Great Photography Begins With Trust

My approach is rooted in reliability, calm communication, and an unwavering sense of ease. I believe in being fully present, quietly observing, and intuitively anticipating the moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.

Noticing the moments you’ll want to hold onto forever and creating imagery that still feels alive years from now.

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

For me, photography began as more than a passion, it was a way to hold on to what time couldn’t. I fell in love with film and the feeling of preserving moments I knew I would never get back. Even at a young age, I understood that life is fleeting and that loved ones don’t stay forever. Years later, I cared for a patient who had lost his wife and clung to his wedding album every day because it was all he had left of her. That moment changed everything for me. It reminded me that photographs aren’t just images, they’re proof of love, legacy, and life itself.

I’m a fine art Bay Area wedding photographer who believes your story deserves to be remembered with grace, depth, and authenticity. My work blends sophistication with emotion, capturing connection in a way that feels effortless and timeless. I offer a full-service experience for couples and planners who value precision, ease, and genuine artistry. Every image is edited by my hand, crafted to reflect both the beauty of your day and the feeling within it.

With more than fourteen years of experience, I’ve learned that the best photographs don’t perform — they preserve. They pull you back into the moment, reminding you how it felt to be there. Though I specialize in weddings, elopements, and engagements throughout the Bay Area, Carmel, and Big Sur, I also offer lifestyle, maternity, and family sessions for those who wish to continue documenting their story as it unfolds.

Based in Hollister, California, I serve couples throughout Northern California and beyond. My goal is simple: to create imagery that lasts, that lives on, and that feels as alive decades from now as it did the day it was captured.

Reviews

“Let me just begin this by saying, Sherri is the MAGIC! When my husband and I decided to elope I had a few vendors that I just HAD to have for our day and Sherri was at the top of the list.

There are a lot of things that go into choosing a wedding photographer--- of course many of those have to do with aesthetic, cost..etc. But what should also be on the list is point of view, personality, & ability to innovate and pivot when conditions call for it. And let me say, Sherri does all that and goes above & beyond. She is a true artist and professional. She is able to seamlessly balance the creative aspects of photography with the necessary organization on a wedding day. Our day lacked a lot of structure when I first started to work with Sherri and she was there to assist in helping me create shots lists, timelines, and allowed me to be able to carve out little moments of the day that I wanted to have captured. She is not only capable in that regard but she is also the sweetest and most pleasant photographer to work with. At weddings there are always family members who aren't thrilled to have their photo taken or children who don't have the patience to stand still for too long and Sherri is able to make everyone feel comfortable and is able to cycle through the shot list efficiently so the day can progress. She helped me stay on track with photos I wanted to capture as well as checked-in with me throughout the day just to see how I was doing--SO sweet and helpful! After the wedding she sent me sneak peeks of our photos incredibly fast and delivered our entire gallery lightning fast as well. She is the entire package and I am so thrilled that we chose her to capture our day. Not just because of the photos but because of her entire professional demeanor she made our day that much more special. Thank you, Sherri!”

“I loved having Sherri as our wedding photographer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best!

She delivered the dreamiest photos that not only blew our minds away but everyone who we also shared the gallery with also thought the same! Every time someone asked who our photographer was, I always proudly shared that it was with the most wonderful Sherri LaRocque. It means so much knowing that she captured not only all of the important highlights from the day but also felt like a supportive friend throughout the whole process of wedding planning up until the day of! Even after too! :) She checked in often to see how I was doing, and never failed to be our biggest hype girl when taking our photos! This was big for me because it can be uncomfortable shooting with someone you don’t really know sometimes but she always made us feel like we could be ourselves with no judgments! If I could describe Sherri in three words it would be, professional, creative, and extremely personable! For an affordable price, you get what you pay for and more! I can’t thank her enough for delivering photos that will always make us cry and hopes she knows that she will forever have a special place in our hearts!”

“Sherri is very talented and very sweet! She has been taking pictures of my family and I for many years.

She took our engagement pictures and now takes photos of my daughter and family. We love her and always highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Being from Minnesota, Sherri was a big help in finding the perfect spot for a dream proposal. From the first conversation I had with her, you could tell that she would go above and beyond to make our dream come true.

I couldn’t have made a better selection in a photographer for the proposal! She shared the excitement with us, made us feel comfortable with it being our first time getting professional photos done, and I would recommend her to anyone that asked.”

— Nick & Ashley

“Sherri captured both our engagement photos and wedding day. We are completely obsessed with how they came out and we are so happy to have such beautiful photos to cherish forever!!

During our engagement session she helped us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera and she captured our wedding day so organically, we can’t recommend her enough!!”

Calming.
Authentic approach.

If this resonates with you, I would love to hear from you.
