Stephanie Williams Photography Blog

Brooke + David are already married, but they were kind enough to come out and model for a recent mentor session demo shoot! More Diana camera and one giant balloon coming up soon!

Still shooting non-stop! I have many more sessions to post this next week, so stay tuned for some amazing weddings and engagement sessions + some personal images! Jessica + Andrew were a dream couple to shoot - just sweet and totally in love and up for anything - even being showered with pollen. After the session, Jessica sent me the nicest e-mail -  I wanted to share a bit of their experience with my blog readers…

“Hi Stephanie and Isaac!
Andrew and I had so much fun hanging out with you on Friday afternoon! Despite running on about 4 hours of sleep, dehydration, and being really hungry (though, I am ALWAYS hungry), we had an absolute blast! We were both blown away by your creativity and talent- it was so fun seeing the process behind all your gorgeous photography and even more fun being a part of it. We can’t wait to see the end result! You were both so encouraging and patient and you made us feel so comfortable and confident- thank you. You really know how to put your couples at ease- even in the middle of a paintball warzone. We know the wedding photos will be just as fun and can’t wait for you to come and work your magic on our big day! Oh, and we are still picking out pompous grass “snow” out of our hair! But it was so worth it- if not for the fabulous photos than at least for the laughs! Extra props to Isaac for shaking the crap out of those suckers.

Have I mentioned that we get to shoot the best couples!? Shay and Scott are amazing and so sweet! Shay is an avid knitter, and she knit me an adorable soft gray scarf - I was so blown away! Isaac and I had so much fun with them at their session - they’re both hilarious, and I’m surprised we were able to take pictures at all between all the laughing and good conversation. We cannot wait till their wedding next year in San Diego! (I will definitely take a picture wearing her awesome scarf, so everyone can pressure her into having her own Etsy shop!)

For Next Exit Photography

oh, and this last shot is for Scott….

Karissa + DW’s wedding was held at Box Eight Studio, an artsy industrial venue in downtown LA. Their theme of succulents, rich fall colors, and peacocks went so well with the venue, and there were so many amazing, unique details at their wedding, from the hand designed invitations to to the custom tailored suits, it was impossible to narrow down just a few for the blog! For the table arrangements, the couple grew all the succulents for their wedding in their own backyard, and at the ceremony, the couple poured olive oil and balsamic vinegar together. In place of a wedding cake, there was a full display of delicious bundt cakes (we had to do a taste test by the end of the night, and they were so moist and yummy!) Instead of a getaway vehicle, the couple walked a block down the road and took the metro blue line to Union Station…of course, we followed along to get some awesome shots! It was such pleasure documenting their wedding day and their love for each other!

We love Jordana + Mike! Not only are these two stylish + adorable, but they are also absolutely perfect for each other and totally in love! We can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year!
