Ashley told us exactly what to do and gave us so much direction all while being very personable and funny. We felt very comfortable and we were laughing the whole time.

My family lives in that area and I have always wanted to do an outdoor family picture session. Me being from out of town and not knowing any good locations for a great session, Rachel was a tremendous help! She made herself available via zoom and was really interested in knowing what my vision was for the pictures. She went to our location of choice ahead of time to spot out perfect area and time of lighting. If you want someone who will go above and beyond, I would highly recommend Rachel. Thanks Rachel for creating beautiful life long memories for me and my family.

We are so glad that we hired Mike Scotto (who was recommended by our photographer) to video our big day, and he couldn't have done a better job. Mike and his assistant were a pleasure to have with us at the wedding, they were very prepared, attentive, kind, and fun to be around. Mike is easy going and truly wants the client to be happy, and is fantastic at creating magical wedding clips that are beautifully done with so much heart and emotion. I feel like when I watch these clips we are reliving that day all over again. Since the wedding ive watched the clips every day with my husband. And the raw footage was amazing to have as well, we had the best time rewatching all of it with our parents. Thank you so much again and we will treasure these forever. 5 stars without any hesitation for Scotto Films. Mike has exceptional communication skills and takes great pride in his work, which definitely shows! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! - Michelle & Andrew W.

She was also AMAZING with our pup and flower children. : ) We are thrilled with our sneak peek photos, can't wait to see the full set in a few weeks, and honestly just want Steph to come visit us in Brooklyn to hang out. Thank you, Steph, and can't wait to see you again sometime soon! REVIEW FROM ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS: My partner and I are so so excited to be working with Stephanie for our wedding next year, and she gifted us an hour of engagement photos. We happened to be in town for one day this week, and she moved mountains to be able to meet us for a session. And y'all, she was AMAZING -- she took us from awkward-giggly to having a blast just hanging out together. We just got the sneak peek preview, and they're so great...we look like us, but the very best, happiest, and prettiest versions of us. She was triple prepared with backups on backups in case of surprise weather, made us feel so comfortable (especially important for us as a queer couple) and -- get this -- she even brought us coffee when we rolled up. Hero status. PSA: Book Stephanie for your wedding or literally anything else (headshots, engagement pics, etc.) -- she's the best decision we made in wedding planning and we're so excited to see her again!

I found this photographer and asked her a couple of questions about the beaches we would shoot on since I'm not local. She was very unresponsive and seemed to be offended I asked her questions about the seaweed in her beach photos. Again little to no response. After a week I asked "Are we on?". Finally she responded with I should find another photographer since the beach she shoots on is "not what I want". What?....I never said I didn't like the location, I just asked some questions about what beaches she shot at and emailed her that I was fine with whatever was the prettiest beach. Customers aren't allowed to ask questions about shoot location? Her pictures on her website are not even that good to be honest, she's definitely a novice, but I figured for a quick mini shoot it would be okay. But WOW, couple that with terrible customer service and $295 for 20 minutes for mediocre photos?. Buyer beware...
