the photographer

well hello there! 

I'm Skye, the photographer of Skye Stansbury Photography, singer, Friends fanatic, wife and mother. I'm a California girl on an east coast adventure with my wonderful (and hot) husband Bill. Bill graciously gives up his weekend time to be my assistant and assistant shooter on wedding days.

Art has always been a huge part of my life and in various mediums. I have been drawing, painting, and coloring, since I could hold the tools to do so, and as soon as I got my hands on my first disposable camera I never stopped being the one taking the pictures. I find myself drawn to art that is whimsical, romantic, or shows genuine emotion. Weddings are full of all of these characteristics by nature. I love the creative side of photography, but I'm really a people person. Getting someone to open up and feel comfortable and confident about the way they look is a big part of my job and I love it! Weddings just seem to be a prefect marriage (no pun intended) of my art preferences and my excitement for people.

• One of my favorite love story quotes "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.” -John Green The Fault in Our Stars
