Jacksonville Wedding & Family Photographer
I am Stephanie W Photography, a Jacksonville-based wedding, engagement, and family photographer dedicated to capturing life's most meaningful moments. With a background in business from the University of North Florida and over 14 years of professional experience, I combine storytelling with artistic vision to preserve memories that span generations. My journey began in 2010 when I transitioned from corporate life to full-time photography, driven by my passion for documenting authentic human connections. As a mother of twins, I understand the importance of capturing fleeting moments of joy, which informs my approach to every session. I specialize in creating timeless imagery using natural light, whether photographing intimate St.Augustine weddings or playful family sessions on Ponte Vedra Beach. My work has been featured in prominent publications such as The Knot Magazine and Style Me Pretty, reflecting my commitment to excellence. I prioritize personalized service, offering guidance to ensure clients feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. My portfolio spans weddings, engagements, newborns, and lifestyle photography, all united by a focus on emotional authenticity. I provide comprehensive timeline planning for weddings and offer flexible session options, including destination photography across Northeast Florida and beyond. Every image I create aims to become a cherished heirloom that tells your unique story for generations to come.

Yes, I provide comprehensive timeline planning using a pre-wedding questionnaire to create customized schedules that maximize photo opportunities and reduce day-of stress.

I photograph destination weddings within Northeast Florida at no extra charge. For locations further away, I charge travel fees covering transportation and accommodation costs.
