You’ve spent hours looking through galleries, comparing styles, and trying to imagine yourself in those photos.
You want direction so you don’t feel awkward.
You want your family captured with intention.
You want photos that feel like you, not a trend.
Someone to tell you what to do.
Someone who understands how vulnerable this day feels.
Because when you feel CONFIDENT and cared for, Beautiful photos follow naturally.
You’ve learned more about wedding photography than you ever wanted to know. Styles. Editing. Packages. Opinions.
And still, the questions linger.
Will I feel awkward? Will I like how I look?
Will the moments that matter most really be captured?
Because what you’re searching for isn’t more information, it’s certainty. You don’t need to change who you are to feel beautiful in your photos.
You just need someone who knows how to guide you with care.
You want to be present and feel CONFIDENT.
You want to enjoy every moment with your loved ones without self-doubt, tagging along.
The right experience doesn’t distract you from the moment. It gives you the freedom to fully live it.
After 10 years of photographing hundreds of weddings, I’ve seen this again and again.
When a bride feels rushed, UNSURE, or left to figure things out on her own,
it shows in her photos. Not because she did anything wrong. But confidence in photos rarely exists without support.
When a bride feels supported, encouraged, and CLEARLY GUIDED, her beauty and connection with her loved ones show up naturally.
Her photos reflect how deeply loved she felt in those moments. That’s what actually creates photos she loves.

We have only a small handful of frame-worthy photos.
And that still breaks my heart,
because photographs mean everything to me.
So many moments weren’t guided.
So many emotions weren’t captured.
And there’s no way to redo that day.
I don’t want that to be your story.
To wonder if you’ll be photographed beautifully.
If you'll feel comfortable with your photographer.
If the moments that matter most will even be noticed.
"Sharon’s guidance made us feel relaxed. Her hype and good sense of humor made the whole experience super fun and gave us confidence to be ourselves. It was hands down the best investment ever, and I’m locked in with them for life."
“As someone who is self-conscious and feels awkward taking photos, I was hoping that I could just get ONE good photo of myself that I liked, but when we got back our photos, I was absolutely in love with all of them!!!”

- Asti & Christian
What changes is how much coverage, flexibility, and structure your day needs.
What never changes is the level of care, encouragement, and intentional guidance you receive. No matter which collection you choose, every bride is supported with the same heart, attention, and commitment to helping you feel confident and cared for throughout your entire wedding photography experience.

Not just so you leave with beautiful photographs, but so you feel CONFIDENT, seen, and deeply loved every time you look at them.
“I don’t like being photographed.”
“I’m worried I’ll feel awkward.”
“I just hope I get one good photo.”
“I’m scared I won’t like how I look.”
“I don’t want to feel rushed or unsure.”
“She made us feel confident.”
“She told us exactly what to do.”
“I loved every single image.”
"OMG!! WE look so beautiful!"
“She made it fun and stress-free.”
“We are so glad we chose Sharon because her work was immaculate, but we also so enjoyed her kind, positive, and bubbly presence! She has an amazing artistic eye, and our images for both shoots blew us away. She made us look and feel our very best from start to finish with each day she was with us. She gave us helpful direction for posing and such during the shoots which made us able to relax and focus on having fun.”
“This was my first time getting professionally photographed, and I was so scared since I don't like getting my picture taken, but Sharon made it fun and stress-free. She has a way to help you relax, and you end up enjoying this important time with your significant other.”
This is about being fully present in every moment with the people you love, without thinking about your photos at all, because you already trust the experience.
You’re guided with care and intention, so you never wonder what to do or worry about how things are being captured.
You’re not just investing in romantic wedding photography.
You’re trusting me to lead you with confidence, protect the moments that matter most, and capture the ones you don’t even realize are happening.
So you can walk into your wedding day knowing you’ll love your photographs, and walk away with a beautifully documented story of your love, your family, and the memories that deserve to be remembered.
A family friend, a pretty Instagram, and a lower price can feel tempting.
What’s often missing is experience and guidance. Clear direction. Someone paying attention to the details & how you and your family feel in your photographs.
That difference shows up later, when the photos arrive and you either feel proud to frame them or wish there had been more care along the way.
They’re polite. They’re on time. They technically capture the day. But there’s little guidance, no reassurance, and no one paying attention to how you feel or how you look.
You’re left wondering if you’re doing things “right,” hoping the photos turn out, and realizing later that many of the moments you wanted to feel confident in were rushed or missed.
The cost shows up when you receive your gallery and notice what’s missing. Your memories weren’t captured beautifully because no one cared enough to slow down and protect them.
Their work looks stunning online. Editorial. Styled. But your day isn’t a styled shoot.
You’re a real couple with real emotions, real families, and real nerves. Without guidance built for real people, you’re left feeling stiff, unsure, and disconnected from your own photos.
The cost shows up when you don’t feel proud to frame the moments that were supposed to reflect your relationship.
I never want you to wonder if you look confident and comfortable in your photos. I never want meaningful moments with your family to feel rushed, overlooked, or missed. And I never want your gallery to look “fine” but not feel like you or reflect the love you shared that day.
You’re not just investing in photos. You’re investing in feeling confident, seen, and deeply loved while they’re being created.
Spots are limited, because each wow wedding experience is intentionally guided, prepared, and protected.
If you’re looking for quick photos and minimal involvement, this isn’t it.
If you’re looking for peace of mind, trust, and an experience that changes how you feel in front of the camera… You’re in the right place.
What my Florida brides have said…
“As someone who is extremely self-conscious and someone who feels awkward taking photos, I was hoping that I could just get one good photo of myself that I liked. I was so worried that I wouldn’t like any of the photos (because of me and my insecurities), but when we got back our photos, I was absolutely in love with all of them!!!”
“They are so beautiful!! I literally can not stop looking at them!! I'm not a very photogenic person in my opinion and I actually for once, like photos with me in them. Thank you so much!!! I'm in awe.”
“I hate taking pictures, I always feel so awkward, Sharon took care of that quickly, making me comfortable, and taking those candid natural shots where you don’t see my fake awkward smile.”
“This was my first time getting professionally photographed, and I was so scared since I don't like getting my picture taken, but Sharon made it fun and stress-free.”
“It was like you were inside my head and knew exactly what I was looking for. The color, airiness, you caught my family looking just as they are.”
- Ireana & Dan
“It was hands down the best investment ever, and I’m locked in with them for life.”

“Sharon is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and exactly the kind of person you want by your side on your wedding day. We absolutely love every single photo Sharon captured. My husband and I have never felt comfortable in front of the camera, but Sharon guided us so effortlessly and made us feel at ease. The results are stunning. She truly captured the joy, the connection, and the real moments.
-Asti & Christian
Sharon was so incredibly helpful in every way at our wedding and went above and beyond to capture such beautiful photos of everything and everyone! Being the overly self-conscious person that I am, kept thinking, please just have one beautiful photo of Christian and I that I can cherish forever, and just two days after our wedding we received so many sneak peek photos, and we both were absolutely in love with all of them!!!
– Peyton & Steve
“She has a GIFT! Not only with capturing and editing breathtaking photos that really and truly are a work of art, but also with organizing people and capturing the attention of large groups in such a kind yet commanding way, so we can make sure to get all the photos we dream of with our loved ones. She also has a magical way of helping you feel your best behind the camera.”
I created this wedding photography experience because I know how vulnerable it can feel to be in front of the camera. To wonder if you’ll look relaxed, confident, and like yourself in a season that means so much.
I guide intentionally, encourage constantly, and protect your experience, so your wedding photos don’t feel forced or trendy, but honest, romantic, and deeply you.
Want to feel confident and guided, not awkward or unsure in front of the camera
Value a calm, intentional experience instead of rushed or chaotic moments
Love true-to-color, timeless images that still feel natural and emotional
Want your family and relationships captured thoughtfully, not as an afterthought
Appreciate clear communication and planning support leading up to the wedding day
Based in Tampa, Florida, I serve couples throughout Florida who value a guided, confidence-filled wedding photography experience.
Don’t recognize the value of a guided, supportive photography experience
Prefer a photographer who stays hands-off and gives little to no direction
Want heavily stylized, trendy, or overly edited photos
Aren’t interested in planning support or intentional timeline guidance
See photography as just another vendor, rather than a key part of your experience
“You made us feel confident and comfortable in our photographs." That sentence, in one form or another, shows up constantly in my reviews. Not just about the photos, but about the experience. Feeling seen, guided, safe...knowing someone was fully invested in telling their story well.
If you’re feeling that quiet “this feels right” moment…
I’d love to check your date and see if we’re available.
You didn’t feel stiff, and you weren’t overthinking. You were just with your person, laughing, relaxing, and enjoying every moment of your wedding day..
Then comes the next favorite part. The text. The ALL-CAPS, slightly unhinged “I"M OBSESSED!!” message when you get your sneak peeks.
Because you felt calm, supported. and guided. You weren’t worrying about what to do or how you looked. You were focused on your person, your people, and the moment you were in. And that’s what shows.
When you see your photos, you don’t pick yourself apart. You see the connection. You see joy. You see love.
You see a bride who looks confident, BEAUTIFUL, and fully herself.
You'll stop worrying about how you will look.
You'll stop second-guessing if you know what to do.
You'll stop wondering if you will like at least one photo.
You'll stop worrying about how you will look.
You'll stop second-guessing if you know what to do.
You'll stop wondering if you will like at least one photo.
Because you’re guided every step of the way and photographed in a way that is natural and flattering. Because you’re never left guessing and are gently directed through every moment.
Because you’ll see the way your fiancé looks at you and realize just how beautiful and loved you truly are.
Because you’re guided every step of the way and photographed in a way that is natural and flattering.
Because you’re never left guessing and are gently directed through every moment.
Because you’ll see the way your fiancé looks at you and realize just how beautiful and loved you truly are.
If you’re wondering whether this guided photography experience is right for you, this is where clarity happens.
Inside, you’ll find REAL wedding galleries from my favorite venues across Tampa. You’ll see options for every style and budget, from timeless elegance to waterfront romance, all curated with your love story in mind.
This guide gives you the confidence to choose a venue that truly fits your vision, and helps you picture your wedding day unfolding in the most beautiful way possible.
For the engagement session, you'll receive anywhere from 50-100 stunning images.
For wedding photography, you'll receive anywhere from 75-100 images per hour of coverage. I deliver a quality gallery full of variety, ranging from photos that show off the gorgeous nature landscapes with you and your groom as the focal point, all the way to the small, intricate details that make up your beautiful wedding day!!
I would say my editing style is natural & clean with a bit of whimsical added to create a aura of romance!! I love true colors and want your beautiful wedding color choices to be represented authentically in a timeless way. We do offer some emotional black and white images as well in your gallery.
We've chosen Sundays as the day we reserve for our family time, worshipping and serving in our church with our church family. So no, we do not offer any photography services on Sundays.
Since wedding days book up quickly, and we only take 25 a year, I would recommend reaching out as soon as you know your date!!! We typically book a year out, but definitely reach out, we may just have your date available!!
It is my absolute JOY to offer album design for our couples!! I'm a graphic designer, and LOVE putting together a gorgeous heirloom album for you to gush over for years to come with your loved ones!! We also offer quality, breath-taking prints and canvases for you to adorn your home with your treasured memories!!
Yes, I will personally be your lead photographer on your wedding day. From our first call to the final gallery delivery, you’ll be working directly with me, not handed off to someone you’ve never met. If your collection includes a second photographer, it will be my husband and trusted partner, Adam, so your day is documented by a team that works together seamlessly and cares deeply about your experience.
Pro tip for couples:
Always confirm who will actually be photographing your wedding, not just whose work you see online. Many studios book weddings under one name, then send a last-minute associate whose work you’ve never seen and whose presence you didn’t choose. Your comfort, confidence, and memories deserve more than a surprise on your wedding day.
I've photographed hundreds of weddings since 2017, and I've learned SO much practical wedding experience. I LOVE and thrive on the energy of a wedding day! Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience. Trusting your photographer to know how to handle all kinds of situations that may arise is essential.
ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY!!! I have proof of insurance for your venue and am a part of the Professional Photographers Association for additional coverage!!
PRO TIP:
Most venues will require that your wedding photographer show proof of insurance before working at their venue. Ensure that they can show proof of insurance before booking their services.
YESS! I always work with AT LEAST one extra camera on hand, many additional lens, batteries, lighting, flashes, etc. I believe in have many backup systems, because you're entrusting your memories to me, and I DO NOT take that responsibility lightly!!
PRO TIP:
Unfortunately, accidents happen, like a camera refusing to work or a lens falling and breaking. Make sure your photographer is thinking ahead responsibly and carrying backup equipment just in case!
You're in luck!! We have the dream team - because we can literally read each other's minds!! My wonderful and talented hubby is my second shooter on the weekends, and on weekdays I have a wonderful group of second shooter ladies that are SO AMAZING!!
Any second photographer that I bring with me will be SKILLED and know their way around their camera!!
PRO TIP:
First, if you're looking to capture more angles/variety of moments and have photographers in two different places at the same time, make sure that the second shooter you're getting is around the same professional standard that your original photographer is. Second shooters are a great help to stay on time, capture reactions, and more angles!! They're great to have on your wedding day. Assistants are very helpful as well but don't expect as much quality in photographs!
I would be thrilled to meet before you book with me!! I almost ALWAYS have at least a zoom call so we can meet face to face and ensure we are the PERFECT fit for each other!! I love connecting, getting to know you both as individuals and hear what's REALLY Important to you on your wedding day!!
PRO TIP:
It is vital to make sure you vibe and connect well with the person who will be capturing your once-in-a-lifetime memories!! I mean, you will be spending the entirety of your wedding day with them by your side!
Absolutely!! Every wedding day we arrive with our lighting gear that will allow me to capture your reception and dark locations in a beautiful way. You'll never even know it was pitch black outside!! :) I'd be HAPPY to show you some galleries to show off our lighting skills!! ;)
PRO TIP:
Almost every wedding goes well into the night, and if that isn't the case, many receptions are held in a darker atmosphere. It is vital to make sure your photographer has the knowledge to light and photograph in such circumstances. Ask to see some reception images that were captured in such scenarios. I would check to ensure your skintones are still beautifully lit!
I treat your images the way I'd want MY wedding day photos to be treated. I give you all printing rights, so you can print at your own convenience OR you can choose to print through our professional services to ensure top-notch quality!! I do retain the copyright, which simply means the photos aren't released to be edited, only printed.
PRO TIP:
This is a critical question to ask before booking your wedding photographer, as you'll want to know if you can print, share and display your images as you wish! Some photographers may retain the printing rights to your images, meaning you'll have to purchase additional rights to download and print them apart from their services.
I always show up with a backup plan for portraits, even if it's indoors. I definitely suggest having clear, cute umbrellas in case of rain so you can still have cute bride and groom portraits! I am always willing to embrace the rain situation and get creative! I offer another photo session after your wedding day in your wedding clothes - should you decide you'd like more portraits without the rainy weather.
I am thankful to say that we have a very close-knit photography community, and I would be able to rely on MANY friend-tographers who would jump in and take over the wedding day, capturing it to my level of professionalism!! God forbid anything happens, but we have you covered!
PRO TIP:
This is crucial. Be sure your photographer will ensure a professional to photograph in their place in case they cannot make it due to health or circumstantial reasons.
