Weddings & Elopements
What do you want to remember 20 years from now?
This is the question I always ask because it will be your photos that will bring back all the feels from your sacred day. Your gorgeous images will instantly help you recall the laughter of your loved ones, the breeze on your shoulder during the vows, sounds of the crickets in the nearby field and the pulse in your hand as you finally say I Do to the love of your life.

“Sheila was absolutely incredible from the beginning to end!!! She was so easy to communicate with before my wedding and leading up to it she helped me plan an entire timeline for the day, which was so helpful! It was a freezing cold day but her energy and enthusiasm was so encouraging and she made it such an amazing experience. I cannot express how much I loved Sheila and the photos she gave us, and I would choose her as my photographer a million times over. She deserves more than 5 stars!!! .”

Only the absolute best. If you have read my About page already, then you know that my late dad was also a professional photographer and he taught me the love of photography through his film lenses. Therefore, I learned at an early age that it is the person/artist who is carrying the gear that makes the most impact. So, while I always carry the top-of-the-line Canon equipment, I also invest in educating myself continually to stay refreshed and focused to deliver the quality of work that I feel that my dad would be proud of. (cue the happy tears!)
“The best photographer and kindest person! As a wedding planner in Asheville, our team absolutely loves working with Sheila. Her work is stunning and her calm and sweet nature is such a peaceful presence for our couples. We couldn't recommend her services enough!”
-Nikki Scirbua, Carolina Love Events
