My wife and I absolutely adored Stephan and Adriana. We hired the couple for wedding photos, as well as engagement photos, and couldn't be happier with our decision. Stephan and Adriana knew Yosemite like the back of their hands and were able to treat us to beautiful locations which led to breath-taking photos. The two were incredibly helpful, easy to communicate with, and flexible with our needs.
They are extremely kind individuals who will ensure you have magical wedding photos for your big day. Thank you Stephan and Adriana for all that you did for us and your beautiful work, it meant the world

From beginning to end it was the absolute best experience and more than I could have hoped for working with a photographer from out of state. The photos were everything we hoped for!
Stephan and Adriana were so responsive and helped with every step of the process (way beyond just photography) vendors, flowers, places to stay, or must sees they were there to answer all of our questions and give suggestions! Even when we ran into some issues with the day of our elopement, they were level headed, had a plan B, and helped us navigate anything that came our way. Plus, they were an absolute blast

We heard of Stephan and Adriana from a past client of theirs. After looking at their Instagram for 0.5 seconds, we immediately fell in love with their work. There was no hesitation when it came to choosing a photographer for our big day. They are amazing humans. They create beautiful memories. Their connection is so deep. You feel how genuine it is when they are working their magic together. They are so much in sync with each other, it's uplifting. We just received our engagement photos and my gosh are we ready to see our wedding photos! After our engagement session, there is no doubt in our minds

When we decided to do a destination wedding at Yosemite, sight unseen, we weren't sure what to expect. We came across Stephan & Adriana online and immediately liked their vibe and their beautiful photos. Right from the start, working with them was a dream. They were responsive to questions and even went above and beyond to help us get our permit and even let me ship my wedding bouquet to them so that I wouldn't have to carry it across the country on the plane. When we finally got to meet them on our wedding day, they were professional yet easy to talk to, like old friends. They knew all the right

Stephan and Adriana are professional and talented!! They both work so well together and did a fantastic job with our shoot. They not only told us how to pose but they had such a diverse amount of angles and backgrounds. The photos turned out beautiful and looked so genuine. They also know how to capture not only us, but the background beautifully, which is exactly what I was looking for. We got way more than we initially expected. We got so many quality photos that we are having trouble deciding on which are our favorites... They spent so much time on our shoot and we were exhausted by the end

WHERE TO BEGIN!! My husband and I have been wanting to work with Stephan & Adriana for quite some time now, and we finally were able to book them for our wedding in August. Stephan & Adriana are the dream team. Not only are they the cutest couple, but they are SO much fun to work with, and made us and our bridal party/family instantly feel so comfortable and at ease. They are pro's at making you feel natural, they are quick and efficient, and they are just such incredible people. They also really know their stuff-- how to pose, how to work with large groups, working angles, finding incredible
