This is my why. My marriage has formed me, our children have shaped me. I believe that our everyday is worth documenting, and our wedding day worth revisiting again and again. And I believe the exact same thing about you. Because in many many years, true photographs of yourself and the people you love will be priceless treasures.
My name is Stephanie Lyell. I have been photographing weddings and families for 15 years and been married the same amount of time. I have met amazing people, witnessed many stories, seen the joys, even some of the heartaches. Every year I am as excited as the last to see who I will meet, and what kind of meaning-filled stories we will tell together.
Film and digital photography are the tools I have chosen. With each session you will get a mixture of mediums. Film adds an unmatched nostaligic and beautiful quality that I have fallen more and more in love with over the last few years. Digital has been my workhorse that has allowed me to shoot fast and free allowing me to capture many beautiful, funny, quirky moments - both add to the story I am telling.
Stephanie here. Photography has seen me through many things, years as an angsty teenager, falling in love as a college student, and the wonder-filled days of motherhood. It’s a means of expression, of remembrance, a way to write poetry out of the beauty I see in the world.
A few things about me - I am a huge extrovert. I love getting to know new people, which is probably why this job has been such a good fit for my soul. Every time a new person opens up their heart to us and allows us to make images of their story - a little spark lights up inside. A do love a good cup of coffee. I honestly feel so happy when I am across the table from a human I love, hands wrapped around a warm mug with steam pouring out. I like old country music, bluegrass, and singer-songwriters who pour out their souls through lyrics and notes. A day in the woods or walking around the city are days well spent in my book, I love to get out and explore.
The two things that mean the most to me - my faith in Jesus and my family. There is great meaning and beauty in them both and I will spend my life putting them on the highest pedestal.
