Are you looking for an excellent photographer who:…read more
- takes great pride in their work
- effectively communicates and suggests different poses, angles, and areas that you wouldn't have thought of yourself
- will go the extra mile to, not only capture your wedding, but capture your beautiful family, friends, and guests
- Incredibly understanding, flexible, and all-around team player
THEN YOUR ETERNAL SEARCH IS OVER!! LOOK NO FURTHER.
Seriously, she's the best. My wife and I can't speak any higher about Stefani. But, to understand this praise you need to understand a little more about myself and my wife. I am a frugalist (some one argue cheapskate), who doesn't often write reviews (it's too cumbersome) and, in retrospect, had some pretty lofty expectations for all of our vendors ( i mean, who doesn't?! It's your big day).
But enough with the basic, fluffy adjectives...Here are some specific EXAMPLES:
- Trying to save some money, we opt-ed for no engagement photos, but then had some excruciating circumstances happen with our family and changed our mind. We must have gone back and forth 3x with Stefani, but each time she was very patient, flexible, and understanding. Not to mention, we made her drive back from Vegas early just for our photoshoot (yes, we were quite demanding)
- Not only was she flexible with the timing and style of our engagement photos, but she was such a team player. The site of our photos might have been closed, but she was willing to jump the fence just to make this happen. Who doesn't love a bad@$$ with such passion and fervor?!
- We wanted a group photo of all of our guests (+150 ppl). This girl was willing to stand on a bunch of wobbly, stacked boxes just to get the perfect shot. And that she did
- We wanted very specific full length shots. Stefani not only took that feedback, but would also suggest other angles that ultimately turned out gorgeous! We especially love the empty reception ballroom shot with the flying veil that she captured (see attached)
And last but not least, she wasn't like your other shameless vendors who beg and solicit for Yelp reviews in return for deals. This review is solely because I can't stop raving about how great Stefani was/is/will be. As for your other vendors...yeah, good luck with that. :)
