“Steph is the best! She was so fun to have as part of our wedding day team! She made you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. The smiles in our pictures are truly genuine laughter caught on camera. She was able to capture the vision we wanted for the day of our wedding. The color and effects she can capture in her pictures are pure magic! Looking back at her pictures, the visuals she captured, make it so easy to relive our wedding day. Plus, she got our pictures back so quickly. She is an editing wizard! So thankful to have such an amazingly talented, kind & fun person capture our day. You hire her as a photographer but you’ll end up getting a friend by the end of your experience! She’s amazing & her work is magic!”


Erin + Pat | October 2022

“Steph and her husband Jordan were EPIC on our wedding day! I cannot thank them enough for everything they did and captured. Prior to the wedding, Steph was able to fit our engagement pictures into her busy schedule at the beginning of the year and they turned out amazing. Then, during the planning process, anytime I had a question, Steph answered me immediately. She was so organized, flexible and willing to work with me on all my ideas. The pictures were everything I could’ve asked for and more. Everytime I look at them I get emotional all over again. We are so thrilled to be able to cherish these pictures and our special day forever. I would recommend Steph & Jordan a million times over. Not to mention they are so friendly and funny, and we had the best time with them! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so, so much!”


Kiersten + Jimmy | September 2022

“Hazel Lining was the first vendor we booked after our venue and I’m so glad we did. Steph and her team were so professional but made everyone feel so comfortable at the same time. I literally could not have asked for a better experience with her! She sent me a few sneak peaks right away and I swear she could win a world record for the fastest amount of time anyone has ever gotten their wedding photos back! We were able to enjoy looking through them on our honeymoon!! We have so many favorites and so many of our guests have complimented how beautiful all of our photos are. Definitely definitely book with Hazel Lining, you will not regret it!”


Kate + Tim: September 2022

“Steph and her team were beyond incredible on our wedding day! We are so grateful we chose her as our photographer. She was such a pleasure to work with and made sure our photos were exactly what we imagined (actually even better than we imagined!). With a large family it's not even easy for me to round people up for photos but Steph was able to keep everyone organized and get all of the photos we wanted. She even pulled off getting smiles from our ring bearer and two flower girls in multiple shots- AND they were looking at the camera :) I'm so thankful for Steph and her team and can't wait to treasure all of the photos from our wedding day. Each and every photo we looked at completely blew our minds with how perfect they are. She was able to not just capture beautiful photos of the day but captured exactly how were feeling in the moment. If you are looking for the perfect photographer, Hazel Lining is it!”


Amanda + Derrick: September 2022

“Hire. Them. NOW!!! Working with Steph was one of the most enjoyable parts of our entire wedding day. I'm kicking myself that I didn't book a longer package. They made us feel so at ease and and they were so good about rolling with the punches. Trying to organize our families can be like hearding cats, but Hazel Lining was so patient with all of us! Not to mention, the turnaround time for photos is unheard of. I feel like I've been hearing about tons of photographers who go MIA after the event so having Hazel Lining reach out with so many sneak peeks this past week has been really comforting.”


Liz + Cortez: July 2022

“Steph was beyond AMAZING to work with on our wedding day (even in the HOT, sweaty month of July). She has a talent for making being in front of the camera feel natural and gives guidance and direction to capture the best pictures! When we got our photos back, I couldn’t believe what she captured. She made our day so special by collecting the most perfect moments for us to cherish forever! She’s personable, professional, helpful, and just embodies everything you’d want in a wedding photographer on your day. Cortez and I are so grateful to have worked with Hazel Lining Photography and absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional wedding photography!”


Rebecca + Dylan: June 2022

“Working with Steph has been an absolute joy. Even for someone like me who never considered themselves photogenic, she makes being photographed such an enjoyable experience. She truly knows how to put you at ease and the whole process feels so natural and relaxed. When it was time for sunset photos, my husband and I both were so excited because she honestly makes it so much fun. We get to just laugh and dance and revel in the moment together while she captures it all so beautifully. And the end result pictures are beyond stunning. She sent us our wedding pictures so quickly after the big day, and I’m in love with every single one. I know I’m going to be showing these off for the rest of my life.”


Natalie + Connor: April 2022

“Steph is incredible! If you are looking for a wedding photographer I highly recommend that you reach out to her! She is easy to work with and so sweet! She worked within our budget and provided everything we were looking for. Our engagement and wedding photos both came out beautifully and we are completely obsessed with them. She even went on a vacation of her own the day after our wedding but still managed to send us our photos so quickly after we tied the knot. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would definitely hire her again for any future photo shoots. 10/10!!!”


Rachel + Josh: November 2021

“Steph is absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough good things. Her work is well worth the investment. We still cannot stop looking through the photos that captured the absolute best day of our lives. Friends and family raved about how the candid photos captured our personalities so well. Steph was more than willing to adjust and make changes to the photo list as needed on the Big Day. Her personality lends itself well to this profession. She can be direct and intentional (when necessary) while also maintaining a friendly and fun demeanor. We had so much fun working with her and would recommend Hazel Lining Photography to anyone who wants to capture authentic moments from their special day.”


Trisha + Lucas: October 2021

“5 stars would never be enough to truly rate Steph! She is a true gem. Patient, kind, and just so incredibly talented. Our wedding plans changed a few times and we booked her 2 years in advance because I didn't want to risk not being able to book her. Our budget was extremely tight so we were only able to use her for 2 hours, but in the two hours of coverage she managed to get our ceremony covered by herself without missing a single detail, she got all of our family, bridal party, and bridal portraits done and she had time to grab a few detail shots and shots of our reception. She also did this while having two other weddings the same weekend. We were completely in awe! Steph makes you feel both like your natural selves and like straight models and she has an amazing eye for details. We were in tears when we looked at our photos. She was worth every penny and we will forever be grateful for the way she captured our day. And did I also mention just how nice she is?? Truly the sweetest person ever!”


Hilary + Patrick: September 2021

“Steph is an amazingly talented photographer in every way and brings only the best to your wedding day. We love her team, her editing, and her final product. Steph brings so much more than an amazing final product to the table with her ability to work with couples, people, pets, and more. She adapted to all the environments we wanted to be photographed in and we absolutely love our pictures. I am not exaggerating when I say it was hard for me to select some for printing and posting because I want to print and post them all (and likely will.) Our day was unfortunately also a solemn one with the passing of a family member. Steph was kind and considerate and worked with us to stay on a timeline that made sense and ultimately allowed us to be there for each other in the tough moments and enjoy the happy ones.

The photos reflect all of the love and support of our family and friends (and our doggo.) We could not have asked for a better photography team as Steph brought the best with her. They were upbeat and made the experience a fun and enjoyable one. I cannot recommend Hazel Lining Photography enough. They can do it all and the final product is one you will be showing to all for a lifetime. Thank you, Steph. You are truly a talented and wonderful human being. I wish you all the best and cannot wait to decorate my house with your extraordinary work.”


Ellyn + Jackson: July 2021

“We cannot say enough about Steph and her team of Associate Photographers. When Jack and I first got engaged, I was referred to Steph’s Instagram and Facebook pages initially to look at her work, and I instantly fell in love with her style. I reached out to Steph, and we booked an engagement session - she was extremely accommodating and open to my ideas. She was laid back, but she also offered helpful advice regarding how to pose, where to stand, and positioning us in ways that made the photos look natural. Our original wedding date was postponed several times due to COVID, and Steph was so kind and accommodating in helping us select a new date each time. She also did our bridal portraits that helped to alleviate some of the sadness in not yet having our “big day.” I will forever cherish those photos. Steph also always returned our photos in a timely manner, usually well before I expected to have them back. She is responsive, sweet, and makes us laugh, which is always welcome! We always felt comfortable working with her, and we will definitely work with Steph again in the future. I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for a fabulous photographer (for any occasion/life event)!”

Olivia & Greg: June 2021

It will be very hard to write in one single paragraph the joy we feel from our pictures and the hard work Stephanie put into them. We signed on with her back in 2019 eager to work with her and that day finally came on June 5th 2021. She captured our love story so beautifully and also provided us our photos the day we returned from our honeymoon. Each picture captures so many emotions and we will truly be living through these moments of time for the rest of our lives. You will not regret having Hazel Lining be your photographer!!


Kaytee & Kyle: May 2021

When we were engaged looking for photographers, I had found Steph’s page just a few months before. I always LOVED her content and knew we wanted to see if she was available for our wedding. We were so fortunate that she was! The entire planning process was easy, and they were so patient with me when I was still scrambling last min to get my timeline together. Day of they were so organized, we got through all of our photos quickly, with out feeling rushed. Steph helped pose and position us and made us feel so much more comfortable. My husband and I knew the photos were going to be good, but when we got the gallery we were in awe!!!!!
The pictures were even better than we imagined. We are obsessed! So many family and friends have commented on how beautiful the photos were. I can't recommend Hazel Lining enough! They beautifully captured such a special day for us and we will be forever grateful.


Katie & Ryan: May 2021

“I can’t say enough about how amazing Steph is. Our original wedding plans got switched up because of COVID and she ended up shooting our mini wedding and our large celebration. Rain or shine (we experienced both) her photos came out amazing!!! Not to mention she’s so so fun to work with. We’re so grateful to have had Steph for both celebrations and can’t recommend her enough!!!”


“Steph is so wonderful! We were both hired to service a wedding this fall and she went above and beyond for the couple leading up to the wedding and the day of. Steph was incredibly professional but also incredibly personable! Steph has a very calming demeanor and worked with the curveballs that were thrown on the wedding day with ease and grace. I typically reach out to a photographer before a wedding just to introduce myself but Steph took the time to get to know more about me/my work, and now I can consider her a friend in this industry. She made sure to send me the full gallery from the wedding afterwards which I was so grateful for! Anyone would be lucky to have Steph as their photographer, please don't wait to book her!”

Hannah + Micah: November 2020

“Steph is one a kind! She is such a kind and creative person and I couldn't possibly say enough good things about her! Steph did my engagement session and we were we were bloooown away. We were already so excited leading up to the session because we had seen her work before. But that didn't prepare us for how IN LOVE with our photos we are! The minute we got our photos back we looked through them together and went straight to an album printing site to get all the beauty onto paper! Now I cannot wait for her to capture my wedding, AH! She is truly SO gifted.”


Paige + Chris: November 2020

“We went with Hazel Lining Photography for both our engagement and wedding photos and we could not have been more happy with our choice. Steph was very responsive and punctual during the entire process. For the engagement photos she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable through conversation, playing music and overall making sure we were enjoying our time, not just having photos taken. The entire process went smoothly from the day we booked her to the moment we received the finished photos of the wedding day.

For the wedding photos, everyone involved noted how great of a job Steph and her assistant were. They took many photos, with many different poses and involved all of the people that made the wedding so special. The photos turned out great and really capture every moment of the day from the preparation for the ceremony all the way to the reception.

We highly recommend Hazel Lining Photography to anyone looking to capture any wedding, life event, or important day. Her site is clean and easy to use, payment was simple, and most importantly her talent and abilities are perfect to capture any moment.”

Jenn + Luke: October 2020

“WONDERFUL! Steph captured our day beautifully. From the details to portraits to party candids, Steph’s photos are stunning.

During the staged shoots such as our first look, couples photos, and family portraits, she brought an incredible energy to day that helped us and our friends and family feel natural. When we looked at the final album, we could absolutely see ourselves but also stunned with how beautifully we had been captured. She works well with pups in the mix too!

During the ceremony, speeches, and reception, we genuinely didn’t realize Steph and her assistant were even there. They blended in well and never got in the way of the moment while still managing to capture it. There were many moments during the day that we laughed and cried, unscripted of course, and we were SO pleasantly surprised to find them captured. Those intimate moments we didn’t want to forget but couldn’t have planned to capture, Steph was able to snap.

Our friends and family have been obsessed with the photos and we have been getting endless compliments about their beauty and the authentic energy that comes through them. She was truly able to encapsulate us as we were on the happiest day of our lives.

Final thoughts, we LOVED working with Steph and Hazel Lining. We would recommend Hazel Lining Photography many times over.”


Jade + Pete: October 2020

“My husband and I could not be more thrilled with the experience we had with Hazel Lining! While planning a wedding during the pandemic is stressful, Steph made this part of the planning process seamless and easy. Any time we had any questions, she quickly got back to us and really was a joy to work with during the planning process. The day of the wedding, Hazel Lining arrived early and really provided great instructions for each photo so we didn't have to think about anything. They were a blast to have at the wedding and added to the fun day. Steph got us the pictures back so quickly and they looked AMAZING! She really captured the vibe of what we were going for and we love them so so much. We will definitely book Hazel Lining for future shoots.”

Gina + Ty: July 2020

“My husband and I could not be more happy with the photos Steph and Blaine took of our wedding day. Originally we were supposed to get married in April, then May and finally July worked out. We were so happy Steph was available and flexible through the entire planning and re-planning mess. Steph was so friendly and fun even in the 90 degree heat! She did an amazing job of directing us and making us feel comfortable. We are so thrilled we chose Hazel Lining for our wedding!”


Molly + Scott: March 2020

“Steph was our photographer for our wedding. Let me tell you some of the most impressive things about Hazel Lining Photography. First her enthusiasm. I love how Steph truly loves what she does, and it shows in her work. She put a huge smile on our face, and she was so easy to work with. Steph truly cares about you as a person. I felt like we were family. Next I want to say how creative she was. With all the crazy things that were happening at our wedding, Steph was able to make sure that some really awesome and unique shots were taken. Next I will make the mention that she is super punctual, and she works very hard. It is rare in this day to see such hard working, passionate, easy to work with people, and Hazel Lining Photography embodies all of that. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me. I LOVE OUR PICTURES! Thanks Hazel Lining Photography!”

Victoria + Logan: November 2019

“Steph is really sweet and an amazing photographer! She did our engagement shoot and our wedding shoot. She was very responsive and helpful. She was there for almost the entire day and took photos that we will treasure forever. We got our engagement shoot back within a week and our wedding photos back at the end of our honeymoon (2 weeks later). I chose her because she did my cousins wedding almost a year or two earlier and I loved those photos so much too! She makes everything feel natural when you are taking the pictures which is really nice. A lot of my friends have commented on the how gorgeous the photos are as well. We are so grateful we chose her!”


Ashley & Steve: October 2019

“Steph of Hazel Lining Photography, was truly so amazing to work with! She is a master of her art, offers great direction and insight, and makes you feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. I love every single photo that she took of our big day! I felt reassured the day of the wedding knowing that I had Steph and her team there to capture everything from the minor details to the major events. Every image truly felt so high-end magazine quality -- I got non-stop compliments from everyone who came across our photos! Not only that, I had all of our wedding photos back so incredibly fast, I am still in disbelief! Steph/ Hazel Lining Photography was the best decision we made when it came to wedding vendors. I am so happy we will have these amazing photos for the rest of our lives. I cant wait to work with Steph again!!”

Laura & Jason: August 2019

“Steph is a delight! Not only are the photos from our August wedding absolutely stunning, she was so helpful in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding. The entire process from booking to planning to invoicing was seamless and she was quick to respond to all of my questions. On the day of, Steph was prompt, organized, and, most importantly, made us feel so comfortable being in front of the camera. And (bonus!) she sent us our photos within two weeks of our wedding – it was amazing! We're still getting compliments from all of our friends and family for the fabulous shots (the lighting, the composition, everything!). We're so glad she was there to capture our special day and would recommend her to everyone!”


Jess & David: April 2019

Steph and Jordan were absolutely incredible on my wedding day!! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else capture our special day. Not only are they both incredibly talented, but they also made us feel so at ease and comfortable.

Our venue wasn’t the “typical”. We were in a city, on a rainy day. To Steph and Jordan - NO problem! They found cute little spots, stopped traffic for our party, and even bought us ice cream at a local creamery and captured the moment.

I have gotten so many compliments on my photos and I am recommending Hazel Lining Photography to all of my engaged friends!

Thank you Steph and Jordan! We love you!

Taylor & Zach: November 2018

If you're looking for a super talented, down to earth, and creative photographer I HIGHLY recommend Hazel Lining Photography! Choosing Steph as my Photographer was hands down the best decision I made throughout my entire wedding planning process. She was the perfect mix of joyful, humorous, and professional. As a type A bride, I thrive off of organization and again, Steph was there to deliver. Her organization made the entire process from start to finish very easy and stress free. It rained on our wedding day, but that didn't stop Steph from letting her natural creativeness shine through. Hazel Lining's pricing is more than fair for the great talent she possesses. The turn around time of our wedding photos was very quick which was an added bonus! I truly appreciate how thoughtful and empathetic Steph was while photographing our "must have" meaningful photos. Both my Husband and I are still blown away with Steph's amazing ability to capture the raw beauty of emotions on our special day. Again, if you're looking for a phenomenal photographer for any life event - Steph's your girl!


Emily & Paul: November 2018

We absolutely adored working with Steph. She was fantastic at bringing what we wanted to life, and was a dream to work with. Her creative direction was excellent, and she had us completely at ease while she captured the most perfect photos of our big day. The candids and the portraits are phenomenal, and are a great collection of the energy and the atmosphere and the love! We cannot recommend her enough and will be spreading the word to all our friends and family who are looking for a talented and friendly photographer. We got our photos back soooo quickly too, which was very much appreciated with the holiday season upon us! Thank you so much Steph!!

BRI & GREG: November 2018

As soon as we met Steph, we felt comfortable to be ourselves around her; there was no acting, no awkward poses, she's even tempered and excited to be doing what she loves best- shooting wonderful scenes. Prior to the wedding we discussed our "must haves" that were really important to us- Greg needed great music, and I needed a great photographer to capture memories that will last a lifetime, however Steph did more than that. Somehow she managed to capture all the feelings from that day as well, from the first look, to boogieing on the dance floor- she is phenomenal at what she does.


Melanie & John: September 2018

Steph is not only an exceptional photographer, but an amazing person. I can not imagine anyone else capturing our day the way she did. She is simply AMAZING to work with. Not only did she capture amazing moments for us (even in what felt like 100 degree heat!) - she and her assistant made our entire day go so smooth. She helped me plan and execute our timeline, she was always super responsive, and she turned around our entire gallery of pictures in less than 2 weeks - all while she was planning her own wedding! She talked to us and took the time to really understand what types of pictures we were looking for and made sure she got all of them done. Most of all - she was just a blast to work with and made us feel so comfortable! I couldn't recommend Hazel Lining Photography more for couples who are looking for an amazing person and photographer for their special day.

Becky & Jonathan: August 2018

AMAZING! Let me just say, that Hazel Lining Photography was able to take my rainy wedding day, and turn it into the perfect memory with these beautiful photos! Working with Hazel Lining was not only the least stressful part of planning the wedding but also a HUGE help in finalizing details to the wedding that really made the day fall together. And not to mention that we got to see a snapshot of our photos after a few days and ALL of our photos were completed in less than a month! We were so thankful and excited to see how all the photos came together beautifully! Steph and her team were so helpful and did a fabulous job and I would recommend her to anyone who wants their photos to look like a FAIRY TALE! You truly cannot put a price on having a fabulous photographer and beautiful photos we'll be able to share with our future children!


 

Lisa & Landon: June 2018

"Where do I start? Working with Steph was a dream. From our initial contact, she was so helpful in assisting with our questions to ensure we were getting the package that was the right fit for us. We met her at our engagement pictures (which was a hot one!) and she instantly felt like an old friend of ours. We were so comfortable working with her and she without a doubt has an eye for detail. I loved her teasers on social media and we got our pictures back so timely! We knew the wedding pictures would turn out simply perfect. Through the course of the engagement, Steph was nothing less than helpful - answering any questions we had, setting up the day of timeline and providing details that would help us not a miss a beat the day of our wedding. It was also so fun hanging out with her! From the ceremony to the end of the night, they were on their A Game, which I truly believe they are never not. The ceremony and reception pictures are breathtaking. They are ALL breathtaking! It was so wonderful having them there with us, I will use Steph and her incredible services in the future. Thank you is not enough for the way you both captured the biggest day of our life, but thank you, thank you, thank you. I will recommend your services to anyone who asks - even if they don't ask!"

Abby & Skyler: May 2018

"Oh my goodness, if I could give 10 stars to Hazel Lining, I would. Steph was amazing throughout our entire wedding planning process. She's so sweet and kind, and instantly made us both feel right at home.  We had to reschedule our engagement photos several times due to weather/ conflicts/ etc., and she was so flexible and patient with us, and I could not have been happier with our in-home engagement session. At our wedding, she fit right into the party, snapping photos that didn't make us feel like we were being pulled away from time spent with our family and friends. We just got the pictures back this morning (super fast turn-around time, by the way), and I can't stop smiling. Thank you, Steph! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"


Maggie & Tim: November 2017

"My husband and I could not have been any happier with Stephanie! She was an absolute pleasure to work with through the entire wedding process, easy to get in contact with and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. She knew all the right questions to ask and all the details to include during the planning process. The day of the wedding it was obvious how experienced she was. She was able to organize our large wedding party and family to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted! I can’t tell you how many people came up to us to tell us how impressed they were with her! 
Stephanie had our pictures back to us extremely quickly... and they are STUNNING! I could not recommend her more!"

Liana & Jared: July 2017

"We booked Hazel Lining soon after being engaged. Having quality photos was one of the most important aspects of the wedding to me. Steph photographed both our engagement photos and wedding. Her photos are beautiful--each one captures such a special piece of our perfect day. She works well in even the most challenging of conditions as she captured our portraits on a humid day with POURING rain! Hiring HLP was one of our best decisions for our wedding day, considering how terrible the weather ended up being. She is so easy to work with, making everyone feel comfortable and know what to do in front of the camera. Hazel Lining is fun, timely, organized, personable and creative!"


 

Randi & Kyle: November 2016

"I cannot get enough of our wedding pictures. Every single time I look at them I cry all over again!! Steph and the Hazel Lining team are so incredibly professional and talented. They work so hard to come along side of their clients to be sure they deliver the highest quality and the best experience. They are completely effortless to work with and they constantly make you feel comfortable in front of the camera even if you usually aren't! I already am highly recommending Hazel Lining to anyone and everyone that I know!! I can't say enough Steph! You're amazing!"

taylor & deihl: may 2016

"We booked Hazel Lining on a whim after seeing just one group of pictures they had done for a wedding. Something about the pictures gave us the confidence that this was the photographer for us. And boy were we right!! Steph and her Hazel lining crew exceeded our expectations. After meeting Steph for the first time at our engagement session, we were so excited for what was to come for our wedding. Steph is extremely easy to work with and very personable. We felt so comfortable with her and her photographers. The compliments we continue to receive on our wedding photos are so positive. The compliment we receive most, is that the photographer seemed to capture each incredible moment so perfectly. Which is exactly how we feel. I have no idea how we will choose which pictures to frame. Thank you Hazel Lining, you are simply the best."
