The New(ish) Stephanie Rita Photography Brand

June 3, 2016

If you have followed any form of my social medias over the last year, you know that this logo is not new. One day last summer, after a particularly amazing engagement session on the water, I felt the need to switch things up. So I spent some time drawing up a new logo, fell in love with one of them, and went with it. It was a bit of an impulse change, but thankfully one that my photography business and myself personally have both grown into over the last year.

Ever since I photographed Kim + Thor’s wedding on top of a mountain in Kentucky three summers ago, I knew that Stephanie Rita Photography was destined for outdoorsy greatness. I had never felt more in my element while shooting, and starting then I prayed that I could photograph adventurous people and places more often. Add in our amazing trip to Acadia last spring and that feeling grew even stronger.

As an answer to prayer, every couple I photographed last season had adventurous souls, which pushed me to make better photos for them. And every one of their weddings and engagement sessions had either a stunning view, water, trees, and in a few cases all three! My new logo ended up not even looking that new, because it fit in SO much better than the old one did.

I don’t know why I waited until almost a year later to do an official announcement. Maybe I needed that year to really figure out where the SRP brand was heading, and even though now I feel like I’ve found it, this year has proven to be a little harder than others. I’ve learned a lot more about persistence and determination in the last 6 months than I have in the rest of my life combined. That being said, I am excited for the opportunities God has provided so far and for the awesome couples he’s sent my way. Praying for a fun, spontaneous, creative, productive summer!

Ps- Have you heard of this new trend called “pop up weddings”? I think your spontaneous self would really love shooting them! I’m sure the couples that do them would match well with your adventurous self. 😀

I haven’t heard of these, but I am googling it right now!! 🙂 Sounds so fun!

For some reason I was just thinking about you and your incredible work and decided to see what new things you had shot. Unsurprisingly, almost three years later your work simply continues to get better and better.

Thor and I continue to feel so lucky that you came into our lives when you did. Doing a small destination wedding that way we did, we knew it would take a very special and yes, DARING, person to take on the challenge of shooting a wedding “on top of a mountain” as you so eloquently put it. There aren’t many out there with your carefree spirit, bold capturing of moments, and overall amazing self.

To all the adventures yet to come…

Aw Kim, thank you so much for your kind words! And for including me in your amazing, adventurous wedding weekend. Happy almost 3 year anniversary! Thinking of you guys and hope you are doing well!
