Stephanie Rogers Photography

Stephanie Rogers Photography is a wedding photography business in Austin, Texas, run by a husband and wife team who have photographed weddings together for over ten years. The approach is candid and emotional, aimed at couples who would rather feel their photos than pose for them.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

The business is LGBTQ+-owned. Add a relaxed, documentary approach and a stated focus on relationships and human connection, and you have a team well suited to couples who dislike staged poses and want the day captured as it unfolds.

What to expect

• A candid style with moments from tears to the dance party
• Guidance and education through the planning process
• A calm presence that blends into the day
• Two photographers working together

Working with a candid photographer

Candid does not mean no direction. Ask how much posing guidance to expect for portraits and family photos, and share a list of the relatives and friends you most want pictured. Walk through your timeline together so the light is used well, especially if the ceremony falls at midday.

Preparing for your photographs

Meet before the wedding if you can, so you feel at ease in front of the camera. Ask about the number of images delivered, the delivery timeline, and whether an engagement session is available. Confirm what happens if one photographer is unable to attend. Tell your photographers about any family dynamics they should know before group portraits.

Where they work

The studio is in Austin and the team works at Texas weddings, from Hill Country venues to downtown hotels. Ask about travel if your wedding is further afield.
