About

Whats up guys!, it’s Sheldon here

I’ve had the blessing to shoot over 100 since 2016 and I can’t wait to learn about your special day and have the blessing to capture yours. I’ve shoot from all over the state of Ohio, into Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and we’re just getting stared! I love to travel all over that states and always up for a new/nontraditional and exciting wedding to capture.

When it comes to shooting the big day I enjoying mixing and mingling with the friends and family getting to know everyone so that when it comes to prompts in front of the camera, everyone is at ease and smiling bright.

This is your day and I want you to worry about nothing except filling the room with your love and emotion that you feel for your official husband/wife. Go ahead and reach out to me and lets have a sit down, grab some coffee, grab some lunch (I LOVE THE BACON & Chicken) , and lets see if I can be a great fit for you and your wedding!

I can’t wait to learn about your love story !

Professional Talented Photographer

We hired Sheldon for the first time in the winter of 2018 for a quick family photo shoot. He impressed us then but WOWED us now! We always loved his quick thinking and professionalism when it came to photo shoots but when it came to our wedding he knocked it out of the park. We were blown away with the amazing shots he took and how quick thinking he was. From our photos you would think he had a second shooter but he was literally just that quick! He didn’t miss a thing. We have beautiful memories to last a lifetime thank you Sheldon we couldn’t ask for a better photographer!

Sheldon brought my wedding photo dreams to life. I have worked with Sheldon in the past and he never disappoints but man he blew me away with my wedding photos. He’s always a breeze to work and schedule with, always responsive when I had questions. Top notch customer service 100% of the time! 10/10, you won’t regret it!

Dont hesitate book with sheldon!

Sheldon was our photographer for our wedding 7/25/21 and WOW WOW WOW. I am so glad we went with him. He’s so informed and truly knows what he is doing. He helped out so much the day of (and before) from ideas to just getting the shots taken. Don’t think about it twice. Book with him. He also worked extremely well with our other vendors and added on to the celebration 🤍

Amazing work

Sheldon was easy to work with and listened to specific wants I had and ran with them. He also put his own spin to make photos extra artistic and gorgeous. Even got great pictures of our guests dancing and having a blast! He was the most affordable photographer when we were looking that still had good experience. Look no further, here is the photographer you've been looking for. 🙂

Expectations were exceeded!

My husband and I hired Sheldon for our small (Covid-proof) backyard wedding. I was worried that with having a backyard wedding our photos would look like my backyard (chain link fence, neighbors homes and tons of quirks). My venue had cancelled on me and I was afraid I would be disappointed with the results-
The results were fantastic- the quality of the shots and how he angled everything. I feel like I’m looking at something from a wedding magazine. It amazes me and you would never know it’s our yard. The way the light/trees look I would think our ceremony was in a pretty wooded area. He captured it (and us) in our very best light possible. Sheldon was professional, friendly, quick to return proofs and has a great energy!

Perfect photo session!

Took pictures at our backyard 4th of July wedding cookout. Sheldon is professional and also very personable! He has taken photographs for family members over the last few years and always has a creative eye when taking photos. Would highly recommend Sheldon. I don't take recommendations lightly unless I believe in the final product! You need pics? Give Sheldon a call!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
