“Sharon has the innate ability to capture an essence - of the moment, our relationship, our celebration. The results are magical. From our very first coffee meeting everything felt authentic. We knew we were going to be in good hands. After getting to know us as people and as a couple Sharon let her intuition, keen eye, and deft sense of space do the rest. Anytime our parents visit and see our wedding photos, a compliment to Sharon immediately follows. We are so very grateful for her hard work and the photographs that are not just stunning, but unique, intimate and genuine.”

“We couldn't have dreamed up a better photographer than Sharon. Sharon is thoughtful, bright, nimble, intuitive, professional, and incredibly hardworking.
