Stefan Hack approaches wedding photography using a combination of two distinct but equally important facets: photojournalism and portraiture. Both are equally important - recording the events and emotions of the day, and creating elegant portraits of the bride and groom, their families, and their wedding party. Stefan is adept at switching from one to the other in an instant.

Stefan has an eye for creating documentary images at their essential moments. He captures the details, the emotions, the actions, and the atmosphere of your wedding from start to finish. He coordinates group photos for the families and the wedding party, working quickly and efficiently while producing classic and creative portraits.

For the bride and groom, Stefan creates elegant, romantic portraits, making this a fun part of your day, while also working quickly in order to not take time away from the other parts of your special day. Those other parts - laughing and dancing with your friends and family, enjoying the atmosphere created just for you, experiencing the deluge of emotions and wonderful moments - will be captured in images that will always keep the memories fresh.

A native of Berkeley now living in Sacramento, Stefan travels to shoot weddings in such diverse and wonderful locations as Santa Cruz, Lake Tahoe, and Bodega Bay. He also travels beyond northern California for destination weddings; he recently travelled to a wedding in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and will shoot weddings in New Orleans and Chicago in 2009.
