About Stephanie Pardo Photography

Stephanie Pardo Photography

I’m a documentary-style wedding photographer

Originally from Colombia, I now call California home! I knew this passion was more than a hobby, so I pursued a degree in production photography and after graduating I decided that it was time for me to start fresh here in the United States. Upon moving here I immediately became captivated by helping others capture their most wonderful memories, especially during what might be one of the most important moments in their lives- their wedding!

I'm passionate about helping couples create a wedding that prioritizes your own experience I love pay attention to the details, I am a very perfectionist when it comes to editing, My worst flaw is over-delivering photos, but I think my clients love it!

  • Very Disappointed With The Experience

    We found Stephanie Pardo on the Bay Area photographer group and used her for our City Hall wedding photos. We did go through her portfolio first and things looked good. However, the experience was definitely not. Many things went wrong for us: 1) She did not edit any of the photos before sending it to us so we actually had a lot of random bystanders. She said that was sent by mistake and "fixed" it, but there wasn't much improvement. The photo we have in City Hall showed 2 other couples and a few bystanders.. you can't tell who's who. That should NOT have been a final product to send to us. 2) We weren't centered in most of the pictures. I'm struggling to do the printed photo frames because the centering relative to the background is very jarring. We were not positioned well for the shots. 3) A lot of shots are missing/she only took 1-2 shots and they didn't turn out well. My eyes were probably closed or half closed for most of the shots for all I know. We know she took more shots but we didn't receive everything. Could've sworn we did a group photo with everyone but that wasn't available either. Weird... considering that's a critical shot with your loved ones. 4) Piggybacking off #3 where she isn't attentive to details. My soon-to-be wife's veil wasn't fully seated half the time AND my shoelace was untied for part of it. She could've given us a heads up especially when we're relying on her for the photos. There were maybe very MINIMAL guidance on angles and poses so we came out looking very stiff in many photos. 5) We waited for our photos then saw she had actually posted us in her IG profile along with our names. We're 100% fine if she were to use our photos but we would've appreciate a heads up first. We didn't want our names used either. It also would've been nice if we had received our photos first and maybe had a chance to share it ourselves before she posted us on her own IG. 6) Communication was flakey. We had to double text to get responses. Felt like we were bothering her when we're only getting confirmations. Her portfolio pictures are way better than the ones she did for us especially when it comes to positioning the couples, framing the shots, and editing to remove obvious bystanders. Very bummed out about the whole ordeal. I was originally not going to post this review, but going through all the photos to send to our loved ones.. really made me upset about what we received. We paid a good amount of money and still had a lot of editing to do on our own just to make it presentable. At least remove the obvious bystanders??? We can't even fix the one where we weren't centered properly. City Hall is beautiful, but this was all wasted. I'm happy other people are very pleased with their experience. Our photos seem to be very low effort especially how we're not really centered in them relative to the background.. how she gave us the photos with people obviously in the background (she attempted to correct after we commented on it). But yeah.. wouldn't wish this on anyone else.

    Response from vendorDec 18, 2024
    First of all, thank you for sharing your feedback. I truly appreciate your honesty it was never my intention, and I’d love to address your concerns point by point: - It was a mistake to upload the wrong photos; I later uploaded the corrected ones. Please let me know which photos you’re referring to where there are other couples and it’s unclear who is who. I don’t see any like that in the gallery. 2) I’m looking through the gallery, and all the photos are appropriately centered. SF City Hall is a beautiful building, and I don’t always place my couples in the center to showcase the architecture. However, this doesn’t mean the composition of the photo is poor. Please let me know which specific photos you feel are not properly centered. 3) I delivered 130 photos, as stated in our contract, which specified 80-100 photos so nothing is missing. I reviewed my raw files and can confirm that I didn’t find any photo where everyone is gathered together. Regarding your eyes, please let me know which specific photos you’re referring to. I just went through the gallery in detail and didn’t find any where your eyes are closed. 4) Apologies for not noticing those small details. In the photos, I couldn’t find any where your shoelace appears untied. As for the bride’s veil, it looked perfect to me, and I wasn’t aware of how she specifically wanted it adjusted. However, I truly appreciate the feedback, and I’ll keep this in mind for future sessions. 5) I apologize for not informing you beforehand about posting the photos on Instagram. I understand that I sent the gallery to you before posting, but I also want to mention that our contract states the following: “The Photographer reserves the right to use the photographs for promotional purposes, including on their website and social media, and to submit the photographs for publication in photography competitions or publications.” Based on this, there was no issue with sharing the photos. However, I do apologize for mentioning names without your consent. 6) I apologize for my delayed communication, it was wedding season, and I was extremely busy. I’m sorry for the negative experience you had when receiving your photos. I’ll review the gallery in detail to address the people in the background. SF City Hall is always very busy, and it’s quite challenging to remove every person from every photo, but I sincerely apologize for this issue again. The photos were beautiful, but yes, there may have been editing mistakes. I apologize once again for that and am more than willing to re-edit the photos to ensure you have a better experience, please email me the specific photos you feel are not properly centered so I can make corrections. Thank you!

    Stephanie is a great professional. My husband and I hired her for our wedding book pictures couple in Chicago city; we wanted a casual style and pictures representing our personality and love. Stephanie has a great sense of people, which makes it easy for us to pose and enjoy our time during the shooting. She was on time and took extra time since, during the session, we came up with more ideas. We got the pictures shortly, and she kept us in the loop for changes or editing. I have another session booked with her for our first baby.
