My Approach


My style leans toward mostly documentary coverage with some loose editorial directing mixed in. Natural edits, fun flashy shots, and a nostalgic hit of vintage film photos.


I'm all about keeping things true to life and fun. If a moment is bright and full of sunshine, I let it shine. If it’s moody, candlelit and vibey, I keep that deep richness intact. I find little moments throughout the day to lean into light-hearted and cheesy ideas. Because if you can't have unfiltered, vulnerable joy on your wedding day, when can you?


Basically, I avoid bleaching the soul out of your photos and photograph your wedding day the way that it felt. I capture your individuality and your loved ones in a way that feels like home.

Testimonials

Bethany + Brody; Florence, AL

I searched for months to find the perfect wedding photographer for my style, and I could not be happier with my decision to use StewartBarnes. They were so kind and thoughtful and they made sure to capture every photo I asked for. Looking through my photo gallery truly feels like I am back at the wedding! It is the perfect mix of posed photos and candids that perfectly capture the spirit of the day.
