Sydney & her team approach all weddings with the art of being present in the moment. Images are created not forced. When a more composed portrait is required, couples are guided through natural, everyday actions like embracing, cuddling, walking, and kissing - rather than contrived poses. This approach fosters a relaxed and effortless atmosphere, allowing each couple's unique personalities to become the focal point.
a recent review from Andrea & Garrett…
“Sydney & her team are professional unlike anything I've seen in the wedding industry during my 3.5 years as a fiancéS!
Sydney IS undoubtedly the most skilled, professional, calm, and joyful wedding vendor we've had the privilege of working with. Sydney’s approach to every situation exudes professionalism, calmness, and skill. When reminiscing about some very special moments on my wedding day, SYDNEY was right there, seamlessly capturing the magic. Our photos are not just beautiful; they are truly one-of-a-kind. Sydney’s ability to capture moments that felt natural and organic while ensuring they translated beautifully into editorial-worthy photographs is a special skill that sets sydney apart.”

FAQs

We do not work off a specific shots list. We document the day is it unfolds.
In the past, we’ve seen extensive shots list become overwhelming to the couple & us as photographers. We want the day to run smoothly so we focus our energy on creating a great timeline to capture all of the photos our clients desire.
We do, however, request a family shots list / requested shots list from every couple.
-
We shoot a mixture of digital and film throughout the day. We shoot with 4-5 high end film cameras and 2-3 high end digital cameras. ALL moments such as your first look, family portraits, ceremony, first dances, etc are always shot on digital primarily. We use film as a secondary medium throughout those moments. Film scans will be added to your final gallery within 2-3 weeks of the day itself. Digital images are set within our typical turnaround time 8-10 weeks.

However, please note that an exclusivity clause like this entails an additional charge of 25% of your total package as a 'loss of income' fee.
