Becca + Neal | Cape May, New Jersey

t h e s t o r y o f b e c c a a n d n e a l

Despite growing up in neighboring towns, Neal and Becca orbited each other for years before finding one another. With mutual friends throughout high school, Neal and Becca only knew of one another long before developing their own friendship. This began to bloom after graduation, during summers between college semesters. Neal first caught Becca’s eye as having the potential of being more than a friend at a pool party, where she was heard to remark, “...and who knew Neal had a bod?”. 

After graduating college and returning to their hometowns, Becca and Neal spent nearly every day together, their romance growing slowly and naturally from their strong commitment of friendship. Now after over ten years, the bonds of their love and friendship remain stronger than ever -- fortified by their long history celebrating victories and sustaining each other through tragedy.

Emily + Mike | Long Beach Island

Michael and I met a long time ago.  Our families were wrestling and field hockey friends. Mike wrestled at Rider University and I played field hockey at Indiana University. My dad was a long time wrestling coach at Rancocas Valley HS and his mom was the Executive Director of USA Field Hockey.  

Our paths crossed quite a bit. We connected through my youngest brother. It was his senior year in high school and Mike wanted to get updates on his matches. We eventually met up at the historical NJSIAA HS State Wrestling Tournament in Atlantic City. After watching wrestling all day we danced to Brown Eyed Girl at the Bally’s Casino. From that moment on we knew our connection was more than wrestling. Not you average romance story,  but it is ours. Wrestling has been a part of our lives since we were born. 

Michael proposed at our first date location in Beach Haven New Jersey at the Engleside Inn Restaurant on Christmas Eve. Whenever we eat there now it’s a friendly reminder of where we began. 

Mike and I have had the it factor since day one. He may or may not know this but I was so in love right when we met. When our families connected that was it. Mike is home for me just as much as New Jersey is. ♥️

Brittney + Ressie | Hamilton Manor | Hamilton NJ

How did he propose? : “It was at my nephews preschool graduation party, with all of my family. He put the ring box in my nephew’s legos because my nephew always asks me to help him build lego houses. So just like any other time, my nephew pulled out the legos and we were building away. My nephew picked up the ring box and was playing with it and said “what is this?!” I looked at it, turned around and saw Ressie on one knee.”

Sarah + DJ | Eagle Manor | Fairton NJ

“I really can’t say enough good things about having Stephanie as my photographer for my wedding day!! Her photos speak for themselves [they are amazing!!] but what you don’t see from the photos is how amazing Stephanie is to work with. She made the entire day, and experience go so smoothly! She made me, DJ, all my friends, and family feel so at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. [I know because they all told me multiple times after the wedding how much they loved working with Stephanie!] Stephanie was so organized and professional to work with but also felt like a friend who was meant to be part of the day. She made us laugh and kept it fun [even if it was freezing cold and 30mph winds], she even put up with the groomsmans silly antics [trying to include a creepy doll in our wedding photos] without missing a beat. I seriously couldn’t have picked a better photographer for our wedding day!!” -Sarah R

Rebecca + Ben | Indian Springs Country Club | Marlton NJ

“I feel like I made a friend through Stephanie. Not only did she make me feel so comfortable and beautiful, she also made Ben feel right at home. She did an amazing job throughout the day! There was a little confusion on transportation and SHE drove not only me but MY MOM to the venue too! My heart felt so happy at that moment! I knew she was something different than any other photographer I’ve ever met! She was understand of our wants from the day. My girl, just right on the dance floor with us! 

My family couldn’t get enough of her. Even days after the wedding, my family is still talking about Stephanie. everyone single person who saw her working was obsessed & I don’t blame them! I was so taken back, she was organized, friendly, bubbly. She make us laugh, cry [good tears obvi], literally everything under the sun!

But outside of all this, she was just such a kind hearted & caring individual! I mean she helped my mom fix my dress, when it magically broke out of nowhere. I couldn’t ask for a better person? You just can’t. She’s perfect! “ -Rebecca S

“She’s truly in a class of her own” -Ben S

Deana + Drew | Terrain Cafe | Glen Mills Pennsylvania

“We want to start this by giving a huge thank you to Stephanie and Madison for photographing our wedding. From our very first meeting, we knew Stephanie had the right vision and style for the rustic Terrain wedding we were planning. Stephanie stayed in touch during the planning process which made us feel supported up until the big day. The morning of the wedding both girls fit right in at our parent's houses, capturing the feel of family and excitement. Our first look was arranged perfectly and we truly cannot wait to see our pictures to relive the entire day. Stephanie was incredibly professional but at the same time had us laughing throughout the day.  Both sides of the wedding party commented on how much of a perfect fit she was. Stephanie, you really exceeded our expectations and we really cannot thank you enough! We highly recommend Stephanie as a wedding photographer. She was incredible! xoxo, Deana and Drew”

Melanie + Ryan | Jackson Lake Lodge | Grand Teton National Park | Wyoming

Stephanie has been my cousin's best friend for a life time. She is very familiar with my family having captured two of my [other] cousin's weddings. I've watched her work develop over the years and it has gotten so amazing that as soon as we got engaged I just knew she had to be our photographer. It was the one expense we were willing to go all out for and we are beyond glad we did. She came out to Wyoming to photograph our National Park wedding and even though the weather didn't cooperate, we know she still got fantastic shots. Stephanie was amazing the whole day, hitting all the key pictures even though she was flying solo! My mom made a comment that when she saw something she thought would be a great picture, she would turn to Stephanie already snapping away. She was on the floor with us all night, dancing and catching all these cherished [and some inappropriate] memories. She was exactly what we wanted as a photographer and I wouldn't trade her work for anything. We will absolutely use her again for all the years to come. -Melanie R
