ABOUT VENDOR
Meet Sharma
I am a Miami photographer who loves to capture geeky, creative and offbeat weddings, portraits, and editorial.
I love a good DIY wedding with geek elements, an offbeat affair filled with the couple’s details everywhere. I used to be a computer engineer but I walked away from the cubicle life and became a photographer instead.
My photographic style is a mixed of photojournalistic and classic posing. I will pose you a certain way but will look for those moments in between as well. I will work with you beforehand to plan the perfect session or work to maximize your photo time. No idea is too crazy and if I am required to wear a costume, I would gladly comply!
How does Sharma approach weddings?
I approach wedding photography by leaning into the unconventional, trading generic poses for the vibrant, authentic energy of geeky and creative celebrations. I focus on capturing the intricate, personal details—whether it’s a hand-stitched cosplay element or a subtle nod to a favorite fandom—while documenting the genuine joy of couples who aren't afraid to break tradition. My goal is to produce a visual narrative as unique as the wedding itself, blending technical precision with a playful spirit to ensure every frame reflects the imagination and personality that truly defines the day.
What are some traits of your ideal clients?
My ideal clients are the rule-breakers and the visionaries—couples who see their wedding not as a checklist of traditions, but as a vibrant canvas for their shared passions. They are creative souls who might obsess over the perfect hand-crafted prop, a subtle nod to their favorite lore, or a venue that reflects their specific brand of "geeky." Above all, they value authenticity over perfection; they want a photographer who doesn't just "get" their references but celebrates their uniqueness, trusting me to capture the genuine, unscripted magic of a day that is entirely, unapologetically their own.
What are some of your favorite things?
I love books, gaming and coffee (not Starbucks please). Travel with my husband is were I recharge my creativity. And any day that starts with a good Coffee and an omelette made by my hubby followed by a walk on the beach or park and ending catching up with our favorite shows is a perfect one!
TESTIMONIAL
“Ok, simple summary: Great price, stunning photos, amazing human being!
Sharma did such an amazing job at our wedding. The pictures were so beautiful and authentic. It was an amazing expression of exactly who we are. She was incredibly kind and fun to be around. Always communicated quickly and clearly. And did such an amazing job of making two shy people feel at home in front of the camera. She has a remarkable way of bringing out your true self, shining the best light on that and capturing it.
She was also just so kind and genuine, when I came down with the flu on my wedding day she not only made sure my pictures still looked great but that I got fresh air and water at a moment I started to feel ill.
I can’t recommend her more highly. She is an unbelievable artist and person. I just found her on a website and got so very lucky. If you have any doubts, let them go! You can’t do better than Sharma!” - Molly McCarter
