Awarded Best of Zola
When Annie and I booked him, we had full intentions to have him do our wedding. We put down the deposit, and then things went sideways financially. We unfortunately had to go back to him and cancel. My fiancé was devastated, so I reached out to him, and asked if he could do a quick hour shoot, like an engagement session. He was very quick to reply, and get us on the schedule. He was so kind and understanding, I truly wish we could have him for our wedding, but I am grateful he was willing to work with us. I know my wife-to-be and I are going to cherish those pictures forever.

I am from a small town in North Carolina. I grew up being in front of a camera doing pageants and modeling. I know what it is like to have no direction at a photoshoot and leave disappointed. I strive to never make anyone feel this way when they leave a session and certainly not on your wedding day. I coach you and help pose you so that you do not feel or look awkward. Photos are not only about how you look, but also the memories that go along with them. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me hanging out with my husband and two kids.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding venue owner we see many photographers here. Stephanie Small is one of our favorites. She captures the beautiful scenery along with the love each couple shares. One of the most important elements you want to consider when selecting a photographer is can she or he do a fabulous job quickly so you don’t miss out on your reception. We are always impressed that Stephanie and her assistants work so efficiently and produce amazing photos. She also has a well organized gallery of photos for the bride & groom.
