Great Events Aren't Just Planned. They're Built With Intention.
Let us help you create the wedding you’ll want to relive.
I'm Kiersten Stamn, Creative Director of Elvira Mary Productions.
I worked behind the camera as a wedding videographer in Philadelphia for over ten years, and I've watched a father see his daughter in her dress for the first time. I've caught the laughter that breaks out mid-toast. I've filmed hands reaching for each other during a first dance, over and over, at hundreds of different weddings, and it never once got old.
Somewhere in those ten years, I fell in love with more than the footage. I fell in love with the entire experience of an event: the energy in the room, the intentional details a couple spent months planning, watching a blank ballroom or a quiet estate garden become someone's most unforgettable day. That's what led me to build Elvira Mary Productions because helping clients get that experience, start to finish, is what I care about most.
The Story Behind the Name
Elvira Mary Productions is named after my Nonna Elvira and my great-aunt Mary, two women who helped raise me and were, between them, married for over 100 years.
Aunt Mary passed away at 101. My Nonna Elvira is still with us at 98, a first-generation Italian woman who raised five children, welcomed eight grandchildren, and now has three great-grandchildren of her own. She's never held a camera in her life, and somehow she still finds her way into every single frame I shoot. Elvira is nurturing, generous, and devoted to family in a way that shapes everything I do. I named this business after her because I believe every story worth telling starts with a heart like hers.
One Studio,
One Point of Contact
Most vendors specialize in one thing, but Elvira Mary Productions is different. Today, the wedding production studio brings photography, videography, photo booth experiences, and event planning and design together under one roof, so you get one trusted process instead of coordinating separate vendors who have never worked together before.
As Creative Director, I lead every project personally. I work alongside a trusted network of contractors for photography, videography, and photo booth delivery, which means you always have one point of contact who knows your event inside and out, from your very first consultation call to your final gallery. You're never chasing down five different inboxes to find out where things stand. You're talking to one person who already has the full picture of your day.

Wedding Venues
We Love
We specialize in working at Philadelphia's top luxury and historic venues, places like The Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia, The Union League of Philadelphia, The Crystal Tea Room by Cescaphe, The Barnes Foundation, The Franklin Institute, The Lucy by Cescaphe, Ballroom at the Ben, and outside of Philadelphia, estate properties like Elstowe Manor at Elkins Estate, Parque Ridley Creek, and Appleford Estate. If you're investing in a high-end, elevated day, I want to be the vendor who matches that level of polish, whether you're booking one service from me or building your entire vendor team through Elvira Mary Productions.
Let's Chat
Every relationship starts with a consultation call where we'll talk through your date, your venue, and your vision. If we're a good fit, I'll send over a custom proposal. From there, it's a simple contract and invoice through our booking system, and you'll have direct access to me by email for anything that comes up along the way.
