I am excited about the new year because it opens with a new home for Stephanie Richer Photography - my studio in downtown Powell! And I have a special offer to celebrate - read more here!

Bekah and Shea's engagement session took place in a location that is very special to them - the fabulous Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina!.  I always include an engagement session with my wedding packages - read here to find out why!

Monica is a smart bride - she made use of her hair and makeup trial to suit up and do bridal portraits before her wedding.  What a great way to make your wedding day less stressful by freeing up some time, as well as to take advantage of a special setting.  Be like Monica!

If youth is wasted on the young, Celia and Gary are taking it back with their attitude!  Come and see their engagement pictures, photographed at the historic Swann Plantation in Sevierville, TN.

Atlanta was the perfect setting for a hip and urban couple like Victoria and Dan.  Ponce City Market and Piedmont Park provided excellent settings to show off their sophistication - and love of the New England Patriots!

A young man, freshly graduated from the United States Marine Corps' boot camp in Parris Island, is home briefly to visit his parents in Knoxville before heading out for advanced training.  I have known this young man since his days on Knoxville Catholic High School's robotics team, the Robotichauns, and it was an honor to capture him as a freshly minted Marine in his hometown.  But shooting him took some thought as I wanted to make sure I respected his uniform and preserved his military bearing.

When a picture that is "just a snapshot" is much more and why I choose to provide my wedding clients with the digital files for their images.  A sweet story about why this picture of my children means so much to me.

Fortune smiled on Justin and Jenny when the smoke from wildfires cleared and the sun shone when he proposed to her in historic Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Come hear the story and see the pictures of my latest proposal to be photographed!

I did not like the "advice" a wedding planner published about guests' criticism after a wedding.  It's your day and you don't need the stress of worrying whether a friend will post a Yelp review of your reception!  But at least for the photography, I can help prevent that.
