WEDDING INVESTMENT
WELCOME! �
“Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph.” -Matt Hardy
Welcome! Thank you SO much for your interest! I hope you find this investment guide helpful as you plan for your sweet and sacramental day. I’m Stephanie Messick, a photographer based in Warrenton, Virginia where my soul feels right at home, surrounded by rural living. I genuinely love what I do and feel so passionate to share the enthusiasm and joy with others! Spending time with my couples has allowed me to capture their true essence, from the soft and natural moments to the sincere smiles and laughs. My favorite part of photographing any occasion are the unscripted, authentic, in between moments. But don’t worry when it comes to our “portrait time” together, I won’t leave you hanging! I believe in making you feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera. That starts with getting to know you throughout our time together and guiding you through flattering poses. When I’m not behind my camera, I enjoy breathtaking mountain views, relaxing on the beach, hiking, road tripping, wine dates with friends (want to join?!), warm blankets fresh from the dryer, Nutella (my workouts balance it out in my diet ;), attending JMU football games (Go Dukes!), quality time with family, decorating, and cuddling with my fur babies, Ollie and Pixie! I appreciate your time and hope we have the chance to meet and start building a friendship! Stephanie Messick
the
WEDDING EXPERIENCE When it comes to connections with my couples, it’s important that I’m not just “another vendor,” but instead a friend helping celebrate the special occasion. From the tears to the smiles and laughs, I’m there to document and share the emotions. No two weddings or sessions are exactly alike, so it’s an incredible honor to document something so unique and personal to you! When it comes to the wedding day, the role of a wedding photographer can be a very intimate position. So before the wedding day, I make sure to help my couples as much as possible to relieve any stressful planning moments. From selecting an ideal engagement location to outfit choices to a wedding photo timeline and tips/advice, I want to be a dependable and trustworthy resource! So many of my couples have inspired me, professionally and personally, and I love that we continue to stay connected beyond the wedding day! I look forward to hearing from you and see if we are a good fit!
