Stefani Ciotti Photography

But what I came to realize was that I was truly obsessed with the capturing of moments and the feelings in those moments. Around the time I was starting high school, my family began to fall in love with traveling (that love has since turned into a passionate love affair). It occurred to me rather quickly that no one in my family really enjoyed taking photographs.

We would return home from an incredible trip and have no photos to show for it. So "out of necessity" I took it upon myself to become the family photographer. It didn't take long before I was completely obsessed. There is so much love and joy on a wedding day and I believe every one of those moments should be captured and never forgotten. I believe you should be able to look back at your images and be able to relive exactly how you were feeling in that moment in every photograph.

Beyond that, I believe your children and your grandchildren should be able to look back at your images and understand exactly who you were, they should be able to feel the love you felt and the joy that was present in that moment.
