"As a photojournalist, I was trained to look for the candid moments that paint a story. Posed shots were never an option - nor was retaking a photo."

Stephanie is a wedding photojournalist in the San Francisco Bay Area. She founded Stephanie Haller Photography in 2009 and launched Ahava Studios in 2012, when her husband joined her as her secondary shooter.

After graduating from Humboldt State University with a degree in Journalism & Public Relations, Stephanie moved to Washington State with her now-husband, Ryan. In 2011, they moved briefly to Manhattan for a contract position, and permanently relocated back to the San Francisco Bay Area in April 2012, where they were both born and raised.

They live in Walnut Creek with their cat, Miss Kitty, and hope to start a family within the next couple of years.
