"My experience with Sydney and Nick was absolutely amazing. From the beginning Sydney was extremely communicative and made sure to ask exactly what I wanted for the pictures for our wedding. Taking pictures sometimes makes myself and my now-husband feel awkward, because we don’t know how to pose etc… but on wedding day Sydney and Nick made us both feel so comfortable and gave us direction when needed or simply let us live in the moment while snapping pics of us. Even just by looking at the preview gallery, Sydney captured my favorite moments of my wedding night. She got pictures of me dancing with my grandparents, my parents, and all of our friends. Throughout the night they made sure to have coverage on both myself and my husband (which btw thank you both because i know we were running around). And overall it was just a wonderful experience. I would recommend Sydney to anybody looking for a wedding photographer who is determined to take pictures that make you feel like you are reliving that exact moment when you look at them. I chose Sydney for this exact reason, each photo is so purposeful and just literally full of emotion. Sydney’s vision for pictures is absolutely unmatched and I will forever be in love with all the moments she was able to capture."

"Sydney Marie captured the true essence of us; the way we strive to be as a couple in love. Instantaneously, we knew we could place our trust in her expertise and intuitive nature. She's consistent, in both her style and her commitment to growth. She's communicative and present, making us feel prioritized and special. Sydney immortalized our intimate moments for us to revisit, pass along, and preserve for future generations. A true golden ratio of professionalism, quality, and kindness!"

"I wish every bride was lucky enough to feel how I did receiving our wedding photos from Sydney— shocked, delighted and overcome with emotion. She is a true artist and captured our day even more beautifully than I could have imagined. As her work may speak for itself, it’s also worth noting that her and Nick’s energy is calm and positive, with my entire family noting what a wonderful sweet couple they are. Moreover, the documentary approach was exactly as I’d hoped for. They were carefully in the background, anticipating authentic moments and making everyone feel extremely comfortable around the camera. We skipped a first look, and I imagine we still posed for no more than 15-20 minutes throughout the entire day. She also gave us a preview of roughly 200 photos within a few days of the wedding which was an amazing treat. Thank you, Sydney and Nick! Your skill and efforts were so thoroughly appreciated."

“PERFECTION - Sydney and HER TEAM were beyond incredible to work with. I already knew I loved her photo style after finding her on Instagram and confirmed her availability before I even committed to a venue because I was so set on working with her.Her photos, of course, exceeded by expectations but I was so blown away by the service and communication. She was so easy to work with from the start in terms of coordinating. On the day of, she was the most calming presence. We were behind on timeline and she did the best job of just rolling with the punches and reassuring me that we'd get what we needed.I was amazed when we got photo previews within 24 hours of our wedding. I hope all my friends hire her so they get to experience her amazing work.”

"To say we're happy/obsessed would be an understatement. I know this is just a preview gallery and there's plenty more to come, but already from what we've seen, it is abundantly clear how exceptional you guys are at your craft. On top of that, I'd be remiss not to mention just how wonderful it was to work with you—you brought such professionalism, thoughtfulness, ease, and patience to our day (especially during the parts that were a little more chaotic!), and we're so grateful for it all. It's been so fun reliving the day through these photos and being able to see some of the moments that we missed, and the pictures also highlight all the times when you both blended in so seamlessly that we didn't even know a moment was being captured. We're in awe, and just over-the-moon already!"

“I was initially captivated by Sydney Marie Co's poise, professionalism, and unique attention to detail when they photographed a wedding in which I was a bridesmaid. Fast forward years later, and Sydney Marie Co remained my first choice for photography. From our initial meeting to our continuous communication throughout the wedding planning process, I felt heard, understood, and confident that my wedding would be captured exactly as I had envisioned. Sydney and her team exceeded all expectations, bringing a sense of ease and calmness that allowed me to fully savor every moment of my wedding day. I didn't have to stress about getting the perfect shot or following a lengthy shot list, as I trusted Sydney Marie Co's keen ability to capture emotions and experiences in their work. Every time I revisit our photos, I am brought back to the feelings and experiences of the moments captured. The talent, dedication, and compassion of Sydney Marie Co is unmatched, and I am incredibly grateful to have worked with them.”

“We genuinely couldn’t have loved our experience with Sydney (and Nick!) more. From the engagement session, we loved getting to meet them for the first time and really getting comfortable with her shooting style. My husband is also a photographer and Sydney was really open to hearing his ideas and playing off of his creative vision, all while overlaying her own artistic interpretation. On our wedding day, Sydney was cool, calm, collected, and coordinated. She kept things moving along without having us feel rushed or like we were missing any part of our day. And, perhaps most importantly and impressively, they both were seamlessly integrated into the day. They got incredible shots without ever being in the way or intrusive. There are moments we saw captured that I didn’t even realize they’d been there for. We really wanted candid and authentic yet highly artistic photos, and Sydney couldn’t have captured our day more perfectly. I’m so grateful for these memories, and I could not recommend her more highly.”

“From start to finish, working with Sydney and her team was better than we could have ever imagined. We had Sydney shoot our engagement shoot so we could get comfortable. in front of the camera, which was so much fun, followed by our three day wedding weekend. Sydney and her team (Nick and Reese) understood exactly the vibe we wanted, by allowing us to enjoy our weekend and capturing rather than capturing and having the actual moment come second. That was extremely important to us, and they absolutely crushed it. We felt comfortable working with them and we were able to have fun with them. I didn't realize how important having people who genuinely were amazing at their work, but also just matched your personality well mattered, but after experiencing the weekend, it is so important and are so happy we had Sydney and team to be apart of the weekend as photographers and just great vibes. We can't wait to have Sydney and her team shoot all of our future life events, as we couldn't work with anyone else ever again after experiencing the best of the best!”

"Sydney’s photos had been my inspo pics throughout my entire pre-planning process, and I was thrilled when she was available for our wedding! From the start, she was an extremely prompt and thorough communicator, generously granting us access to her via email, phone and text, and clearly outlining her availability and when she’d be back in touch if presently occupied with another event. She was so helpful to two photo novices, walking us through outfit, pose, and setting tips for our engagement shoot. We immediately felt at ease and were even more excited for the main event, where our photos speak for themselves - but I’ll fill in. She was the perfect blend of a helpful presence - knowing the timeline better than we did, corralling wedding party and family as needed - and a background operator, capturing the night without taking us away from the moment. Previews arrived promptly, and our add-on package of iPhone footage was my FAVORITE part. I can’t recommend it enough!! Not only was it great fodder for TikToks, reels, and recaps, it was such a fun way to see the small moments between photos and basically get extra footage of the entire wedding day - delivered in less than 12 hours. Huge thanks to Sydney and her entire team for creating lifelong memories we’ll look at for years to come!"

“Working with Sydney for our wedding weekend was such a positive experience! Not only did we enjoy spending time with them throughout the festivities, but their creative eye and fun energy brought an incredible perspective to capturing our wedding events. My husband and I are both camera shy but Sydney and Nick made us feel confident and comfortable having our picture taken. The photos they took captured our entire wedding weekend in such an authentic and genuine way. We loved reliving every moment through each photo as they really captured the joy that was felt in the moment. Cannot recommend them enough for what will be one of the best additions to your wedding weekend!”

“Sydney is an absolute gem! As we approach the five-month mark since our magical wedding day, we are overflowing with gratitude for her exceptional work and dedication. We've now worked with Sydney four separate times- two separate engagement photo sessions with us (one in Nashville, one in NYC), as well as our rehearsal dinner and entire wedding day.I can confidently say that Sydney is not just a skilled photographer; she is the epitome of professionalism, calmness, and JOY. It is so clear that she loves what she does. Sydney's ability to capture natural and organic moments, ensuring they translate beautifully to magazine-worthy photographs, is truly extraordinary. The quick turnaround of our preview and full gallery left us in awe, making our post-wedding days and honeymoon extra special as we reminisced over the abundance of photos.Sydney's photography style, as expected from her well-designed socials and website, perfectly aligns with the modern photography experience she promises. Some of her "extra" offerings, including film photos and an iPhone Photographer, became some of our favorite mementos from our wedding.Sydney and her team's talent are undeniable. It's clear she puts in hard work to ensure a smooth, exceptional photography experience for each and every couple.Sydney, you are a professional unlike any other we encountered during our 3.5 years of wedding planning. Thank you for being the most integral part of our day!”

"There aren't enough kind words to describe how amazing Sydney is. She is UNREAL!!!! From the get go, my husband and I wanted someone who had an unique photography portfolio. We did not want the super cheesy staged pics, but wanted someone who could capture our love much more naturally. We found Sydney on Instagram and were blown away from our initial phone call. She has a super modern, cool way of scheduling calls, keeping all your info and portfolio in one place and easy method of payment. You can tell Sydney truly loves what she does. We were full of nerves during our engagement shoot and she made us feel much more natural. She showed us that it's possible to have fun in front of the camera, and that carried through to our wedding day. Sydney is an amazing presence. She is punctual, hard working, easy to be around. She also directed an 18 person bridal party, 2 sets of parents, and the Bride & Groom with ease on the big day. She created and followed/keeping us on time with a wedding timeline that I used as basically my entire basis of the day. And the photos were AMAZING!!!! First off, we got our preview LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER!!!!! She blew us away. We are so grateful to have worked w/ her. We keep reliving the day through her amazing photos. We also were so appreciative to have Nick, her fiancé, as her second photographer - he got amazing shots and was a calm presence to be around as well. They work amazing together. THANK YOU SYDNEY!!!!!!"

"We had the absolute best experience! From our initial call to the wedding weekend, Sydney and her team were the absolute best to work with. Apart from being the most amazing photographers and beautifully capturing our wedding weekend, the team made the experience so enjoyable. They kept us calm and relaxed and we had a blast taking all the portrait photos for both our engagement and wedding. They captured the exact aesthetic we wanted and we really can't say enough about how much we loved working with Sydney and her team!"

'I can’t even begin to describe how amazing working with Sydney has been, from booking for our wedding with her in Tampa to adding on an engagement shoot in New York City she explained every step and made everything perfectly customized to us. The weather turned out to not look great for our engagement shoot and she proactively reached out to move the date/time that weekend to fit into our schedule and get the photos of our dreams! Her artistry and vision is unmatched— she was there whenever we needed her on our wedding day but also somehow not there at truly perfecting the art of documentary style photography so all we did was show up and enjoy our day. She captured countless little moments that we will forever treasure!"

"Where do I even begin! We found Sydney on TikTok and I knew she was the perfect fit for us. She was very responsive and from our first consultation call she was amazing! She could see our vision and explained that she loves a very relaxed and candid experience for the day, which is exactly what we were looking for! Her timeline was perfect and our day ran so smoothly. We felt so comfortable and didn’t feel too posed and everything felt natural. We got our previews back within 48 hrs which was awesome! Sydney is truly so talented and every time we look back at our photos we feel like we are reliving the day. They are timeless, classic, romantic, and everything we could want and more!"

"Using Sydney for my wedding day photography was probably the best choice I made in all of the wedding planning. There is so much stress in the wedding process and dealing with vendors can get frustrating especially when they are not responsive or you are not sure they understand your vision. This was not the case with Sydney! Any questions I had were promptly answered and from the first meeting with her I knew that I did not need to stress about anything and felt confident that she shared my vision."

" I have nothing but great things to say about Sydney. Her style of photography is story telling, editorial, and so personal. She flawlessly executed our wedding day, exceeding our expectations. We have LARGE families and I was so impressed how she wrangled them together for our portraits. Getting a preview gallery within 24 hours was AMAZING. Truly, she has an unreal turn around time. She is the kind of photography experience that leaves you thinking about what other future events can you hire her for."

"From my very first inquiry to my last, Sydney’s communication and response time was incredible! She was even on vacation in Paris when I first reached out and I was shocked how quickly she was replying to my messages. Her work just speaks for itself. I was clearly in love when I found her work and her work ethic just sold me. I knew I had found my wedding day photographer! I kept explaining to her that my husband and I were not ‘picture people’ and had never had professional photos taken of us. From the engagement session to the wedding day, she had such an effortless way of making us feel comfortable! She really felt like a friend just hanging out with us. I trusted her vision, so that I was not worried about. And just like her insanely quick response time, our preview pictures and full gallery were no different! I was blown away!"

"Sydney was my favorite vendor by far! She was the first vendor we hired (besides our venue). As soon as we saw her work, we knew we needed her to be a part of our day. From start to finish, we knew we were in great hands. After seeing our engagement session photos, we knew the photography at our wedding was something we didn’t need to stress about. I trusted Sydney and her team to capture the moments, and we probably gave her very minimal direction... that’s how great she is! The fact that we got about 100 photos two days after the wedding was mind blowing! It was very nice to share pictures right away. I can’t say enough great thing about Sydney’s work, her team, or her as a person."

"Working with Sydney Marie was amazing! She lead the way with her clear communication and organization leading up to the wedding so we knew we were in good hands day of. Sydney & Nick seemed to be everywhere at once but never once felt in the way, capturing all of the behind the scenes moments that we will cherish forever! Thanks Sydney & Nick for capturing our favorite day :)"

“I’d been following Sydney’s work for years before our wedding; she was the first vendor we booked after the venue and setting the date. Working with Sydney exceeded our wildest dreams! Every step of the way, Sydney and Nick were so kind and supportive. We really valued their input and creative direction from our engagement shoot, welcome party and the big day. The photos are memories that we’ll cherish forever; it beautifully captured the moments of the day.”

"The absolute best!! We are so impressed by Sydney Marie Co's pre-wedding communication and professionalism, not to mention the beyond gorgeous photos from wedding weekend! We've never done professional photos before, so Sydney's little tips for posing during portraits were incredibly helpful. Plus, the candid moments that were captured really embodied our entire wedding weekend! We also loved the film scans - it was the perfect way to add variety the digital photos! Thank you times a million!!!!"
