Arizona & Destination Wedding Photographer
About
Photography has introduced me to incredible people, taken me to beautiful places, and given me the opportunity to document stories I'll never take for granted. After more than a decade behind the camera, I've learned that my role extends far beyond creating beautiful photographs. It's about building trust, offering guidance when it's needed, and creating an experience that allows you to be fully present throughout your wedding day. The photographs will become part of your story, but my hope is that the experience of creating them feels just as memorable.
Helping couples feel present while preserving the moments they'll never want to forget.
Hi, I’m Stephney!
Photography has taken me from celebrations throughout Arizona to weddings and unforgettable moments across the country. Every couple, location, and celebration has taught me something new and shaped the photographer I am today.
No matter where your story takes us, my goal is to bring a calm, confident presence to your day so you can enjoy every moment knowing the memories that matter are being taken care of. More than anything, it’s an honor to be trusted with documenting moments that mean so much.
Wherever Your Story Takes You
When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll usually find me planning my next adventure, traveling somewhere new, or bringing people together through Assyrian Adventures, a community I founded to connect others through travel and the outdoors. My faith is at the center of my life, and I cherish spending time with my husband, family, and friends while staying active and appreciating life's simple moments.
A heart transplant also became part of my story and changed the way I see life. It gave me a deeper appreciation for every day and serves as a constant reminder not to take the people and moments around us for granted.

A few things that have shaped who I am
a few fun facts
Receiving a heart transplant changed the way I see life. It reminded me that time with the people we love is one of our greatest gifts, and that the moments we often overlook become the ones we treasure most. That perspective became even more meaningful after my own wedding. When I look back through our photographs, I'm reminded of the hugs from family, the laughter with friends, the quiet moments with my husband, and the people who filled the room that day. Those photographs allow me to revisit memories that can never be recreated. That's why every wedding I photograph means so much to me. Beyond creating beautiful images, my hope is to preserve the moments that will one day become your most treasured memories, allowing you to relive not only how your wedding day looked, but exactly how it felt.
Some of life's most meaningful moments only happen once. They deserve to be remembered that way.
