Hi friend! I'm Stacey. I'm a film & digital photographer and I help creative couples craft an artful, alternative wedding in historic cities like London, NYC, and Paris, so you can dream big for the most romantic day of your life. I'm all about candid, filmy photos that perfectly reflect your vibe, and creating a full-service, customized elopement experience for you with a French-speaking former expat and European travel expert.
I'm a city girl at heart; I've always felt more alive when I'm exploring a new city with beautiful architecture, culture, and history. I passionately believe that a beautiful elopement or destination wedding doesn't have to include hiking. I help couples like me who are *ahem* less than outdoorsy have the intimate celebration of their dreams with all the cool vibes they're dreaming of! Who ever said you have to go into the woods to have a cool elopement?
Your perfect elopement doesn't need a mountaintop, just the magic of the city. So let's trade the trail for skyline views! I can't wait to get to know you!

Meet Your Photographer

My goal is to help couples get married in the cities of their dreams, no matter where they're based!
Let's get into it.
My approach
relaxed // intentional // Personal

With me you are never just another photography client, and I care deeply that you feel comfortable with me and trust me to tell your story in a beautiful way. I'll use my expert knowledge of getting around cities to help you plan your perfect elopement or destination wedding, whether that's in Paris or London (my second homes), Amsterdam or the Cliffs of Moher. I consider myself full-service when planning elopements—I'll help you do everything except the actual officiating (because I want to be snapping your gorgeous photos!!)

full service planning curated for your needs & values, every step of the way
unique & artful photography focused on emotion and authenticity

Elopement packages & Pricing
I passionately believe that an elopement is just as much of a celebration as a traditional wedding, and your elopement should be as unique and personal as your love story. It doesn't have to be just a 15 minute ordeal—you deserve to be celebrated and have a day full of meaning and memories just like any other wedding. I want to capture the real emotion and intimate moments that make your love story special. My US elopement packages are designed to help you truly make a statement with your elopement, with every experience you want and nothing you don't on your day, so you can celebrate your commitment to your person and know those memories are being preserved forever!
Imagine eloping in the enchanting streets of Paris or the historic landmarks of London. I specialize in capturing the essence of your destination elopement with a refined, documentary style that highlights the unique charm of each location and captures you having the best day of your life, authentically. My destination packages are crafted to provide a seamless, completely personalized experience, allowing you to focus on your love and your adventure. From the romance of European cities to other urban gems across the globe, I want to ensure your elopement is a beautifully told story that reflects and celebrates you, with none of the fluff or stress you don't want!

meet
Let's get acquainted! We'll start with a friendly chat, either in person or virtually. This is where we'll discuss your vision, preferences, and any questions you may have, to make sure that working together is a perfect fit!
Once you're all in, I'll send you over a contract and a retainer invoice to hold your date on my calendar, and we'll start planning timelines and logistics with my expert guidance and vendor resources.

shoot
Now comes the fun part - the elopement itself! I'm there with you to capture every tender moment, belly laugh, and incredible experience that will make up your day.
After the shoot, I'll carefully curate and edit the images to perfection. Once they're ready, I'll deliver them to you in within 4-6 weeks in an online gallery for you to share and enjoy forever.

"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!"
You want a different kind of wedding day. You're not about the same old wedding planning stressors. You want an intimate and customized wedding experience that reflects your personality and can truly be the best day ever for you.
You're adventurous and love cities, just like me!
You've always dreamed of getting married in the most romantic city in the world, but you don't need or want all the luxury trappings.
You've seen other kinds of photography and it just doesn't feel like you.
You want something creative that stands out from the crowd.
You're not after something boring and simple, you want something that captures attention and inspires emotion.
You love both candid moments and cinematic scenes.
You want images that evoke everything you were feeling in that moment.
You don't want pictures that sit on a hard drive somewhere and are never looked at again.
You want beautiful pictures, but you also want to have some fun, too!
If any of that resonates with you, I got you! I'm the same way, and my photography style reflects that. I aim to capture all the slice-of-life moments as well as the true emotions, so that years later, when you're looking back at the pages of your well-worn photo album, your cheeks hurt from smiling and your heart feels all the feelings as if it were yesterday. I work one-to-one with my clients to plan their perfect day, designed specifically for their values and aligned to what's important to them for their wedding.
It's the honor of my life to get to photograph your unique moment in time with my camera, and I can't wait to get to be a tiny part of your story! I offer various pricing options and session lengths, so you can get amazing photos that fit your budget and are truly worth the investment. Contact me to get more information on pricing packages and add-ons.
Why work with me? If this sounds like you...
Yay! I can't wait to get planning with you! Just shoot me an email if you haven't already, and I'll get all info on the next steps sent over to you :)
I'm ready to book!
What next?
I looooove to shoot film! It's the aesthetic I aim for in my digital work, but there's nothing quite like real film photos! I primarily shoot 35mm film. I can shoot film in addition to digital images for $75/roll, and many of my packages have film included. This includes fees for the roll itself and developing. I can't wait to create some truly one-of-a-kind pictures with you!
Do you shoot film?
I'm based in Missouri but will absolutely join you on your adventure anywhere in the world! Travel fees are included in my package pricing for elopement packages, and a flat travel fee applies for weddings >4 hours driving distance away from St. Louis, MO. Just inquire about your location if you want more details on that!
Do you travel?
The earlier the better! It will help you lock in your date, especially for the busy season from April-October. I usually recommend booking a minimum of 6 months in advance of your date, to allow for booking travel, lodging, and activity logistics. For non-wedding sessions, I require a minimum of 2 weeks advance in advance of your desired date in order to prepare and plan for your shoot. Get in touch with me via my contact form to start the process and get more info!
