The atmosphere, the light, the quiet anticipation, the people gathered around you, the details chosen so thoughtfully.

You want it all remembered beautifully.


Bright. Natural. Joyful

This is how you want your day to feel and your photos to look.

Timeless photos for you to look back on and treasure always.

Each moment of your wedding day will have a story attached to it. And each of those moments will fly by.

If you want photos of you enjoying those moments, YOU actually have to be a part of them.

After all, your wedding or elopement is about so much more than receiving beautiful photos... 

It's about experiencing this day to its full potential. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
It's about being in the moment, living your dreams, and absolutely loving your day. With the intention to first make memories, then have them captured beautifully and remembered tangibly.

That's where I come in.

Hey! I'm Sheri

The way I see it, there are no rules with weddings anymore.
There are no formulas to follow. No right or wrong ways to plan.
And no right or wrong ways to photograph it.

But, having photographed weddings for 9 years now, there is
one thing I believe to be absolute: Your wedding should revolve
around you.

A personalized experience where you two are captured
genuinely - without overly staged or unnatural poses. And
meaningful moments with family and friends that aren't
interrupted by a camera.

Which is why I like to remain present but unseen - Capturing all
of your important experiences as candidly and naturally
possible. And, it's why you'll find that I provide more than just a day-of experience but helpful service on all of the days leading up to it.

PASSIONATELY, INTENTIONALLY, & NATURALLY DOCUMENTING YOUR EXPERIENCES

We chose Sheri because we loved her bright, true-to-colour photography and the beautiful combination of film and digital.

She kept the whole day flowing smoothly without ever making us feel pressured, making sure we had beautiful portraits while still getting us back to cocktail hour to enjoy time with our guests.

We felt and looked like a million dollars! The photographs feel timeless. Sheri is your girl. Look no further.


- Whitney

Sheri made us feel relaxed and allowed us to actually be present with our guests.

That, paired with her photography skills and timeless editing, made flying her to Italy the easiest decision ever—and yes, she exceeded every expectation.

We eloped in the Tuscany region of Italy and weren’t too familiar with the area, but we never felt stressed thanks to Sheri’s experience. She scouted our wedding villa and the nearby towns of Montepulciano and Pienza before we even arrived. She already knew the best spots and views, making both the pre-wedding day and the wedding itself feel effortless.
