My Eye Photography

Looking for a wedding photographer is, I discovered a few months ago, a daunting task — especially when doing so from four states away from the wedding location! I checked out numerous websites based on suggestions from friends and lists on wedding planning sites. I saw a lot of beautiful work, but very little that fit into both our budget and our low-​key, garden party wedding. (Yes, we were planning one of the most important days of our life, but spending $ 5K on photos at what was basically a big picnic seemed exorbitant.)
My cousin, who was hosting the reception, suggested Sherry at My Eye! Photography in Algonac, MI. Sherry handled her daughter’s senior photos in the spring of 2010, which were delightful. I had been impressed with the photos because they were beautiful and simple, and had truly captured my little cousin’s spirit. Some of them were even shot in the reception location, so I knew she was familiar with the setting.
After checking out the My Eye! site, I contacted Sherry. She was personable and offered a prompt and very reasonable contract. I hired her without hesitation. We chatted a couple of times in the month leading up to the wedding, mainly via email. Even though I didn’t actually meet her until I the day of the big event, I felt complete confidence that she understood and would deliver exactly what we were looking for in our photos.
She did! She was wonderful to work with — I never felt pressured or directed — and she had a great sense of humor. The posed shots look natural and the candids are almost alive. She stayed true to the casual atmosphere, creating for us a beautiful collection of real moments from our happy day.
Thank you, Sherry!
