Stephanie Vadnais Photography

super funny and light-hearted and reminded me to breathe and that everything would work out. She assured me that we would handle anything that came up and that it would all be okay, and it totally was. As a bride, your mind always manages to come up with all the worst possible things that could go wrong, and Stephanie managed it all in stride, continuously calming me down throughout the day and providing comfort I didn't even realize I needed. She and Chelise worked amazingly well together and Chelise handled the boys like a champ. I cannot imagine having had anyone else with me throughout that day. Thank you, Stephanie!

table right away. She brought us samples of her work, which I loved seeing in person. She worked with us to take pictures where we wanted and she had a lot of great ideas for us as well. She is experienced and knows what she’s doing! It was easy to trust her and let her do her thing! I would highly recommend Stephanie for anyone’s wedding photographer. Our pictures turned out amazing!! We had a second photographer as well, Jenna. She was a rockstar as well! Both ladies worked great together and were very professional and organized. I’m so in love with my engagement and wedding pictures!! Thanks Stephanie and Jenna!!

She was so prepared and creative! She made it all feel natural, so that the pictures weren't really posed or uncomfortable. We look forward to continuing to recommend her to friends, family, etc., and even use her services for family shoots etc. in the future!

y which was September 22 and had a "feels like" temp of 100 degrees!! First off -I highly recommend doing engagement photos. My husband and I weren't planning on it, but I'm so glad we did. We were able to meet Stephanie, feel comfortable in front of the camera, and learn what kind of photos we liked and didn't like so we didn't waste time at our wedding! As for our wedding - looking at our photos, you would have no idea how incredibly hot it was. There are so many adorable little candid moments that she captured that are some of my favorite photos. She did such a great job organizing my family and giving direction. Leading up to the wedding, Stephanie was very communicative and answered any and all of my questions, putting my mind at ease. We got a preview so quickly after the wedding that I didn't even think to look once we got back from our weekend "mini moon"! It was great seeing a handful of photos that quickly. I spoke to A LOT of photographers because having great photos was the most important part of our wedding day for me - it's the only thing (besides your dress!) that you'll have once your big day is over - and I could not be anymore grateful that I found Stephanie. One of my BM friends is even using her now for her wedding because she loved our photos so much! I could go on and on, but I promise that you will not be disappointed if you hire Stephanie! I cannot wait to have her photograph future babies and family photos :)

tifully and we are in love with our photos. We have several pictures of all of our guests at the wedding too, which was so nice to see everyone enjoying themselves! We are so happy to have these photos to look back on, thank you so much Stephanie! You did an amazing job!

I favorited 368 pictures!) You captured every moment perfectly. From our engagement session, to our meetings and finally the big day, I looked forward to every meeting with you! You are so sweet and thoughtful and I felt like you were having as much fun at the wedding as we were! We cannot thank you enough for being so kind and patient with us. I will recommend you highly to anyone and everyone I know. I can’t wait to work with you in the future. I see some baby shoots in our future! Thank you so so much for the beautiful work you did capturing the best day of our lives! Love, Meagan and Kyle

otos, she took the time to get to know us and it really helped us practice for our wedding day because we are NOT models and sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera. but Stephanie really helped us break out of our shells and capture those real and natural moments. Our wedding day went so smoothly thanks to her. She makes sure to keep everyone and schedule and takes the time to make a whole itinerary for our wedding. We didn't have a wedding planner so Stephanie really helped us keep everything and everyone in order! I recommend her whole heartedly and I can honestly say she was the best decision we made for our wedding!

s available through email if I had a question! We received probably 1000 photos! She captured every feeling and emotion I had that day and I can look back and remember exactly how I felt! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera! She is so easy to work with and if I had to do it all over again I would book Stephanie again again and again!

she did for us and I recommend her wholeheartedly!

ut that couldn't be farther from the truth. Stephanie made us feel so comfortable and came with amazing ideas for us. I really couldn't say enough wonderful things about Stephanie and her team!

would show in the photos, but Stephanie made us feel comfortable and captured some truly beautiful (not awkward!) moments between us and I'm very happy with the way our pictures turned out. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a photographer in SE Michigan!

ght samples of her work, a price list and explained everything that she offered from engagement photos to the wedding day. She patiently answered all of our questions and really portrayed what she does as a photographer. As we got closer to our wedding date, she helped us create a very detailed itinerary which showcased her arrival time for me (the bride), the second photographers arrival time for my husband, breakdowns of what photos we were taking when, arrival time to the church...she had everything covered! We adjusted the itinerary several times and she was very quick to reply back with the updates. She had the same second photographer with her for our engagement photos as well as our wedding day so everyone was very familiar and comfortable with each other. Our engagement and wedding photographs turned out so much better than I imagined! I can not stop looking at the pictures since we got them in October. I highly recommend Stephanie...she did a fantastic job!

ecially loved that she gave all of our edited wedding photos back to us on a disc. We ended up having over 900 photos from the wedding day! So you definitely get more than your money's worth with her! Several of our family and friends have already asked who our photographer was, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the area.

o excited to have her take our wedding photos!! :)

ie!

he day of our wedding and did a great job capturing all the important and fun details of the day. My husband and I aren't very comfortable in front of cameras but she had us laughing and feeling very comfortable. Her editing is so natural and she captures all the right moments! We are having SO much fun reliving our wedding day through her pictures and would highly recommend her to anyone we know!

gh each shot, instructing us where and how to stand. We are so pleased with how our photos turned out and we can't wait for her to shoot our wedding!

when hiring a photogher for your special day is your photographer's personality. Stephanie will make you feel so relaxed and comforted on your special day. She is truly a blessing to have by your side. She will go above and beyond for you and not charge you an arm and a leg for going beyond. You can tell she wants nothing more than to capture your best moments. We not only have her for our engagement photos but also wedding and all family portraits. She will always be the Photographer we call for all our important life moments. Not only are her pictures amazing but she herself is a person with a heart of gold!!! From one bride to another you will be so pleased with your entire experience with stephanie.

y, we knew after leaving our consult that she was definitely the right choice! Stephanie greeted us with a hug and made it a point to get to know us as a couple, the whole experience was so personable. She made everything so simple! We had such a fun time taking our engagement and wedding photos, she captured our true personalities and relationship in every picture. All of our photos have been absolutely breathtaking I am so excited to see the whole collection. If you are looking for a photographer, Stephanie is the way to go!! I would recommend her to ANYONE and can't wait to use her for future family photos as well :)

had a horrible time trying to narrow down my favorites for an album!! I can't recommend her enough!

e have known her for years. She made us feel extremely comfortable during what could be an otherwise very uncomfortable moment getting your photos taking professionally together for the first time. :) Our photos were beautiful and we look forward to enjoying them for many years to come! I continue to highly recommend Stephanie to all family and friends. We absolutely loved her!!

We talked to a few other photographers, but Stephanie was the first one we met with in person and immediately knew we wanted to book her. When we started meeting with Stephanie, she even gave us a general time-line which helped us a lot with the wedding planning process. Our engagement photo session was fast and fun and on the day of the wedding Stephanie and Chelsea were amazing to work with! They even had time to edit some photos and had a slideshow ready on a little monitor as guests came in, many of our guests raved about being able to see some of the pictures. Stephanie is professional, hard-working, kindhearted, and a joy to work with! We are already loving some of the pictures we have seen and are excited to see the rest from our special day!

d were taken and I trusted her completely. She is a true professional plus a kind and caring human being!

ior high and highschoolers and she kept them all focused and on time so that we were able to get amazing and beautiful shots in our short amount of time. She really is amazing I recommend her to any and everyone who asks or would ask me!! JUST BOOK WITH HER. you wont regret it.

t it was the least I could do after she did such a truly incredible job of capturing my sister's day. The photos came out beautiful; she is truly talented and has an eye for what makes an amazing shot. She was also very confident in her work, which was awesome. She knew how to quickly set everybody up for great photos, and was extremely polite, fun, and genuine while doing so. I know my sister appreciated how organized she was, as she basically had an itinerary for the whole day to make sure they got all of the shots desired without worrying about time. Again, I cant stress enough how happy everybody was with how professional and stunning the photos came out. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody in a heartbeat. Thanks Stephanie!!

ephanie was hands down the easiest and most enjoyable out of my entire wedding experience. I cant wait to use her services again for when I'm Pregnant!

age a large group of people to get the perfect shot! I hate having my picture taken and Stephanie always made me feel so comfortable! I love the poses she thought of and the time she took to take all the photos I had requested. Stephanie took photos from the time I was getting ready till the time of my reception. She captured my special day from start to finish and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer for any occasion!

e while I was home. When we met in person, she was able to help me build out the schedule for the entire day. It was such a relief to know that I didn't have to worry about how the day would run or if we would have enough time for all of the pictures that I wanted to take. She took the time to answer all of my questions, silly or not, in person and via email before the wedding which really made me feel comfortable with her. My wedding day ended up being cloudy and it sprinkled on and off, but that didn't stop her from taking AMAZING shots. She was very professional and upbeat throughout the entire process, guiding everyone in my family and wedding party through the hundreds of photos effortlessly. She made sure to check in with me at each point throughout the day and kept me on time (thank goodness!). Stephanie was also very organized and calm which kept me calm and allowed me to really enjoy the day. My brain was dead by the time the wedding day actually came, and Stephanie was able to walk me through all of the shots she thought would work best, and did a great job. I loved that she was able to put a slideshow together of some of the shots we took and display them at the reception. So many guests took turns watching the slideshow and commented on how great the pictures turned out. I honestly would not have had it any other way and am so glad Stephanie was my photographer! I cannot wait until we are back in MI and can work with her for other occasions in the future. :)

wedding day ended up being so hot that no one wanted to be outside for long, and with all the beautiful pictures she took, you would have no idea! Everyone at our reception was raving of the photos on the slideshow, and our wedding party thought she was absolutely great to work with. We would without a doubt shoot with her again, we love her work! Thank you, Stephanie for being such a fun person to work with and for all you did for us. You are truly talented!

her and even some of our friends are interested. All we can say is that she is great and fun to be around.

he also does this great slide show during the reception to show pictures taken throughout the whole day! I recommend her to everyone i know who is getting married!

I'm already getting so many compliments on the sneak peek pictures she posted. She is such a joy to work with! I couldn't be more happy with my wedding photography experience!
