It s so nice to meet you.
MEET SHIRI
My path to photography wasn't traditional, but looking back, every step led me right here. I learned early on how much I love connecting with people. My desire to serve originally led me to earn my bachelor's degree in law and work with an immigration firm to advocate for families in transition. But over time, God clearly redirected my steps.
After witnessing high-volume wedding agencies treat couples like transaction numbers, promising the world only to deliver poor communication and heartbreak, I knew I had to offer something better. I want my business to make every couple feel deeply seen, valued, and celebrated on one of the most pivotal days of their lives. Doing this work allows me to pursue my passion, serve others with uncompromising integrity, and be fully present for my young son and husband.
As someone who grew up obsessed with fashion and makeup, weddings make me giddy. I love taking that editorial eye and pairing it with fun, active direction so you feel completely confident, stunning, and downright hot in front of the lens. But beyond the gorgeous aesthetics, I care deeply about the legacy of your day. Photos are return tickets to moments past. A precious, tangible way to hold onto your life as it happens.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me laughing through an Adam Sandler movie (Grown Ups is my ultimate comfort watch), hanging out with my husband (who I re-met and fell in love with two years after three first dates!), or hanging with our Craigslist dog, who is uniquely terrified of toddlers.
Whether we’re planning your timeline, navigating high-energy group portraits, or capturing quiet moments just for the two of you, I'm here to bring a calm, intentional, and joyful presence to your wedding day.
I can't wait to meet you!
With love,
My Photography EthosMy approach is classic, thoughtful, and personal. I want you to feel comfortable in front of my camera, cared for throughout the process, and genuinely excited to look through your photographs years from now.
I want your photographs to feel like you.
Timeless enough to look beautiful years from now. Honest enough to bring you right back. Thoughtful enough to remind you of not only what your day looked like, but who you were surrounded by and how deeply you loved.

WHY MA CHERIE PHOTO?Ma Cherie Photo — for my darling moments.
Shiri is my name.
Cherie is the French-inspired counterpart — bringing to mind chérie, meaning “darling,” and ma chérie, meaning “my darling.”
So Ma Cherie Photo is, in a way, a little love letter to the people and moments I photograph.
Because that's what photography has always been for me: holding onto the people, places, and memories that mean the most.
These aren't just photographs.
They're the people you love.
The places you've been.
The little moments you never want to forget.
And that's what I want to give you.
Your story, beautifully remembered.
