Recognized For Excellence in Wedding Storytelling

Super stealthy candid photographer capturing those moments you missed.
Will probably dance with you during the reception.
Became an accomplished bartender during college and loves to see what you go choose as signature cocktails.
Has been shooting weddings since age 15, meaning she's calm under pressure and always ready for the unexpected.
A master at reading the room, she knows when you need a quiet moment, a laugh, or a fresh cocktail (she used to be a bartender, after all).

Rhiannon

Lover of light and analog (film) photography.
Drawing on years of experience as a professional newsroom journalist, she has forgotten how to interact with other human beings without a camera in her hands.
She currently serves on the board of the Vermont Association of Wedding Professionals (VAWP).
Likes to say that with Rhiannon she "cloned herself."
Will not leave your wedding without sampling the dessert options.

Joanna

We believe wedding photography is about creating legacies. Operating as a mother-daughter team allows us to see family dynamics from two different, but deeply aligned, perspectives. As award-winning members of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) and proud board members of the Vermont Association of Wedding Professionals (VAWP), our approach is rooted in a masterful balance of unscripted truth and elegant portraiture. We understand the weight of the moments that will matter most fifty years from now.

Our journey began as "Diva Productions." Over time, we realized that name didn't represent the wonderful couples we serve – people who value connection, kindness, and family above all else.

So, we searched for a name that felt authentic to both them and us. Our own family story provided the spark: Joanna lived in the UK for a decade (Rhiannon was born there!), and her husband, Rob, is Welsh. These roots drew us to the lovely British tradition of placing a silver sixpence in the bride's shoe for luck.

"Sixpence Studios" was born from this connection. It's a nod to our family ties, a symbol of the enduring traditions we cherish, and a reflection of our core mission: to capture the start of your family's legacy, creating tangible memories for you and future generations to treasure.
