Sheree was amazing!! She was so helpful with getting people in photos, helping me out with the timeline, and her photos are gorgeous, of course. I could not recommend her more. She...
was so kind and I would definitely hire her again!
The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding!
From our very first meeting with Sheree, we knew she was the perfect choice to capture our wedding day. Her warm, welcoming energy insta...
ntly made us feel comfortable, and her portfolio was filled with a beautiful variety of work that matched our vision. She was incredibly patient, answering every single question we had (and there were a lot!), and it made us feel so confident that we were in good hands.
We had a destination wedding in Mexico, which could’ve been tricky to plan, but Sheree went above and beyond. She checked in with us regularly leading up to the big day, making sure flights, rooms, and every little detail were in place. She even stayed the required nights at the resort to avoid vendor fees, showing how much she truly values her clients. To top it off, she offered to capture our welcome party since she was already there—a thoughtful touch that really meant a lot to us!
The day after the wedding, Sheree sent us sneak peek photos, and they absolutely blew our minds! They were STUNNING, capturing the joy, beauty, and energy of the day. She even put together an adorable mini video of the day that I can’t stop rewatching—it included us walking down the aisle, our first dance, and so many special moments. It’s the perfect recap of our day, and I’m so grateful to have it.
On the wedding day, Sheree was an absolute joy to work with. Her energy was calm and positive, and even when things ran a little off schedule, she kept us relaxed and in the moment. She made sure to capture every important shot and so much more. For my first look with my dad, she even created a private moment for us that I hadn’t even thought to ask for—it made the experience that much more special. She also worked seamlessly with my makeup artist and hair stylist, ensuring that everything went smoothly and that I felt beautiful and confident.
And as a special touch, Sheree even offered to edit our dog, Hugo, into one of our wedding photos since he couldn’t be there. This thoughtfulness meant the world to us, and we can’t wait to see our fur baby included in such a special way.
We truly couldn’t be happier with Sheree’s work and her dedication to making our day perfect. If you’re looking for a photographer who feels like a friend, brings joy and calm, and goes above and beyond to capture every detail, Sheree is everything you could hope for and more.
Sheree is AMAZING. We love our wedding photos (as well as our engagement photos); she did a fantastic job of capturing the joy of each moment. Not only were the photos great, but S...
heree was so wonderful throughout the wedding planning planning process. She reached out periodically to check in and see if there was anything she could do to help us. It was great to have her help with making our wedding day timeline. She is professional, friendly, and overall awesome to work with. She did a great job of making us, two awkward people, look natural and amazing in photos. I expected to feel uncomfortable doing a photo shoot, but she made it so easy and fun! I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Sheree is Professional, experienced and dependable- I would absolutely recommend her to photograph your special event!
Sheree provided excellent support and services, they were communicative early on and worked with us and our wedding coordinator closely. We appreciate their responsiveness, profess...
ionalism and reasonable rates!
I have been trying to find words to explain my heartbreak over my wedding images for months. This was a once in a lifetime event, and we paid Sheree $5,000 to wreck the images of a...
day I have dreamt of. We are gutted. I don’t often share my thoughts online, but I don’t want someone to have the same result (plus, she sent an email asking for a review). I could say much more, but, character limits.
I’ve never heard of a photographer blaming poor work on the sun, gear, etc. She agreed to shoot an outdoor wedding where the dress is going to be white and grass is going to be green, and to adjust the toning. What we got in NO WAY matches her portfolio, as much as she would claim it does. Her second shooter that we paid for was no better- she had excuses for that too. When I hire a professional and pay for the top package, I assume that they can do the job. She is saying she is “light and airy” and a “storyteller” What I see from the photos is highly overexposed and out of focus images.
When I showed her the blurry images, she claimed that it is “soft focus.” I showed her images that had a tree or leaf sharp, yet an entire family, posed and still, out of focus. My beaded dress and flowers had zero detail. She claims I’m “zooming in and nitpicking,” but these are blurry and blown at even 50%.
Focus and highlights weren’t the only problem. The majority of photos have cut off limbs and heads. We have shots where my husband is missing half his head. She shot the entire bridal party from the ground up; not flattering. The gallery choices were bizarre. 500 pictures do you no good if it’s 500 terrible ones. The “candid” shots don’t tell a story- random chewing, many shots of the caterer’s trinkets, or people staring into the distance. She said that she examines/edits each photo individually. The green shadows, closed eyes, limbs cropped, and gray teeth say otherwise.
I did try to fix this. After emails and a phone call, she sent me a few shots she could try to salvage. The first few she re-edited looked grainy but promising. She purchased Topaz to try and help. The final re-edits, which I waited another several weeks for, looked nothing like the handful she had provided first. We felt our faces were smoothed over like plastic, with black, missing teeth. Everyone is muted and corpse-like. My husband's green suit is black, the whites are brown and pink. Some faces are completely gray.
$5,000 later and nothing to show for it, she won’t take any responsibility, claiming, "She is only human” and that “I’m someone who just can’t be made happy.” She had the audacity to state if I wanted anything else “fixed” it would be $15 per photo. My husband did finally get angry in an email- but it took a lot to get to that point. We have to pay someone to retake some bride and groom images, but we can’t recreate the memories or guests. We got a “Here’s a $500 credit for the album you didn’t use,” email, but no other refund offer, just lots of “per my contract” and an attitude of “you’re just impossible to please.” At one point she mentioned that I “just don’t like her work.”
I can back my words up with pictures. I know people will think “Her reviews are great.” Being a heartbroken bride is not what I planned on. Pictures are the only thing left after the day is done. I would much rather have even some unedited images than to be writing this review.
Sheree has quickly grown to become a part of our family! Sheree was our photographer when I asked my husband to marry me one year ago so there was never any question who we would a...
sk to photograph our special day. She helped my husband and I surprise each other with custom wedding gifts we will cherish forever. Her son Dom is also an amazing, budding, young photographer in the making! Thank you Sheree, Dom, and Zoe for making our day so memorable and capturing EVERY moment beyond our very highest expectations.
Sheree was an incredible photographer! She was professional and super "on it" from the moment I contacted her. We wanted things to be a little different than normal and she rolled ...
with everything we asked for. She helped us corral the guests and get through an extensive portrait list faster than we thought possible, and made time for some cute couple shots we hadn't even planned on. She's a fantastic addition to any wedding!
Sheree made our engagement and wedding SO memorable. She has a gift in capturing the most beautiful photos that look natural & effortless. I was looking for a photographer that cou...
ld direct people well, and let me know what looks best in a photo. She delivered plus more. If looking at her work alone doesn't convince you, know that she will deliver more than you could expect. She is an artist behind that camera, and to top it all off she's super cool and fun to talk to. I'm a Sheree customer for life!
Sheree was an amazing wedding photographer for my special day. She cared about what I wanted more than anything. She made sure we stayed on track of time according to the schedule....
She also fixed anything we noticed in photos that we didn’t care for in such a timely fashion for no charge!
My family and I have used Sheree as our family photographer for almost 2 years, she has exceeded our expectations and we wouldn't choose any one else to capture all of our small fa...

n to our ideas but also gave us great advice, and so much fun to be around! She made everything so smooth on the day of the wedding and we got our pictures done so fast, which gave us plenty of time to actually spend with our guests and family. She even had some sneak peek pictures ready to go after dinner was done and was able to display them on her laptop for the guests to see! We have gotten so many compliments on our photos and we are obsessed with them. Sheree is our new photographer for life, I highly recommend her for any and all types of pictures/events!

t breath taking wedding photos we've ever seen and we're so happy they are ours haha. She is extremely professional with getting everyone to lineup and cooperate to get these amazing pics and makes you feel like you're magazine ready after every shot. Her ability to bring out the colors of the sky on a cloudy day or a sunny day is amazing to me and she just captured so many "Kodak Moments" for us that I could not have imagined any other photographer in the area to do as good of a job as she did, especially with handling the rowdy groomsmen lol. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Just stop looking farther and give Sheree a call!
Sheree is such a joy to work with! She makes taking pictures so fun and easy, and we are so grateful to her for capturing the best day of our lives! So far, all of the pictures we ...
have seen truly capture who we are as individuals and a couple, which is something that was really important to us in our wedding photographer. I would absolutely recommend Sheree to anyone searching for a wedding photographer! :)
Sheree did the photography for our home wedding, planned in a hurry as soon as marriage licenses are available after Covid shut down. This was supposed to be our church wedding da...

Sheree is professional and so much fun! She worked tirelessly all day for us. She had a second photographer and didn't miss a moment. As a bride I feel like you miss so many moment...
s while you're getting ready, but looking back on her photos I was able to experience them. For example my husband encouraged our ring bearer up the aisle. I would not have been able to experience that if she didn't capture it.
You can feel the excitement and emotions in her photos and during a world in a pandemic she was able to capture it all for those that couldn't be there.
In addition all all mentioned above Sheere goes the extra mile. Due to the current pandemic my Grandma had to watch virtually, but Sheere went above and beyond expectations and added a photo with my Grandma digitally edited in and that photo is so special to us. Don't look anywhere else for a photographer, Sheere is the best!
Sheree was amazing! She was bubbly and outgoing. She paid attention to detail and everyone feel so comfortable!
Everything went so smooth! She’s GREAT! Made us feel very comfortable.
Sheree has always done such an exceptional job with my photos! She’s professional, personable, and passionate! I love her eye for capturing us in such a unique way! I refer all my ...
