We booked Sherri about a year in advance back when she first started out doing weddings. We live in Florida and were getting married in the Cincy area. We found Sherri on theknot.com and set up a meeting for when we were in town. When we call her....SHE answers the phone and knows who it is. Very personable! As soon as we met her we knew that she was the one to shoot our wedding. We loved her photojournalistic approach and her package was BY FAR THE BEST in the Cincinnati area. We also wanted to sub our boudoir shoot for a proper engagement session. She happily did it and shot our engagement session three days before our wedding when we got in town. She showed us her books that makes and other options that were available. The day of the wedding, she showed up with her assistant and they were dressed appropriately and ON TIME. She was actually ahead of schedule on the photos and she suggested other sites to visit to get some pics. She also stayed around for an extra 30 minutes to get the money shot that we wanted. (go figure, one night that smog was in Cincinnati!) She handled our 4 year old flower girl with ease and all of the people trying to sneak pictures in while she was shooting. Very professional! The end result was some of the best pictures that our guests have ever seen. They were up on the web within 4 days (only because she had an out of town shoot that she left for). She allows anyone you give your password to sign in and order and view your photos directly from her website. My wife and I can't say enough about her. We had a great time dealing with her and talk to her anytime we are in Cincinnati. Our sister is even looking to book her when she gets engaged.....WHEN! We loved her one on one time, her package, and her professionalism. She handled all the guests and family members that you don't want to. We highly recommend booking her for your event...wedding, baby, or party. Her style is on the cutting edge along with her equipment and pricing. Thanks Sherri for everything! You will not be disappointed....Tell her Lance sent you! read more

Sherri Barber Photography, what can I say other than how awesome she was? We found out about her through my fiancés brother, who had used her for some awesome studio portraits in the past. The first time we met was at a Pannera near our house (she would have met us anywhere), she brought her laptop and some information packets and let us look through two or three whole weddings that she had shot and she told us about how the day would go photography wise. We probably spent about an hour or more just looking thought the hundreds of photos she shot, and some of the ones that she thought were bad were on the better side for some of the cheaper photographers we looked at. But anyways we took about 3 weeks to make a decision but once we did and made our deposit it was a breeze to schedule our engagement shoot. We met at Spring Grove Cemetery and drove around looking for anything that caught our eye, not to mention that we were trying to find stuff in late November when most of the leaves had fallen and the grass was starting to turn its winter brown hue. We took a bunch of photos; it was like her finger kept clicking away. She would just let us stand there and be as relaxed as possible and every once in a while give us some instruction but she never asked us to do anything unusual or strange. We took a bunch of pictures in 4 places around the cemetery then we moved on to the Krohn Conservatory where we ran in to some trouble after a while of her camera lenses fogging up. Then we went downtown to one of her favorite spots and took some more photos, at the end we were a little tired but still excited to see what our pictures would come out like. It took about two days for her to get the photos posted on-line but what we saw was 500+ great photos. While we have not had our wedding yet our engagement session has made us excited to see what she will be able to do with our wedding. I would definitely recommend Sherri because she is amazing at what she does and her price is more than reasonable for the quality of the pictures. read more

When planning our spring 2014 wedding, my husband and I were in complete agreement to invest in a quality photographer to capture our special day. Once we saw Sherri Barber's work, we didn't look any further! Fortunately, we were able to secure Sherri for our date. After our engagement session with Sherri, my husband and I knew we had the right fit for us! Sherri is extremely talented! She has an amazing eye for color and contrast, not to mention her expertise in lighting and visual effects. As an international boutique photographer, Sherri is continuously working to take her craft to the next level, capturing the next exclusive piece. Sherri was very professional, prompt with responses, and fun to work with. I also found her to be an excellent source of reference for other vendors in the Cincinnati area (very helpful since I planned my wedding from afar)!! Because she cared enough to understand my vision, we quickly established a foundation of trust. I knew I could depend on her to be honest with me and provide solid feedback. What we appreciated most about Sherri is that she connects with each couple uniquely. That chemistry unlocks the ability to capture the essence of each couple. This combined with an eclectic venue equals a "one-of-a-kind" catalogue of YOUR day! We absolutely LOVED our photographs!! Everytime we review them, we can literally feel the emotion of those moments all over again. From beginning to end, she did a FAN-TABULOUS job!! If we were starting the process all over again, we'd choose Sherri a million times over. I would highly recommend her. She is competitively price and she travels!! Good luck to you and happy planning! :-) Check out Sherri's work here: http://sherri-barber.com read more

With all the financial and emotional stress that came with our wedding, and after hearing unfortunate stories of budget photographers, I knew I wanted the best photographer in the area. After calling several photographers in the area and listening to how they initially presented themselves over the phone to potential clients, listening to their marketing and pricing, I decided to meet with a couple. Sherri happened to be our last visit and I questioned her a lot, possibly even being annoying at some point. After listening to Sherri speak about her education in graphic arts, her many years of experience in the area, and seeing some of her photos in her studio, I fought off the urge to say yes on the spot. My wife and I discussed the meeting and about Sherri on our ride home. The price was definitely out of the range that I was initially expecting, but realizing the importance of a really good photographer, we said yes to Sherri. From the contract stuff, through the engagement photos, and the entire wedding, Sherri was professional and fun the entire time. Sherri will tell you to smile even if you think you are. She will put you in poses and places that make great pictures, even if you think they may not. She will make you pause to breath and take great photos to help relax. She will become part of your reception that just fits in and you may not notice she is there till you see your photos. Sherri, and her entire staff, was the best decision for our wedding. Looking back at my question about price, I have no doubt now. Sherri was definitely worth the price and then some and I will definitely be calling her for future picture needs. read more

Sherri is absolutely AMAZING!! My husband and I live in NYC and were planning our Cincinnati wedding remotely. It was blogs like this that helped us find Sherri so I suppose we're paying it forward! :) Aside from gorgeous photography, her personality is what really makes Sherri such a stand out. She is SUPER fun, an exceptionally hard worker, has outstanding attention to detail and is a complete and utter perfectionist... Just the type of person you'd want to capture one of the most important days of your life :). Your photographer is with you 24/7 on your wedding day, and how they interact (or don't interact) with you is really important. She makes the whole awkwardness of being photographed totally go away...she is particularly effective getting guys to shine (including my dad who hates pictures)! On our wedding day, she showed excellent judgment - knew when to step in and direct vs. just capture the moments. She was also super prepared - prior to the big day she planned the whole day/timeline with us and made a checklist of shots we wanted (and of course delivered on all of them). Lastly, the finished product was awesome. My biggest fear was a bunch of cheesy bridal portraits that looked like they were from Glamour Shots ;). She took a good range of shots - some sharp and colorful, some softer, etc. We highly encourage you to reach out to her... one of the best decisions we made! read more

I found Sherri Barber's page through Google search and fell in love with her work!!! I looked around at other photographers but kept coming back to her page. I gave Sherri a call and set up an appointment. Well, she had me at hello, lol. At our meeting my fiancé and I were confident she was perfect for our wedding and booked her on the spot. My fiancé and I are avid skiers and are planning a winter wonderland wedding. When I told Sherri we are having the lighting tech wash the entire venue in cool blue she was excited for the challenge and promised we would not look like Smurfs in our pictures because she brings in her own lighting (like they do in the movies!) Sherri is totally accommodating and up for anything you can think of. We had our engagement session in the snow. Despite the cold we had so much fun with her and all of the pictures came out perfect!! We couldn't decide which ones we liked best so we took all of them. Sherri's work is absolutely amazing, she doesn't take pictures, she captures moments in time and when you look at her work you are instantly taken back to that moment and feel that emotion all over again. I am super psyched to have her shoot our wedding! Thanks you Sherri for being fabulous you!! read more

Plain and simple, book Sherri Barber to shoot your wedding or any other important event. She is fan-friggin'-tastic. I'm not one for having my picture taken to begin with, but my lovely bride dragged me to Sherri's office, and she put me at ease. She is professional and fun. She worked with us to figure out a package within our budget, and it was far better than anything that we had seen up to that point (we had easily visited 15 photographers, prior to meeting her). On the wedding day, she was wonderful. Outside of the formal pics, after the ceremony, I could hardly tell she was there. Despite blending in, she captured the emotion of our day perfectly. The final pictures by-far exceeded our expectations. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment to sit down with her. Your search, like ours, should end there. read more

I had Sherri Barber as my photographer for my wedding in July 2011. She did a fantastic job and the pictures were exactly what I wanted and captured all the candid and special moments that day. Sherri even does a timeline for your wedding day which helped the day come together and made things run so smoothly. Sherri also includes engagement pictures with our wedding package which gave my husband and I the opportunity to get to know her and made things feel so comfortable and like we had known her forever. If you really want to have long lasting memories and cherished pictures for years to come, the obvious choice is Sherri Barber. Sherri was worth every penny and am so glad we chose her for our special day!!!! read more

SB1 Photo is top choice for photography in the Cincinnati, northern Kentucky area. Sherri is not only an amazing photographer but a really fun easygoing person to work with. I was amazed at how flex-able she was during the whole process and her prices were incredible for the quality of photos she took! She not only made Brian and I comfortable through the whole process and day, but our families loved her as well! She was a joy to work with and took such great pictures that captured every moment of the whole day. I was overly impressed with every aspect of SB1 Photography and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for great wedding photos and a photographer. read more

I used Sherri Barber for my wedding on Dec. 31st, 2011. She was AMAZING. Other than hiring her and answering a few questions all the details were left to her and I could not have been happier with her decisions. Every bride knows the stress levels rise the closer the wedding gets and Sherri understands that. Sherri made it as easy and painless as she could. She decided on the locations for the engagement pictures and the wedding pictures. Sherri created the timeline for the day and she handled the groomsmen! She also stayed later than expected to make sure she had our New Year's Eve celebration! I would recommend Sherri Barber over and over again! read more

Sherri and Sarah were simply amazing. Our engagement photos were spectacular and our wedding pictures are even more impressive. This duo is unbelievably talented. Also, you don't need to waste your money on a wedding planner because Sherri and Sarah are organized and keep you on track. Sherri is incredibly dynamic and was able to establish a professional but playful relationship with our entire wedding party. This was the most wonderful day of our lives and thanks to Sherri and Sarah our photos captured all of the emotions, the importance, and grandeur of our day. I would highly recommend Sherri Barber Photography! read more

We hired Sherri for our wedding last September, and couldn't have been happier with the results. From our engagement photos to the photo book that was put together after our wedding, everything was top quality and simply amazing. I had absolutely no complaints with her. If you want a true professional with a fun personality, and most importantly, beautiful (& unique) photos- hire Sherri! I have already referred her (with success) twice and everyone is so grateful. I have no doubts that I will seek her out for any professional photography I will be needing in the future. read more

Sherri is very good at what she does and was very effecient. We would use her again. Our engagement photo session happened on the day of an ice storm and Sherri got us out there, found great spots and was able to do it in a very timely fashion. Even being a guy, she made the session turn out well for me. She is also very fun to work with as she has a great personality and is a lot of fun. I know my Fiance' loved working with her as well We get to use Sherri again for our wedding and I know that she will do a great job. Thanks Sherri! read more

1. One of the first things we did after getting engaged was to book our photographer. And having Sherri was one of the best decisions we made. She was very professional the day of the wedding, and made everyone comfortable(including the groomsmen) for photos. We had a great time with her on our wedding day and we absolutely loved our photos. Two of my bridesmaids loved her so much that they decided to book Sherri for there weddings. Sherri was not only a great photographer and very professional, but I also now consider her my friend! read more

Sherri was by far one of the best decisions we made for our big day. Not only was she taking pictures she was interacting with everyone and made it relaxed and fun. She was very professional and knew what she was doing and what she wanted. I left it all in her hands and I'm glad I did. She was able to keep the bridal party in check in order to get the best pictures and get them done fast. I had full faith in her and cant wait to see the wedding album. read more

Photography to me was the most important aspect of my wedding. I wanted someone who was fun, unique, and the best at what they did. Sherri was all that, and then some! She made the day go smoothly, and captured moments that will forever remind me of how special the day was. I can not say enough how awesome she is, and how great her talent is. Truely the best photographer! read more
