  • SHE HAS EVERY ASPECT DOWN TO THE SMALLEST DETAILS

    “Sydney was an absolutely amazing photographer! My parents were wedding photographers for 20+ years and so our expectations were pretty high and Sydney far exceeded all of them! She has every aspect down to the smallest details so the day ran so smooth. She had the perfect locations set up for us and a perfect timeline. She delivered so many incredible photos to us, and captured the day perfectly. We highly recommend Sydney, and will cherish our photos forever.”

    -CARLEY + ZACK

  • SHE NAILED IT

    “Sydney was AMAZING! We had the pleasure of having her photograph our proposal, engagement and wedding and she nailed each session. She took the time to get to know us and understand our style. Our photos are fun, authentic and beautiful and we will cherish them forever!”

  • SHE WAS SO MUCH FUN TO WORK WITH

    Sydney was one of the best parts of our wedding day! My wife and I decided to have a very small ceremony in Grand Haven (and had never visited!), and Sydney was so helpful and kind in telling us about local photo spots and helping us plan for photos. On the day of our wedding, she was so much fun to work with, not to mention an excellent photographer. I couldn't recommend her more!!!
