About this vendor
Hi! I'm Sharon. I've been photographing weddings since 2010, and it's something that I absolutely love. I would be honored to tell the story of one of the most important days of your life. I offer several different packages for different budgets. I am based out of Missouri and Illinois, and will be happy to travel to your location for your wedding day. It is a pleasure to get to know each and every one of my couples, and I consider it a great honor when someone chooses me to photograph their wedding. I'd love to meet up over coffee and find out if we're a good match!

Sharon is an extremely talented and professional photographer. She had such a calming presence and was efficient yet careful to ensure that we got every shot we wanted. She helped ...
pose us and sought to get to know us as people. She learned all the names of our wedding party and family members so quickly! I can’t wait to see all the edited photos and the album she’s going to create for us!! She worked with us to negotiate a very fair price since we already had engagement photos.
We are so thankful and blessed that we were able to have Sharon as our wedding photographer! Sharon did an incredible job with our engagement photos and was absolutely amazing on o...
ur wedding day! Sharon is a great communicator, organized, adaptable with her schedule, and went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and had us feeling ready and prepared for the day of the wedding. She is so caring and supportive and helped calm our nerves throughout the whole process and on our big day. On our wedding day we actually had very strong gusts of winds before and during our outdoor ceremony and she still did a fantastic job at capturing great quality pictures even with the wind. You can tell she is very experienced with wedding photography and will make the wedding photography planning process easy and cover everything you need including timeline, family pictures, and amazing couple shots. We could not recommend more highly and give her 5 stars!
Sharon was easily the best and easiest decision we made in the wedding planning process! From the minute I reached out to her, she instantly put me at ease and took a genuine inter...
est in me and my now-husband's story! She truly cared to capture our love, not only the superficial. My husband an I were planning a wedding from out of state, which was not easy, but she helped us through the process so much, creating a detailed timeline of the day and creating a shot list. She kept our day running so smoothly and was such a calming, positive presence on the day! I cannot say enough good things about Sharon! We received some sneak peeks of the photos and are so in love! I would one-hundred percent recommend Sharon! You will not regret it!
Sharon is kind, patient, funny, professional, an AMAZING photogropher and the nicest person to work with! She exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t have chosen a better photogr...
apher for our special day. She did such a great job during the ceremony and reception, and making sure she got all the magical shots and directing everything so smoothly. Such a great experience and I couldn’t recommend Sharon enough! THE BEST!

able to help create a calm atmosphere which leads to unbelievable photos. We are so thankful for her and can’t imagine booking anyone else!
I was lucky enough to meet Sharon when she photographed the wedding of one of my best friends and I was a bridesmaid. Based upon how wonderful their photos were and the rave review...
s of my friend, I immediately thought of Sharon when it came time for us to look for a photographer. Sharon was amazing throughout the entire process. She was kind, helpful, and answered all of my questions. Sharon and her assistant were also such troopers on the day of our wedding. We knew there was a chance for extreme heat and humidity when we booked a Stl summer wedding...but phew. Did I mention it was an outdoor event? Somehow she still managed to capture amazing, beautiful photos when I was sure everyone would look like they were melting from the heat. I can't thank her enough for everything or recommend her enough to any future bride.
From my initial meeting with Sharon, I knew that I had found someone wonderful and special. She was so easy to talk to and it was evident how much she genuinely cared about getting...
to know you and providing the best work for you. Sharon has proven to be nothing less than the kind and wonderful person I knew I had met that day. She made the entire process, from engagement pictures, to wedding day, to previews, to delivery of photos seamless and enjoyable. She is one of the kindest and sweetest people you will ever meet, while also remaining professional. My husband and I love every photo we have from her and will cherish them forever. I could not be more pleased that I found Sharon and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
Sharon did a wonderful job as our wedding photographer! She was so easy to work with and really made both my husband and I very comfortable. Even our friends and family had nothing...
but great things to say about her. Sharon is the package deal with her sweet personality and her knowledge of photogrpahy. We recently received our wedding photos back and they are beautiful. I would highly recommend Sharon.
Sharon is INCREDIBLE! We found her photos and loved them so we set up a phone call. Literally, Sharon is like a friend who you can pick up with after 10 years. She makes you so com...
fortable (even my fiancé... we all know men and pictures 🤣) and her photos are gorgeous. I cannot say enough.
Sharon was my absolute favorite vendor! She was so on top of things, and really worked with us when we had to move out of the area before the wedding. The photos are absolutely gor...
geous, and she had a calm and helpful atmosphere on the wedding day! I can't say enough good things!
I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Sharon! I work in the wedding business (I am a videographer) so I was very picky who I wanted to hire for my ve...
ndors! Sharon completely exceeded my expectations! From booking, to the engagement session, to THE BIG DAY, and receiving our photographs she was a complete professional. Her work is simply amazing. She flawlessly captures every emotion, detail and moment and her variety and unique style will blow you away! When booking a photographer you need someone who can manage the wedding party, family and guests while also keeping the bride and groom her priority and she did just that! Aaron and I will treasure our photos forever and I am so happy we chose Sharon to be apart of our perfect day!
Sharon was amazing! She is so calming and easy to work with. She helped so much and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
I can't tell you how much we love Sharon. She met with is, spent 2 hours getting to know us, and we couldn't help but pick her for our big day pictures with her great personality ...
and rates that fit our budget. the engagement session went great. she was so willing to turn it into a family session with my husband's daughter involved and as hard as it is to please an 11 year old, even she loved Sharon making the pictures fun and easy. On our big day we had planned out those must have shots, she kept on a great schedule (which helped keep me calmer), she was quick and took so many pictures that I'm sure when I get them back, I won't be able to pick my favorites. She definitely makes you feel so special on your big day. I can definitely see us contacting her later in life for more of her wonderful photos!
I fell across Sharon on The Knot. After falling in love with her style of photography, I called up some old friends who I found that had used her for their wedding. After their enc...
ouraging words, I went ahead and scheduled a phone meeting to talk even more with Sharon. What can I say- We loved her sweet personality and attention to detail, so we booked her for the wedding! Parker and I were fortunate to have Sharon take our engagement photos, so we got to k ow Sharon before the big day. We were nervous to take pictures, but we ended up having a blast together, and having lovely engagement pictures to show for it. Our wedding day went so smoothly, and Sharon worked perfectly with the videographer that we hired as well. Sharon is truly an experienced professional. She knew all the right pictures to take, made Family pictures so smoothly, and captured all of the special moments. I absolutely adore the sneak peaks we have seen so far, and can’t wait for the rest of the pictures. If you’re looking for an amazing wedding photographer- Sharon is it!!
I’m so thankful to have met Sharon. We live in St Louis and she traveled for us for everything from our initial meeting, engagement photos, and wedding. We instantly felt a connect...
ion with her and enjoyed getting to know her over the past year of wedding planning. Sharon’s experience definitely shows through her presentation and work and she made us feel confident early on in the planning process. Her photographs seem effortless but it’s clear she has so much talent and an amazing eye. She really went the extra mile to understand what who we are as a couple and what we we would like our photos to highlight. I would recommend Sharon to any bride or someone looking to have family photos taken- she is amazing. She brought her assistant Kathleen to our wedding as well and their teamwork was unbeatable. Enjoyed them both and they were the perfect compliment to our day.
OMG I can write pages about Sharon. First, Sharon was recommended to me by a friend and after I spoke to her on the phone I knew she was the right person to photograph our wedding....
Sharon is extremely calming, incredibly knowledgeable and is super efficient while working! Her photos are absolutely breathtaking. One of my favorite things about Sharon is that while she taking the photos, she gets very excited about the photos she is taking, and that made me feel confident and relaxed. All of my bridesmaids and family members commented that Sharon made everyone feel very comfortable which is SO important in photography. Sharon is always smiling, emphasizing the passion she has for her career. You will feel like your wedding is her first one because of her true excitement, but the quality of the photos will emphasize her years of experience. I am so happy to have worked with Sharon, and to get to know her as a person. I'm sad to be moving away because I would certainly hire her again for family photos.
I cannot say enough great things about choosing Sharon as a wedding photographer! Her photos are beautiful and she's wonderful to work with. I am not very comfortable in front of t...
he camera and Sharon made both our wedding and engagement sessions fun and relaxing.
She was super helpful in planning the day and came up with a few different schedule options for us to get as many photos as we could. She responds to any emails/texts very quickly and was incredibly accommodating to any last minute requests for photo ideas.
We got both our engagement and wedding photos back sooner than expected which was great and Sharon was always happy to make any quick edits to certain photos that we chose. In addition to taking great photos of the wedding party and family, she took some amazing candid photos that we slipped in guests 'thank you' cards as well.
As soon as you choose Sharon, you'll know right away you made the right choice. She's so knowledgeable and her pictures speak for themselves. She's fun and kind and just wonderful to have as part of your wedding day :)
Where do I even start 😊
Hiring Sharon was, without a doubt, the best choice my husband and I made for our wedding! She is amazing! She is very flexible and puts so much hard work...
into every part of the process. Plus, you have to take into consideration that you will be working with and in contact with whoever you choose, for 6 months up to a year. So you should choose someone who is going to make that time enjoyable and relaxing. Sharon is 100% that person. She is, overall, very nice and calming and extremely professional. On the day of the wedding it felt like her and her husband Andrew (usually her second photographer) were regular guests at my wedding because they are honestly very enjoyable people to be around. long story short I cannot rave enough about Sharon Guillotte Photography because, honestly, she is simply the best! 💜😊🎉
Sharon was great! She did both our engagement and wedding photos and worked with our schedules, which was a feat considering my husband and I lived in different states. We don’t re...
ally like taking pictures, but Sharon made us feel relaxed and comfortable. She did an amazing job getting all our family portraits and wedding party photos in a tight schedule. We especially loved that we got all the rights to the photos so we could choose how and where to get them printed.
Sharon was fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for a more likable, helpful, professional photographer on our big day! She is easy going, and has a way with people to ensure that spec...

gh of her and her husband :) I had full faith and trust that they would give my husband and I the most beautiful pictures to treasure forever and they fully delivered. Sharon and I communicated throughout the whole process and she always put me at ease and affirmed me time and time again that whatever I wanted/was comfortable with was what they would do. My family, wedding party and friends commented on how kind and relaxed they were throughout our preparation, wedding mass and reception. We are forever grateful for them!! :)
Sharon was referred to me by another photographer and I can't even describe how much I love all her work. The first time we met was when she did our engagement pictures and followe...
d us to literally the middle of nowhere. She was so kind and had such a positive energy about her. She made us feel so relaxed and at ease. Fast forward to our wedding day and not only did we get the pleasure of working with Sharon, but her husband, Andrew, too! Our entire bridal party commented on how fun they were and shared all of the same feelings that we had. I would recommend her a million times over to anyone looking for an upbeat, creative, genuinely kind photographer!!
Sharon was AMAZING! I loved working with her from the suprise snow we got for our engagement pictures to the beautiful day we got for our wedding! she was super fun but made sure I...
got all of the shots I wanted, we had some rowdy groomsmen and she was really good at keeping everyone focused while still making sure it was fun! I would highly reccomend Sharon, she's great
My husband and I are beyond thrilled and thankful that we chose Sharon to capture our wedding day. From the moment we begin our email exchanges with Sharon to the day of our weddin...
g everything was just amazing and flawless! It was very easy to communicate with her as she was very efficient at responding to my questions and emails. She worked with us a lot to get the wedding day schedule just as we wanted it.
Sharon went above and beyond the role of "photographer" on the day of the wedding, helping carry bags, give us directions and even make sure everyone stayed calm. Our final edited pictures were finished quickly and were exactly what we were hoping for. We couldn't have asked for a more professional, talented, and great photographer to work with than Sharon.
Sharon was above and beyond what I could have imagined. I was referred to Sharon and sent her an email explaining my wedding date and that I was in need of a photographer. Sharon r...
esponded promptly and we were able to meet and discuss what I was looking for and she specifically asked about my husband and I and our love story. I thought that was wonderful. Sharon wanted to make sure that I received every wedding picture I ever wanted and truly captured all of the special moments and then some. Sharon also made a point to photograph the meaningful pares of my reception including an easel that my late uncle used to use that displayed our seating chart to the homevade cookie bar that included cookies from our grandma's and my mom. Sharon did a wonderful job of capturing everything from my special day without even knowing she was there I highly recommend her to anyone and have referred her frequently! I cherish my wedding pictutes, thanks to Sharon!
Sharon and her husband, Andy, were absolutely amazing! Everything from the first time we met to sending me pictures afterwards was a wonderful experience! Sharon was so comforting ...
when I was nervous and was always exactly where I needed her to be, when I needed her to be there. She never got in my face or made me feel crowded and got so many wonderful pictures. They were everywhere and nowhere at once! Sharon was even terrific with my 3 year old stepdaughter! From what my husband told me, Andy was also really great with the guys. I know keeping my family in one place for more than two seconds can be a HUGE pain, because my brothers are easily distracted and from what I was told he actually managed to keep them together when taking pictures! Accomplishing keeping them together like that should definitely get him an award! These two really showed me the difference between a real photographer and just a friend with a good camera who took a couple photography classes. They were amazing! Getting a real photographer is DEFINITELY worth the extra money and I would definitely recommend Sharon to anyone wanting beautiful photos to look back on. They captured every moment beautifully!
Sharon is as much an incredible photographer as she is a person. Our first meeting with Sharon was over the phone and she immediately put me and my husband at ease and made us fee...
l taken care of and heard! She has a heart of gold and truly listened to what we wanted and delivered AMAZING photos for both our engagement session and wedding. I could not have asked for anything better. She replies to emails rapidly and keeps track of all the tiny details so you don't have to worry about it the day of. We also got all of our pictures back more quickly than I was ever expecting. If I could, I would have Sharon photograph everything for us the rest of our lives. I HIGHLY recommend choosing Sharon... you will NOT regret it. She has such a talent for her craft and she is so easy going and fun to work with. Thanks Sharon for capturing our day so beautifully... we absolutely LOVE every single photo and can't believe how well they turned out! You are the best! :)
Sharon is a real treat to work with and her photography is beautiful. She went above and beyond to make our wedding and engagement photo sessions smooth, quick, and (best of all) f...
un. She was very accomodating to the specific vision I had for my big day and I, my family, and my friends enjoyed working with her.
Can't say enough good things about Sharon. She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and the quality of both were phenomenal. She directs the crowd without being bossy a...
nd she captures real and beautiful moments as they naturally occur. She was my saving grace on my wedding day, keeping me calm and ensuring I got the photos I wanted. She was everywhere snapping photos and never missed a moment. She is truly talented and knows how to control the chaos of the wedding day. She's super sweet and knows how to make nervous brides and grooms feel at ease. When I saw how gorgeous my photos turned out, I knew I made the right choice.
Sharon did an amazing job as our wedding photographer! She stood out to me from other photographers because she scheduled to meet with us to simply just get to know each other befo...
re we even booked her. We really enjoyed her great personality and, of course, her amazing photography skills. Our decision was the right choice because all of our wedding pictures turned out great! And she was so sweet to be around while taking all of the pictures all day. Would recommend her to all couples!!
Sharon is such a wonderful human and photographer. She's so sweet, and so calming (something EVERY bride needs on her wedding day.) I mentioned I was thirsty while getting ready, a...
nd before even my own mother could hunt down some water, Sharon had a bottle of water in my hand. She's got an eye for beautifully artistic shots, but also does a great job of capturing traditional moments that you don't want to miss. Highly recommend working with Sharon, as we hope to do again soon!
Sharon was by far one of the best things about our wedding day. She not only took great photos, but she was incredibly organized and on top of everything, a welcome relief amid th...
e inevitable disorder of a wedding. She also has an uncanny ability to be everywhere at once and was able to capture every second of our day. As I type this there's a photo she took of my wife and I front and center on my desk, one of many great pictures!
