographer I have had the priviledge to work with and am so grateful she was available for our wedding day. I cannot thank Stephanie for being a part of our magical day and using her talent to capture the best moments of our lives. Thank you!

    What can I say about Stephanie? Well, for one thing she is amazing! Photography was at the top of my list in priorities while planning our wedding. I contacted around 60 photographers from Jacksonville to Miami in our search. When we saw Stephanie’s work on her blog we were extremely impressed, so we contacted her to set up a meeting. It’s important that your photographer not only takes great pictures, but that you also get along well. After all, you will be spending the most important day of your life with them.

    From the moment we met Stephanie, I felt like we had been friends for years. She is so personable and fun! We talked for hours...

    I do not know where to begin. When my husband, Alan, and I started planning our Pass-a-Grille Beach Wedding we knew that photography would be of upmost importance. We had friends and family traveling from all over the world to be with us on our special day. I wanted to remember not only the special moments shared between Alan and myself but also the moments that we were going to share with our guests. Stephanie truly nailed exactly what we were looking for. Many candid and simply beautiful shots. She was even able to hide the fact that it was close to 45 degrees on the beach the day of our wedding. Believe me, this was a huge task,...

    Stephanie is so great to work with. We hired her for our March 7 2010 wedding in St. Petersburg. She is so positive and funny which really helped us relax (especially since neither me or DH enjoy having our photos taken!) She really enjoys her profession and it shows. She was very accommodating and flexible. She did an awesome job. Our pictures looked amazing! Other than for the posed pictures, we barely noticed she was there, but we got great shots of our wedding day! Her prices are very reasonable and I knew we would have some great shots, but the photos turned out even better than I expected. I'm so happy that we chose Stephanie! I highly recommend her!!!

    Stephanie is amazing!

    We were so impressed with Stephanie and keeping our large group organized and focused on getting the pictures done on the big day. She was so fun and felt like one of the group! Our pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined. They are gorgeous and I'm obsessed with them. Steph was dedicated to getting these beautiful shots, and boy did they pay off. Make sure you hire her or you'll be missing out!

    The absolute best

    I am from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I was given a list of photographers from the hotel, so I just started sending emails. Stephanie responded quickly and was reasonably priced, so I decided to go with her. SHE WAS AMAZING! To be honest, I haven't even seen the pictured yet, but I know they will be great. She made everyone so comfortable, and she had the cutest, best ideas. I was so thankful to have her there to guide me through the whole night! She was perfect, and we can't wait to see our pictures!!

    Stephanie should be your photographer!

    1-22-21 at The Don Cesar. Stephanie is absolutely the best! I felt like my friend was taking our wedding pictures, and I had just met her when she showed up to take our wedding pictures! She made us all feel so comfortable, fit right in with everyone. She is so friendly, and just really amazing at what she does. I loved watching her brain work all day long with photos, her guidance was really appreciated. She always knew what to say and do to get the right shot, but didn’t over direct us or anything. Very organic, and our wedding photos prove that. She also knew the property and even showed up early to scope out some spots for...

    Stephanie is the best!

    We can’t recommend Stephanie enough! We had our wedding at the Gasparilla Inn in Boca Grande in November, and Stephanie was incredible to work with. She had a plan from start to finish for where to take the best photos, and was so personable as well - she made the experience so fun for everyone involved. We still have guests raving about her! Thank you so much!

    Best Wedding Photographer!

    Stephanie is an incredibly talented photographer. She captured our special moments over the course of our two day wedding. The photos she delivered were above and beyond what we expected.
    Her energy is so positive and bubbly that she helped us feel at ease in front of the camera. She was communicative through the whole process, from my initial call with her, to prep for the wedding, day of, through the editing process. Now we have 1000+ photo memories forever. Thank you, Stephanie!

    The first time I talked to Stephanie I knew I would love her, she is so enthusiastic and outgoing... She truly made me feel so pretty and special on my wedding day, so I have been dying to get our pictures and they just arrived! All I can say is WOW every picture is just amazing! She captured the most candid shots, you can really tell the love, joy and laughter in every picture. She was also AMAZING with our 2yo son and worked her magic to get him to look at her and smile in every pic! Thank you so much Stephanie!

    Not sure where to start, but we are so incredibly happy we booked Stephanie for our wedding. Just received our engagement photos (in lightening speed) and are delighted with how they came out! While we appreciate her skilled photography, we also appreciate her energy and attentiveness during the shoot. She makes everyone feel at ease despite somewhat stressful circumstances. Highly recommend!

    We can't even begin to describe how amazing Stephanie is! She truly captured the joy and emotion of our wedding through her photography. We booked Stephanie about a year and a half in advance as we fell in love with her natural style. We saw her photos online of our venue and that is one of the reasons we booked it and her!

    I hate taking photos of myself and get very nervous around cameras, so finding a photographer who made me feel comfortable was important. We did an engagement/puppy portrait session with Stephanie and she made us feel so comfortable. It was so fun running around the beach and snapping photos! On our wedding day, she...

    We found Stephanie after sifting through several photographers in the area for our wedding…We picked her based on her portfolio and the pleasant exchanges we had via phone/email.

    On the wedding day, Stephanie showed up with a positive & professional attitude. She was very accommodating and even assisted with me getting ready with my dress. Additionally, she was catering to our family’s constant random requests photo ops every moment they felt like. Stephanie was all smiles the whole time (something that helped offset the stress of the wedding) and she was very friendly to everyone.

    After the wedding, we got our photos (in a flash drive) in a very unique/pretty package. Our photos turned out absolutely...

    Stephanie is the type of girl that you spend an hour with and immediately you want to be her best friend. She is so happy and positive, she can make anyone comfortable, even if you hate taking pictures (as my husband does)! Not only is Stephanie the bees knees, she takes incredible pictures. If you want quality photography for your wedding, look no further. She is THE BEST!!!
