STACY SPECKMAN | Second Shooter & Associate
THE PROFESSIONAL FOUNDATION
I am a tenured photographer with over a decade of experience. Having launched my first professional photography venture in 2014, I have spent years refining my technical craft and mastering professional-grade equipment. My portfolio is a curated collection of my work spanning ten years, reflecting a deep-seated understanding of lighting, composition, and timing.
THE DISCIPLINE BEHIND THE LENS
Transitioning from a background in sports and nature photography, I bring a unique blend of technical precision and "boots-on-the-ground" reliability. I don't just show up with a camera; I show up with a decade of high-level discipline and professional management experience.

WHY I'M THE ASSET YOUR WEDDING DAY NEEDS:
The Discipline of a Martial Artist
High-Stakes Discipline: As a Black Belt and Martial Arts instructor, I am trained to remain calm under pressure and anticipate movement before it happens—an essential skill for capturing unscripted ceremony moments.
The Logistics of a Business Owner
Operational Excellence: Having owned a cleaning business, managing 10-12 employees and 40-50 properties weekly, I understand the "invisible" work of a wedding. I am highly organized, punctual, and obsessed with the details that keep a timeline on track.
PHYSICALLY CAPABLE & RESILIANT
My experience grading land and constructing mountain cabins means I’m the first person to volunteer for heavy gear hauls, difficult terrain, or 12-hour days on my feet without losing focus.
AVAILABILITY
I am currently based in the Denver / Charlotte area, and my service area extends to the Winston-Salem / Elkin (NC) area to the Mount Airy (NC) / Floyd (VA) area, & everywhere in between.
TECHNICAL SPECS.
I come fully prepared with a complete professional kit, including Canon Mark IV 5D and a Canon Mark III 5D with a suite of fast prime/zoom lenses (Canon 50mm, 24-70, & 70-200) to match the quality and redundancy required for high-stakes weddings. I shoot exclusively in Full Manual mode and Raw/jpg on dual card slots, ensuring your data is backed up in real-time and your post-production workflow remains seamless.
