Welcome
She believes in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. She believes in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.
The limited amount of images on a roll of film forced her to put her camera phone down and really observe the beauty in the world, and the people around us. Whenever she picks up her camera, she strives to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.

We're here as a resource beyond photography—whether you're looking for engagement session outfit recommendations, timeline advice, or vendor referrals.
Even if you're working with a wedding planner or you're planning a simple wedding, there are likely still a lot of moving pieces left leading up to your big day. We've photographed more than 150 weddings in the past few years and we're happy to share everything we've learned along the way!
wedding ADVICE
02
After photographing more than a hundred weddings over the past few years, we’ve found that we’re not the perfect fit for every couple. That’s why this process begins with a conversation. We want to hear everything—how you met, funny first date stories, and how y’all got engaged.
We’ll get to know one another, talk about the details of your day, answer any questions you might have about working with us and figure out if we’re the best fit for each other.
let's CONNECT
01
We’re big fans of engagement sessions for a few reasons. Not only do they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera, they also give you the opportunity to showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you.
Engagement sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos. We normally plan sessions based on a particular “look” a couple has in mind, spring flowers for example, or based on schedules.
engagement SESSION
03
We check-in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, your family formal list, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day.
While we normally don't send this questionnaire until closer to the wedding, please don't hesitate to let us know if you have questions during the planning process!
wedding PREP
04
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends.
Just know we're excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome.
BIG DAY is here!
05
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about five weeks of your wedding. At that time, we'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.
We hope the relationship doesn't end after we deliver your photographs. We want to hear about the adventures of married life. And if you decide to have kids, we'd love to document your growing family.

I cannot recommend Sharin more! From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, Sharin was attentive, professional, and an absolute joy to work with. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Sharin to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated photographer.

We couldn't be happier that we hired Sharin to capture our wedding. Sharin was so sweet and go with the flow as our day unfolded. The final delivery of our photos was on time and easy to access. I will cherish these photos for years to come.

We are so thankful we chose Sharin to photograph our engagement and wedding. She is such a joy to be around! The images were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We are so thankful to have these keepsakes! We highly recommend Sharin!!
"Sharin has a brilliant eye for capturing beautiful images."
from past clients
KIND WORDS
We’re big believers that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
Think about this fact: fifteen years ago, if we had delivered you digital images, they would have been on a floppy disk. With the fast updates to technology, you would have no way to access those images today. Even the online galleries we deliver will eventually fade away.
One of the best ways to make your memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents' wedding photos came in. They’re modern, made to last a lifetime and beyond and look incredible on a coffee table.

QUESTIONS
Do you share sneak peeks?
Do you create custom collections for couples?
When will we receive our photos?
Sneak peeks are one of my favorite things to share with you! Yes, sneak peeks will be sent to you via an online downloadable gallery within one week of your wedding day. These sneaks will be b+w as I wait for film to be processed. Not only that, but we share a BTS reel of your wedding day too! What a sweet way to take a walk down memory lane as you await your full gallery.
Absolutely! Sometimes, our packages do not suit every couple which is why I offer custom packages that are specially designed for you and your wedding day. We chat over the phone, go over details and from there I send a few different proposals your way to choose from. It's custom and unique just like your wedding.
Engagement sessions are delivered within 4 weeks and wedding galleries are delivered within 6 weeks. Both galleries are sent to you via email with an online downloadable gallery link.
When do you charge travel fees?
We typically add travel fees on to any wedding outside of a 60 mile radius from our home in Southern Indiana. Fees vary depending on location.
How many photos are typically included and can we print the photos ourselves?
We need help finding our other vendors. Do you have a guide you can share?
Full wedding day galleries typically include anywhere between 700 and 1000 photos. The exact amount varies from wedding to wedding. Your online gallery will come loaded with fully edited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your wedding photos on Facebook and instagram, we would also love a shoutout when you post.
Having photographed over 150 weddings, I have worked with some of the best vendors! For this reason, I've compiled an amazing list of vendors that I highly recommend and have a link I can send you full of amazing vendors to browse.
We love your work and want to book. What's the next step?
Fantastic! To reserve your wedding date, we’ll need a completed contract and a 35% non-refundable deposit. If you don’t have a contract yet, just let us know and we’ll send one over! The remaining balance will be split into two payments: the first is due halfway between the booking date and your wedding, and the final payment is due 30 days before your wedding day
Thank you so much for considering us to be a part of your wedding day! If you’re interested in working with us, the next step is to set up a time to chat! You can reach us directly at sharin@sharinshank.com
