about
STOKES

With a down-to-earth approach, I blend candid moments captured in a documentary style and lightly posed editorial portraits to preserve your love story for generations to come.
My calling is to give you a world-class experience in addition to exceptional photographs. Holding a space for you and your loved ones to be yourselves on one of life's greatest days is an honor.

"These photos are amazing. I feel like I'm remembering the day even more now."

— Millie

“Stokes is amazing at what she does and she's so easy to work with."

— Catherine

Bold Style

My style and approach are built on valuing quality experiences, because there's nothing better than simply being in the moment. I produce imagery that is intuitive, true, and visually arresting by working with you to capture intimate moments, fine details, and the deepest of emotions.

My Story

Growing up with narcolepsy, I've always fought to pause time.
Living in a dream world, I felt lost in a blur of light and color, needing a way to hold onto the beautiful little moments. To solve this, my mother gave me a Nikon camera. Since that day, I've loved making time stand still, even just for a second.

The Method

I fiercely hold that the small moments are the big moments, from how light falls on the train of your gown to the tears of joy in your mom's eyes when she sees you ready to walk down the aisle. It's a joy to capture your finest moments when you are comfortable to be and feel authentically yourself.

BEHIND
the LENS

I'm Stokes — It's a family name! I'm an Enneagram 9 All the way, gardening gal, passport stamp collector, and Burgeoning woodworker.

With a love for the little things, shared histories, anything made by hand, and the belief that we all have the stories to share, I've always found joy working with people.
No two weddings are the same. From extensive experience working with individuals and families as a Master of Clinical Social Work, I view every wedding with professionalism, humor, and a fresh pair of eyes. I'm committed to delivering timeless work to honor the start of every new legacy.
