Sylvia is a professional that enjoys what she does, charismatic and trustful. You have this feeling from the time you meet her. She knew how to give us instructions and made us feel comfortable with the photos. She also has the service where she posts the pictures in a website where guests can view them, which was really cool. We loved to have her as our photographer in the wedding!
