Sean has been a part of our family since I was a child which made having him photograph our wedding so special. We knew that Sean would do an amazing job because he is such an amazing person. He genuinely cares about others and demonstrates that in his words and actions. This translates into his photos. Andrew and I are so pleased with how Sean captured the joy we felt and our love for each other. Sean took advantage of the beautiful day we were blessed with and artistically incorporated the views of the James River and Richmond skyline. His friendly personality and confidence helped to get great photos with our family and friends. Sean is generous in every way and thinks of others over himself; he was able to deliver images that will bring us back to our wedding day for years to come. You have been a blessing to my family! Thank you Sean for being a special person in our lives!

Sean Means

Owner

Choosing a wedding photographer is a big deal, mostly because you’re inviting someone to hang out with your absolute favorite people on one of the biggest days of your life. So, here is the quick version of who I am: I’m an Atlanta native turned Pittsburgh local. I’m a pretty low-maintenance guy who values experiences over stuff, loves giving back, and values family above everything (my parents are my straight-up heroes). My road trips are fueled by local BBQ and Buc-ee's, my playlist jumps from OutKast to film scores, and my ultimate bucket-list dream is caddying for my dad at Augusta. On my days off, you’ll probably find me taking a nap. Seriously, my bed is the most expensive thing I’ve ever bought and I have zero regrets. I laugh a lot—mostly at my own jokes—and I don’t sweat the small stuff. If the wedding timeline shifts or the weather goes crazy, I don’t panic. I bring a sense of calm to the day because you deserve to actually enjoy it. Hopefully, when we meet, it feels less like hiring a vendor and more like hanging out with someone you’ve known for a while. (And yeah, if karaoke happens, I’m definitely singing Lionel Richie. No guarantees it’ll be good, though.)

Highlighted review.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Portraits by Sean was truly a blessing from the Lord for our wedding. Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day...

with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a storytelling artist. He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones. His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber. We thank God for him and will cherish these memories forever. Highly, highly recommend!

Michaela and I got married on September 6, 2026 at The Madison in Cleveland, and booking Sean was one of the best decisions we made. Before the big day, Sean checked in with sever...

al times, making sure our vision would come to life. His attention to detail during these touch points was so appreciated. He did a great job of condensing the things that both my wife and I wanted. On the day itself, Sean was calm, professional, and genuinely easy to be around. He had a way of making us feel comfortable, so nothing felt stiff or overly posed. He kept things moving without ever making us feel rushed, and he seemed to be everywhere at once. Our guests loved him too! He went out of his way to make sure we got every family photo we wanted, which took a LOT of stress off of us. Family photos can get chaotic, and he handled it like a pro. When we got the gallery, we were blown away. The first look, the toasts, the sunset photos, the dance floor, he nailed every single one. The editing is perfect, but what really got us is that the photos tell the story of our day from start to finish. He caught moments we didn't even know happened, and we've already gone through the whole gallery more times than we can count. If you're looking for a photographer, book Sean. You won't regret it. Thank you, Sean, for giving us memories we'll have forever!

Sabrina A

Sean and his associates (we had Joe and Brandon) made our wedding day even better than I thought! His team was thoughtful, brought up great ideas even up till the day of and really...

gave me 1 less worry as a bride. They ran through the snow, dealt with the crazy family, and made it feel like they were part of the wedding not just there. We had compliments all day for how attentive and proffessional they were from distant family to and definitely from immediate. I notice they didnt just take the pictures they made SURE they got a good one before moving the spot. We got them back in record time and it capurtured the day so well I cried relooking. For how quick the day went I am beyond thankful I trusted them to capture these moments forever.

Sean gave us an incredible experience with stunning results. He was punctual, professional, and gave very clear instructions for his shoots. He also was very excited to be a part o...

f the process and involved in our special day. When it came time for the ceremony and reception, he was sure to stay out of the spotlight and took incredible pictures without us having to remember that he was there. 10/10 experience and 10/10 quality on the final photo results. We would highly recommend him for any event you may have coming up!

Sarah D

Sean was the first vendor we hired for our wedding and that was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! He is not only a fantastic photographer but also a wonderful...

person. Sometimes you meet someone doing a job and you can just tell they’re doing what they’re meant to be doing on this earth. Sean just gets it; photography, absolutely, but also the human connection. His ability to connect with people he’s never met and to capture a million little, but important, moments with our family and friends on our wedding day was truly remarkable. The photos show his talent and our joy. They captured not just how our day looked, but how it felt. We will treasure them always, we are beyond grateful, and we would recommend Sean to anyone without hesitation!

Carmen G

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Sean from Portraits by Sean! Our wedding was small, intimate, and romantic, and he captured it beautifully. Sean has a true ...

gift for working with all ages—he made everyone feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He also has an incredible eye for detail and knows exactly how to guide the crowd to get the best shots without ever feeling rushed or posed. Every photo perfectly reflects the emotion and joy of the day. Sean’s professionalism and calm presence made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. We’ll treasure these photos forever!

Portraits By Sean was an excellent choice for our wedding photography. From the very first conversation, they were professional and responsive in guiding us through the process. On...

the big day, Matt was our photographer through an Associate's Package - he was friendly, communicative and put us at ease. Choosing your photographer is so important because you spend an entire, normally stressful, day with them and Matt was a wonderful, helpful presence the entire time. The quality of their work was exceptional, with beautiful, high-quality images that captured all the special moments of our celebration. Sean went the extra mile by editing some minor details to make sure everybody looked their best in the important family shots. The reasonable cost for their services made them an excellent value. We are thrilled with the memories they helped us preserve from our wedding day!

Sandra H

We hired Portraits by Sean as a photographer for my daughter’s wedding. We loved working with him and were blown away by the results! Sean was very communicative and responsive. ...

He sent the contracts on time, answered any questions we had, and was all around very organized. On the other hand, he was never overwhelming and had an easygoing attitude that put all of us at ease. If you’ve ever planned a wedding, you know that’s priceless! On the day of the event, he was flexible but effective. He worked in tough conditions with really bright natural light and a small space. He stayed busy the entire time but never felt in the way. He and his team are absolutely seamless. Lastly, the photos are gorgeous. You would never know the challenges he had by looking at the final pictures. They are bright, warm, natural, flattering, and beautiful!!! We are so grateful for Sean and his team. They were a pleasure to work with and we will treasure their work forever!

J H

We hired Sean for my sister’s wedding. We were FLOORED by his talent, professionalism, and kindness. - Sean was easy and pleasant to work with. He is a clear communicator and was ...

always professional, but also warm and friendly. - Sean goes above and beyond. He managed delicate family dynamics with grace, made people feel at-ease, and was a relaxing presence on a stressful day.. When plans changed at the last minute, he adapted seamlessly. - Sean’s pictures are incredible. They dont just document the event, they bring memories to life. It is SO special to have so many moments immortalized in pictures. His eye for detail is amazing and he thinks like an artist. We can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Sean and his team. He’ll be our family photographer for life. We look forward to sharing many special moments with him in the future and remembering special days through his work.

Itzel H

We can’t say enough good things about Sean or the Portraits by Sean team. He photographed our wedding and we are OVER THE MOON with the video and photographs Sean gave us. Sean h...

as an INCREDIBLE eye. He notices special details and touches that seem small in the moment but actually make a huge difference in how photos turn out. He’s efficient and doesn’t ever get in the way of the event or the flow of the day, but at the same time it seems like he captures everything everywhere. I don’t know how he does it. He also knows how to take control when he needs to. We had family who constantly got in his way when he was taking family photos (lol-SORRY, Sean!) and he managed it so gracefully. He was able to kindly let them have a moment, but then stepped in and re-routed to the official photo shoot. We had a million photographs with a complicated family, but he and his team were so efficient that our group photos went by in a flash. Sean was also great to work with before the wedding. I told my husband it was the only part of the wedding that never felt stressful or demanding. As any bride knows, that is a GODSEND. Thanks SO much, Sean!!!

Julia M

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most...

of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Amber S

tos top notch, but he takes the time to get to know the couple he's working with, is kind and friendly, and moves like a ninja with his camera - we were so surprised to see all the gorgeous candid moments he caught because we hardly noticed him moving around throughout the day😅. Over 200 5-star Google reviews speak volumes about his work, so if you want a photographer that is invested in your story and day, Sean is the man for the job

, my fiance, and our vision for the wedding before we even signed a contract. It's clear he's passionate about capturing the memories beyond simply nice photos. We had a unique wedding weekend and Sean worked with us to create a package that made sense for us. Once the weekend came, every single one of our guests told us how great our photographer was! The bridal party loved working with him as much as we did. He was a delight to work with and willing to go with the flow the entire time. I would hire him again without question. We received our photos so promptly after the wedding too and every single one was perfection! He captured our day, the feelings, the people, all beautifully. If you want a stress free photographer experience, with photos that will blow your mind, you must work with Sean!

He was truly amazing with the kids, he had unmatched patience and the best energy. He found the best lighting and positions for every picture and made sure to work with every vision I had. Sean truly went above and beyond and I could not imagine having had anyone else to capture our special day. He was the best photographer I could’ve imagined.

I will leave with this… he has the most kind eyes and makes you feel comfortable the entire time he is at work for you.

Vik B

Working with Sean was a pleasure! I had contacted him with only 10 days left for my surprise proposal and his quick responses and on-point communication really put me at ease. Talk...

Rina H

I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about Sean. From the moment we contacted him, he was professional, warm, and dedicated to creating an amazing experience for his clients...

. I am normally very camera shy, but Sean was so easy to work with that he put me at ease immediately. And as a cherry on top, he sent our photos back within the week! When we were choosing wedding photographers, we wanted someone whose work would transport us back to our wedding day. His photos captured the small, intimate moments that we will treasure most about the happiest day of our lives- the laughs as the wedding party prepared together, the moment my father saw me in my dress for the first time, the roller coaster of emotions as we read our vows to each other, the rowdy dancing at the end of the night. I can look at a picture and remember exactly how I felt at that moment. To Sean, the photographer who captures joy- from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Know that you have created something special that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. It is clear that you take great pride in your work and it was truly wonderful to work with you.

My husband and I contracted Sean Means to photograph our 50th Wedding Anniversary party on July 22, 2023. We could not be more pleased with all that Sean offers as a photographer a...

nd an all around good person. His eye for catching candid photos is excellent which he does in a non intrusive manner. He has a way of taking many photos without being disruptive to the flow of the event. The portrait photos were very well composed, clear and artistic with a special touch of a few black and white photographs. At the end of several hours, Sean had taken over 300 photos, all of which are so good that it would be difficult to choose between them . Within several days, the photos were available to us on line and ready to distribute to our guests. Sean is prompt with communication, very professional and personable.His presence is an asset to the event. He has a potpourri of extensive photographic equipment which combined with his talent and creativity, provides a multitude of beautiful photographs We give Sean our highest recommendation !!!
