Hi, I'm Steffanie!

I am a fine art couples and elopement photographer currently serving Joshua Tree CA and the surrounding area! I will be relocating to Jacksonville North Carolina in 2026.


I have been working magic behind the lens since 2012, and I earned my BFA in Photography from Arizona State University in 2020.


I have a passion for capturing couples. I think there is something so deeply special about love.
