Steph is amazing!!!!

My husband and I can’t thank Steph enough for shooting our engagement photos and our recent elopement! Kyle and I are a little camera shy and she made us feel so comfortable with her. She really goes above and beyond for her clients! When we told her we were interested in doing our engagement shoot in Alabama hills, she packed up the camper van with her family and took the trip out to meet us there! Our photos turned out amazing and we had such a good time. Steph is now a good friend of ours and I’m sure we’ll stay in touch! Kyle and I both highly recommend Steph!! Book her!

Steph is incredible!

My husband and I hired Steph to do both our engagement photos last summer and photograph our wedding this June. We cannot say enough amazing things about her and her incredible work. Steph is wonderfully professional, confident in her work, and makes the experience feel like you are working with an old friend. She has an amazing way of making her couples feel at ease and knows exactly how to get the best picture every single time.
I will be singing her praises forever and will recommend her as a photographer to anyone I meet. Her sense of adventure, playfulness, and love for her craft shows through in all of her photos, and I'd say you'd be very lucky to work with her on your wedding day.

Steph is Amazing!

We loved working with Steph! She is so fun, creative, and she helps you feel at ease. The photos turned out so beautifully and she perfectly captured the day. After the wedding, Steph gave us sneak peeks to keep our wedding vibes high. She also gave us access to the wedding album in a great turnaround time and a really easy platform to view, download, buy, and share. Thank you Steph. We are so happy to have chosen you as our photographer!! We highly recommend Shines Photography! - Zack & Jenna, 10-22-22
