Hello There!

I'm Becky Stephens, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Southeast Wisconsin. I’ve been serving people through fine art photography since 2012. My mission is to document your love story, your wedding day joy, and your growing family with beautiful, timeless images⏤all while allowing you to relax and have fun! You deserve to have your memories documented with classic images that will be enjoyed for generations to come. 

My goal is for you to enjoy: 

-Easy, stress free scheduling and planning. You contact me, and I do the rest! I’ll also help you set up a wedding day timeline, offer engagement or family session styling tips, and more. I’m here to help you!

-Fun, relaxing photography sessions that make you look your best. Be prepared for a good time, and don’t stress! Even if you have never had professional photos taken, I have the experience to offer guidance throughout the session to ensure that you look great in all of your photos! 

-Beautiful, timeless photos to treasure for a lifetime My style is natural, clean, and timeless, with a light and airy elegance. I especially love to capture images that show authentic emotion. 

Get to Know Me: 

I grew up on a hobby farm in the country, making friends with the chickens, dogs, cows and kittens, which also happened to be my first photography subjects. I’m still happiest when I’m outside, barefoot in the sunshine, enjoying peace and quiet, preferably with a good book. Though photography has been a creative outlet for me since I was about 12, I began to hone my skills and started my business while in college.

The reason I love photographing weddings is because of the joy and happy anticipation that permeates the whole day. You have spent months planning for the day when the most special people in your life will gather to help you celebrate the start of your new life together with your true love. When that day comes, you should be able to relax, be present with your loved ones, and just soak in the day as it unfolds. I LOVE that I am able to serve brides, grooms, and their families on wedding days in so many little ways that will help them enjoy and remember every moment, big or small.

When I’m not photographing clients, I’m most likely hanging out with my spunky toddler boy, bubbly baby girl, and my sweet teacher husband of 7 years. We’re working hard on turning our first house into a cozy home, and our day just isn’t complete without a long walk through our neighborhood.

A few things that I love:

  • Cooking and Baking - Inspired by Mom and fueled by a love for delicious food.

  • Manual brew coffee - Aeropress, V60, Chemex, French press… you name it, I brew it!

  • Travel - So far I’ve spent a month in China and a week in the UK, but I’m hoping to add several more stamps to that passport!

  • Bright, inviting living spaces - Sunny windows, comfy couches, potted plants, and cozy blankets.

  • Plants - I definitely don’t claim to have a green thumb, but I love trying! There’s just something so inviting and beautiful about living, blooming, greenery. 

  • Running - I’ve run the Lake Country Half Marathon twice, Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon once, and the best way to start my day is with an early morning run.

  • Music - I’ve been playing the piano since I was 7, enjoy the opportunity to play on our church’s worship team, and my favorite date with my husband is a live concert! 

  • October - The colors, the smells, the bonfires, the blue sky, the apple cider, and the sweaters.

  • Reading - Biographies, Fantasy, Historical Fiction, and Business.

  • TV Series - Great British Baking Show, BBC Sherlock, The Office, and Downton Abbey.

  • Kate Spade - because it’s hard to beat a classy leather handbag with a touch of gold.
