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.

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 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!

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