  • We are beyond thrilled with our experience with Cherlyn. From our very first interaction, she exuded warmth and responsiveness, making us feel at ease and confident that we were in good hands. Her photography skills are phenomenal—each photo is intimate and natural, perfectly capturing the small moments we didn’t even know to savor.

  • Cherlyn went above and beyond our expectations as our wedding photographer. She was extremely thoughtful, detail-oriented and communicative. She is an experienced photographer and was able to capture the very essence of our day. I highly recommend working with Cherlyn if you are looking for a photographer in the Bay Area.

  • What a dream working with Cherlyn was! I am totally going to be using her for any, and all, events in our family moving forward! Thank you Cherlyn for taking such good care of my daughter on her wedding day!

  • Cherlyn was awesome. Easy communication, extremely organized. She was flexible and kind. And best of all, her photos are spectacular. She really captured the moment. Our group really didn't want a lot of posed photos and we had extremely hot weather and bright sunlight ... Cherlyn was able to roll with all of those constraints. Highly, highly recommend her as a photographer.

For couples who want honest,
moment-driven imagery

I photograph weddings with a calm, documentary approach, stepping in gently for portraits when needed, and staying out of the way capturing your day as it unfolds naturally.
