Above and beyond all our expectations!

Picking Only 1 Shot Photography for our wedding day was one of the best decisions we ever made. My wife and I don’t even know where to begin on how amazing Sawyer is. We were lucky enough to meet him for our engagement shoot and magic truly happened. We walked in feeling so nervous and unsure of ourselves, but walked away feeling confident in how our pictures would turn out. Fast forward to almost a year later and we got to work with Sawyer and his assistant Kristen the day of our wedding. Both of them made all of our visions and dreams come true. Everything we discussed leading up to the wedding was captured beautifully. Sawyer has amazing ideas that come to him in the moment and trust him on it! The shots come out amazing! He has a vision that truly captures the beauty and love of the couple he’s working with and gives you all the comfort and confidence you need on your big day. They both were able to create great shots, speak clearly on their ideas, and capture them quickly which helped with the flow of the day. They also helped the day run so smoothly by offering to help with things out of their realm. They both felt like they were just apart of our group and it made for a really wonderful experience. As a same sex couple, we really worried about finding the right people to work with us and make our day special. Sawyer did just that. After the wedding, our family and friends raved about him and Kristen and the positive and helpful energy they brought to the day. They not only captured the memories, but they were apart of them. We got to dance, sing, and laugh with them all throughout the experience. We can not speak highly enough about Sawyer and can’t wait to work with him in the future. If you are still looking for a photographer, Only 1 Shot Photography is the way to go!

Amazing moments captured

Sawyer was amazing! Could have not asked for a better photographer for our big day. Really personable and did whatever it took to get the best shot even if that meant getting down on the ground for the perfect angle. Excelent communication and gave me amazing moment captures that I will be able to cherish forever.

Amazingly Kind & Professional

Mandi was already waiting for us when we arrived which is always a good sign. The professionalism, quality, and dedication to getting the right shots was outstanding all day long. Even though I knew at points I was basically asking Mandi to be in 2 places at once, it all worked out. Both my wife and I are delighted to have worked with Mandi, and would highly recommend!

Mandi Shepard
Mandi Shepard
Photographer

Hi, I am Mandi Shepard.

I am an award winning photographer from the United States. I live and work in Towson, MD with my husband, son and our pets dog and duck. I love musicals, witty-fast-paced dialogue, (tell me your best and worst jokes!) really long books, learning for the fun of learning, and hiking.

What is Your Photography Style?

Authentic. I look for every opportunity to capture the best smiles, tears, laughs, sideways glances, and moments you never knew were moments.

Technically speaking, I am a lifestyle photographer. What does that mean to you? It means that I strive to capture the day as it really happens. While I can make friends with anyone, I also have the ability to blend into the background and capture tiny moments from afar. This allows me to come into the party as needed to get some really cool and fun shots, but out of the way enough to let your guests have intimate conversations.

During your portrait time, whether solo, engagement, family, or day of wedding, the most important thing you can do is be yourself. I know, it's intimidating! There's this girl with a camera in your face! But I promise, it doesn't start like that. We will have a little bit of get to know you banter, (and we'll talk before!) do some easy not-even-poses first, and make sure that the whole thing is fun and authentic to who you are.
