Reviews of Sharalee Prang Photography (Photo Studio)

Abigail Patrick

How do you write a review for a photographer who deserves a 10 star review when your only option is 5 stars? I have an infinite amount of positive things to say about this incredible talented woman, so I will try to limit it here to the things most couple and/or brides might want to know when selecting a photographer. 1. Package selection - we selected a wedding package that included a FREE engagement shoot & the digital copies of the photos to go with it. It included a full day of shooting on the wedding day (she was up early to shoot the getting ready shots, and with us late into the evening for the dancing and late night snack). We had our wedding in Squamish, BC and she travelled there the evening before to scope out the best spots for first looks and we covered her hotel stay for 2 nights as it was a travel wedding. She was so accommodating, and incredibly generous with her time. She went above and beyond what we expected her to do. She put together a beautiful slide show for us as a preview of the wedding photos, and gave us access to the digital copies of the photos on her website until the images were delivered to our door, packaged in the absolute cutest way that really shows off her style and personality. She offers her package pricing once you contact her as each couple or wedding is unique, and it absolutely worth inquiring about! There were a few different package options, all which were completely reasonable / affordable, and 100% worth it. I highly recommend the full day wedding package, it is so worth it to not have to rush through the photos, and to get the engagement shoot along with so you can get to know each other. 2. Comfortability & Personality - I can’t tell you how important it is to feel comfortable around your photographer when you spend practically the entire wedding day with them. They help you capture some of the happiest and most memorable times of your life, and you need someone like Sharalee who can make you feel like you can be yourselves. She does this by just talking to you, asking about you, telling jokes, and capturing the in between moments as those conversations occur. She guides you seamlessly through the portrait shots, and for the rest of the day, it is as if she is a professional ninja, who captures every perfect moment without even knowing she was there. Sharalee is so easy going and one of the most kind hearted people I know. She made it so easy to be ourselves and laugh together. She is inquisitive and attentive, and you can tell she listens and watches to anticipate how you are feeling, and does everything she can to make you feel at ease. Her witty sense of humor and quirkiness allowed us to have fun and be silly like we always are. 3. Quality - We are all our own worst critics, and I am not the exception. I am hyper critical of how I look in photos especially, but when we received the photos from her, I was in tears. The happiest tears, because I LOVED every single shot she captured. She helped me feel confident and beautiful on the day, and for the rest of my life as I look back through those photos. I cannot thank her enough. And not only did she make Christopher & I feel comfortable, I could see how inclusive she was of my family & friends, and she was able to capture all of them as if it was a story of the entire day. She gifted us the opportunity of experiencing the moments between friends & family that we would have otherwise missed. Which was one of the things we initially talked about in our first Skype call to discuss our vision, and she executed perfectly. She does so much more than wedding photography as well. It is hard to find someone who excels in as many areas of photography as she does. She is 11/10 amazing all around. Ya’ll need to hire this gal. Plain and simple. And if you made it through reading this whole review and I have not yet convinced you, then we need to chat, and I will happily gush some more! Cheers!

Over the years I have seen Sharalee’s beautiful family and wedding photography posted on my friends’ social media sites. Therefore, when our second son was born a few weeks ago, I knew Sharalee was the one I wanted to take photos of our family and newborn. As expected, she did a wonderful job making us feel completely comfortable during the shoot, engaging with our active four-year-old, and capturing some adorable photos of our newest addition. She was also very quick to provide us with our online gallery where we received a large and varied assortment of photos. We are thrilled with her beautiful work and would highly recommend Sharalee as your next family or newborn photographer!

We had the best experience with Sharalee as our wedding photographer. She works so hard to understand who you are and as a result captures moments that are honest, candid, and filled with love. Working with her was like collaborating with a close friend and we instantly felt like we'd known her for years — a sentiment our families and friends all echoed after our wedding. She went above and beyond with warm personal touches, flexibility to our needs, and eagerness to learn the customs involved in our Sikh wedding ceremony. We just got back all our photos and I'm blown away. I can't recommend Sharalee enough!

We lucked out and booked Sharalee early on for our wedding in 2010, and I can't tell you how much we adore our photos from that day. Since then we've locked her in for family and newborn sessions, and she never fails to blow my expectations out of the water! As a photographer her way of being puts you at ease, and as an artist...her eye for capturing the most precious moments in the most precious way is amazing. I'm a graphic designer and work with a lot of photographs day to day - sharalee's are special. DO IT.

Sharalee was such an amazing person to be with for both our engagement and wedding photos! My husband does not like to get his photo taken at all (and doesn’t love to smile lol) but Sharalee was so good with him and totally opened him up! I’ve never seen him smile in so many photos before! For me, on my wedding day she was like my fairy god mother. She was holding all of my things, making sure I drank water and ate, did any pictures we asked of her, mingled SO WELL with everyone, and got the most amazing shots!! She is fun, energetic, hilarious, and so kind! Anyways, she’s amazing you have to get her to do any photos for you because if not - you’re missing out.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Sharalee work her magic and capture our wedding day this past June! Not only did she surpass our expectations with her photography, she was also great to deal with the months leading up to our wedding. Always prompt to respond to any questions, and always had recommendations/suggestions if we were unsure about anything. Her calm, helpful, and easy going presence was exactly what we needed on our wedding day!
