A Bit
About APC
I photograph weddings and elopements with equal parts intuition and intention—combining an elevated visual style with a calm, grounded presence. Whether you're exchanging vows on a mountaintop or hosting a candlelit greenhouse dinner party, I help you feel at ease while documenting the day with care, artistry, and heart.
Stacie is just wonderful. Not only did she make us both feel comfortable, and pose us in ways we felt confident and natural - she also just captured us SO WELL.

She always makes us feel comfortable and listens to make sure she gets the shots that you want— and runs with it to make it even better than you could imagine!

Why I'm Here
When I was eleven, my parents gave my twin brother a camera on our birthday. I stole it and never looked back. Since then, I've discovered so much joy in helping people capture their moments so they are free to just experience them.

My Approach
I approach your day with a mixture of a prepared and grounded sense of calm and unbridled enthusiasm for the day you're about to have. I'll be there when you need me, but I step back and let the day unfold when you don't.

My style is true to life with a little extra magic. I want your photos to feel like you're right back in those moments for years to come.

Behind The Lens
I’m Stacie—the photographer behind Awake Photo Co. I've been working as a wedding photographer for almost ten years and could not be more appreciative of this journey.
I love chasing moments that make you feel grateful to be alive. Whether that's catching waves with friends, climbing up some rocks, or waking up early to catch a sunrise in a new place, I thrive on big and small experiences coupled with quiet moments of connection.
Based in San Diego and traveling often, I work with couples who care deeply about creating something meaningful and personal. My approach is calm, collaborative, and rooted in intention. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all photography; I take the time to understand what matters most to you so I can create images that feel layered, honest, and true to your experience.
Whether your wedding is a design-forward celebration with your favorite people or an intimate elopement tucked into nature, my goal is the same: to help you feel seen, supported, and beautifully reflected in every frame.
