We like her not-to-posed style and we've got some great shots from our wedding. From the get-go Sharyn was extremely friendly and helpful (even helped my wife with her wedding dress). Her prices are reasonable and the framed photos she's prepared for us are lovely. (We're still waiting on our album, due to our procrastination in choosing). If you're getting married in or around Portland, ME. I'd recommend Sharyn Peavey photography.

Just honest, candid shots of a special day. But you never know until the day... We got married outdoors. In Maine. In February. With 24 hours to go they began predicting the worst blizzard of the year (36 inches with 60mph winds). At the last minute we moved the entire wedding forward a day. In the chaos, I only had time to leave a rather incoherent message about the change. To be honest, I half expect her not to make it. I would have understood. But the morning of the wedding, we got a text: "on my way if you still need me." She showed up and immediate got what we were going for. She was easy going and unobtrusive, but more than we ever expected, she still somehow managed to always be in the right place at the right time. She captured those beautiful fleeting moments we felt, but without the photos would never have been able to remember. We can't recommend her highly enough.

They really thought of everything and the cocktail hour, dinner and bar service were just perfect. At one point during the cocktail hour, one of the servers came up to ask me what I wanted to sample and brought me a plate of appetizers - knowing how hard it is for the bride and groom to actually eat on their own wedding day. It was moments like that one that make 111 Maine stand out as one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding.

These have been very tough times for all of us and I think it shows a great deal of insight into the owner's character and moral values.

I paid a $500 session fee, which I understood to include both the photos and her time. However, after the shoot, I learned that the $500 only covered her time to take the photos -- no images were included. I wasn't provided a contract or price list beforehand, even though I asked. She later said she had emailed it but it must not have gone through. The delivery timeline for the photos changed several times, and when I finally received the proofs, the prices were far higher than expected. Packages ranged from about $4,700 (marked down) to $345 for a single photo. When I asked about purchasing just the digital files, I wasn't given a clear answer. The photos themselves were nice, but the overall lack of transparency and communication around pricing and deliverables made this experience frustrating and disappointing. I'd recommend getting everything in writing -- including all pricing and what's included -- before booking.
