Springfield Missouri Wedding Photographer
Portraits
Indoors, outdoors, sunny or overcast - different settings will give different results!
Ceremony
Some venues are indoor with low lighting, while others may have lots of windows to let in tons of light. You may choose to have an outdoor ceremony which can present challenges if there are clouds and then bright sunlight.
Reception
Many times the reception is dimly lit. I know how to use different kinds of flash to augment and provide beautiful lighting for all those important parts of your reception!
KIND WORDS
I could not be happier that I found Sheila for our wedding day. Not only is she amazing at taking photos, but her genuine desire to make you happy when taking your photos is what separated her from the rest. She can make anyone comfortable in front of the camera, she’s great with posing, giving direction, and getting those candid shots. I’m so impressed with her determination and will to do what it takes to get the shot, a real trooper. I could not be happier with how our photos turned out. I can’t imagine using anyone else. You will not regret it!!

Details
The little things are still important. That's why they're called details. That necklace that you got from your grandma on your 16th birthday. The tie with your mom's picture on the back or that gorgeous cake that your cousin made. And especially that dress you wore all day that you dreamt of for years. All of those things help make up the best day of your life.

What's your photography style?
I categorize myself as a "true to color" photographer. I don't use filters for my images. I want you to be able to look at your images decades from now and still love your photos so I don't follow fads or trends with editing!

How many photos will we receive from our wedding day?
I don't guarantee a specific number of images. So many factors can go into how many images get delivered such as the size of your wedding party, the number of family groupings you request, whether or not you have a DJ and if your attendees like to dance or not. Usually I deliver more than 50 images per hour.

Do we get the copyright for the images?
You purchase usage rights which include unlimited printing and sharing on your personal social media profiles. Copyright (ownership) is retained by me.

Can we send the digital files to our venue or other wedding vendors?
Please refer all vendors to me for requests to use images from your wedding. Again, the ownership rights are retained by me as the photographer per United States copyright laws. Also, you may not submit to any online or print publication.

Can we purchase or will you provide RAW files?
Raw files are never sent to clients. This would be unfinished work and would not have my editing style which is part of the experience that I offer.

What happens if your camera malfunctions during the wedding day or ceremony?
I always have a backup camera with me, and during the ceremony I carry two camera's on me at all times so I will always have a backup!
