Stacia

Don't worry, no one knows how to say my name at first . It's pronounced like Stay-sha.


I'm the face behind the lens and the founder of Stacia Marie Images - your alternative style, hopeless romantic with a sharp eye and a soft heart. I'm probably crying behind my camera at least once a wedding.


I didn't become a photographer just because I love pretty things - I became one because I am deeply aware of how fleeting moments are. I notice the shifts in energy, the quiet glances, the subtle in - between. I'm observant, intuitive, and emotionally invested in the stories I get to tell.


When I'm capturing moments, I don't chase perfection - I'm preserving something real.


With over 500 weddings in my 8 years of experience, I have mastered how to read the room, work calmly under pressure and create space for you to actually enjoy your day. You deserve to feel supported, seen and like the main character in your story.


This little company wouldn't be complete without my team helping pave the way to your best day ever!

My husband Zack and I have been together since 2012. He assists me on full wedding days as my second shooter. Having someone beside me who understands both the flow of a wedding and the emotional weight of it makes the experience smooth sailing.

In 2023 we became parents. This season of life has only deepened the way we approach our work. We have a great appreciation for time, legacy and the importance of preserving moments that grow even more meaningful with age.

our studio manager

Tara is the backbone of SMI and the person making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. As our studio manager she handles all the logistics - from scheduling calls, sending guides and documents, to timeline building and sending reminders. She keeps communication organized from start to finish. Her attention to detail and genuine care for our couples means nothing falls through the cracks - so you can feel supported, and taken care of throughout the entire process. Her hands on approach allows me to stay fully present on wedding days, knowing every detail has been handled with care.

Let me introduce our newest addition to the team, Gabe. Film has made its way back into the wedding world - so for the past 2 years Gabe has been along side me gaining experience and understanding the rhythm of a wedding day. Film is available as an add-on for couples who love its nostalgic, organic aesthetic and is thoughtfully integrated into our existing coverage

Get in touch

On Your Wedding Day, I bring fun, yet calm and steady presence- guiding when needed and disaprearing when it matters most- so you can stay present while I take care of the rest
I work best with couples who value presence over perfection and want your day to feel special, not staged. If you are drawn to emotion, movement and honest story telling, we will be a great fit
If my approach resonates with you, I'd love to hear your story. From the first call to the final gallery delivery, my goal is to make this experience feel thoughtful, supported and true to you

We have been wanting family photos for a long time and decided to hire Stacia!  WOW speechless.  Not only were her photos amazing, but she was amazing at dealing with our unpredictable animals, as well as our unpredictable children!  She knew just what to say and just what to do to get them all to look perfect!   Let's just say we will be doing them every year with her moving forward!

Stacia has an incredible gift for capturing the most precious moments of my children—memories I will treasure for a lifetime. Her creative eye is truly remarkable, and she has a natural way of making everyone feel completely at ease. Her warm, bubbly personality brings so much joy to each session, turning every photo shoot into a fun and memorable experience.

From our engagement and wedding to newborn and family portraits, Stacia has been there to document all of our most meaningful milestones. Her work speaks for itself, and we’ll continue coming back time and again because of the exceptional quality and care she puts into every photo.
