    Perceptions CT review

    Sandy is not only an incredible talented photographer but so thoughtful as well. She truly cares about making your event special and personal. She is so easy to work with and really makes this part of the planning process easy.
    Sandy was receptive to our vision and offered her professional expertise in areas that produced beautiful outcomes. Our wedding party, family and guests all raved about how well Sandy and her team managed the timeline seamlessly to capture all the key moments without feeling rushed.

    If you're looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to create timeless and stunning memories, we wholeheartedly recommend Sandy. She is a true artist and a wonderful person. We loved having her part of our special day.

    Simply the best

    Sandy and I go way back, at least 10 years. I grew up with Sandy photographing my high school journey through sports, band, senior pictures and graduation. When it came time to pick a wedding photographer who we picked wasn’t even a question, it HAD to be Sandy. The dedication that Sandy not only puts into her work but the time that she spends with her clients throughout the entire process is incredible, I know my day would not have ran so smoothly without her guidance and patience coordinating everyone for pictures. I know Sandy’s work so I knew our wedding pictures would be amazing but amazing is an understatement, they took my breath away, and that was just the preview! It was an honor having Sandy alongside us on our wedding day and I know she will be there again through more of life’s events. I cannot thank her enough for capturing our story and would highly recommend her again and again to anyone.

    Seamless and Perfect!

    Sandy came out of her own personal vacation to make our day extra special!

    She was very communicative and responsive and made planning photos for surprise proposal happen seamlessly down to coordinating right up to the moment.

    The pictures were beautiful and got to us quicker than even we could believe.

    Very highly satisfied and definitely recommend!!

    A spectacular photographer and so much more.

    Sandy was amazing throughout the whole wedding planning process. She made sure that the day was well planned out and ran smoothly. Sandy got to know us and had a real vision of what we would want. She tailored our photos for our special day. She captured all of our requests and more. Her eye for capturing special moments and vibe of the day made our pictures breathtaking. You can tell that Sandy loves what she does. It is safe to say that she had as much fun as our guests in attendance. Guaranteed, you will love Sandy’s creative and artistic work. There are so many perfect proofs to choose from.

    An amazing experience with Perception Photography for our daughters wedding.

    Sandy is very detail oriented. She made a list of all the people Allison wanted in her wedding album and everyone was crossed off the list. She is in the right spot at the right time and captures the perfect shots. We had an amazing day with Sandy and Melissa and would highly recommend Perception Photography.

    Perceptions Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Susan! It was such a pleasure working for you and your family and can't wait to show you the rest of the day's photos and fun!

    The absolute best choice for photography!

    Sandy and her team with Perceptions Photography is just an incredible team! From their photos and professionalism to their warmth and compassion, I really do not think there’s a better choice! Pictures you didn’t even know were being taken, and with our 3 little ones they were amazing at getting them to smile! Peek a boos and wheels on the bus and everything! I could never reconnect them enough!!

    thank you for this wonderful review Ciara! We are so proud to have been chosen as your wedding photographer! CONGRATULATIONS once again!

    Excellent, Professional Photography

    I have known Sandy for 20 years, as she was the photographer for my wedding. At first, we were interviewing other companies who were on the cheaper side and after not falling in love with any of them, gave Sandy a call. My wife instantly fell in love with Sandy's clear knowledge and experience, and this carried through until the wedding. Everything was smooth, well-thought out beforehand, and made our wedding day simple and stress free. We had a clear plan that was created by Sandy, and it was adhered to from beginning to end. Pictures were quick and painless, and after receiving the proofs, I can say that are perfect in every way. We can not say enough incredible things about this company, anyone would be more than pleased to hire Perceptions/Sandy.

    Perceptions Photography's reply:

    It was so nice to end our wedding season with your special wedding day! I was so happy that we were able to get those outdoor photos in before the weather turned and was even more excited to photograph your ceremony inside one of the most beautiful venues I know! Thanks so much for having us Jason & Erin!

    October Wedding

    On a day where the plan is supposed to come together smoothly, people like Sandy are there to help make sure that happens.

    There’s no one better!

    There is so much I want to say about the incredible work and service Sandy provides. First and foremost, she is the kindest person, and works SO hard to ensure the final product is exactly what you envisioned. She asks the important questions, personalizes your experience, and makes every step feel seamless from start to finish. Sandy has become a family friend after photographing our high school sports, band, and other events, my senior portraits, my brother’s senior portraits, my godson’s baptism, and now, our wedding!!! Through every experience with Sandy and her team at Perceptions, we felt at ease. It was never a question when we were looking for a wedding photographer who we would choose. Sandy makes it fun, and does such an amazing job taking all the stress out of your day! We truly can’t say enough about our experience. Don’t look anywhere else if you want a dream photography team— Sandy has you covered! Thank you, Sandy & Mark!!!

    Perceptions Photography's reply:

    Thank you Taylor & Kim ... we are so thrilled you chose us to capture this absolutely beautiful day. Everything about it was a perfect ... emotionally, as well as one of the top 10 weather days of our career. So happy for you both! Wishing you all the best always!

    Don't look any farther than Sandy and Perceptions!

    We had the BEST time with Sandy! She was not only professional but helped us have a great time though the entire planning process. She is prompt, helpful, and we can honestly say that she was our best vendor. We can't wait to use her again in the future!

    Truly goes above and beyond...not just a photographer!

    Sandy and her team are INCREDIBLE! They are detail-oriented, family based and really kept us on track throughout the whole day. She is not only thoughtful but she had the best suggestions for poses, scenery, and capturing the sunset and moonlight perfect. Not only was she a photographer that day but she even fixed one of my bridesmaids dresses! She was punctual, professional and I never had to worry about 1 thing on my wedding day. She never made me feel rushed but we everything fell right into place.

    Her pictures are creative, different and unique. When my bridesmaids and I were getting ready, she saw a picture of my younger cousin and I and had us recreate the picture, it was beautiful. She truly goes above and beyond, I would recommend her 1000 times over!

    Perceptions Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Kassandra & Dan! And I was so happy when we got that unexpected photo op with the horses! So happy for you both and wishing you all the best in your years ahead!

    Sandy was amazing!!

    Anyone you ask will tell you Sandy is a top wedding vendor. Sandy was my sister’s wedding photographer a few years ago – she did such a great job it made the choice easy for us when it came time to pick our own wedding photographer. She has a great attitude and personality (which is key as you’re with your wedding photographer all day long)! She helped us get organized with her shot list form and provided helpful insights throughout the planning process. She captured every picture we wanted and more. Our wedding plans were impacted by COVID, so we had to postpone our reception. She was so accommodating and continued to ease our stress throughout the planning process and on the day of. Our engagement pictures came out great and she even designed and printed our save the dates. We cannot thank Sandy enough for all her hard work and the beautiful job she did photographing our wedding. We’re very grateful to know such a talented, wonderful person.

    Thank you so much Kelley! In the end, your wedding was an absolutely beautiful celebration and can't wait to bring it all together for you in your album! So proud of all you have accomplished during a crazy time!

    Beautiful photos; Perceptoions Photography captured our day!

    Sandy is an amazing photographer. We had an intimate wedding and she was able to capure its many hightlights. Sandy also found the perfect outdoor setting for a photo session before the actual nuptials, making the day even more special. Communicating with Sandy was easy; she was always an email or text away. Thank you for caputring our wedding day!

    Felt like family!

    We first met Sandy when she did the photography for our close friends wedding, and when we were planning our wedding knew that we wanted to work with her. She made us feel so comfortable while also giving great directions for posing that we very much needed. She went above and beyond to make sure she provided us the service we wanted, and day of felt like having another family member there. She made a great recommendation for videographer as well and the two worked together seamlessly. Sandy did both our wedding and our engagement photos and we could not be happier with our choice!!

    Sandy is incredible!

    When we began planning our wedding, photography was our #1 priority and we wanted to find someone we could trust through the process. Sandy guided us through every step of planning (both photography and the wedding itself!) and made us feel so comfortable. Both our engagement photos and wedding day photos are stunning - she made two camera-shy people enjoy every moment! By the end of the wedding planning process, Sandy felt like family and we were so happy to share our day with her. We cannot recommend her enough for your wedding day, and we are so excited for Sandy to photograph all of our future milestones!

    WOW! Takes unbelievable photos and captures the emotions/moments!

    Where do I even begin to share how amazing Sandy at Perceptions Photography is?! Sandy is an incredible photographer. Sandy truly captures the moments to the point that when I look through my pictures, I feel like I am right in that exact moment again. I wanted a photographer that not only takes beautiful pictures, but captures the emotions and details. Sandy does just that! She is able to do this because combined with her obvious talent, she goes out of her way to build a genuine relationship from day one. Before the wedding, Sandy learned all 8 of my bridesmaids names AND the flower girl (which definitely won her over) and made everyone just feel special that day. Throughout the entire planning process (add an extra year with Covid) Sandy always checked in, not only about planning, but just about life in general. With the extra year and having 2 year old engagement photos, she even asked if I wanted to redo any for my new save the dates! I didn’t need to take her up on that opportunity because we loved how our first ones came out. The point is that during the most busy wedding season yet, she thought to do something extra. Building that relationship is what allowed me to be so comfortable when it came to taking pictures. She listened to exactly what we wanted and executed the timeline perfectly. What bride gets to actually sit back and enjoy champagne the day of? I DID! I was able to soak many moments in because of her organization. Sandy was the first vendor I booked and referred me to what ended up being the best team I could ever ask for. If you want to look through your pictures and relive the moments, hire Sandy!!!

    Perceptions Photography's reply:

    Kelly, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for this kind and thoughtful review. Although it got challenging at times, it helps to have a great team behind you, getting you through.

    I absolutely can not wait to show you the rest of the photos soon!

    Much love best wishes to you and Anthony!

    Flawless Experience

    Sandy is simply amazing. From our initial contact to the very end of our wedding night, she couldn’t do enough for us. She kept to her timeline down to the minute and there wasn’t 1 picture I regretted not taking because she made sure we got them all. She had the most creative and beautiful photo ideas and overall is just the sweetest person you could ever meet. If I could do this all over, I would choose Sandy a million times again.

    Congratulations once again Brittany (and Joe). Your wedding was filled with love all around, making it so easy for us to capture a truly special day. Thank you so much for having us document this great wedding!
