ABOUT ME

 

Hi! My name is Steph Grant. Owner of Steph Grant Studios and Founder of the Promote Love Movement (a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community raised in a religious environment to connect and share their stories). I believe in the importance of being visible and vocal for those in our community who cannot. Sharing our stories can change minds and softens hearts. I have experienced this firsthand through my work as a photographer and during my own coming out process. It’s so rewarding to have complete strangers say that they felt like they had a front row seat at the weddings that I have shot or that after seeing my images and stories they can no longer support their stance against the LGBTQ+ community.

 

As an out lesbian photographer my primary focus is to make you feel comfortable so that your personalities and love are captured in every wedding photograph. I love every second of my job. I have worked very hard to be exactly where I am…and that is right here in this moment with you. My goal is to get to know your love story & to tell it with my images.

 

This is a wedding EXPERIENCE…I would like to be included in your life stories rather than just the basics of what you want on your wedding day. I am slowly steering away from the “day of” wedding package and only booking weekend or week long wedding experiences. So much happens leading up to your actual wedding day and the memories don’t stop after the dancing. We’re just getting started! Take me on your road trips, in a tiny seaplane, let’s go parasailing or go to Burning Man together and document the entire thing. Couples spend so much time and energy on planning the perfect wedding and honeymoon adventures…all of it deserves to live on. Currently, I only book 10 elopements/intimate weddings per year.

  • Known for being the first LGBTQ+ Wedding photographer in the industry and for photographing the first lesbian Indian wedding in the US which went viral in 2013 with 81K people on my site in 1 day.
  • Recognized on the Senate floor in CA in 2018 for my work with the LGBTQ+ community.
  • Spoke on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community at a Google event & Rebelution Resurge in NYC…where I was asked to share my story and engage in conversations surrounding inclusion and representation in the wedding industry.
  • Was the face of Fossil’s 2019 Pride Campaign and was asked to share my story for their social media campaign.
  • Over 2M views on YouTube and a combined 85K+ followers on social media.
  • Fun spots traveled to: the Philippines, the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, Thailand, Hong Kong, Haiti, Jamaica, Hawaii, Aruba, London, Ireland and 36/50 states.
