It is finally my turn to leave a review for Stevi! My husband & I have been working with Stevi for…read moremore than a year & I can say that she is unequivocally the best vendor I contracted with for my wedding (& I had great luck in having amazing vendors all around, but Stevi truly was the best).
When my husband & I met Stevi for the first time while looking for an engagement/wedding photographer, we both immediately felt comfortable with her. She is personable & down to earth. Another (big) bonus: she loves dogs & was excited about including our pup in our photos. Not only that, but her prices were incredibly competitive & fair. I think she could charge more for her product, but she keeps it at market level, which is nice. When our engagement photos came, we were amazed. The photos were beautiful; full of life & wonderfully edited. We got so many compliments on them, & I don't know how many times I told people, "I'm SO glad we hired her!"
Stevi stayed in touch between my engagement & wedding, & she attended a meeting out at the venue. We also got together for coffee a few days before the big day to go over last minute details. We had a Persian-American wedding & Stevi even took the time to research the Persian elements she was unfamiliar with.
On the day of, Stevi & her second shooter, Amanda, arrived on time & immediately got to taking photos. They really worked hard the whole 9 hours to get amazing shots. I was impressed by how thorough & thoughtful they were with their work, running around & going the extra mile (actually, several extra miles!) even on a hot summer day. They worked wonderfully as a team & were both genuinely funny, kind, & helpful - they helped out so much & did things they didn't even have to: offering a bobby pin, helping bustle my dress, grabbing a glass of water for my Grandpa, just keeping us all generally on schedule, & the list could go on. I was so grateful for their help & positive attitudes. I know they both played a huge role in our day going so smoothly.
One of the biggest plusses I must mention about Stevi is that her turn around time is incredible. I have friends who have waited up to 4 months for their wedding photos. Stevi aims for 2 weeks, which is seriously impressive. With both our engagement photos & wedding photos, Stevi met that goal. We received over 1,000 photos of our wedding day, and we love all of them, as do our parents, wedding party, and friends. Her online gallery where you view & download your photos is secure, user-friendly, and aesthetically appealing.
As I said above, I am so glad we hired Stevi. I'm still saying it today & I know I'll be saying it for years to come. She has a true gift for photography, is a hard worker & has a wonderful personality. I highly recommend her without any reservation to anyone in the market for a photographer.
