Amazing Photography Team

I could not have wished for a better photography team. Stephanie and Dave went way beyond the role of photographers and largely contributed to how well our day went. The groomsmen still rave about how great Dave was, perhaps a little bromance there! They kept us smiling and made us feel at ease all day with their expertise and how easy-going they were. Stephanie was also great at responding to emails promptly to help keep my stress level as low as possible!
When we received our photos we were blown away! I can't put into words how happy we are with them - and I also can't stop showing people! Working with Stephanie Beach Photography is one of the best decisions you will make for your event - professional, kind, and skilled.

Made 'modeling' easy & captured our wedding day experience

Stephanie (and Dave!) were amazing to work with. They are friendly, helpful, and they made us laugh A LOT (which added to the warmth and genuine-vibe of our photos). They definitely helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, both during our engagement session and on our wedding day, and had lots of ideas of how to best utilize the beauty of our venue (Temples Country Weddings). We were also impressed with the quantity of edited photos we received and the thoughtfulness of the welcome and 'photo delivery' packages.

Simply Fantastic!

My partner and I were married on September 12th 2020, and we chose to use Steph & Dave as our photographers.

We initially opted for a package that included an engagement shoot (so that we might get a bit more comfortable posing with the camera before our big day, as both of us are camera-shy), but had to downgrade due to COVID restrictions. This ended up being absolutely no problem, as Steph & Dave were very understanding, and were able to take many fantastic shots. We even decided at the last minute to ask about the possibility of recording our ceremony for guests who were unable to attend, and they were able to do this as well without issue- they even came out to our rehearsal the night before, to make sure that the sound equipment could be properly situated! Stephanie is an excellent photographer, and gives very clear instructions when setting up a shot (which is useful for those of us who are nervous in front of a camera), and Dave is a joy to work with. Based on our experiences, we would definitely recommend Stephanie Beach Photography!

Amazing at-home engagement photos

Stephanie came to our home to take our engagement photos earlier this summer. She came prepared, on time, and with some great ideas! She walked us through the process and gave us tips for each pose, as we are not photo-savy people! Steph even went the extra mile walking through our pasture to get the perfect photo. She made us feel comfortable and made the entire process really fun! I would highly recommend her and her husband, they're a great team!

Stress free and fabulous

Stephanie was wonderful with us. She captured all of the pictures we wanted and made us feel so comfortable doing it. To say we are two awkward people, it did not look like it on camera. haha. So thank you so very much. We love all of our pictures. Just fabulous!

Amazing photos, great to work with

We cannot stress enough how happy we are with choosing Stephanie Beach Photography. Steph and Dave made our day so much less stressful and were a lot of fun to work with. The pictures turned out phenomenal, and there were so many to choose from. Excellent work and professionalism.

STUNNING photos and a great couple to work with!

Stephanie and Dave did an AMAZING job capturing our big day. They were professional but fun to hang out with. They captured every little detail of our special day, guided us through the process, listened to what we wanted and were just genuinely a pleasure to work with. My husband and I are by no means selfie king/queens but Stephanie & Dave did a great job capturing our personalities and our love for one another. Would definitely recommend them!

Friendly photographers and stunning photos

Stephanie and Dave were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our experience with them (from booking, to the wedding day, to afterwards). They made all of our guests feel happy and comfortable while taking pictures (which resulted in some truly genuine smiles in the photos!), and the photos are all stunning and exactly what we wanted. We cannot recommend them enough!

The Best Wedding Photographers Out There!

Stephanie and Dave were amazing! They went above and beyond their role to help make our day (and pictures) perfect! Stephanie emergently sewed my dress during a pre-ceremony hiccup and she even caught my crumbs during cocktail hour to protect my dress! It is clear they both are extremely friendly, fun, creative, responsive, and focused on pleasing their clients! We both felt very comfortable having our picture taken and it was easy to just be ourselves. They got every single "requested" shot we asked for plus many unique photos that make our pictures special and different from others. Not to mention I cannot stop starring at both our engagement and wedding photos! We have received so many compliments! Not a detail or moment was missed!

Flexible, professional and quick turnaround

We are so happy with our engagement photos from Stephanie! She was very easy to work with, generous with her time during the shoot (we didn't feel rushed at all and visited many different little spots for photos) and she turned around the final images so quickly and easily! The photography and editing style is perfect for a spring/summer engagement or wedding shoot. Thanks Stephanie!

Meet the Team

Stephanie Koning

Owner + Primary Photographer

Hello, I'm Stephanie and when I started photography I never actually intended to shoot weddings. I am a huge introvert, and the iteraction and people-skills required for weddings was something I didn't think I had. But after I shot my first wedding, i not only found those skills, but I fell head-over-heels in love with the job (no pun intended - well, maybe a little ;) )!

When I'm not working with my camera you will probably find me chilling at home watching classic rom-coms or 90's TV sitcoms. And if you've ever received an email from me or followed me on social media, you have probably already noticed that I love exclamation marks and smiley faces and use them abundantly!

There is just something so magical about capturing the start of a marriage. Being able to help our couples have a relaxed, comfortable day while still getting stunning images they can share and enjoy for years to come is something that is very special to me. It's cliche, but most days I can't believe this is my job!

David Koning

Second Photographer + Assistant

Hello, I'm Dave! I started my photography journey by watching Steph and asking a ton of questions. After realizing that she and I learn things differently, I started playing around with cameras myself and loved what I was able to create! I have been shooting alongside her ever since and cherish the extra time we are able to spend together while capturing our couple's wedding days!

When I am not taking photos you will likely find me playing strategy games or tickling the ivories while I play one of my favourite songs. I also love fiddling around with various tasks and projects around the house, when I can find the time of course.

Photography may not have been something I went looking for, but I am so glad it found me. I really do love the time I get to spend with our couples and take pride in being able to create a fun, comfortable atmosphere throughout their wedding day!

Kaylee Koning

Assistant Photographer + Wonder Dog

Hi, I'm Kaylee and I am the goodest girl! I am a big help to my Mom while she edits photos, keeping her entertained and making sure she doesn't sound crazy when she talks to herself while she works. And I am learning to be just the bestest assistant photographer too, but it's a work in progress.

I may not like it when my pawrents leave me to shoot wedding days, but I love it when they come home because I get lots of extra treats and cuddles!

I love playing tug and chase, and am told that I have the softest belly! I also love meeting new people as they chat about their wedding day with my pawrents (but let them know if you aren't comfortable with me being around as I also love long walks and will take any excuse to get one)!
