I’m based in the vibrant city of Melbourne, and I’m passionate about capturing life’s most meaningful moments — whether that’s a heartfelt wedding, an adventurous engagement shoot, a cozy family session, or a vibrant event full of energy and joy.

​

I first picked up a camera back in 2016, volunteering to photograph church events — and honestly, I was hooked. From the very start, I wanted to photograph everything and everywhere. That obsession grew into a lifelong love for storytelling — finding beauty in everyday life, emotion in small details, and adventure in every frame.

​

In 2021, I began working professionally as a photographer and editor for HM Photos, a Melbourne event photography company. During that time, I photographed all kinds of events across Victoria — from school formals, debutante balls, and graduations to corporate events, dance performances, and university balls. Those experiences taught me how to capture connection, energy, and emotion in every setting.

​

By 2024, I took a leap into freelancing and launched Stephanie Rauza Photography, where I now focus on weddings, engagements, and families. I’m also obsessed with travelling and love discovering scenic locations that bring photos to life. I’m always chasing golden light, hidden viewpoints, and moments that feel spontaneous and real.

I love creating unique, creative photographs that tell your story in an authentic and adventurous way. So if you’re ready to be experimental, explore somewhere beautiful, and have a bit of fun along the way — then I’m the photographer for you.

​

Every shoot is personal to me, and I strive to make the experience relaxed, genuine, and full of laughter. Together, we’ll create images that you’ll look back on and say, “Wow — that’s us.”
