love stories told in style
St. Louis Wedding photographer
for emotive, documentary-style wedding photography on film & digital
You want your wedding to be different, intimate, and real. Documentary-style photos are ones that document an experience, a journey, a moment in time, faithfully yet with an artistic flair. I help creative couples craft an artful, alternative wedding with emotive, natural photography that perfectly reflects your vibe and tells the story of your whole day. I use a combination of guided prompts to highlight your love and a fly-on-the-wall approach to capture all the intimate joy and the small moments you could blink and miss.
With a low-maintenance, high-emotion style, I'm there to show you actually experiencing and enjoying the best day of your life, and create holistic, storied images that document that feeling.

recent work
I'm a St. Louis-based documentary photographer specializing in elopements, destination weddings, and intimate couple photoshoots in the US and Europe. I don't just take pictures; I aim to capture the warmth, authenticity, and emotion of your story. My style is cinematic, nostalgic, and emotive. I passionately believe that your photos can be both refined and candid—you don't have to choose! Whether it's an elopement in your dream destination or an intimate wedding with your loved ones, my goal is simple: to document your moments so that the feeling of being there is captured forever.
Let's tell your story like the work of art it is.
Hi there, I'm Stacey.
"We cannot recommend her highly enough! From our initial inquiry to the delivery of the final photos, Stacey was an absolute joy to work with...Her creativity truly shone through in every shot. We were blown away by her ability to capture the love and happiness we feel for each other."
"The final photos were nothing short of magical."
"Stacey was incredible. She was professional, friendly, and encouraging, with lots of ideas on poses and movements, that allowed us to relax and helped us get the best photos possible. Stacey put a lot of effort into researching and planning the various locations for our shoot before the day. Stacey captured us as a couple well, and
"the photos felt romantic, candid, cinematic, and truly representative of us."
"Her eye for aesthetics, storytelling, and creativity are evident within every shot she delivers. On top of her skill with the camera, her warmth and friendliness will set anyone at ease. We are so pleased with how our shoot went and the photos we received!"
"Stacey is a delight to work with!"
"Stacey did an incredible job taking our pictures. She captured our relationship beautifully, and we were so thrilled with the result!"
"Highly recommend!"
Hailey & Koh
"Stacey captured my little family so well! Both my husband and I are awkward about having our pictures taken, but stacey helped us feel at ease. She even got a bunch of great pictures of our pup during the shoot! We all know how it can be to get a puppy to sit still and pay attention..."
"We loved the results!"
