telling love stories on the west coast and world wide
This isn’t just about planning the perfect wedding day. It’s about that feeling when–
you just can’t stop smiling.
your song comes on.
you catch each other's eye.
you just don't know how you got so lucky.
At Awake Photo Co, we
understand the importance of our job as historian for moments big and small. Our passion for our work and for our clients ensures you will feel heard, understood and supported throughout the wedding process.

your love deserves a
one-of-a-kind experience
On your wedding day, the only thing you should even be worried about is if there will be dessert left over for breakfast the next day–not your photos.
Knowing that you don't have to be anyone other than yourselves to get amazing wedding photos is a beautiful thing. Seeing countless photos of 'perfect' couples during your wedding planning process can make you feel like you have to look a certain way or do specific things in order for your wedding to be special. But we say heck no to that and know that the best photos will come from being yourselves.
By leaning into the qualities and quirks that make you both unique and your love beautiful, we are able to create photos together that will always remind you of the meaningful day you shared and all the silly, happy, sad and powerful moments in between.

Hi, I'm Stacie
In the last seven years, I’ve shot over 50 weddings, elopements and engagements across the West Coast and worldwide. Whether the event is big or small, rugged or romantic, one thing never changes: the very best photos come from connection.
And I'm happy to be here
If you're the kind of couple that loves forming meaningful relationships with other people, you're in the right place. My favorite part of this job has always been creating lasting memories and friendships with the people I've met along the way. I take every wedding very seriously and view what I do as so much more than just a job.

behind the lens
Stacie was the absolute BEST! We got married in Ireland so not only did she travel the entire way she was super flexible with us as we finalized details last minute. Stacie not only captured the entire day perfectly, she even came with us the day after for an intimate shoot on the Cliffs of Moher. I cannot say enough good things about her. All of our guests loved her and we were so thankful she was able to be part of our wedding day!

Stacie knows how to capture the magic in every moment. We chose her as our photographer for our elopement and truly could not have asked for a better experience.

AMAZING! That doesn’t even describe enough how awesome Stacie is at what she does. She has a gift for capturing the most beautiful, intimate moments. Shes not only professional, communicative, efficient, but she’s a wonderful person. She’s kind, funny, reliable, and has quickly become a good friend to us.

Wild flowers in Del Mar
At a certain time in the year, California is blessed with some gorgeous color. If you know where to look, you can get gorgeous photos in this ephemeral beauty.
