    Amazing!

    Stefani and Brad are in a league of their own! Not only are they great at what they do, but they are so professional and fun to work with! My husband and I loved having them be a part of our special day. The turn around time for photos was SO quick and we could not believe how perfect they were.

    If you are looking for a professional, talented, photographer/videographer....your search ends here!

    Let me start off this review by saying that I was probably one of the most particular brides when it came to every vendor that would be servicing my wedding - photography/video included, of course. I closely researched close to 15 photographers all around CA and had consultations with a bunch. I read every single review from every wedding website before I made my selections.

    I knew from my initial conversation with Stefani, that she was exactly what we were looking for. Not only was she incredibly communicative throughout the entire process (I'm taking very fast, especially for a wedding photographer during busy season) - but she delivered in more ways than I can explain!

    The day of my wedding, there was a chance of rain during the ceremony and I was trying to keep it together. Stefani and Brad came in and truly put me at ease in every way - they got *every* shot I wanted and delivered sneak peaks in RECORD time. I was literally blown away by how amazing the photos are, I have been looking at them every day since and admiring them. All of our family and friends have said that our sneak peak photos look like a Pinterest board, bridal magazine ad, or that they're saving them as inspiration for when they get married. You can't really expect better compliments when you share your wedding photos with your loved ones!

    If you're reading this review, take my word and hire Stefani Welsh Photography. You will be SO delighted and overjoyed at the wedding photos that you will look at and have to remember your special day forever. I truly recommend them 10/10 in every category and would pick them again a 1000x over!

    So happy with our photos!

    Stephanie and her husband’s work is absolutely stunning! They made my husband and I so relaxed and had so much fun capturing all of the beauty in special moments of our wedding. I would highly recommend them. They are so incredibly talented and such a joy to get to know.

    Hire stefani welsh!

    Stop looking at reviews and hire Stefani Welsh right now! We promise you won’t be sorry! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and exactly what we wanted, and we truly credit a good amount of that to Stefani, Brad, and their entire team. We could not have been happier with them from the moment we contacted them, through all the planning, and to the special day. Every time we met with Stefani, she was incredibly knowledgable, understanding, and helpful. She made sure that everything was prepared and organized for us, and it showed on the day of the wedding. Everyone on their team was ready to go and knew exactly what to do and when. One of the most important things on your wedding day is trusting that your vendors will do what you want without you having to worry. Stefani and her team went above and beyond our wildest expectations. Not only were they incredibly professional, but they were really nice and fun as well. They were great to be around the whole night. Above all else, our photos look absolutely spectacular. We are so incredibly happy with the amazing job that they did. We will truly cherish these memories forever, and that is all thanks to Stefani Welsh. Thank you so much, Stefani!

    Very professional- absolutely worth every penny!

    Stefani and her husband were a great duo to shoot our wedding. Stefani had a baby 2 weeks before our date, however, she reassured us that she would be able shoot our special day. She and her husband showed up without skipping a beat- they are very invested in their work and will do anything to make it happen! On the day of the wedding, they were professional and coordinated everything efficiently without sacrificing quality. They are both personable people and easy to work with. My husband and I don't naturally pose well for photos but Stefani was really good about directing us on what to do.    
    We chose Stefani because of her beautiful photos for a reasonable price. As expected, her photos were amazing and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Our wedding day was a very clear day for the most part and we were worried about light saturation from the sun, however, they did a very good job working with it and the pictures turned out well despite that.
    We highly recommend Stefani & Brad!

    Amazing photographer/videographer team 🙌🏼

    The Carcano DJ and Stefani Welsh Photography/Videography teams were a match made in heaven for our wedding! They’re a family group that works perfectly together. We were able to communicate any needs/wants and they all made sure to make it happen! Stefani and Brad were amazing with their team for photography and videography. Any ideas I had as the bride in the moment they were completely accommodating and able to make it work. We got our sneak peek pictures literally the day after the wedding and they were absolutely beautiful so I know the rest will be great as well! Can’t recommend Stefani enough ♥️

    MUST HAVE Photographer and videographer

    Could not wait to write this review! Stefani and Brad were amazing, nice, prompt, fun, professional and sweet! I wasn’t going to do a video UNTIL I saw my friends wedding video and it made me cry it was so beautiful. I quickly got on my phone to reach out and book them because I now NEEDED to have a video like that and I NEEDED them. Best decision I could have made. They are so talented I will definitely be using them for every occasion possible and referring them to everyone for photography and videography. Best videography and photography team! My siblings and friends can’t wait to use them when it’s time for their weddings.

    Seriously, hire her!

    Stefani is the best!!!!! Choosing the right photographer to capture our wedding day was one of the most important decisions we made during our planning, and Stefani went above and beyond to make that happen. She was incredibly easy to work with throughout the planning process and was awesome the day of--even my notoriously difficult-to-please father in law can't stop talking about how great our photographer was. Stefani and her day-of partner made sure to get all of the shots that I wanted and then some, and they made the process seamless and fun. She sent over a sneak preview of our pictures only three days after the wedding, and I literally can not stop looking at them because they are so perfect. I can not wait to see the rest and share these memories with our kids and grandkids for years to come. Thank you Stefani and team!!!!

    Amazing Photographer, So Fun To Work With!

    My brother and sister-in-law used Stefani Welsh Photography for their wedding in November 2019 and, as a bridesmaid, I was blown away by her work! When my now husband and I got engaged, I knew we had to use her for our wedding as well! Stefani and her team were professional, so kind, and super fun from start to finish. So far we have received our sneak peek pictures and we are in love with them! Can’t wait to see the rest and our wedding video as well. We highly recommend using Stefani and her team for your wedding or event! Thank you, Stefani and team! Amazing work!!!

    Stefani (and Brad) are amazing!!

    I cannot recommend Stefani enough! Her work is absolutely stunning and gorgeous! We used Stefani for our engagement photos as well as for our wedding. Her fiancé was also our videographer. They both work so well together and made the whole process so much easier for us! Stefani is so quick and definitely knows what she is doing! She doesn't waste anyone's time and still gets all of the best shots! Stefani and Brad are so easy to work with and get along with and they know how to make you feel comfortable when taking photos isn't always the most comfortable situation. Thank you so much Stefani and Brad, we loved working with you guys and can't wait to see our wedding photos! :)

    May 2021 Wedding

    Stefani was the most amazing photographer we could have asked for! She made taking photos so much fun! She was kind enough to make us a timeline of our wedding day, which helped so much in terms of taking photographs. She was able to get us all the beautiful shots we needed so quickly so we were actually able to enjoy our wedding day. She made the entire day stress free for both the bride and the groom and on top of that she took the most STUNNING photographs. We want to get married all over again so we can work with her again! We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work!

    Couldn’t have asked for a better Photographer!

    Where do I begin, Stefani is a gem! My now husband and I are not a big fan of taking photos but Stefani really makes you feel so comfortable! She is fast, but very efficient. I gave her a shot list and she made sure to get every shot I wanted. I’ve only seen sneak peek of my wedding photos but those sneak peeks are TO DIE FOR!!!! My engagement photos were absolutely breathtaking too. One thing I am truly appreciative and so thankful for is Stefani’s flexibility, due to COVID, I had to postpone my wedding twice and she NEVER questioned or gave me a difficult time. I am so excited to see my full wedding gallery photos! I am so happy I got the opportunity to have such amazing talent capture one of the most important events in my life. I would recommend her in a second, she knows what she is doing and her work shows that! THANK YOU STEFANI & team!!

    Wonderful experience

    We saw Stefani’s work as a preferred vendor of the venue we chose. We are so glad that we trusted her with our special day. She knew of all the best spots to take amazing shots since she had so much experience at that venue and with weddings. She was so organized in getting the photos we requested and helping us with great ideas. She is very gifted at capturing the beautiful light and the personalities of her subjects. She was very professional and easy to work with. We highly recommend Stefani Welsh Studios!

    Wonderful photographer

    Stefani did an excellent job with photos on our wedding day! She showed up with a broken elbow and still rocked it, you would never know she had been injured! Stefani was very professional, quick with responding, great to work with, and knows her stuff. You will feel like you are in great hands when she is capturing your day. Thank you Stefani!

    Amazing Photographer

    Stefani was the photographer for our wedding on October 5, 2019 at the Summit House. Stefani came highly recommended to us from our venue and we could not have been more pleased to be introduced to her. She ended up being the first and only photographer we met with. I had done my research on what to look for in a wedding photographer prior to our initial meeting and one of the things that stuck in my head was that a great photographer will suggest the start time of the ceremony in order to capture the perfect pictures...that is exactly what she did. We instantly booked her to do our engagement photos and our wedding. She was amazing! Our engagement photos were beyond beautiful, especially with her use of lighting. She took time to try to get to know us and our personalities and even suggested the most perfect place to take our engagement photos. As for our wedding photos, we were all blown away. She is so talented at using light, capturing organic photos, and making sure to capture everything you wanted and more! She also worked so will with our other vendors and we honestly did not have to worry about a thing. Aside from her talent, she is organized, punctual, trustworthy, and extremely sweet and easy to work with. She will forever be my go to photographer. It was a true blessing to have worked with her, as it is not always easy to find someone as talented, trustworthy, and easy to work with as her.

    Excellent Photographer

    Stefani was our photographer for our wedding back in November. We are so happy with the way our wedding photos turned out, especially our couple photos! Stefani is very efficient and made sure to keep things moving so that we were able to get in all of the different shots we requested. Stephanie, the second shooter, was also great and between the two of them we ended up with tons of great pictures to remember the day by. Stefani also did our engagement photos in September and those turned out great as well.

    Amazing Photographer!

    Stefani was recommended to me by a friend and I am so happy I had her at my wedding. From the initial emails, she was very prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. She always answered any questioned I had. The day of the wedding she was amazing! She was able to get all of the shots and did everything so efficiently and professionally. My wedding party was very impressed by her. The pictures were ready 4 weeks after the wedding and they turned out awesome. I am so happy I had her there on my special day.

    Stefani shot our wedding on 9.9.17. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and her staff. She got some wonderful shots- some traditional and some candid ones as well. She had shot at our venue before, so she took advantage of different areas with different backdrops. She is also a fast shooter which was ideal for us with the size of our families. She was able to coordinate all of us and get the shots we wanted. Excellent service! Very professional and responsive to all of our questions. Great to work with. Would highly recommend!

    I cannot speak highly enough of Stefani and Amanda. They were true professionals. Since I was planning my wedding from out of town I needed someone who I could easily communicate with and who could take the lead with the details, and she did just that! Stefani is obviously an expert when it comes to weddings. Prior to the wedding she established a timeline that helped ensure we didn't miss any moments. In fact, the day of she helped us stay on track despite the chaos of a big wedding. We had about 200 guests at our wedding, with a lot of them being family or close friends, which meant LOTS of family pictures. Stefani recommended a second photographer, which was the right advice. Both Stegani and Amanda were able to work with a large group of people to get the perfect pictures in a short period of time. Neither my husband and I are picture people so I was worried that we would feel uncomfortable or look posed, however Stefani knew exactly what to do and say to make us feel comfortable and get the picture shot! We couldn't be happier with our service so if you are looking for a true professional and absolute pleasure to work with, then look no further!

    I met Stefani years ago when I assisted a wedding coordinator. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with her for years. When it came time for my own wedding I knew exactly who I wanted to capture the most important day of my life. Stefani was even better to work with as a bride than an assistant. She was calm , kept me feeling no stress, and created moments that turned into beautiful photos. My husband and I were so happy as we looked through the insane amount of photos she sent us. I will forever be so thankful for these amazing photos and the experience of having Stefani there during our big day.

    I could NOT have been more happy and pleased with Stefani's and Amanda's work! Finding Stefani was truly a blessing and we were incredibly thankful for her referral.

    When working with her, she made my bridal party, family, friends, husband and myself feel completely comfortable and relaxed. They made it incredibly easy and fun for us to take our wedding pictures. They captured every single moment of our special day and turned it into something we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. We cannot thank them enough for not only being our photographer, but our planner for the day! Our wedding was perfect and amazing with their help! We will always be grateful to them for that! And not to mention, their patience with my family and in-laws on our special day. When we shared all of our pictures with our families, our common response was, "Wow!" Everyone was blown away by Stefani's and Amanda's incredible work.

    If your looking for a photographer that will do amazing work, make it a fun experience, and hire some who actually listens to their customer then honestly, LOOK NO MORE!!! Believe me, she is worth every dollar and much more.

    Stefani is a gifted photographer. She has a special ability to work seamlessly, not only with the bride and groom, but with the myriad of other family members/guests who need to be photographed. She has tremendous patience, a very laid-back attitude and mostly, an ability to work a situation in the most organized fashion. Brides/grooms can be filled with stress, and Stefani has an ability to decompress that stress, a skill that few photographers possess.
    I especially love her command of lighting in her black and white photos.Stefani has a great attitude and I highly recommend her as your photographer.

    Stefani captured our wedding day beautifully. She made our wedding day complete by giving us the gift of seeing it all over again in her amazing photos. We cannot thank her enough for making our special day unforgettable.
