I have nothing but positive things to say about Sherman! He was efficient, funny, and so laid back. His pictures are amazing and everybody at the wedding couldn't stop talking about how great he was. As someone who doesn't like having pictures of myself taken, he made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and just so happy. He was able to catch some amazing moments that I wouldn't have been able to catch myself. Plus he was super quick about getting the photos to me after the event. I have no clue how he was able to do it all himself, but he was amazing!

Sherman was absolutely incredible for our May 2016 wedding. We first met Sherman about one year before our wedding for our engagement shoot and we knew we were in great hands for our wedding day. Sherman typically works solo, which made us a little nervous, but he assured us he would be able to get all of the amazing shots we wanted for our wedding. Turns out, we had no reason to be nervous. Sherman captured every angle, reaction, emotion, and amazing moment. So many people commented how beautiful the photos turned out. Sherman is such a pleasure to work with - he made the entire process fun and kept us and the entire bridal party laughing. We will be definitely using Sherman for all future photography needs. Thank you for capturing our special day, Sherman!

Selecting Sherman Chu as our photographer was probably THE best choice we made in planning our wedding. He was an absolute pleasure to work with: friendly, funny, so easy going, and completely unobtrusive. By the end of the day, we loved Sherman so much, we felt like he was one of our guests! His gorgeous photos manage to capture both the raw emotion and details of the day - he didn't miss a thing. And he did it all so quickly, with no standing around for hours posing for pics! My new husband and I were amazed, looking at the over 450 captures, wondering how he managed to get so many different angles and special moments without us even noticing him darting around. He has this magic touch where every picture is flattering: we along with our friends and family look beautiful and joyous in every shot, and the light and color are incredible. Sherman's pictures somehow made our intimate and inexpensive backyard wedding look like a million bucks. We will treasure his photographs for the rest of our lives and we couldn't be more grateful to have found him!
