A Wedding Day with Me by Your Side
On Sarah and James’ wedding day, the morning was soft with mist. Sarah stepped out of the car, nervous about the rain and worried about getting good photos in the limited light. I had brought a couple of umbrellas, and she had her yellow rain boots. I encouraged her that her raincoat would complement her dress and that we wouldn’t be in the rain for long.
Throughout the day, I balanced gentle guidance with quiet observation, arranging them in beautiful light for portraits, then stepping back so they could share real, unguarded laughter. During the reception, I caught James leaning in to whisper something that made Sarah laugh so hard she wiped away a tear. That single frame now hangs in their home, a daily reminder of their joy.
This is what working with me feels like: a blend of direction and authentic moments, so you look beautiful, feel at ease, and have photographs that carry the emotion of your day for a lifetime.
We’re a perfect match if:
You value presence over performance.
You believe your wedding deserves to be remembered with artistry, not trends.
You want photographs that feel effortless, refined, and deeply personal.
You see photography not as an expense but as an heirloom, crafted to last for generations.
You trust in the beauty of truth over the pressure of perfection.
THE ADINA STILES PHOTOGRAPHY
Wedding Experience
I am genuinely invested in every love story I photograph.
From the moment I arrive on your wedding day to the final delivery of your images,
I pour my passion into capturing your story with care and creativity.
Your love is one of a kind, and I’m dedicated to documenting it in a way that feels just as special.
1. Meet & Dream
Our first meeting, whether by Zoom or at a local coffee shop, will be a chance to dream about your day, ask questions, and get to know each other. To secure your wedding date, I require a deposit and signed agreement.
2. Prepare & Plan
From timeline planning to location scouting, I go the extra mile to make sure I have the time and space to create beautiful images of you. I will work closely with your wedding planners and other vendors to ensure your day runs smoothly.
3. Engagement session
The engagement session is an adventure to somewhere fun like your favorite park, landmark, or water view. It gives you a chance to be in front of the camera and get some amazing photos.
4. TIMELINE Crafting
I love being able to guide you when creating your wedding day timeline. I want to ensure we have time needed to create magic!
5. YOUR WEDDING DAY
I come to your wedding day prepared and ready to create. I'll capture the candid moments and guide you to create epic shots that make you feel and look your best.
6. Your love story presented
After your wedding, I will send a sneak peek within 24-48 hours of your wedding of some of the highlights. Every image is a piece of your story, carefully edited and curated with love. Get ready for a gallery that's as special as you are.
Fun Facts About Me:
I started my career as a fashion photographer, which gave me an eye for elegance, detail, and timeless portraiture.
I can pin a boutonniere, bustle a gown, and calm pre-ceremony nerves, all while keeping your timeline flowing.
I adore natural light and often scout locations in advance to find hidden corners of beauty you might not even notice at your venue.
I’ve had a bride’s veil fly away, a ring bearer refuse to walk down the aisle, and even a champagne bottle explode. I captured it all with calm and grace.
I’m a big believer in including pets in portraits (and I’ve photographed everything from dogs to horses decked out in ribbons and flowers!).
I’ve photographed over 100 weddings, each one unique but all anchored in authentic emotion.
One of my favorite compliments was when a couple said, “We didn’t just hire a photographer, we gained a friend.”

The Adina Stiles Experience
A wedding day should feel as unforgettable as the photographs that preserve it.
Your experience with me is about more than beautiful images. It’s about how you feel every step of the way. From our first conversation to your final gallery, I create a seamless journey that allows you to be fully present, while I capture the artful story of your love.
1. The Foundation of Trust
Before the wedding day, I invest time in learning your story, your vision, and even the little details that matter most.
We walk through timelines, styling details, and what matters most to you so by the time the wedding arrives, you know I’ve got you covered.
2. The Art of Poise
Drawing from my background in fashion photography, I gently guide you with effortless posing cues that feel natural.
You’ll never wonder what to do with your hands or how you look in the light. I’ll guide you so you can relax fully.
3. The Quiet Pause
In the whirlwind of the day, I intentionally carve out space for stillness.
Whether it’s a five-minute breather after the ceremony or a private moment before the reception, I make sure you and your partner can soak it all in.
4. The Invisible Hand
While you’re celebrating with family and friends, I’m anticipating moments before they unfold, like fixing a veil, adjusting lighting, or ensuring your grandma is included in portraits without pulling you away.
You focus on your people; I take care of the rest.
5. The Heirloom Vision
Long after the wedding, your photographs remain. I approach every image with the intention of creating not just pictures, but legacy pieces.
These are the frames that will hang in your home, the albums your children will open, the visual echoes of your love.
Your wedding deserves more than coverage. It deserves artistry, intention, and a photographer who is there not just to capture, but to care. If you’re ready for a wedding day experience that feels effortless, and heirlooms that last for generations. Let’s begin.

My Posing Approach
“We don’t know how to pose!” It’s something I hear all the time, and trust me—it’s completely normal! Posing can feel intimidating if you’re not used to being in front of a camera. That’s where I come in. My goal is to make the process easy, comfortable, and most importantly, fun.
What you can expect:
Gentle prompts + movement
No rigid or awkward poses
Authentic emotions and moments that matter
Capturing the essence of your relationship
I guarantee you’ll feel at ease, confident, and completely yourselves in front of the camera.
Looking For Pricing?
Every wedding is unique, and so is the investment in capturing your special day. I create personalized photography packages tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that every moment is beautifully preserved. The cost of your wedding photography depends on various factors, reflecting the distinct details of your celebration. Take a look at my article on what to expect when investing in your wedding photos for more insights.
My Approach
I’m committed to capturing your wedding day with authenticity and raw emotion. My approach is to be present in the moment, anticipating the quiet exchanges and meaningful interactions between you, your partner, and your loved ones. While many weddings follow a familiar, traditional path, I’ll be looking for the moments that set your story apart. Even within the traditions, your wedding will have a personal touch that only you two can create, and that's what I’m here to capture.
For me, your wedding is more than just another event; it’s a chance to step into your world, understand who you are, where you’ve been, and the journey of you're beginning together. This day is about honoring that unique bond, and I’ll be there to document it all with my camera.
