LUXlife Wedding & Portrait Photographer of the Year 2024 (Kansas City)

Global Business Awards - Best Wedding Photographer 2024 (Kansas City): Stephanie Coulter

Hey, I'm Stephanie!

I am a bright, true-to-life wedding and portrait photographer with over 15 years of experience. I serve the Kansas City area and beyond (I LOVE to travel), am a crafty mother of three girls, a lover of dark chocolate (especially paired with a good cabernet sauvignon), relaxing on a beach, and geeking-out!

Helping people show off their love of life, family, and others through fun & laughter is what I love to capture! I believe in capturing REAL personalities and moments because LIFE is REAL.

Real. Captured.

Because Life is REAL

“A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is, thereby a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.”

My Style

As a primarily natural light photographer, I love images that are overall bright and feel happy (even if the people in them are not) because LIFE is REAL.

No crazy filters or dark & moody vibes here.
Just timeless memories.

“Stephanie's photos are beautiful. When I show my wedding photos to friends, they say two things: First they say how beautiful the photos are. And then they stop and specifically comment on the skill of the photographer.”
