Hi there! I'm Steph, and I'm so glad you're here!
Some of my earliest memories are flipping through photo albums at my grandmother’s house. I loved how she kept everything, even the imperfect, unposed photos that captured real laughs and genuine personalities. My dad also gave me my first camera as a child, and he was always taking photos of our family and travels. Those moments nurtured my love for photography and a passion for preserving memories.
Photography has always felt like more than just images. It’s about legacy. These are the images you’ll cherish for a lifetime, and proudly show your grandchildren someday.
My work is a thoughtful blend of fine art and candid, documentary-style photography. I capture not just how your day looked, but how it felt. Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a lived experience and a celebration of your love, family, and the life you’re building together.
My prayer for your marriage is deeply rooted in my brand - and even in my business name! Ivy is a symbol of perseverance, dedication and fidelity. Emeralds hold a special symbolism to my own family and enduring memories. My prayer is that in every situation, you fight for your marriage and choose one another daily.
For this reason, when you look back at your images, I want you to remember each intricate detail of your wedding exactly the way it happened - but even more importantly - how you felt.
Even though I’m only with you for a short season, I cherish the time we have together! It brings me joy knowing you as a couple, and it is an absolute honor to be the one to capture the beginning of your legacy.
So take a look around, and if you feel a connection to me and my work, let's chat!
