About Sherry
Hey there, I’m Sherry — I live for experiences, and am totally enthralled with how beautiful our globe is. I am a world traveler, an international flight attendant and a couples photographer, with an emphasis on showcasing love in epic landscapes.
I aim to create photography that you will want to hang as art on your wall — and giving you the experience is being present in the moment, celebrating your love, bringing the adventure and capturing memories that will last a lifetime.
I studied photojournalism and began my career photographing adventure races in the Pacific Northwest, Costa Rica, and ultra marathons in Death Valley. I have been to over 50 countries, and my favorite destination is South Africa. I have lived in Rome, Italy, Santa Cruz, Bolivia, San Diego, California, New York City, NY, Charleston, SC and Boston, Massachusetts and grew up in the beautiful state of Maine.
The Experience
Imagine This…
An elopement day that’s bold, beautiful, and completely your own.
Wildly unique. Deeply intimate. Rooted in adventure and crafted with intention.
A wedding day that feels relaxed and stress-free—because you’re doing it your way.
A Day Built Around You
Picture an unscripted day shared only with the love of your life… Set against a jaw-dropping landscape that makes you pause in awe.
A day to focus solely on each other. To whisper your vows, share your dreams, and move at your own pace.
Filled with spontaneity, intimacy, meaning, and adventure.
This is the kind of experience you’ll carry with you forever.
Your elopement marks the beginning of a powerful new chapter—and helping you create that experience is deeply rewarding to me.
I take time to connect with every couple I work with. Your history together, your wild love story, and the road you’re on… it inspires me.
My role is to document your connection, your commitment, and those in-between moments— the looks, the laughter, the intimacy of your day—
so that years from now, you’ll feel it all over again.
Why Elopements Matter
More than breathtaking landscapes, more than beautiful images—
an elopement gives you space to breathe.
To slow down.
To be intentional.
To focus on what really matters: your love and your commitment.
This isn’t just a wedding day.
It’s a memory that will stay with you forever.
Let’s make it unforgettable.

Why choose Sherry?
My husband and I eloped to St Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands with 7 of our best friends. We chose St Croix because we loved the landscape combination of the ocean, the beach and warmth of the sun, and the breathtaking mountains in the background. We had an intimate wedding ceremony on the beach and held our reception on a catamaran, where we cut our cake in bathing suits and spent our time in the beautiful Caribbean Sea.
My biggest priority was making it an experience that lasted more than a day (I knew I wouldn’t want it to end…), having a photographer document how I envisioned myself immersed in the environment, creating an experience that my friends wouldn’t stop talking about, and keeping it adventurous, while relaxing, the entire time! I can honestly say – our wedding photography was easily the best investment we have ever made! I am so passionate about providing the same type of experience for you!
You are determined to elope – to get married YOUR way! And with all of my experience as a world traveler, adventurer, photographer, and as someone who eloped myself, I have you covered with more advice and experience than you know!
