Sandra is an excellent photographer! She was so amazing working with us to ensure we got the photos we wanted. I was so impressed by her, she even sent us tips on how to get the best photos from getting ready to the ceremony. I never would have thought of any of those things myself. She is super knowledgable and professional. Looking at the photos afterward, I feel like she is some sort of photo ninja, her ability to navigate around rooms/people and get all the best shots is amazing! I loved looking through our photos and being able to reflect back on that perfectly captured moment. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!

Sandra was absolutely amazing! Despite her second photographer coming down with covid just a day or two before the wedding, Sandra managed to capture all the best moments at our wedding by herself and gave us an overwhelming selection of photos to choose from. She worked her butt off, and her passion is clearly evident in her work!

We’ve hired Sandra as our wedding photographer for later in 2022. So far we’ve only got our engagement photos done with her, but the experience was amazing!! She captured some incredible REAL moments between my fiancé and I. We couldn’t be happier with her work and we cannot wait to see what she captures on our big day! Update Oct 2022: Sandra and her assistant Naray were such an amazing team. I was in awe of Sandra's ability to get amazing pictures with large groups of people. The weather didn't work out in our favour on the day of our wedding, but Sandra and Naray still managed to get really beautiful pictures and we couldn't be happier! Will be printing them to give out as gifts and decorate our home very soon!

Sandra photographed my wedding in August. I was a bit stressed as I originally booked another photographer and unfortunately they had to cancel the day before due to an injury. They connected me with Sandra -- and she came through. She was very kind and understanding and made me feel very comfortable. For last minute she did a great job and asked me good questions to understand me and my husband's wants and esthetics. The day of she was focused, thorough, and professional. She went out of her way to determine which editing style I liked best. Take a look at her photography style on her website and if you like her style I'd recommend her!

We can not say enough good things about Sandra. Right from the beginning she was quick to reply and answered all of our questions. During the engagement session we were both a little nervous, not enjoying being in front of the camera. She instantly put us at ease and let us be ourselves, which truly made the photos special, because they were authentic to who we are as a couple. She definitely knows her business, she kept everything organized for us, got our input on the feel we were going for , but added her own personal touches. She checked in prior to our session to be sure we were ready and made sure we didn't have any other questions. She is passionate about what she does and it shows not only in her work, but in her interactions with you. You definitely will not be disappointed booking with Sandra. We are very much looking forward to her being a part of our wedding day next year!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer and you've come across Sandra then your search is over! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sandra, who photographed our wedding this August! She was extremely professional yet friendly. From the very first inquiry and throughout the whole planning process she was prompt with answering our questions and emails. When you select Sandra to be your photographer not only do you get someone with a creative eye and vision to capture each moment, she truly captures how you are as a couple. The pure, raw moments, and the fun silly ones too! Sandra worked closely with us to create a schedule for our wedding day and was also very accommodating to any specific changes or requests that we had. Our wedding day was during a heatwave and the temperature got up to 41c. It was by far the hottest day of the year. Sandra powered through the day like a champ. When she had an image in mind, she stopped at nothing to get it! During the day, we didn't even notice her, but she was capturing some of the best moments! She gave us photos that are absolutely unique to us and that made our memories of the day that much more special! The quality of her work is phenomenal. You can see her passion for photography simply by looking at her photos. We received our gallery of photos and I cried through almost the whole thing, she truly captured our day in such a beautiful way!

Sandra is amazing… extremely organized and professional, quick communication throughout the process, not to mention that we LOVE the finished products we received. Sandra and Naray (her second shooter the day of our wedding) were both a joy to work with, they helped put our guests (and us) at ease during the formal photos - they were even great working with our dog (who was our flower girl). The final images and video that we received are stunning, we are grateful that our special day was captured so beautifully. My husband and I both agree that the single best wedding planning choice we made was hiring Sandra, she is so helpful and really helped us capture the images we wanted in a way that felt very natural. We would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone getting married in Nova Scotia, you won’t have any regrets (we sure don’t!)

An incredible photographer from start to finish! Sandra and Dianne were wonderful on our wedding day and made sure to capture all the images we'd hoped for - plus many more! Sandra is very detail-oriented and ensured we were all on track. The photos are stunning.

Sandra was amazing to work with, very fast to communicate and communication was so good it took so much pressure off of me. A week before the wedding she sent me a reminder email of everything to bring and it was so helpful to be able to pack it all in a bag! She arrived early and looked for perfect spots which were shown to us. So well organized and a dream to work with making sure we got all the shots we wanted. Her team of photographers worked well together and helped us stage all the shots so we looked perfect. If I could remarry my husband again, Sandra would be my first call!

Due to the pandemic my wedding ended up happening in two separate parts over the span of 2 years. Sandra was with me every step of the way. From the moment we sat down to meet her and she started telling us about her process we were hooked. She is organized, detail oriented, passionate, and caring. Through all the craziness and the stress, Sandra keeps her cool and works with her team like a well oiled machine. I will never be able to say thank you enough for everything that she did or for the amazing photos and video that she took. If you need a photographer, she is the one you want!

I can’t say enough good things about Sandra and her team as our photographers and videographers! Right from the start she was incredibly organized. When my husband and I met with her for a consult, we got to look through her pictures which were absolutely stunning and we knew our special day would be captured perfectly! She had a range of packages to choose from, and we knew we wanted a video of the day so we never forget it. Having the same person/company do photography and videography is so convenient and really makes the whole process seamless. Sandra sat with us and went through the entire day, minute by minute, to ensure we highlighted moments we wanted captured, what group photos we wanted, what locations we wanted pictures taken at and created a timeline for the day. On the actual day, she and her team were so great to work with. They blended into the background so they could capture those candid moments, but also gave direction for the beautiful posed ones as well! When it came to the final results, my husband and I were blown away! The pictures are absolutely beautiful! The colours were stunning, the posed pictures were so carefully constructed, and the candid moments were artfully captured! The most difficult part of the entire experience was deciding which ones we wanted to hang on our wall! We are also extremely grateful we went with the video package. Reliving our special day is so magical, we never wanted it to end, and now it doesn’t have to  Sandra is extremely detail oriented and organized and the final products showed it. Her passion for her job shines through and you can tell she puts her whole heart into her art, it is greatly appreciated!

She thought of every detail to make the photos run smoothly! She was flexible and worked well with our requests. Her prices are very reasonable and the shots were BEAUTIFUL. We are so happy!

Sandra and her team were attentive and captured our wedding flawlessly, including hilarious outtakes. She got photos of our wedding that captured little details I was too caught up to notice in the moment, and I am so thankful we had her there to take wonderful images we can treasure for the rest of our life together.

We will recommend Sandra to everybody. She has such a passion for what she does, not to mention her prices are very reasonable. She is very accommodating and talented. We are thrilled we had her and her team on our wedding day! We loved that she offered "sparkler" night photos, it is such a unique thing we were very excited for.

We just finished watching the full feature and we absolutely love it! It turned out so good! You did a great job! We just wanted to thank you again and let you know that we have received so many comments about how beautiful our pictures turned out and everyone absolutely loved the highlight video! I’ve even had friends saying “I wish I had done that at my wedding”.
Thanks again!

halifax wedding photographer captures wedding party in a fun candid moment.

Sandra was so great to work with, from the very beginning! We were first impressed with her organization and in depth presentation of her services. She take such pride in what she does and it shows through her images.

Our engagement session was great and the pictures turned out so well. It was a good indication to us of how our wedding pictures were going to look, and she didn’t disappoint.

Our wedding day was so wonderful and she helped us to stay on track with timelines and was able to get all the images we wanted. The weather didn’t cooperate fully, but we were still able to find alternative locations for pictures and they look amazing! We’re so happy with the results and can’t wait to create books and print images to hang on our walls for years to come. She was able to capture not only our important memories, but allowed us to see our wedding through someone else’s eyes and perspective. We were so in the moment it’s easy to miss so much. Having these pictures we will treasure for our long and happy marriage and life together is priceless.

We were the first clients to use Sandra’s new website imaging software, so we were able to help her work through some of the initial kinks to make sure the program was running correctly. She was right there every step of the way to make sure everything was running smoothly and was able to answer any technical questions right away to allow us to have our pictures ready to download and print. I highly recommend Sandra for all your wedding photography needs, she will help make your wedding day memorable.

We cannot say enough good things about Sandra. Our wedding photos are better than we ever could’ve imagined. She has a talent for capturing the real “raw” moments, that you want to be able to look back on. She was also super flexible with us, as we were one of the couples who had to cancel our wedding during Hurricane Dorian. Thank you so much for everything!

Sandra was very personal from the start. During our first meeting with her, she was very thorough and ensured that we had all the information we were looking for before we left her studio. She checked in with us every few weeks and was excellent for time management on the wedding day. She also came to our rehearsal to ensure we were all on the same page for the big day. We had our photos back within a few weeks (great sneak peeks to hold us over!!) and full feature wedding video within a few months after our wedding. We love all of our photos and video footage and would highly recommend her services to anyone interested! Thank you to Sandra and her team!!

Halifax wedding photographer with the bride and groom for wedding photos on the halifax harbourfront in dewolfe park.

When I was looking for a photographer, I wanted someone who would capture real beautiful moments. That’s exactly what I got with Sandra and her team. At the last minute, we changed some details of the wedding due to some medical complications and Sandra was nothing but professional and accommodating. During the day of the wedding, things were bouncing off schedule as is predictable with any wedding and Sandra just went with it, with patience. She captured some amazing shots that we are still blown away by. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. Not to mention, her prices for the quality can’t be beat . Thank you Sandra for capturing our most special day !!!!!

HEATHER AND NEAL OZANO

Best Western Chocolate Lake. Halifax NS

There are so many reasons we went with Sandra. Her packages are outstanding, the value is unbeatable, and they included everything we needed and more. Every so often Sandra would introduce add ons to her existing packages and then add them to our package at no extra charge even though we’d already signed a contract. We felt from the beginning that Sandra wanted beautiful pictures as much as we did. She really showed it by pre-scouting the area and figuring out the best places to get the look we wanted. She has a wonderful style but still took into account what our vision was and then improved on it, giving us photos we didn’t expect and LOVE. We were lucky to meet Sandra as she began doing video, they are invaluable. The day goes by so fast it’s nice to watch it later. I still can’t get through it without crying. One of the most helpful things Sandra did for us, was take charge of the schedule. She’s like a magician with time, she fit in everything we wanted. The final pictures speak for themselves, she captured not only the feeling of the day but every single detail. We couldn’t be happier! To this day, she’s still doing little fixes for me when I ask and maintaining our online gallery. Outstanding service.

Sandra, ever since you added that first sneak peak wedding photo I have not been able to put my phone down. I’ve been looking through our album 500 times a day and it seems like every time I look at a picture again I find something else I love about it. Having you at our wedding was an absolute joy, from helping to sew my “something blue” onto my bouquet before my wedding to helping me remove stains from my dress before the reception, you went above and beyond what we expected from a photographer. I’ve gotten more compliments about my wedding photos than I can even count. Everyone is just blown away. You are far from just a photographer, you are an artist and I can’t thank you enough.

Thanks for taking the time to read my wedding testimonials and reviews from past clients.
