As an international fine art film wedding photographer, I'm known for my naturally bubbly personality, approachable nature, and professional characteristics. I truly believe that positive vibes and auras are infectious, and I bring that energy to every wedding and elopement I capture. I draw inspiration from and love working with unique couples who are passionate about creating an exceptional experience for their special day. My goal is to provide a high-end, service-oriented, and personable experience that reflects the individuality of each couple. My love for traveling to new places, learning about new cultures, and experiencing life is a big reason why I focus on weddings outside of my home country, Australia. I specialize in luxury beach resorts throughout Thailand, Bali, and epic destinations in New Zealand, Europe, and beyond. I'm obsessed with film and fine art photography, not only because it creates that beautiful, bright, and airy look but also because it forces us to slow down—in a good way. With every roll of film offering just 16 opportunities, each photo must be taken with purpose, intention, and an eye for detail. This approach allows us to fully take in the moment and be present. Each moment of your wedding day has a story attached to it, and those moments will fly by. You want those stories, the priceless memories, and all the personal details to last forever in the most beautiful way imaginable—bright, natural, and joyful. This is how you want your day to feel and your photos to look, and I'm here to make that happen. I am dedicated to providing a high-end, service-oriented, and personable experience that ensures your wedding day is captured perfectly.

I wanted to invest in a mentoring session because I felt that I needed expert advice that could help me improve my business photos and the composition of my images. I just started using film and I wanted to have beautiful photos to attract clients that love details and editorial storyline work. I wanted to learn from the best in the industry and I feel Sheri is the best wedding photographer in Australia.
Before the day I was nervous because I didn't want to miss a beat. During the day Sheri gave tricks and tips along the way, which really helped me to make my photos intentional with every frame.
Sheri is a down-to-earth, happy, and very inspirational person. The day was absolutely amazing. She also encouraged me to push my business forward. I was so inspired by her style, knowledge, and easygoing personality and how incredible the day went. She will always be your cheerleader."
Sheri's elopement packages were exactly what we wanted and she literally did all of the wedding planning/stress for us. On the day the style was on point and the day/run sheet was perfectly organised! My husband and I felt so comfortable at our wedding photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Sheri has a calm, relaxed, good vibes! We received so many sneak peek photos which are incredible! The photos are so clean, crisp and stunning and I can’t wait to receive the rest!!!!!!
Sheri not only blended in (we didn't notice her and could focus on the task at hand!) but she also made the guests feel comfortable. She asked my grandparents before taking their image, something which they told me that they were grateful for. She worked with the venue staff to ensure that she knew the lay of the land, what they needed to do and how they could all work together on the day. We highly recommend Sheri!
We decided to use Sheri because we loved the fact she used film and digital and all her photos are so bright - which is definitely our vibe.
Sheri made the whole process seamless, her communication was professional and prompt and she was always willing to go above and beyond.
When considering ceremony locations she even visited them at the time of the ceremony and considered all the pros and cons!
Prior to the wedding day, Sheri connected with all other vendors involved on social media and the vendors commented about how great this was as it created a connection with everyone on the day.
We even got an added bonus the next day where she created an Instagram reel for us!
Emma and I are usually very awkward when it comes to all eyes on us or being photographed however Sheri made us feel so comfortable, she had excellent direction and she was extremely fun to work with and matched our crowd perfectly.
Sheri is amazing and we wouldn’t have changed a thing!
If you're considering a highly professional photographer, Sheri’s skill, professionalism, and ability to capture special moments exceeded our expectations. A true artist behind the lens
Whilst spontaneously planned due to weather interruptions, Sheri's commitment to ensuring our photos were exactly what we wanted, and where we wanted was admirable and demonstrates her passion to her craft. Her ability to make us feel comfortable was something we really appreciated as this was our first professional shoot, and it was during knock-off hour in the middle fo Sydney CBD so the nerves were high for us both.
Are viewing our photos for the first time, We are amazed. The photos are exactly our vision, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. The pictures are timeless and are something we will be able to cherish forever. We can't thank Sheri enough for providing that for us.
Sheri was so organised, efficient and professional while also so super personable.
The day felt completely effortless and the whole bridal party loved working with Sheri as she had an incredible energy about her.
I cannot recommend Sheri enough as a professional wedding photographer. From beginning to end, Sheri was fantastic. She was quick to respond and has a phenomenal eye for capturing the moment. I absolutely loved having Sheri as part of our special day.
Do yourself a favor and hire Sheri as your wedding photographer - you will not regret it!
