Sandy is amazing!

We couldn’t be more thankful for Sandy Zmuda and her AMAZING photography skills and the work she provided us on and after our wedding.

Let’s start from the beginning, we were in the process of planning a destination wedding and after reading multiple reviews on the knot and referencing various referrals we were nervous and not satisfied with our search results. I reached out to Sandy and received a quick response that was very helpful and professional. We went over travel, my ideas, a bunch of my Pinterest photos, the theme and look of our wedding, and of course Sandy added her creative touch with ideas and a sample agenda. Sandy maintained contact throughout our planning process with various check-ins, as needed.

The day before the wedding we had the opportunity to meet with Sandy to review where we wanted to take photos, test the lighting, and make minor adjustments to our schedule based on our wedding planner’s recommendations. Sandy was accommodating and made suggestions that reflected she truly understood our vision.

On our wedding day, Sandy moved quickly, kept to our schedule, and was extremely detail oriented, we were blown away with her ability to capture every detail! Sandy arrived on time and spent the perfect amount of time with each of us prior to our first look and captured a variety of candid moments, posed individual and group photos.
Her words of encouragement, detailed direction and personality were calming as nerves set in.

While taking photos of just the bride and groom she added to the memories we have of our special day and personalized the experience. Looking back at the photos I remember the jokes we told, the sweet things we said to each other in the moment, and how Sandy made those moments even more special for us.

Sandy’s ability to interact with our guests was everything we hoped for she took a variety of photos of our guests and we received numerous compliments over how engaging and energetic she was throughout the night.

Sandy was efficient and true to her timeline and provided photos that truly showcased every moment and detail beautifully.

Looking back on the experience, we would definitely go with Sandy Zmuda over and over again due to her excellent work, professional work ethic, and bubbly personality. We would highly recommend her to anyone for any occasion, and look forward to working with her in the future!

Happy, comfortable, beautiful

Sandra makes any experience comfortable and fun. Not an easy thing to do for a pandemic bride like me. Her ability to capture the moment and create joy makes the pictures come out as beautiful and precious as the moment felt.

Sandy is Dandy!

Sandy shot our proposal and did an outstanding job! I had no idea she was there photographing us until after the surprise, at which point we took some posed photos. My husband was really nervous, and her calm and humor totally loosened him up and made the photos fun! She was super accommodating with coming to our location and the timing of the surprise, and the photos turned out bright and brilliant despite the weather being a bit dicey. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in search of proposal, engagement or wedding photography! Her images are beautiful and she's a pleasure to work with :)

Sandra was so much fun to work with

Sandra was so much fun to work with! She is so sweet and patient. Of course my wedding day was the hottest day of the year, and you would never know not only though her attitude and dedication but also how amazing the photos turned out. She fulfilled all my requests but also wasn’t holding back her own ideas. She suggested me sitting on a whiskey barrel for some of the photos and I was not sure how that would look in my dress, but they turned out being my favorite photos! We are so grateful to have had her part of our wedding day, and so thankful for the beautiful memories she captured.

Easy, professional, perfect.

Sandra is incredible. She is a true artist. I work in the music industry and work with A LOT of photographers, she is the kind that if you scroll through her roll the pictures are already perfect even before she edits them. Beyond her actual work this lady has the best personality which is so important when you have someone taking pictures of you. She is a breathe of fresh air, just kind, easy going and very in tune. She’s a hard worker and you will not be disappointed. I think she’s the best out there.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
