About Steph Smith Photo

Steph Smith Photo

Photographer

I started learning photography in my high school's darkroom. I was there so much, they gave me my own key so I could come in on weekends. In the mid-aughts, I brought my art kid sensibilities to Brooklyn, and here’s been home ever since. In true New York fashion, I’ve had many jobs— but photography's been my full-time focus for more than a decade. Just me, a concerning number of cameras, and my cat. I'm going to take photos anyway, so some of them should really be of you. While I duly rely on the miracle that is digital, I remain grounded in the discipline of analog. I love incorporating film photography for my clients wherever I can.

My intention is to use my 15+ years of wedding experience to ease your entire wedding photography process. From our first conversation, to your wedding day, and everything on the lead-up. Your engagement session, your day-of photography timeline, how to prep your getting ready suites, the best spots at your venue for your first look, gentle guidance for natural posing, the smoothest family photo session you ever did experience, printing your heirlooms… Rest in the relief that all of the above and so much more will be either a fun collaboration, or off your plate, entirely.

Steph is the BEST!

We are so incredibly grateful we had Steph as our photographer for our intimate wedding at Lundy Farm. From the first conversation, Steph just got us. We weren’t looking for anything overly posed or dramatic — we wanted photos that felt natural, warm, and true to the day. She captured the rustic beauty of Lundy Farm perfectly, from the soft light in the fields to the cozy charm of the house. Every image feels genuine and full of emotion. What meant the most to us was how comfortable Steph made everyone feel. Small weddings can feel extra personal, and she blended in so effortlessly while still catching every meaningful glance, laugh, and happy tear. Nothing felt forced or awkward. She gave us just enough guidance when we needed it, but mostly let us be ourselves — and that made all the difference. Our golden-hour portraits are absolutely stunning and some of our favorite photos we’ve ever taken. And when we received our full gallery, we were honestly blown away. She captured so many little in-between moments that we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through the photos truly feels like reliving the entire day. If you’re looking for a photographer, book Steph. She is talented, kind, professional, and genuinely cares about the people she’s photographing. We couldn’t imagine our day without her, and we’ll treasure these photos forever.
The bestest!!!

We truly had the most amazing experience with Steph as our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, she understood exactly what we wanted — candid, intimate, in-the-moment photos that felt real and unposed. And that’s exactly what she delivered. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day. She captured all the little moments — the quiet glances, the bursts of laughter, the in-between seconds you don’t even realize are happening — and somehow froze them in time. Nothing feels staged. Every photo feels alive. Her style is artsy and fun without ever trying too hard. She completely captured the essence of our Brooklyn wedding — from our backyard ceremony filled with those who are closest to us to the most fun party that followed at our favorite dive bar. The photos feel like us. If you’re looking for someone who can document your wedding in a way that feels authentic, emotional, and effortlessly cool, Steph is it. We couldn’t be happier.
Amazing Day Thanks to Steph!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From start to finish, Steph was warm, organized, and genuinely invested in capturing our day. Her pricing was refreshingly affordable, yet the quality of her work is *chefs kiss*. She kept our timeline on track, helped everyone feel at ease, and somehow made the whole process fun instead of stressful. The best surprise was the sneak‑peek gallery she sent us within a week! We’re beyond pleased with her talent and professionalism, and we’d recommend her to any couple looking for stunning photos and a smooth, stress‑free experience.

Stephanie did an amazing job at our wedding. She blended in seamlessly with the crowd, making guests feel warm and comfortable as she photographed them. The same goes for us; it felt fun and natural to be shot by her. She was also always quick and efficient when responding to emails and messages.
