“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. We didn't provide Sharon with a whole lot of guidance (sorry about that!) and yet our pictures were exactly what we'd hoped for—and then some. If you've had the good fortune to have Sharon's name pop up in your search for a wedding photographer, go ahead and count those lucky stars—then cross your fingers that she's available on your date!”

“I am incredibly grateful to Sharon and so thankful we were able to find her. It was very important for us to have natural moments captured with minimal posing. After talking to Sharon about our goals, she was clearly the perfect choice. I am so blown away by her talent. Beautiful, natural, unique. We have received so many compliments on our photographs with praise of her style- both engagement and wedding day. In addition to her skill, she is a warm and exceptional person that puts you at ease. Very personable, communicative and organized.”

“We hired Sharon to shoot our intimate destination wedding at The Ace Hotel. She was absolutely AMAZING! The photos came out better than I imagined. Sharon is a calm, talented and kind individual. She made us feel so comfortable and fit right in with our family, which was very important for our intimate wedding. I highly recommend Sharon and hope that she can shoot our family again someday!”

“It’s the moments unfolding—the laughter, the tears, the glances, the presence of your loved ones—that speak to me. All the beautiful events orchestrating around you come together to tell your love story.”
