Macalah, I am seriously so glad that we decided to hop on a Zoom call after emailing back and forth! I truly believe it was meant to be to be photographing your wedding. Words seriously can not express how honored and beyond thrilled I am to be considered! From the moment we met, I knew that we would get along so well and truly believe that I will be able to capture your wedding beautifully. When you mentioned your flawless color pallet, beautiful venue, adorable flower girls I was thrilled, but I was already over the moon when I saw your infectious smile. I can not wait to capture that smile on your wedding day over and over again.
I work tirelessly leading up to your wedding day, during and long after in order to capture the smoothest of wedding days and create a cohesive gallery. I always tell my clients,
“We are the first ones to arrive on the wedding day, and the last to leave the dance floor at night.”
I live and breathe weddings so I am here for you as a wealth of knowledge every step of the way. Upon booking, I want to be your point person with all things wedding: mood boards, venue scouting, colors, creating a timeline of events for the day with your wedding coordinator, even venting about family members, in order to best serve you. When you book with me, you become one of my "people". You can hit me up for everything and all things weddings. I am here for you every step of the way, even if it is to grab a glass of wine and chat about what is stressing you out about planning. Once the wedding weekend has arrived, there are no surprises, miscommunications and my couples can just soak in the joy of getting married.
If this all sounds like a dream to you, let’s make it a reality! Scroll down to see your custom collection.
With all my love,
Cheryl
“Cheryl is a brilliant photographer. This paired with her innate ability to make everyone around her feel special and comfortable produces beautiful moments again and again. One of my favorite parts of her photos is that I was able to see myself in a way I’ve never even seen before: comfortable and confident in front of a camera.”
"I was able to see myself in a Way I've never even seen before"
Cheryl was not afraid to get right in the water with us and do whatever it took to get the perfect shot. Watching her walk chest deep into the water with her camera and get under a waterfall just showed us how far she is willing to go for her clients.
Being photographed by Cheryl is an absolute dream. As someone who hates being in front of the camera, Cheryl makes every bit of that fall away and you can't help but feel beautiful.
She is your biggest hype woman and no matter what, her contagious enthusiasm does not waver.
Working with Cheryl is like working with one of your best friends. She works to get to know you so she can make you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible while still capturing. your personality in every shot."

Q: What sets you apart from other photographers?
A: I have years of photography under my belt. Prior to launching my company, I spent years second shooting for brilliant photographers all over the country in order to learn from the best. I only shoot top of the line equipment (as well as my second shooter, who is a professional in his own right) and am comfortable in any and all lighting situations.
On top of that, you get full access to me! I am your ultimate hype woman, who genuinely loves wedding photography which means, I live, sleep and breathe wedding photography, so even though I am "just" the photographer, I can help you with any questions you may have about planning your wedding or styling your wedding.
Q: Will we get the print release to our photos after our wedding?
A: Yes! Upon receiving your images, you will also get a full print release.
Q: Will my photos be posted publicly on your site or social media?
A: I respect the privacy of each of my clients. I will ask each of them if it is okay to blog or post or submit their shoot to a publication and have them sign a waver. It does not bother me at all if they would prefer to keep their images private.
Q: Will you Photoshop my images to hide any unwanted spots, wrinkles, etc?
A: This is my favorite. I manually edit each and every one of your images in a way that will make you look your best, but no one will ever be able to tell you were photoshopped. During one of our first meetings, I ask "What are you self-conscious of?" I take that information and cater your posing and editing to that so you feel your most beautiful
Q: Do you have a list of preferred vendors to use?
A: Depending on the city we are working in, yes I have a list of preferred vendors, but I love making connections and working with new people! But if you need recommendations, I am here to help! Also I am able to make a list of questions for you to ask other vendors.
Q: Do I have to order prints through you?
A: You do not have to, but I highly recommend using professional print shops to print your photographs. This ensures the highest quality product. I offer after the wedding, a discount for going through me with my chosen vendors to help keep the price down.
Q: What equipment do you use?
A: Exclusively Canon. Ask this question to every photographer you look into hiring. My Second Shooter and I both shoot Canon 5D Mark IV with the newest Red Ring glass on both prime and zoom lenses (zoom only 70-200). For hybrid weddings I shoot a vintage Hasselblad 500 CM. This insures the highest quality images coming from my equipment.
Q: Do you photograph destination weddings?
A: Yes! I have gotten to the point this past year where I photograph more weddings across the country instead of in the South, but I have a soft spot for my home in Jackson, MS and New Orleans. Now that boarders are reopening I am including outside of the United States. *price upon request*
Q: How do we reserve our wedding date?
A: A 30% nonrefundable deposit & signed contract is required in order to get your wedding on the calendar and hold the date. The remainder of the contract is due two weeks prior to the wedding date.
Q: How long does my online gallery last?
A: Your online gallery is provided to you as a gift from me for 5 years! It is a wonderful keepsake to share with family and friends. You may request longer than 5 years for a small memory fee of 30/year after the 5 year mark.
Catherine & William if you have any questions at all please reach out!
I am SO excited to be potentially a part of your journey with you!
Sincerely,
Cheryl Cole
