Savor Every Moment

At Stokes Del Rio, all feelings are valid, all love is welcome, and there is always a reason to celebrate.

Time is fleeting, but love is everlasting, and the best wedding photography captures your love just as it is:
effortless, pure, and joyous.

The Motto

With every shutter click and roll of film, 
moments become your memories.

Your wedding day is a masterpiece in the making—a canvas of emotions, details, and fleeting moments that deserve to be preserved with artistry and care. Stokes Del Rio was built not just to capture images; this is where visual narratives are crafted to tell your love story. 

Preserving those moments is a task far too important to leave up to chance.

There is only one piece of your wedding day that will last: Your photographs.

This means that once the last slice of cake is eaten, it's down to the person holding the camera. They're responsible for documenting every meaningful detail.

when you're investing in memories of a lifetime, details matter.

What sets Stokes's work apart is the blend of her artistic vision and her scrupulous attention to detail. A background in clinical social work has laid the foundation for Stokes to easily navigate busy days and respond to the emotional currents of your day, capturing genuine moments that others might miss.

Never taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Stokes invests in her clients because she knows just how much trust they have invested in her. She finds that the best art comes from getting to know her clients' stories and she remains focused on creating images that will be as beautiful and relevant in 50 years as they are today.

Frequently asked questions

ARE YOU WILLING TO TRAVEL?

I absolutely adore the chance to photograph destination weddings or elopements. If you’re considering a celebration abroad, let’s chat about the details. 

Do you offer albums? 

Not only are they offered, but strongly encouraged. Your memories deserve to live off the screen. I've partnered with the best in the business to print albums worth showcasing on your coffee table and passing down to your grandchildren.

Do you offer digital Files?

Yes! Your online gallery and slideshow will be available via private link for three years. You have full access and control over image sharing with all your family and friends.  

Do you offer all weekend coverage?

I do! The best gatherings are never rushed, and I'm all for it. Contact me for a custom proposal tailored to your dream weekend.

Do you offer engagement portraits?

Yes, I love engagement sessions for a few reasons: you two can take a break in wedding planning, we all get to know each other before the wedding day, and - the most fun - you have the perfect excuse to go on your dream date night.

do you shoot film as well?

Film will always have my heart. I have inherited a few cameras from my grandparents and enjoy developing it at home. You can usually find me with at least one at any wedding, but to have a unique film experience, talk to me about the vision you have in mind! 

Ready to live in the moment?

I'm known for professional, timely communication *and* stunning imagery, because you shouldn't have to choose.
