Sherry Pickerell's passion for her photography shows in her work. She creates images of her clients' treasured moments that reflect the love, intimacy and individual beauty of each. But just as importantly, she does this without being intrusive, quietly observing until the right moment presents itself. Then she captures images that become lasting memories to share with generations to come. Sherry's friendly, easy-going demeanor puts everyone at ease, an important trait in a wedding photographer. Her style blends photojournalistic candids with posed formals, assuring that the most important people and the most important moments of your special day are captured in photographs that you will enjoy every time you view them.

The success of your wedding photography depends on the melding together of two seemingly diverse abilities: technical skills and creative intuitions. The photographer has to employ both sides of the brain! The degree to which this succeeds can be likened to the success of an architect. A building must stand, but if it stands beautifully, ah, then we really have something! Toni Robertson was an artist first and that is clear in her work. She brings to her photographs the passion, sensitivity and eye of a truly creative mind. Her desire to afford her artistic sensibilities concrete expression led her to the camera and she has been equally successful in mastering the technical requirements of her career. Perhaps most importantly, she truly loves her work and feels honored to be the photographer on what may be the most important day ever: the wedding day. Toni is a "people" person and a quick look at her work in the area of children's photography (www.smallfryphoto.com) bears this truth. She knows how to get the most out of a person in a very gentle and unobtrusive manner. Toni is located in Mattituck, center of the North Fork, and can easily meet you in either the Hamptons or Wine Country!

She is the owner and principal photographer for Vivid Visions Photo-Graphics, a wedding photography studio serving the North Fork, Hamptons and all of Suffolk County.
