ELOPEMENTS

I’m

Your new photo bestie!

Hey there, lovely souls! Stephanie West here, your go-to wedding photographer based in the heart of Central Ohio. Originally hailing from Southeast Ohio, I've been on this photography journey for a whopping 16 years!

With over 180 weddings under my belt in the past 5 years alone, I've zigzagged across our beautiful state capturing love stories in every corner. My photography style? It's all about keeping things natural, spontaneous, and oh-so cinematic - just like your love story!

Fun fact: I'm a self-taught photographer - yep, I dove headfirst into this world armed with passion and a whole lot of determination. I'm equal parts outgoing and introspective, which helps me snag those genuine, heart-fluttering moments that you'll cherish forever.

Curious about what makes me tick and sets me apart from the crowd? Well, buckle up, buttercup! Let's dive into the magic behind the lens and how we can create some jaw-dropping memories together.

Client Testimonials

  • Our officiant recommended Stephanie to us and I can't thank her enough.

    She’s fantastic, I added an additional hour to our package the day before the wedding and she was so flexible about it and it just lifted a weight off my shoulders. Her and Faith were so helpful the day of working with our videographer on the wedding party, detail and family photos. By far my favorite thing she did though, was before she left at the end of the night she surprised us with a little photo book of Polaroid shots she snuck in throughout the day. They were beautiful and perfect and I’ll cherish them for the rest of my life!

  • All in all, Stephanie was so incredible and I am obsessed with our wedding photos. I highly recommend booking Stephanie!

    ~Beth B.

  • Stephanie is hands down the best investment we made when planning our wedding.

    She was only a message away whenever we had any questions and made the whole process easy, including when we had to postpone a year due to COVID. She is so enjoyable to be around and so good at what she does. We got our pictures back and the one thing our guests consistently said when we posted them was how amazing and talented our photographer was. Don’t wait! Book her!

  • We were so fortunate to find Stephanie for our engagement and wedding photos!

    She is professional, fun, and so talented. I cannot speak more highly of her--every session we do with Stephanie is efficient, comfortable, and we ALWAYS end up with beautiful photos. Our entire wedding party is ready to hire her for their own family and event photos, as is our family. She somehow makes the (usually tedious, awkward) posed family and friend photos go quickly, and everyone had genuine smiles on their faces because of her upbeat and funny personality. We used an UNEDITED photo for our thank you cards after our wedding, as well as an edited wedding photo for Christmas cards, and people can't stop gushing about both, months later. I just cannot recommend her enough! Book her now--she is a busy lady, and there's no way that's going to slow down given her work and talent!
