Chasing the Light

We worked with Cherlyn for our engagement and our wedding, and could not have asked for a better photographer. First and foremost, her photos are amazing. All of our family and friends who are into photography are impressed by her skills. Her ability to "chase the light" and capture those special moments led to many breathtaking photos. More importantly, Cherlyn made us feel comfortable throughout our photoshoots, especially since we are not the most extroverted couple. With her direction, we managed to look natural in our posed and candid photos, which is not an easy feat. We also appreciate how quickly Cherlyn works, as she sent over sneak peaks mere days after our engagement and our wedding. It was easy to communicate with her throughout the planning process, and we cannot thank her enough for her support. We highly recommend Cherlyn as the photographer for your event.

Dream photographer for small wedding

Cherlyn was a dream photographer for our small Santa Clara wedding held at the chapel at the clerk-recorder's office. She took the time to scope out areas outside of the office for formal photos and even stayed afterwards to enjoy and document the Chinese dinner we had after the short ceremony. She was wonderful to work with, communicative, put everyone at ease, and a wonderful conversationalist. I will treasure the formal photos and candids she took of this special day forever.

Beautiful photos!

We booked Cherlyn for our wedding and engagement photos and she did such an incredible job! The day was supposed to be clear and beautiful for our engagement photos but once we got to the beach - the fog rolled in but the photos ended up being so beautiful and very SF. It couldn't have turned out better! For our wedding, we don't like doing many posed photos and really wanted her to just capture all the moments throughout our wedding and they all turned out amazing! She is so easy to work with and laid back. We're so glad we booked Cherlyn for our wedding!

Professional, thoughtful, amazing!

Cherlyn went above and beyond our expectations as our wedding photographer. She was extremely thoughtful, detail-oriented and communicative. After we postponed our wedding due to covid, we are so thankful to have worked with Cherlyn and have her expertise to guide us through a difficult time. She is an experienced photographer and was able to capture the very essence of our day. I highly recommend working with Cherlyn if you are looking for a photographer in the Bay Area.

Beautiful and real

Cherlyn was amazing. She was so kind and professional and took the most gorgeous photos that looked real and candid, never staged or posed. Excellent for someone looking for more natural, low key but awesome wedding photography.

AMAZING Photographer

We met Cherlyn through a friend and we are so glad we got to work with her. Cherlyn is an amazing person and even better photographer. She was so easy to work with, was very responsive and worked with us when we had to change our wedding venue.

We booked our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, wedding and photo booth with her. Her use of natural lighting is simply breath taking. Her photos came out absolutely perfect for all events.

She was able to provide our photos is such a timely manner. When we sent out the pictures to our loved ones, they all commented how quickly we received the photos and how beautiful they all turned out!

On the day of the wedding her team was great to work with. It was Cherlyn and Kari and both were so patient with our family and friends. We love Cherlyn and look forward to working with her for future milestone celebrations.

best decision we made!

Loved working with Cherlyn! She was everything we wanted in a wedding photographer and more. She cared about capturing our wedding day but also about us enjoying our day. She helped us get some moments alone in the midst of all the crazy. We would have her again any day :)

Look No Further

Absolutely nailed the pictures. Very aware of lighting, angles/places to be during the ceremony in order to capture those special moments, and a wonderful personality that easily blended into our wedding day. We couldn't be happier and couldn't ask for anything more. Absolutely top notch.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
