Sydney was the best photographer we could've asked for. I knew Sydney prior to our engagement, but she still took the time to Zoom call with us prior to our engagement session to hear our story, meet my fiance, and get to know us as a couple. We did our engagement session with Sydney, and she taught us many poses that would come in handy on the wedding day, and just helped us get comfortable in front of the camera! On the day of the wedding, she showed up with the energy and enthusiasm we needed in our photographer. She hyped us up, made us comfortable, and helped us enjoy the time spent posing for photos. Our portraits turned out beautiful - and she managed to get photos of nearly all of our wedding guests, which we love so much! Overall, we HIGHLY recommend Sydney.

Sydney was a wonderful wedding photographer. We started with our engagement shoot almost a year before the wedding and we knew we made the right choice! She's so cute and fun, and was very efficient with getting photos done so we didn't feel like we spent all day staring into a camera. She ran with our feedback from the engagement shoot and only did poses we knew we'd like. Our sneak peek photos turned out awesome! We can't wait for the full album. Thank you Sydney!

Sydney perfectly captured our wedding day! We received sneak peaks not even a full day after our wedding, which is something I was ecstatic about! There’s not one picture that I’m not completely obsessed with. I look at them every day! I can’t wait to receive the full album because I know it’s going to be so incredible. Highly, highly recommend Sydney, she photographed and designed an amazing flat lay, was patient with our dog and the many kids in the photos and was an overall kind and energetic person to be around. She was the absolute perfect person to capture our special day and I will look at these photos forever.

Having Sydney as a wedding photographer means you not only get the best quality pictures, but you also get someone who sends you helpful wedding guides, planning tools, and helps you in every step of the wedding planning process. We loved having her as our photographer!

Wow! There are so many words we can say here to describe how wonderful Sydney is, but we will try to narrow it down to three: Exceptional, Talented, and Determined.

Exceptional: From the moment we reached out to Sydney for an inquiry, to the last second together on our big day, she was present and involved, ultimately making our planning and wedding exceptional, and a breeze.

Talented: Speaking of breeze... our wedding day was WINDY (and slightly rainy), but that did not stop Sydney from delivering poise, confidence, and GORGEOUS photos. Seriously, check out the photos attached, because those are just a few examples of her talent. She even chased my veil down a hill after it blew off my head from the wind, multiple times. Talent.

Determined: She managed to keep my nerves at ease despite my fear of there being too much wind and rain, while also keeping our wedding party focused and in line before the reception (an actual feat that deserves applause). She is a determined individual who will get the job done, while providing fun and laughter to remember along the way.

Sydney worked alongside an amazing second shooter, as well, Amanda, who we could never forget to mention. Amanda, thank you for helping Sydney on our big day. You were so lovely and wonderful to work with! We cannot wait to continue sharing your work from our wedding!

Sydney, you made our wedding and engagement photo dreams a reality. We are truly so grateful and happy to have found you! Thank you for everything.

Sydney did an incredible job as our wedding photographer in May of 2021. She made me and my husband feel super comfortable in front of the camera, which is difficult for both of us! Our entire wedding day, she was extremely efficient and made sure that she got an insane amount of pictures; plus, she got them back to us very quickly. Between her and her second shooter, I don't think she missed a moment of our big day! Not only did she do an amazing job for the wedding itself, but she did an engagement shoot with us in the fall as a part of our package, which was great because we got to meet her before the wedding day and get comfortable with each other. Overall, I don't think you could find someone better to be your photographer! We are incredibly thankful for everything Sydney did for us!

Sydney was a dream to work with. She was very flexible and we hardly noticed her on the day of the wedding, but she captured every image perfectly. She streamlined our day, and especially the family photos, so they were quick and painless. I love Sydney's personality and her passion for photography is evident in everything she does. Her attitude made us very comfortable and her knowledge of Harrisonburg and the surrounding areas made our engagement shoot a dream. 1000% recommend her!

Sydney was a fantastic photographer. Neither of us had experience being photographed professionally before, but Sydney did an awesome job helping us relax and guide us through the experience. We did an engagement shoot a few months before our wedding and she was extremely accommodating and helpful with the timing and finding an awesome location. When our wedding day rolled around, Sydney and her 2nd shooter were super helpful and were great getting all the shots we wanted in and guiding us through everything from getting ready to the first look through the celebration. Her turnaround time was super fast and she delivered a TON of photos. We could not be happier and would absolutely recommend her!

Sydney of DMVPotraits was a joy to work with. She put my husband and I at ease for our shoot. She was excellent at instructing us to pose naturally and came up with amazing photo ideas. You can definitely tell she loves what she does and that is reflected in how much fun we had on the shoot. Highly recommend!

Sydney is an amazing photographer. She and I met in high school and she is one of the funniest people I've had the pleasure of meeting. She's enthusiastic in her work, making sure everyone is comfortable and having fun. She is also very transparent in her contracts and is happy to answer any and all questions you have in a timely manner. I absolutely would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take great photos and have fun at every step of the way. Thank you Sydney!
