Sandy surpassed all of our expectations from start to finish! The photos are absolutely gorgeous and we could not have asked for better documentation of our big day. What’s more is how truly wonderful it was to work with Sandy throughout the planning process, and how seamless—truly effortless on our part—she made our wedding day.

Sandy is a true professional. Her planning tools helped us get organized and we felt at ease about our whole wedding after each conversation. Her careful preparation and attention to detail were apparent in both the experience on the day and in the final product.

Sandy made everyone in our families feel cared for. She deftly navigated language barriers and mobility concerns making our nearest and dearest feel comfortable and confident. She’s wonderful with even the littlest guests, putting time and effort into capturing the sweet spirit of our 20month old flower girl.

When we hired Sandy, we knew her photos and were confident we would be happy with the final product. What we didn’t realize was just how impactful the person behind the lens would be to the entire experience. You are going to spend time with your photographer before, during, and after your wedding. You’ll be very grateful you chose Sandy.

Sandy is hands down the best photographer we could have chosen for our wedding. From start to finish, she made the entire day feel like a breeze. Her professionalism, talent, and calming presence made such a difference, and the results speak for themselves. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning beautiful, timeless, and perfectly captured. We are beyond grateful for Sandy and highly recommend her to any couple!

We genuinely cannot recommend Sandy enough as a wedding photographer. Sandy was extremely helpful in the planning of the timeline and the wedding and this helped quell a lot of anxiety for my wife and I during the planning process. She is really a wedding and photography expert, who was easily the most valuable member of our vendor team in making our day go smoothly.

On top of just being lovely to work with, Sandy is an excellent photographer. Her ability to see creative shots and angles within a space blew me away each and every time. She would line up really cool silhouetted shots, pictures of our reflections in champagne glasses, shots down the center of a stairwell, and a truly beautiful shot of the sunset peaking through the tiniest window of tree leaves that she lined up between my wife and I. Not to mention, she comes up with so many of these additional shots in the moment, her vision of a space is really remarkable. It is incredible how she sees a space through such a creative lens, and will quite literally bend over backwards or get on the stone cold nighttime ground (she actually did this) in order to line up the perfect shot. I cannot sing enough praises of Sandy as both a photographer and a member of the vendor team, the wedding my wife and I had was really lovely, and I actually don't think it would have been half as nice without Sandy on our side. Sandy also brought an assistant, Tina, to help with the wedding shots. While we only met Tina for the day of the wedding, she was extremely helpful in working alongside Sandy, and the both of them went well above and beyond what could be expected of a photography team - you can tell that they really wanted our wedding to be a special day for the two of us, and would stop at nothing to make that happen.

Also, Sandy got us a preview of our photos just two days after the event and we have absolutely loved the photos. I am too excited to write this review so I don't have the full photo gallery quite yet, but I'm posting some of my favorites from the 75 photo preview album she sent us here.

My partner and I don’t have many photos of ourselves, and we’ve never felt particularly natural in front of a camera. I honestly felt anxious about doing an engagement shoot, but we wanted to capture this moment in our lives. From start to finish, Sandy was absolutely incredible. She took the time to understand my hesitations, helped me feel at ease, and guided us through the process with so much care and artistry.
Her creative eye turned what could have been an uncomfortable experience into something that felt effortless and genuinely fun. She captured us exactly as we are — and somehow, even better. The photos surpassed anything I could have imagined; they’re not only some of the best pictures of us as a couple, but some of the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen of my partner as an individual.
I went in just hoping for a few good shots and ended up with an entire gallery of images we absolutely love (we genuinely struggled to pick favorites!). If you’re even considering working with Perceptions Photography, do it. She has a rare gift for bringing out the best in people — and the results speak for themselves.

Sandy is so much more than a photographer. She is a well of knowledge when it comes to weddings. My husband and I appreciated her guidance so much during our wedding planning and we never felt unsure or alone in the process. She is straightforward and personable, and very organized so you know you are getting a photographer who cares. She helped facilitate so much during our wedding day and we felt the day went by so much smoothly with her making sure we got all of the photos that we wanted. And our photos came out beautifully; bright and clear images that look timeless.
We would recommend her to anyone.

We are thrilled to share our experience with our wedding photographer! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she went above and beyond our expectations. She dedicated more time than we contracted for during our engagement shoot, ensuring every moment was captured beautifully. We were delighted to receive more photos than we anticipated, showcasing the essence of our love story. Her meticulous planning included phone calls and even visits to our home. She truly pays attention to every detail, making us feel at ease. Having photographed my husbands family for many years, she has built a strong reltatuonshop with them and is always available for special occasions. She joined us on our host during both our engagement shoot and the day after our wedding, perfectly capturing our passion for boating alongside our love. Before our big day, she took the time to connect with both of our families, asking if they had any special requests, which made everyone feel included. The photos are magnificent, beautifully capturing our love and personalities. She treated all our friends and family with such warmth. We couldn’t be happier with her work and will undoubtedly be using her for every special event needing photography in the future. We wholeheartedly highly recommend Sandy!

We couldn’t be happier with our engagement photos and experience working with Sandy. She was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about capturing authentic moments between us. We’ll cherish these photos forever and we’re so excited to have her by our side for our wedding day! Highly recommended!

I’ve worked with Sandy countless times growing up for graduation photos and she absolutely knocked it out of the park for the engagement photos for my now fiancé and I! He service is second to now, the quality of her work is unmatched and she is an amazing person to work with.

Would recommend her 10/10
