I believe wedding days aren’t performances, they’re lived experiences. The quiet glances, the unscripted laughter, the way your people hold you a little tighter, that’s where the meaning lives. Through a documentary approach with thoughtful guidance, I focus on what’s real: the messy, the tender, the in-between.
Stephanie Renae Co. is a Central Texas–based wedding photography company creating true-to-life imagery that allows you to stay present and move with intention. When it’s all said and done, you won’t just have photos, you’ll have a record of something that was entirely and only yours.

designed for presence

On our wedding day, Stephanie showed up completely prepared and fully present. (The) calm in the storm and our biggest supporter. Stephanie guided us with such calmness, respect, and kindness, giving us space to breathe and reconnect while still capturing incredibly meaningful photos.

I don’t step into your wedding day as a stranger with a camera. I take time to understand who you are, how you move together, what/who holds meaning in your world, and what this commitment represents. Through thoughtful conversations and intentional clarity, I learn the rhythm of your connection so I can anticipate moments instead of interrupting them, keeping your priorities protected and advocated for.

The result is imagery that feels composed without being staged and deeply personal without losing refinement. Preparation creates space and that space allows you to be fully present, knowing your story is being held with intention.

NOW BOOKING 2026/2027 WEDDINGS & DESTINATIONS

I bring a steady, intentional energy to your wedding day. I’m observant without being intrusive, present without being overbearing, and attuned to the subtle moments unfolding beneath the surface.

Couples trust me because I notice what others might overlook, the quiet exchange, the shift in emotion, the way your people gather around you. I offer guidance when it enhances the moment and step back when authenticity matters most.

The result is imagery that preserves more than how the day looked. It preserves how it felt. Surrounded. Supported. Deeply known.
