Sheri McMahon Photography

From the moment I saw Sheri's website I was in love with her style, I knew instantly that she would be my mentor. So I decided to do a 1: 1 full editorial. I knew without a doubt she would put in so much effort and beautiful details to create something magical. I let Sheri put everything together because I trusted her vision, colour pallet, table setting and all the details to create something so beautiful and it exceeded my expectations!

I wanted to invest in a mentoring session because I felt that I needed expert advice that could help me improve my business photos and the composition of my images. I just started using film and I wanted to have beautiful photos to attract clients that love details and editorial storyline work. I wanted to learn from the best in the industry and I feel Sheri is the best wedding photographer in Australia.

Before the day I was nervous because I didn't want to miss a beat. During the day Sheri gave tricks and tips along the way, which really helped me to make my photos intentional with every frame.

Sheri is a down-to-earth, happy, and very inspirational person. The day was absolutely amazing. She also encouraged me to push my business forward. I was so inspired by her style, knowledge, and easygoing personality and how incredible the day went. She will always be your cheerleader. "

Sheri is an absolute dream to work with and I can honestly say our wedding day wouldn't have been so amazing without her! An amazing photographer, perfectly professional, and a great person.

I can 100% say now that booking Sheri in as my first vendor was the best decision I made! We worked so closely together on so many elements of the wedding, understanding my vision and what was needed to achieve that! I didn't really believe how quickly the day would go - and so to have someone I could trust in my corner from the very beginning of planning to the actual day was so so important. We feel so lucky to have been able to work with Sheri.

Sheri was the ultimate photographer on our wedding day - navigating all of the expected and unexpected challenges with confidence and such sophistication! She worked with us on our vision and adjusted as we battled the elements, I truly couldn’t have managed it without her guidance on timing, best lighting and all the rest!

I loved how efficient she was, all the while maintaining the highest standards that we will be so grateful for. The pressure to rush is insane - but you were focused on us, and reminded us that it was our day to enjoy! "

Sheri has been wonderful helping us along our wedding photography journey. And it is a journey - there are so many things to consider. Sheri simplified the whole process and is always happy to help.

Our wedding photography experience was amazing. Although the weather was a bit difficult, everything still felt like it went so smoothly! Sheri was so good at what she does. During our photos Sheri made me feel comfortable, confident and stress-free! A TIP when looking for a wedding photographer yourself. Check that the other photographers don't just shoot weddings as a side gig on the weekends. Don’t cheap out. Sheri is obviously a professional full-time wedding photographer and it shows in her craft.

Sheri was amazing to work with. Her relaxed nature helps you to feel comfortable behind the camera, and she encourages you to be yourselves. Our session flew by, and by the end, I couldn't believe how much fun we were having - even my partner who isn't normally a fan of photographs. She's a true professional and we were thrilled with the way the photos turned out - the hardest part has been choosing which ones to use and print. I highly recommend engagement photos. Not only do you get gorgeous photos together to keep forever, but it helps in knowing what to expect in terms of photos for your wedding day. Another bonus for having an engagement session is that we took full advantage of being all dressed up and turned it into a date night. It's made us even more excited for our wedding day.

I attended Sheri's Fine Art Luminoso Workshop. I wanted a workshop that was beautifully styled and something that would be useful to build a destination wedding photography portfolio. I wanted something epic.

The investment in Sheri's workshop was 100% worth it. It's so valuable to have this kind of content, especially with starting to build a portfolio for photography and higher-end clients. It will really set me apart if used well. Not only did this experience provide me with good content, but it also gave me confidence in my skills, made me more intentional in my shooting and helped me map out my next steps as a photographer.

If you are a photographer considering attending one of these workshop, don't hesitate. You do not want to miss out on an amazing day and life-changing content. Her styling and shooting are on point and she pays great attention to details it will improve the way you approach a wedding day. You will LOVE being able to spend the day just being creative. It's why you went into photography in the first place right?

Once in a while, we just need a Sheri day and for me, it was perfection. I'm almost convinced Sheri manifested the sun to come out. Highly recommend it to anyone!

Sheri, thank you for your patience with us on the day and the edits speak for themselves - you're a professional!

You made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and in our skin.which doesn't happen often trust me. From the whole Anderson clan, thank you.

Ive worked with Sheri on a Wedding as well as being a part of her recent Photography workshop and all I can say is WOW! Sheri is so talented and takes the most incredible timeless photos. She is a beautiful person and brings such a calming presence to the day. Highly recommend.x

My now husband and I had an Amazing experience with Sheri! We all felt so comfortable. Sheri made us all laugh throughout the day, therefore creating the natural laughing photos were so easy. I was surprised (in a good way) How relaxed and organised she was, she knew where she wanted us to stand and at what time. Made it a delightful experience and a quick one so we could get back to the party. My only advice is to hire Sheri and only Sheri!

We had an unreal experience with Sheri on and before our Wedding day. She was nothing short of amazing. Not being from the area we had a lot of questions regarding hair/makeup/celebrants/venues etc and Sheri was more than accommodating in helping us with recommendations! We met with her a couple of days prior to check out some awesome photo locations and nothing was too much trouble. Sheri made us both feel as ease on our wedding day. Pick someone who makes you feel comfortable from the first conversation! My first phone conversation with Sheri was easy and I felt like I’d known her for years. 100% would recommend and her sneak peak photos are AMAZING! Can’t wait for the rest. Thanks so much lovely x

Sheri is THE photographer of your dreams! I cannot thank Sheri enough for being not only one of the best photographers in the world to capture my very special day but also for helping me emotionally prepare for it!
From the very beginning when choosing Sheri she was prompt via email/phone to ensure that we had everything booked in accordingly. Unfortunately due to Covid we were in pretty unsteady territory with not knowing if we would still pursue with the original wedding date and numbers of the wedding. After finding out 3 months before the wedding date I was now expecting my first child it was even more stressful not knowing if we could get married before I started to show!
Sheri was an emotional support for me through this all, she didn’t have to take the burden on checking in with me prior to the wedding but she did. Thank goodness we only had to postpone the wedding 2 weeks and all I can say is Sheri is an absolute weapon!
I literally had no direction to give Sheri as we could not meet up prior to wedding, etc. I asked her to just direct and do what she had to do to help us as I didn’t want the stress of it all.
Sheri turned out to be a fantastic photographer, wedding coordinator and mentor! With such a big wedding party she organised my crazy bridal party and we had the best bloody day! It was not stressful at all, an absolute blast! We had no plan, but Sheri made sure that we captured moments that will last with us forever.
The photos captured are the Vogue inspired theme I had for my wedding, nice and bright with natural lighting. Sheri assisted with how we modelled in shots and to be honest just made us feel incredibly comfortable all day.
Thank you again Sheri for truely being one of the most amazing people to work with. I feel like after something like this experience you take away a friendship with it as well.
I will forever use Sheri to be my photographer forever and so should you!

Everyone needs great photos, especially when it comes to personal branding. Sheri’s approach is creative, thoughtful and relaxed which I thought was great. She helps leaders best express their brands and that’s what I appreciate most working with Sheri, is that it’s not just a standard shoot.

When looking for a wedding photographer it was important to us to have someone who had great energy and had an easy-going personality plus amazing photos. We wanted someone we trusted to be a part of our special day. As soon as we spoke to Sheri on our first call we knew she was the one for us, we didn’t even consider anyone else! ”

My partner and I wanted professional photos for our engagement and that’s exactly what we got! We were so nervous going for our photo shoot but Sheri made us feel instantly comfortable. She had so much knowledge and took her time to make sure we were perfectly positioned for the most amazing photos. The final gallery turned out impeccable. We will definitely get her again for our wedding.

Wow what an experience! Sheri is so beautiful and professional with her work and was the perfect person to capture my partner’s and I engagement. We were so nervous but felt at ease with her knowledge and experience of 10+ years. When I saw the photos, they were so beautiful, I got emotional just looking at them! Thankyou so much Sheri for capturing this moment, we shall cherish them forever!

Sheri was an incredible photographer to work with. I was unsure if we’d be able to find someone since we were travelling but her style and approachability made for one of the most incredible photoshoot experiences. We had fun and the images are timeless. Images we’ll treasure for a long time. Sheri was so good with the kids and was patient even though they were unsettled and we didn’t know how to pose.

My experience with Sheri has been incredible. She has been so welcoming and has already gone above and beyond to make my special day possible. Warm, friendly, motivated and provided a lot of needed advice and guidance. I was happy with her immediately and did not look for anyone else.

"Sheri has an art to be able to coordinate all of the wedding guests and bridal party to make all the photos look as natural, flawless and beautiful as possible. We had a large wedding party of 14 guests and she was able to make each individual shine. The day also included a broad range of different weather events (from beautiful sunshine to overcast, to rain, back to sunshine and then dusk) all the images were absolutely perfect no matter the setting, location, weather or backdrop. So much talent! The photos and images looked like something straight out of Vogue magazine and she was able to truly capture the mesmerising moments that was this incredible day!
My entire family are so grateful to have had Sheri as part of the day. She was able to capture every single moment and memory so beautifully. Watching the slideshow she created brought tears to my mother's eyes (that's how exquisite this product and service is!) Thank you Sheri for everything, I know all my family and people involved in the wedding are ecstatic with everything you have done! We are obsessed! " x Max

Never having had professional photos taken of ourselves before and were feeling a little nervous about our photos for the wedding, we didn’t want to look silly! A practice run before the day as an engagement session sounded perfect and thought it would be lovely to have some beautiful pictures besides our wedding photos too.
Sheri was fantastic - she was brilliant at giving guidance on what we could do to help frame photos and make them look good, then let us go! She encouraged us to be our natural selves, which made the whole process much less daunting, and a lot of fun!

After the session, we were so happy, excited about the session (and the next one to come!) and actually felt really close as a couple afterwards (probably because we’d just had a couple of hours snuggling and dancing around a paddock with a glass of wine)

Highly recommend doing an engagement session before your day - we feel so much more relaxed going into our wedding photos, and it will be lovely to have some beautiful pics of us being more casual.
