Introduction

Hey, I’m Steph Jones! I’m a Southwest Florida photographer specializing in weddings, engagements, and proposals. If you’re a couple, you’re my people. I’m passionate about capturing authentic connections and telling your unique love story. I love working with fun, adventurous couples who are madly in love and ready to create memories that last a lifetime. With nearly 14 years in the industry, I’m committed to making your photography experience as seamless and stress-free as possible — and don’t be surprised if we become friends along the way. This isn’t just my job; it’s a passion, and I’m here to serve you.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Every wedding booking begins with a complimentary over the phone consultation. From there your investment will include your customized wedding day timeline, a walkthrough at the venue, travel expenses, professional editing, sneak peeks, print rights and a personalized online digital gallery where you can view, download, share your wedding day images as well as order prints. Every session, whether wedding or portrait, requires a 25% non-refundable retainer upon contract signing. This retainer holds your session date. Any wedding or event outside of Lee or Collier Counties will include a travel fee. Travel fees are determined by distance.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We will discuss details such as the location, time, and date as well as wardrobe and what your vision is for the session or event. Once all that is pinned down I send all the paperwork electronically - contracts, invoices and questionnaires. If you are booking a wedding we will also discuss a detailed wedding day timeline. I will create a document and we will go over this timeline within a month before your big day. My clients are free to text message me or call if they have any questions.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am a long time member of Professional Photographers of America and I am also a part of many local groups and online educational forums. My skills are self taught but I have worked with some of the best in the biz learning along the way.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I'd like to think photography is in my blood! My grandfather made his life's career as a photographer and I grew up in front of the camera. I experimented with photography much of my young life. Always loving and respecting photography, I was finally able to start my own business in 2011.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have shot everything over the years but my main focus is weddings, couples and branding/headshots.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Get to know your photographer! No one likes to work with someone they don't jive with or feel comfortable around. You want your connection with your photographer to feel authentic, regardless if they fit your budget or style.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Are digitals included? Will you provide a backup photographer in case of an emergency? What is the turn around time for edited images? What is the best time of day to take photos? Do you use a second photographer for weddings? What is your photography style?
