Absolute perfection!

Sherri and her team are simply AMAZING!!! While we planned our wedding during COVID and had ever vendor reaching out to us, bugging us about all of the changes and the what ifs, Sherri kept her cool and checked in on us once to let us know that she would be there for us and to not stress about it. That was it and it was wonderful!! That was one less person we had on our backs the two months leading up to our wedding. Sherri understands the anxiety brides and grooms go through and she works hard to relieve that stress and anxiety as much as possible! Sherri was great with picture/location suggestions and her photos turned out AMAZING, even the one where she had us go out in the rain and stand in the middle of the road during our reception! That turned out to be our favorite!! :) You will not be disappointed with Sherri and her team!

A Photography wizard!

Sherri is amazing at what she does! She captured our wedding day perfectly. And made us look like we were in a fancy editorial magazine. She is incredibly creative and funny while she works too! Have no fear, just do that she tells you. You and everyone else will be blown away by the results.

Best Photography Around!!

Oh my...I don't even know where to start with how amazing Sherri Barber's photography is... I feel as if capturing the moments of your wedding day in the form of pictures is the most important aspect on your wedding day. It is true that pictures live on to tell memories and stories. Sherri did just that...and more. She let us know exactly what she wanted and needed from us for our pictures to turn out "picture perfect." She is the whole package and worth every single penny. She makes dreams come true AND live on. SHERRI you are the BEST! Love, The Wards

Moody Magic

Sherri is everything we hoped for! She keeps things MOVING like a well-oiled machine on the day-of, which was needed for all involved. :) She knew the best ways to pose us that flattered all and she's also hilarious to boot. You can't help but love her.

The way she works with light is so, so impressive. My husband is a wedding photographer, so you can imagine how picky he could've been. But he knew we were in good hands with Sherri...and we definitely were. All of my husband's college photography professors came out of the woodwork to compliment the "magical and special" photos online.

We just got our photos a few days ago and they were exactly what we'd hoped for. They let us relive the day all over again. THANK YOU!

Out of this world...

Of all our Vendors I was most excited to see what Sherri’s final product would look like, because I knew it would be amazing! And it was!!! Sherri is not shy at all which is one of her best traits! If she sees something wrong she will speak up, if she needs someone to move she will let them know, if one of the members of your Bridal Party has a cell phone in their pocket that’s showing in pictures- she will ask them to remove it!!! She is very professional but also clearly on a mission to capture your day perfectly, AMD that’s exactly what she did for us. We will cherish her work for the rest of our lives.

Wouldn’t pick anyone else

Sherri is a complete professional and takes amazing photos. There is no one else I would have wanted on the day of our wedding to capture these moments that will last a life time.

Sherri Barber is the best!

Sherri is by far the best photographer around! When I saw my photos, I had never felt more beautiful in my life. She was able to capture the beauty not only in us but also the city and our venue. I always hate taking photos because I never like how I look in them but Sherri was able to direct me how to pose and with her magic, I looked great in those pictures. If I have one piece of advice for anyone getting married, it is to book Sherri Barber Photography! You won't regret it!

No one is like Sherri Barber Photography!!!

Sherri Barber King of Sherri Barber photography was UNREAL!!! She was so amazing, Fun, and showed she was truly vested in my big day! She gave me and my hubby the confidence and guidance we needed during our portraits... she gives TONS of direction, and then with her unreal lighting techniques, she could make something that was pure magic out of anything! If you don’t want the boring ho hum that I see everyone else have as I really got lost in a sea of photographers... Go to her! She really truly is a master of her craft and and an absolute ARTIST while literally capturing it all! No is and no one will ever be Sherri!!! Thank you again for being a friend, confidant, and artist!!! We love her!!!

We were blessed to have Sarah as our photographer for our engagement and wedding in October 2017. In addition to her incredible talent, she was so sweet and pleasant to work with. She accommodated all of our requests and always made sure we were satisfied. My husband and I can't even begin to describe how much we love all the photos from our special day. There is no way we could ever pick a favorite. Thank you so much to Sarah and the entire Sherri Barber team for helping to capture all of those special moments.

Sherri Barber is incredible beyond words! We were only lucky enough to get her based on a cancellation and later in the season availability in her schedule. Thank God we did, because it was worth every single penny. Wedding are expensive, I get it. But the dress, you will only wear once; the venue, you may never go to again; the food, you will only eat that one time; the DJ, he may only spin tunes for that night. Your photos will live on forever and remind you of the magic of that moment! That is, if you have a quality photographer. Sherri should be that photographer! She's impressively fast without sacrificing quality for speed. The quality of her work is unsurpassable in addition to being creative and elegant. I have had friends who don't even live anywhere near Cincinnati drool over my engagement and wedding photos and ask for Sherri's information. And yes, she travels! But on top of the brilliant photos you will be proud to cherish and share for a lifetime, you get the experience of working with a truly wonderful human being. Sherri is funny, clever, and a smart ass at in just the right way! She may put you in seemingly awkward positions to get the shot, but its worth it and she'll make you laugh throughout the whole process. She controls the wedding day photo process and the bedlam that would otherwise ensue with people wanting photos, jumping in photos, or just not knowing what to do, but she does it with a firm grace. People knew where to be and when, and she managed to get every single photo we'd requested and more in a very short period of time. Oh, and after that, she even helped us book some stuff for our honeymoon. She rocks. She just plain rocks. Book her! You'll be in awe of what a good decision that is!
