If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Nancy was the perfect photographer for our big day and the second photographer she brought, Hannah, was great as well. Nancy truly takes her time to get to know exactly what you want for your day, is detail-oriented and provides guidance as needed to help make the details easier to manage, and is just so lovely to work with! We are absolutely in love with our sneak peek photos and feel incredibly grateful we chose her to capture the day. My wedding was just 2 weeks ago and l've already had people ask me for her info to book for their events as well.
Make one of the best decisions you can and book with Nancy for your wedding or special event.
My husband and I were introduced to Nancy when she was photographing his brothers wedding. We were both in the wedding party and after spending all day with her, we knew right away that we needed to hire her for our own wedding. We didn’t even look elsewhere. My maid of honor also immediately booked her after spending the day with her at our wedding. So take this as a review from both a bridesmaid/groomsmen AND bride and groom! Nancy is the absolute BEST! She is talented, sweet, calm, and punctual! Aside from her stunning photography skills and all of the beautiful moments she captured, my favorite thing about Nancy is that she brings a sense of calm to what can be a very fast paced and intimidating day. Nancy is able to navigate all of the curveballs, family dynamics, and happy tears that a wedding day brings with such grace and ease. Nancy works with you to understand your vision for the day and executes flawlessly. We received our sneak peak in record time and cherish the photos so much! We have received so many compliments on the amazing moments she captured by friends and family. Aside from your future spouse, the person you’ll spend the most time with on your wedding day is your photographer and trust me, you want to spend the day with Nancy and Hannah!
Nancy is absolutely amazing!! She is extremely talented at what she does. We had a unique situation as I broke my ankle two weeks before the wedding, every brides worst nightmare. Nancy was so positive and professional and made everything work with all the changes we made. She captured the most beautiful moments from our wedding. She definitely has an eye for photography and pays close attention to detail. I’m so grateful Nancy was our photographer. I can’t imagine anyone else. I highly recommend her! Thank you so much for capturing our special day!
Any questions?
Nancy is absolutely phenomenal! From the engagement photos to the weeks after the wedding. My husband and I were relieved with how easy it was to work with Nancy. She made the whole process seamless and was very detail oriented which helped us so much! You couldn’t ask for a better photographer! I continue to look through the photos of the day and each time I find a new favorite. Her and her assistant, Hannah, were the perfect duo for our big day!

Nancy Shares is the superlative choice for all things photography.
As we wished not only to highlight the beauty of the day, but to continually revisit timeless memories, our choice to book Nancy Shares was a better decision than we could have ever imagined. It was truly astounding not only to see her craft unfold for our engagement photos, but in countless moments leading up to, during, and beyond our wedding day. She assisted us in creating a timeline to carefully map out the entire wedding day, ensuring maximum coverage and allowing for no stress whatsoever during the entire process.
Nancy has an innate and uncanny ability to capture incredible moments in awe-striking photographs and tell the story of your wedding as if it were straight out of a fairy tale. She offers incredibly kind and thoughtful direction to subjects of all ages, taking every single one of your ideas and concerns into account. Nancy effortlessly synthesizes both her expertise and your vision into a masterpiece of an album. We are beyond words every single time we revisit our wedding album! It is exhilarating to relive our day and all the love shared, so thoroughly and completely captured in Nancy's photographs.
We were also incredibly grateful that her extensive knowledge of the Catholic Mass enabled her to highlight crucial moments in the liturgy. My wife and I are so blessed to be able to recount these paramount moments through truly exceptional photographs.
Nancy is a patient, kind-hearted, tireless professional, and we recommend her without reservation for the most important photographs of your life!
Thank you for everything, Nancy!
We booked Nancy off of the recommendation of a friend. From the minute we started interacting she was very responsive and easy to talk to. That translated easily to our comfort level when we met her to do our engagement photos. On our wedding day, Nancy and her assistant were the kindest, most accommodating and professional people to interact with. She expertly moved about our venue very quickly and unobtrusively throughout our event. We received our images ahead of schedule and out of the over 1k images, there was not 1 bad photo! We were are so happy with the natural look of our photos!
Nancy Shares is a wonderful photographer. Her package included everything I wanted but the real bonus was working with Nancy. She went above and beyond in the job and her bubbly and enthusiastic personality made everyone comfortable. She is extremely well organized and did a great job of checking with us multiple times prior to the wedding if there were any changes to our photo list. The wedding day, she did a wonderful job of directing people and quickly and efficiently got all the photos taken. We had some last minute changes and Nancy easily included the extra photos. She captured every photo we wanted and sent them to us in a timely manner. We loved reliving our wedding day through our photos! Everything was fantastic, and I couldn’t recommend Nancy more!
I can’t even come up with the words to describe Nancy because sweet, generous, fun, reliable, creative and energetic just isn’t enough! I met Nancy at a friends wedding and knew I had to have her at mine. I have referred her to every engaged person I know since! She also has done professional photos and family photos for me since. You will not regret hiring Nancy!
I cannot begin to express how amazing Nancy is & was to work with. I was so hesitant to find someone who was reasonable with our budget but also did beautiful work & in todays economy and society it seems you only get one or the other, but not with Nancy! Not only are the photos beautiful beyond imagined, but her down to earth & warm personality makes you feel like you’ve known her forever, which when hiring a vendor I came to find is very important especially on your wedding day! She went above & beyond to accommodate our schedules, and delivered us such breathtaking photos so quickly. Her presence & patience made the entire day go so smoothly and took away all of those day of anxieties & nerves! She made sure to get all of the shots we requested plus more and in such a timely manner. Your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye & all that remains are your photos.. As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words, & when looking at these we are reminded of such beautiful memories that we will treasure & cherish forever. I cannot wait to print & hang them in our home!
Nancy was the best choice in a photographer for our wedding! She was extremely prepared for our extremely chilly December wedding with many cameras to help make my vision of outside photos come to life, even in 20 degrees! She was with us the whole day, traveling from barbershops where the groomsmen and groom got ready to the venue, to the church, and back! It was all effortless and I always felt like we were in perfect communication with each other. We absolutely love our wedding photos, she really captured the day for us in the most magical way and I am forever grateful for the beautiful photos that fill our home!
Nancy was absolutely fantastic! Not only did our pictures turn out BEAUTIFULLY, but she was organized, her communication throughout the whole planning process was very helpful, and she made the day of the wedding feel extremely comfortable - it felt like a close friend opposed to a vendor and this helped the day run extremely smooth!
I had a large wedding party, but she orchestrated perfect pictures with so many people, and kept our wedding day on schedule.
Not to mention, the pictures were perfectly edited and looked light and airy, just as I wanted. Would recommend every time!!
