“We worked with Cherlyn for our engagement and our wedding, and could not have asked for a better photographer. First and foremost, her photos are amazing. All of our family and friends who are into photography are impressed by her skills. Her ability to "chase the light" and capture those special moments led to many breathtaking photos. More importantly, Cherlyn made us feel comfortable throughout our photoshoots, especially since we are not the most extroverted couple. With her direction, we managed to look natural in our posed and candid photos, which is not an easy feat. We also appreciate how quickly Cherlyn works, as she sent over sneak peaks mere days after our engagement and our wedding. It was easy to communicate with her throughout the planning process, and we cannot thank her enough for her support. We highly recommend Cherlyn as the photographer for your event.”

“We absolutely loved working with Cherlyn as our wedding photographer! From start to finish, she made everything feel so natural and comfortable. Her friendly and easygoing personality really put us at ease during the shoots, which made for authentic and beautiful photos. Cherlyn was fantastic at giving thoughtful feedback and had wonderful input on the flow of the day. On top of that, she was very responsive and timely with delivering photos, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. She truly captured all the special moments with such care and creativity. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer!”

Reflections on the Experience

A man in a tuxedo holding a drink and a woman in a white dress wearing sunglasses are smiling and talking to each other outside near green doors with glass panes, during daytime.

My wife and I hired Cherlyn for engagement and wedding photos, and we both agree that it was the best wedding decision we made. Neither of us is naturally the most comfortable having our photo taken, but Cherlyn immediately made us feel at ease in our engagement session, and the photos came out so beautiful. My wife also surprised me with a book of boudoir photos that Cherlyn took as a wedding gift, and they are breathtaking. After our wedding, Cherlyn sent us a sneak peek the very next day, and we were in tears looking through the photos. We truly never imagined that we would have such beautiful photos of the two of us, so we have been just blown away by Cherlyn's work. We can't wait to get the full gallery. Cherlyn is a really special person, and we will cherish these photos forever. Thank you Cherlyn
