Fierce Love, Intimate Moments, Unforgettable Celebrations
Heartstone Photography is not just a service; it's a journey through your love story. Our roots lie in the world of art photography, but our passion is rooted in people and storytelling. Having spent years as a second shooter and lighting technician for various high-end wedding photographers, Angela envisioned a photography company that goes beyond the expected.
No detail is left to chance. We are more than just witnesses to your special day; we are participants, capturing the unscripted moments that unfold when love takes center stage. We believe in fierce, emotive, and celebratory photography that encapsulates the essence of your connection.
Our team, now expanded to include three onboard assistants and a talented roster of second shooters, is committed to being there every step of the way. Based in Connecticut, we are not bound by borders; we love to travel, forging connections and documenting love stories wherever you dream it.
From intimate elopements to grand weddings, we understand that photography is not just about taking pictures; it's about creating art. Each wedding is a canvas, and we approach it with a deep sense of responsibility to tell a love story uniquely yours. Our images are more than memories; they are timeless pieces of art that will be cherished for a lifetime.
Unveiling Love, Capturing Moments, Creating Art
Hello, I'm Angela Strassheim, the heart behind Heartstone Photography. An award-winning, internationally recognized artist and photographer, I believe that the most precious moments are the ones authentically lived. Every love story is a unique tapestry woven with threads of fierce emotion, celebration, and intimacy.
As a internationally recognized artist and editorial photographer, my art practice revolves around family, motherhood, and domestic space. I’ve had the privilege of having my photography published in magazines such as New York Times Magazine, New York Magazine, Harpers, Mossless, Artnews, Provok, and recently on the cover of Time Magazine.
I’ve also had the honor of being exhibited in, and collected by museums and galleries including Andrea Meislin and Honor Fraser Gallery, Marvelli Gallery, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the Whitney Museum of American Art, National Museum of Woman in the Arts, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Yale University Art Gallery and the Art Institute of Chicago.
