I’m not one to blab about myself, but for us to really connect, it’s really important that we get to know each other.
Documenting that connection between two humans. It’s something I take very seriously. And while I may sound like the most serious person on planet earth, rest assured I’m a pretty laid back dude with a laid back philosophy. You be you. I’ll be me. The best images will come when you can really just let go and be yourself. I know, deep thoughts right? Well enough jibber-jabbering about me, I want to hear about you. I wanna hear your story.

Sean Hood really captured every special moment of our wedding with great style and was a really important part of making our wedding day so perfect. He helped organize without forcing all the shots we asked him to get (which was a lot) and they all came out amazing. I would highly recommend him for anyone’s wedding and you too will be impressed by his professionalism and talent!

Sean (as you can see in the photos attached) is an incredibly talented photographer, and it was a pleasure working with him to capture our wedding day. We wanted our photos to reflect real and authentic moments, and Sean captured exactly that. Despite us not really knowing how to pose in front of a camera, Sean guided us through the process with ease. He was very professional, yet personable…it felt like we were taking photos with a friend which made us feel at ease during the whirlwind of the wedding day. Choosing a photographer is such a crucial decision during the wedding planning process, and we're thrilled that we chose Sean. His skill and artistry truly shine through in his work!

We feel so lucky to have had Sean as our wedding photographer! Sean is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also a genuinely kind person who is easy to be around. He made us feel comfortable throughout the whole photography process - from engagement pics to wedding day photos - and you can see just by looking at our photos how relaxed we felt in his presence.
Sean was also great at communicating throughout the planning process. We planned our VT wedding while living on the west coast, but it felt like we were on the same coast thanks to his communication and flexibility when it came to finding times to chat.
We knew Sean would do a great job with our photos, but were truly amazed when we got our full wedding album! He did such an amazing job of capturing all of the aspects of our wedding day - from the portraits and ceremony pictures, to all of the “in betweens” and candids. We can truly feel the joy of our wedding day just by looking through our photos! Sean captured not just incredible photos, but also the atmosphere and joy of the day so beautifully. So many friends and family members have commented on how talented and kind Sean is! Our guests are still in awe of how well the photos turned out - many even told us they were some of the best they’ve ever seen! Words cannot fully express how grateful we are to have had Sean as our wedding photographer, and we 100% recommend him without hesitation!

When my husband proposed in 2019 I spent hours immediately after searching for a photographer that I wanted to capture our wedding, I mean hours. Going through all the different styles I eventually stumbled across Sean’s page and I instantly knew I had to have him to capture our big day. Fast forward to last weekend, after getting married in 2020 with a small intimate Covid wedding we finally had a vow renewal and big reception that we have always dreamed of. Sean was there and he surpassed all my expectations. I knew he was amazing, but every single image just makes me over the moon happy that I chose him. From the posing, to easy conversations Sean made the entire day and evening effortless. He dealt with our crazy families and bridal party like it was nothing. I cannot say enough good things about him, his style, his editing. All around 12/10 experience.

Sean photographed our solar eclipse wedding this year and was absolutely incredible. Months beforehand he started asking us questions that were very important considerations for the wedding that we didn't even think of (for example, where the sun was going to be in the sky for the eclipse 🤷🤣). His attention to detail is definitely one of the things that makes him one of the best in Vermont. He sent us so many incredible pictures within 24 hours - many family members thought it was the entire gallery because of the quality and quantity. At the end of the day, I would not hesitate to recommend Sean as your photographer. He knows venues well and will be sure to capture your day perfectly.

Sean was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish! We had the pleasure of having Sean photograph both our engagement session and wedding – and we’re so glad we did! Sean was professional, easy to work with, and really put us at ease when taking photos. On our wedding day, Sean and his second shooter managed to capture every single moment we could have asked for, and we LOVE how our photos turned out! Sean even managed to send us a sneak peek of our photos a day or two after the wedding! Our family and friends can’t stop gushing about how beautiful our wedding photos came out, and we couldn’t agree more. Hiring Sean was one of the absolute best decisions we made when planning our wedding, and we can’t recommend him enough! He is truly an incredible photographer!

Sean was the most professional, friendly, down-to-earth photographer to work with, for our engagement photos and wedding day! He worked with us to help us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He also captured special details and the best moments of our day. He was easy to work with, and the results were incredible. We highly recommend working with Sean for any couples looking for high-quality photos and a memorable experience!

Sean was our favorite vendor for our wedding. Leading up to the wedding he was quick to respond to emails and handled every point of contact with professionalism. We trusted he would do a great job from the first time we met him and this took a lot of stress off of us during the months leading up to it. He took the initiative to come to the venue a few nights before to see what lighting would be best for this time of year. You can really tell he takes pride in his work and loves what he does. On the day of the wedding he was the perfect combination of calm, funny, organized and efficient and captured our love better than I could have ever imagined - - and directed a large wedding party and an even larger family to where they were supposed to be and when! Highly recommend if you are looking for someone to make your Vermont wedding dreams come true.

Sean was absolutely amazing! We had the pleasure of being the subject of Sean’s art through our engagement pictures and our wedding! Sean was relatable, relaxing, easy going, and professional. He knew how to direct everyone to get the perfect shot and for that we are so grateful. I handed Sean the torch on our wedding and said you have full control to tell us what to do, and man am I glad for that. He was confident and got every shot imaginable. We could not picture our special day without Sean, and all of our guests agreed. Everyone thought Sean was on his best game, got the good shots, and on top of that was an incredible human with genuine reactions! We’d hire Sean ten times over. He truly made our day the best it could be, and went above and beyond by guiding me through the chaos of wedding days by always being by my side and encouraging my decisions or making the decisions for me that I didn’t want to. Hire Sean, you won’t regret it!

Sean Hood is a gifted photographer! My family and friends are impressed with his work. I couldn’t have been happier with the results of my wedding photos-and there were a lot. Very pleased! He captured everything I had requested and made sure Ian and I were happy before his departure. He’s truly a professional through and through and a delight to have around. For beautiful quality and memorable photos for your wedding archive, Sean Hood Photography is highly recommended!

Sean is absolutely incredible, and hands down one of the easiest and best decisions I made during the wedding planning process. If you’re looking to hire a photographer, look no further! Sean’s photos are out of this world. He was communicative, listened to all my ideas, was patient, helped guide us for photo poses, and absolutely delivered on our wedding day. He arrived early, was professional, but also fit right in with us and our bridal party and made us feel at ease throughout the day. His photos are STUNNING. When the post wedding blues set in, Sean was there to pick us up with 24hr sneak peak photos and we cried as we relieved our day all over again. We have a true work of art that we will cherish forever with the photos that Sean captured. We cannot recommend Sean enough. Don’t think twice, hire Sean now!

If you’re searching for a wedding photographer to document your special day, Sean should be your number one pick! The photos he captured were absolutely amazing. He provided us with an assortment of photos from all aspects of the wedding day and has given us the opportunity to reflect back on every moment imaginable. As displayed in his portfolio, it is evident that Sean’s work is of top notch quality. But beyond his ability to capture stunning photos, Sean also has an incredible personality that makes working with him an absolute joy. He has a keen knowledge of the wedding day and helps you in developing a schedule that makes sense and prioritizes your time and happiness on the day of the wedding. Sean even surprised my wife and I with a sneak peek gallery the day after the wedding! Our families were also quick to compliment how professional Sean was. He has earned our highest recommendation, and if you are fortunate enough to hire him before he is booked up, just know that you are in great hands. Thank you Sean!

Sean did both our engagement and wedding photos in MA. Sean’s photography and editing is exactly what I was looking for - light and airy. He spent a lot of time with me on the phone for planning and I never felt rushed when we talked. He directed us well and is very charismatic and calm! We felt relaxed the whole time we were with Sean. On wedding day, Sean took advantage of breaks in the rain to pose us outside, because he knew that was important to me. We got wedding sneak peeks in less than 48 hours, and our final album was delivered far sooner than expected! When I requested edits for some of our photos (forgot to take the tag on my wedding dress off, OOPS), he fixed them right away. Sean also dealt with some unexpected large parties wanting to take formal photos with us, without batting an eye.
There were some challenges to note, as an explanation for the 4 star rating. There were some delays in email responses; for example, taking ~1 month to respond to an email re: our preferred second shooter, who by that time was unavailable. Thankfully, our arranged second shooter Langston was great, but this still was a little frustrating for us.
We also experienced issues with timing throughout the day. We feel formal portraits could have been completed more efficiently, and Sean could have been more assertive in organizing people for the photos (rather than needing my husband and best man to locate everyone). This resulted in a lot of time spent for photos and as a result, we unfortunately missed out on key moments of our wedding including all of cocktail hour, our food being served to our table, and about an hour of our reception, despite doing first looks/ family portraits before the ceremony.
Sean’s work is timeless, and he is a great person and talented photographer. While we are overall are very happy with our memories and photos of our special day, we are bummed that we missed parts of our wedding day. Thank you very much!

Sean is awesome! Our "destination" wedding was 5+ hours away in January, outdoors in Vermont. Booking a local photog wasn't even a consideration so we looked for a photog closer to our venue. Sean did our Engagement session as well, and his pictures are amazing! He is very calm, climbed through the snow to take great wedding pics, just a great person behind great camera work.

Sean was the perfect wedding photographer. He knows weddings so well and has an amazing eye for lighting and backgrounds. He was never in the way or interrupting special moments, but he was always around at the exact right time to capture funny or sweet things as they happened. Sean arrived early and got to work right away, but wasn't bothered at all when our schedule got thrown off. He was calm and assured me we could still fit everything in, which we did and more! Sean was also helpful with planning; he sent us a photograph schedule template which ended up being a great resource to make sure the whole wedding party knew the plan! He took a LOT of pictures, and we were looking through "sneak peeks" by breakfast the next morning!

We feel incredibly lucky to have been able to book Sean for our Burlington micro wedding. He’s calm, professional, and so much fun to work with! Sean has such an incredible eye for detail and knew all the best locations in Burlington to capture our first look photos! Not only is Sean a talented photographer, but he is also an absolutely brilliant videographer. This was by far the best money we spent on our wedding—Sean you delivered so much more than we could’ve ever hoped for!! We can't recommend you highly enough!

Sean was amazing to be around on our wedding day! He made us both feel comfortable, made the first look special and fun and just has one of those personalities that brings light. I'm so glad he was a part of our day; you can really tell he loves what he does. Even before we got our photos back we were so thrilled we had Sean, and then when we got our photos back (very quickly), we were BLOWN AWAY. His work product is truly unparalleled and so beautiful.

Sean and his assistant did a great job photographing our wedding at sugarbush in early July. We got photos that we loved and some great candids of the guests. He did a good job of taking charge to get the family shots and wedding party shots done after the ceremony. We would definitely recommend Sean to any future couples.

We hired Sean to capture our special day, and we couldn't be any happier! I had seen his work from several other friends who'd been married, and he was the first vendor I emailed the day we got engaged! He was so professional and took charge right away to make sure all the photos we wanted were captured. Sean spent a lot of time with us on the phone to go over the details of our day as well as answered numerous emails on questions we had. Sean was very accommodating with last minute changes on the meeting location as well as the timeline of photos. I felt very comfortable shooting with him, as he gave us plenty of direction and made adjustments as needed. He also had really creative ideas on locations for photos. During the reception, wedding guests were coming up to request photos on their phones and Sean was always right there to take the professional photos too. He kept communicating with us all night to make sure there was nothing else he was missing. After the wedding, he gave us more than a generous number of sneak peek photos that are all absolutely stunning! It's been so hard for me not to post them daily and we can't wait for the remainder! I would highly recommend working with Sean for your wedding day!!

Sean is an amazing photographer! We are so happy with all of our pictures. He is so calm and relaxed which made the day a lot less stressful. We had a very large wedding party and he did a great job directing and organizing everyone in order to produce the best shots. He was also easy to connect with and fit in as if he was one of our guests. We would recommend him to photograph any event!

Seriously, stop looking for another photographer and hire Sean. He was beyond professional, patient and accommodating. Our families and guests could not stop raving about him throughout the whole reception and day after. We received our sneak peek photos less than 24 hours from when we said good bye to him at our wedding and we were absolutely FLOORED at the photos. We figured we would only like a few, we loved all of them. I am so excited to see the rest. He is above and beyond what we could've asked for from a photographer, while also just being an awesome human. Thank you Sean!!

Hiring Sean to photograph our wedding was the best choice we could have made! He was professional, accommodating and easygoing. When choosing a photographer I relied heavily on others' reviews and I am so glad that I did! He exceeded my (extremely high) expectations and his photos truly captured us as a couple. Words cannot express how grateful I am that we had him to capture our day. Our guests could not stop raving about how great he was both during our wedding and after seeing all of the photos. I would recommend Sean to both my closest family and friends as well as a stranger. You won't be disappointed with your choice to hire him!!

He is super easy going, wonderful to work with, he goes with the flow, and he captured every special moment at our wedding!

Sean was a wonderful choice for my our engagement photos. He was incredibly responsive and took what we wanted into account. His pricing was wonderful and his photos were absolutely amazing. He got the photos to us within a couple weeks of our photo shoot and gave us great quality photos-- it is hard to even pick a favorite! I would absolutely recommend him for any photo needs. Sean was amazing!
