Working with Cheryl was truly a gift! From the moment we met her, we felt an immediate sense of comfort and excitement about her work. Cheryl took the time to listen to our vision for our wedding, ensuring that every detail was planned to perfection.

Cheryl's organization was truly impressive; she checked in with us several times leading up to the big day, which helped ease any concerns we had. As an expert in her field, she coordinated seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly according to the timeline. On the wedding day, her energy was unmatched. She made us feel completely at ease while radiating enthusiasm for capturing our special moments.

Cheryl beautifully captured every detail of our day, from the moments we spent getting ready and our first look to family photos, cocktail hour, and all the fun at the reception. As an expert at our venue, the Four Seasons, she knew the best spots for stunning shots. Her ability to blend seamlessly into the background ensured that our photos felt genuine and spontaneous.

The final product exceeded our expectations. We were thrilled to receive a “First Look” with over 40 photos just two days after the wedding! When we got the full gallery, the quality and editing were simply outstanding. Cheryl skillfully removed distractions, allowing our special moments to shine.

Cheryl made our wedding photo dreams come true. We cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking to have their day captured perfectly!

Cheryl worked with us throughout all the wedding changes we had to make due to the pandemic. She was kind, patient, and answered all our questions and soothed our anxiety around the pandemic approved wedding. She was generous with her time and lighthearted and positive. She is a true artist and we're so lucky she was able to photograph our intimate wedding. We highly recommend her!

Cheryl is AMAZING. I feel so fortunate we were able to have her at our Boston wedding. Her familiarity with the space (Ritz-Carlton, Avery St), professionalism and warmth allowed my husband and I to feel completely comfortable in what otherwise would have been so awkward. 

Her responsiveness leading up the wedding was great. Since we were not local, we scheduled calls and met by FaceTime to ensure we had all of the details covered. When we finally did meet, it was as if we were old friends greeting each other with big hugs. She's SO sweet! Cheryl fit seamlessly into the wedding day so much so that I wondered if she had caught all of the memories. Sure enough, the pictures came out spectacular. The facial expressions, dance moves, laughs and sweet moments were ALL captured perfectly. She's honest, detail-oriented and a true expert. I'd recommend her to anyone! 

I can not say enough good things about Cheryl. She is a true professional who’s talent far surpasses others in her field. She will do what ever it takes to get that money shot. She is so accommodating and easy to work with. I just looked at my sneak peek gallery and I am just blown away. These pictures are the exact reason I had to have her be part of our special day. I just can’t believe how gorgeous they came out. I can not thank her enough. This is my second time having Cheryl take photos for my family and I and it won’t be the last.

best photographer I have worked with.

Cheryl was such a pleasure to work with and we could not have been happier with our beautiful photos. Cheryl was upbeat and fun to have as a wedding day photographer.

I highly recommend working with Cheryl for an outstanding experience all around.
