"Sydney was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! After searching high and low for the perfect photographer, the moment I connected with Sydney I knew she was the one. A 30 minute face time quickly turned into 2 hours. We clicked instantly, and I could tell she truly understood the vision I had for capturing our special day. I want to say we talked to at least 15 people, and once we met Syd it was a no-brainier. I am so glad she was just as excited and open to flying out to Montana as we were to have her there!
 
From the very beginning, Sydney went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. Her expertise and attention to detail were unparalleled - she helped me with the timeline, provided invaluable advice, and made sure we were completely prepared leading up to the wedding. Sydney's dedication and professionalism were apparent in everything she did.
 
On the wedding day, Sydney's calming presence and ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera was remarkable. My fiancé, who is usually shy in front of the camera, said he would work with Sydney again in a heartbeat. She has such a gift for putting people at ease and bringing out their best.
 
The photos Sydney captured are truly breathtaking. She has an incredible eye and artistic talent that is evident in every shot. We received the photos from our rehearsal dinner the very next morning - what an amazing surprise and gift! The turnaround time on all of our photos was faster than we ever could have expected. Such a special gift.
 
Sydney has become more of a friend than just a vendor to us. We cannot wait to work with her again, whether it's for our next big life event or just a fun photo shoot. We will fly to whenever she is, because she is THAT GREAT. If you are looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented, professional, and wonderful to work with, look no further than Sydney. We are forever grateful to her for helping to make our wedding day so special."

"Sydney is easily the best photographer I know! We hired her for our wedding in September 2022, and she went above and beyond! Sydney is very responsive and invested in her clients; as soon as she responded to my inquiry, she answered all the questions I had. Her flexibility is unmatched too! Our venue was only available the day before the one I quoted her, and she responded in minutes about changing the date for us. Sydney also set up a coffee meeting, so we could talk about all the pictures we were looking for and a timeline. She made me feel so comfortable that I was going to get the pictures I wanted, and she even lent me advice on planning which was so helpful.

The day of, she was AMAZING!! She was so kind, professional, and helpful. My husband and I are not inherently photogenic, and she made sure we felt comfortable while directing our poses that felt really natural. I loved how Sydney is both a helpful friend and a photographer on wedding day! She even had a little crochet tool to help my bridesmaids button up my dress. And our pictures are stunning!! The next day she was able to send us some sneak peeks, and I’m already having trouble picking just a few to frame—they’re all too good!! If you’re looking for a photographer for your wedding, you have to pick Sydney! She is thoughtful, professional, talented, and kind!"

"Sydney had a promotion going on for her photography services where she would travel to San Francisco at no charge to us, and shoot our engagement photos. We had so much fun shooting with her and she really helped my fiance to feel more comfortable and at ease (he hates photos lol). Later that day, she texted me that some photos were ready to view and they were amazing! I texted her to let her know that we had an engagement party coming up and asked if she could edit a couple more... she then, in THREE DAYS, had our entire shoot completed and sent them all to me to use for our party. Understandably, this situation is extremely rare and doesn't happen often, but Sydney went out of her way to get us everything we needed for our party and all the photos were perfect. Highly recommend."

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sydney. If you are looking for a photographer, just book her already!

Sydney took my engagement photos and she was an absolute gem to work with from start to finish. She helped brainstorm locations and even called around to figure out if we could hold the photo session there, if there were any fees to use the location, etc. After setting the date and location, I had surgery and it took me longer than expected to recover. I was so worried and distraught, but Sydney reassured me that it wasn't a problem! We rescheduled the shoot to give me a couple more months to heal. When it came to the day, I warned her that my fiancé and I are both awkward in front of the camera. She had us dancing and playing and laughing the entire time. We had so much fun! Her bubbly personality instantly put us at ease. She had such creative and unique pose ideas, yet it felt so natural.

At the end of the shoot, she told us she'd get the photos to us in 4-6 weeks. 6 days later, I received an email from her and expected a sneak peek at a handful of photos. No, she sent over a whole gallery of STUNNING photos. I couldn't believe how quickly she was able to edit and send them! They all looked better than I could have ever imagined! I HIGHLY recommend hiring Sydney Shaye as your photographer for any special event."
