Hey, I’m Sydney!

There’s something really special about photographing couples in love and their connection with the people around them. Honestly, it’s why I LOVE capturing weddings, in every shape and form! I love looking at my own wedding photos. My favorites are the ones of my friends having fun on the dance floor and the smiles both me and my husband had on our faces after saying “I do”. They bring me right back to those moments and that’s exactly what I want for you, too.

  • HIGHLY ORGANIZED AND COMMUNICATIVE

    “From the very first moment that we spoke with Sydney, she was amazing. She is highly organized and communicative. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, we had such an amazing experience. She corralled our friends and family and captured every single moment that we asked plus many more on our special day. Sydney’s timeless, elegant, and classic style is truly perfection. We are so incredibly happy with our photos and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.”

  • MORE THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER

    “We hired Sydney as our Wedding photographer, but she was truly so much more. My husband and I were planning our Grand Rapids wedding from out of the country. Sydney was beyond accommodating to our scheduling needs and was incredible communicator. On the day of, Sydney made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera with encouraging words and helpful poses. But more than anything, Sydney captured the most authentic and beautiful moments from our special day. I love how she embraces color and sought out to capture moments of love and joy”

  • AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO WORK WITH

    "Sydney photographed our wedding and I couldn't be happier with the experience and the results. She was an absolute joy to work with from our initial inquiry through delivery. I already knew I wanted to have her photograph our wedding based on her portfolio but she sent us additional galleries which made me all the more confident. She was incredibly responsive and she had a great digital experience leading up to the wedding for collecting payment, providing tips, and collecting info about desired shots. At our small family wedding she made us feel comfortable and balanced capturing intimate moments with blending in with everyone else. She also was very flexible and met all of our needs the day of. I could not recommend Sydney more highly."
