"I can't believe I am just now getting around to writing a review about Stephanie. She is AH-MAZING! Our wedding was last November and I couldn't be happier with our pictures. We actually won an engagement session with Stephanie back in 2015 and she gave us the same treatment she would have with a paying customer. Stephanie is a very kind, warm hearted person with a very talented eye. We were so happy with our engagement picture results that we KNEW we had to have Stephanie as our wedding photographer. She takes the time to get to know you and really understand your wedding day vision. She was very knowledgeable about the right time to take photos. For example, she reminded us that with a fall wedding date, it would get dark early, which helped us create our timeline. I had full faith in her photography and direction and didn't have to worry about a single thing on the day of. She took charge of situations (like my brother running late to photographs, and an antsy shuttle driver) and stuck to our family portrait list to keep us on track! I am so happy we chose Stephanie and have the beautiful images we do today to remind us of our most memorable day. As a graphic designer I have a keen eye to quality images, and the way Stephanie uses natural light is amazing. I've had two friends now use Stephanie for family photos or children's birthday parties because they know her results are great and returned within a reasonable amount of time. I'm sure we'll have more images from Stephanie in the years to come! I literally could go on, and on, and on about her. You will be very happy with the talent, knowledge, flexibility, and love that Stephanie provides in her work."

"Stephanie is truly the BEST photographer! She was my sister's photographer for her wedding and I fell in love with the pictures so I knew I wanted her to be mine at my wedding! I had a great experience during both our engagement photos and wedding photos! She is so nice, caring and was always available when needed! Stephanie made my wedding day go by so smoothly as she is so organized and knows all the poses to do without us having to suggest any! I would definitely recommend her!! We can't thank her enough for capturing our special day!”

"Stephanie did family photos for our family of 5 plus two dogs and did a fantastic job! She was calm and came with a lot of creative ideas, which put my kids at ease and made it a pleasant experience for all. She was flexible and included special shots and backgrounds that had significance for us… she even made the dogs smile :) The number of useable photos and the quality of the photos we chose were second to none. We will definitely be using Stephanie for our family portraits going forward! Thank you!"

"Stephanie is an outstanding photographer who is professional and personable.  She took both high school senior pictures and dance photos of my daughter this past fall. It was such a bonus that Stephanie is also an experienced dance photographer, as she captured such beautiful photos of my daughter that I will treasure forever.  Stephanie’s talent in photography shines in each photo. She has also taken beautiful dance portraits of my other daughter at a local dance studio.  I am so grateful that I can look back and treasure the memories forever through these photos.  I highly recommend Stephanie Barnes Photography."

"I don't even know where to start when it comes to Stephanie. We were completely WOWED by her and the quality of the pictures and service that we received. I was a Bride that wanted answers right when I had them and Stephanie always quickly responded to my emails with detailed answers to my many questions. We first did the engagement session that came with our package and we were in love with all of the pictures. This was both my husband and I's first time really doing something like this so we were nervous. Stephanie did a great job at making us not feel awkward :) Leading up to the wedding Stephanie met with me when I needed and we planned out a whole timeline of how the wedding day would go. She made sure this timeline was up to me and that it included all the detail I wanted for my day. On our actual wedding day we got caught in a storm outside the statehouse and I was freaking out that we got so behind schedule but she was calm and made me know it was going to be ok. Once we got through the storm and back into the statehouse everything went smoothly from there! She made sure I had all the pictures I wanted and assured me that everything would be fine. We received our wedding pictures so quickly and we were happy with every single one of them!! Stephanie even met up with me to give me my pictures in person because I preferred that over having them sent in the mail. My husband and I will definitely be using Stephanie in the future when we have a family and need more portraits! Her beautiful pictures and her kindness is amazing we feel very lucky that we found her and were able to have her be a part of our wedding day!"

Testimonials

"Stephanie puts time and thought into every picture. She has a real eye for backgrounds and angles. My favorite pictures have backgrounds that she noticed when we were out at other locations. Things I never would have thought of and they are great!

Stephanie got pictures of everything. The party favors, the cake, the guest book, the card box, centerpieces, programs, ….everything. To be honest I don’t know how she had time to take all these pictures. I found Stephanie online by her photos and recommendations. Her pictures speak for themselves and all her reviews were great. What you are not able to read or see is the type of person she is. She cares about her clients and making sure she captures their wedding day. If you are looking for a photographer I couldn’t imagine being able to recommend anyone better than Stephanie."

Lauren (Bride)

"Stephanie was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! She was very organized and detail oriented throughout the planning process of our wedding which made everything so easy.

She was cool, calm, and collected during the wedding day (even though she was due any day!!) and helped us feel at ease throughout our wedding day. We were so pleased with her photos and she even posted sneak peaks the day right after our wedding! We would recommend Stephanie to any couple looking for a photographer for their wedding in the Columbus, Ohio area."

"Stephanie did an amazing for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah weekend. I highly recommend Stephanie Barnes Photography for any special occasion. I was extremely pleased with how all of the photos turned out. Stephanie has a great eye, and she is very professional and easy to work with for any photography needs. She was accommodating to our schedule for the weekend- very punctual and flexible. I would not hesitate to work with Stephanie  again for our future family events."

Alyssa S. (Bat Mitzvah)

"Stephanie was found by friends after some recommendations- we had a small non-traditional ceremony that had a somewhat loose schedule and she was so accommodating considering this. We then went to the State House for pics and the way the pics are composed you would never know that's where we took the pics. She was easy to work with and me and my husband actually enjoyed taking the pics (which we don't normally do) she gave great direction that was easy to execute and everyone says the pics are beautiful and most importantly natural! Also as a black person with darker skin she did an amazing job!"

Ndede (Bride)

"Stephanie was the photographer at our wedding this past Memorial Day. All of the pictures were incredible and Stephanie was really easy to work with. Personally, I find myself to be really stiff when taking pictures but Stephanie gave great direction and made the whole experience both easy and fun. We have 1,000+ amazing photos from our wedding and my wife and I could not be more happy with Stephanie's work. She was a joy to work with and I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer for their special day! "
