Shanell Photography

be for our wedding photos and they turned out amazing. She made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the day. She asked for feedback on the types of poses and shots we liked from our engagement shoot to recreate for our wedding day photos. She helped outline our wedding day timeline and made sure it was executed as closely to that as possible! Our photos are absolutely beautiful and are already hanging up in our home. We will cherish them for the rest of our lives!

during our engagement session and on our wedding day. We couldn’t be happier with our photos. I highly recommend Shanell as a photographer, you will not be disappointed.

rk with, and beyond amazing at capturing moments on our wedding day and our engagement session! I would HIGHLY recommend her! I plan to hire her in the future. Truly I cannot say enough, Shanell is the best!

on track with time thanks to her. She is the one vendor we always felt 100% confident in! I truly can’t say enough great things about her. She made us feel comfortable and took all the stress off of us on wedding day. Her work is stunning! We love our sneak peaks and can’t wait to see the rest of our pictures :) I highly recommend her to anyone - she is worth every penny :)

ng for: light, bright, fresh, and timeless photos! We cannot stop looking at the photos she took and her incredible work! We will definitely be hiring her again to shoot more photos of us and our families! Not only is Shanell professional, but she is fun to work with! We gave her a pretty tight timeline and she nailed it. She kept us on track and we felt very comfortable around her. Shanell was our favorite vendor! Thank you, Shanell!

er think we could have wedding photos taken that look like something out of a magazine...until we received out wedding albums from Shanell! Every single photo was truly a piece of fine art. On top of her being incredibly talented, working with her was one of the most pleasurable experiences we had when working with vendors for our October '21 Wedding. Shanell genuinely took the time to get to know us throughout the wedding planning process. She was so accommodating, and beyond willing to help us when we had any questions (and we had lots). Her communication is outstanding, and professionalism is admirable, yet she's personable to the point where we felt like friends before we even met in person. Shanell is so knowledgable beyond just taking and editing phenomenal photographs. She truly cares about all of her couples and ensures not a moment is missed on film. Investing in Shanell Photography was one of the best decisions we've ever made!

a flash and they turned out amazing. I loved that she came prepared with knowledge of the site to give us a few locations for different sets of photos and even asked for our input in case we had our heart set on something. The images we received are so timeless, with such attention to detail we were just blown away. You can not go wrong with Shanell, her professionalism, timeless and classic ascetic and attention to detail we’re all above and beyond our expectations. If we had to do it all again, we would pick a date around her schedule!

made what is normally an awkward experience actually fun. When we got our photographs back, we were even more amazed. Not only is Shanell reliable and professional, but also so creative and talented. She has such an eye for what is going to look amazing in photographs. On the wedding day, Shanell went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect for us. She was truly the one vendor we felt 100% confident in. We had a few hick ups and she was the first one there to come up with solutions. Our wedding photographs turned out perfect, timeless and airy, just like we wanted. I cannot recommend Shanell Photography enough!

nds beauty in the details and works her way up to truly tell a story while capturing the spirit and emotion surrounding your wedding and engagement. Shanell and her team were an absolute dream to work with! She knew exactly what to do and took all the stress off of our shoulders on our wedding day. Our photos are absolutely stunning and are exactly the airy and fine art elegance we wanted. Her photographs are something we will truly cherish forever!​

er photography talent is her leadership & communication on our wedding day that makes her such a valuable vendor. She’s quick to make decisions, help in any way, and adjust anyone to make for the most gorgeous photo op. She had such a caring, lighthearted, and hilarious attitude which made her a joy to be around all day. We will treasure her work & services forever!

She has been so flexible with everything going on and has checked in to make sure we were holding up okay. I would recommend her to ever my single person!

ail is unmatched and we were so happy with how our photos turned out.

communicate with, makes you feel comfortable right away, and is so professional! She also took control of my timeline for the wedding day and I couldn’t be more thankful for that. Trust me, you want someone to take the lead and keep things organized for you. It’s also important to find someone you connect with, and Shanell felt like that person from the first time we spoke. Her photos are so light, airy, and effortless. A dream vendor to work with. I plan on using her to capture many more moments for us in the future!

hanell's photography knows it's no secret this girl is TALENTED. But not only is she talented, she is truly truly kind. I can't thank you enough for dealing with me, I'm not easy (aka mrs. high stress panic!!) I learned first hand wedding days are perfectly imperfect (chicken 😑), and having a photographer who not only knows how to handle the craziness but keeps things moving when it may not go as planned is HUGE. Thank you for answering my million questions/phone calls/emails, giving your expert advice(which is worth the $$ alone), and respecting what I envisioned for my special. If there is one thing I wouldn't change about my wedding day it would be my photographer, until you are there experiencing it all you really don't realize how BIG of a role they play in your day. My best advice for a new bride would be book Shanell, you will be so happy you did!! I will forever cherish my photos and I get the biggest smile on my face everytime I walk into my living room and see your beautiful work! Keep killing it girl! 💪💪💪🥰

ng day. I have a family history of lost wedding photos/never receiving photos so I was very excited to hear the ways she makes sure you receive your photos efficiently and has her photos backed up throughout the day. She uses film and digital which results in so many wonderful photos. She is so natural behind the camera and knows the ins and outs of weddings. Beyond doing her job as a photographer she went above and beyond to helped me figure out a timeline, decide earrings day of, place on my veil, and helped organize my large wedding party. Her assistant also did a fabulous job. If you are looking for a photographer stop your search here :]

the best- that's apparent from her work. What really makes Shanell special in my opinion is her unbelievable personality. She is the kind of person everyone needs on their wedding day - calm, sincere, and patient. Our friends and family could not stop complimenting her professionalism and sense of humor. The wedding gallery she created was beautiful but I really cannot stress enough how much more she gave us. We feel so lucky to have had such an amazing person AND photographer capture our day.

gazine! I love them all! Her photos have provided us with a lifetime of amazing memories that we will always cherish! Highly, highly recommend!

VER! Our wedding day memories are breathtaking all thanks to her!

as so great to work with! She really goes above and beyond and makes you feel like you’re her only client. She has years of experience in this field, and it truly shows! Not only does she capture the moments perfectly, but she runs the show! We had a large bridal party and she did an amazing job at keeping everyone on task (which is very hard!) and getting done what needed to be done in a timely manner. We got our photos back and they are STUNNING! Your wedding photographer search ends here, ladies and gentlemen! No need to keep searching for other photographers, because Shanell is your girl!

n my dress, fixing my hair, etc. She did so many things outside of the realm of photography and probably would've been lost without her on our wedding day. She definitely takes charge especially during family photos to make sure we got everything done, and she always wants the best for the bride and groom. She kept us on schedule, which made us super happy. We also did engagement photos with her and I did a boudoir shoot with her as well, and all of our photos have turned out amazing. I cannot wait to get our wedding photos back! She gave us a sneak peek photo the next day! Shanell is very nice, super easy to get a long with but also professional and is knowledgeable in her field. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone! My photographer was the most important detail for me, and I spent months looking for the right one and I am very happy I went with Shanell!

ographer for all of the right reasons- because she loves what she does. I was very close to cutting out our first look for circumstances I didn’t think I could control- even though the first look was the part of our day I was most excited about. Shanell took the time to call me and problem solve the first look details to ensure the first look happened- and it was perfect! I highly, highly recommend her!

er and her product. Our photos turned out amazing (especially since it was a hot 90 degree day!). Shanell was professional, patient, and so organized. Our photos came back fast as well. She captured our day perfectly!

ight and fun atmosphere during the shoot. She easily navigated photographing my mum, who doesn't speak any English and was overall a pleasure to deal with. More importantly, she is film and digital photographer, which is what I was looking for and she return photos to us super quickly. Loved working with Shanell and will recommend her to everybody.

er great sense of humor she was able to capture true and natural pictures. She made our special day so stress free. As a bride, I had no worries. Looking through our wedding pictures she captured every aspect of our day, leaving no details out. We will cherish these photos forever, and cannot wait to get them on our wall! Shanell was a pleasure to work with, and we look forward to using her in the future !

ery professional. She was literally THE ONLY vendor on the day of our wedding I could actually count on. My husband and I consider her a real friend now, more than just our photographer. Although, I am super excited for her to capture all of our future family events, like maternity and newborn photos! We had two engagement sessions with her and it can be nerve racking at first, when you aren't a model and you have someone you don't know that well capturing the love you and your partner share with one another. But within a matter of minutes she made of both feel so comfortable and relaxed. It ended up being a ton of fun! And when we got the pictures back (in such a timely fashion), she made us LOOK like models. It was everything I had dreamt. Our second engagement session was in the FREEZING cold (literally, like -2 degrees outside) and she was such an amazing sport! She kept us laughing and having fun and those photos turned out EVEN better than the first session (which I didn't think was possible). Bottom line, she is worth EVERY penny of your wedding budget and you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't hire her.

ng photograoher was our number one priority throughout the entire wedding planning process. We met with a number of different photographers but ultimately chose Shanell because of her sweet demeanor, phenomenal planning skills, and GORGEOUS natural and organic portfolio. The day of our wedding was less than ideal for photos. It was the first cold weekend of fall with full on winds. The lighting outside was overcast which made the lighting in the church even darker. I truly wish I could show whoever is reading this review just how beautiful our photos turned out. Shanell was one of the best parts of our whole wedding experience. She kept our wonderful but wild bridal party in line and captured the most fun and beautiful moments of the day. When my MOHs forget their bouquets at the church, Shanell saved the day and made two from the other girls bouquets. I could gush forever. We love our photos and will cherish them for all of our days. Just book her, I promise you won’t regret it.

I are not the greatest with taking pictures and Shanell did a fabulous job to place us in certain poses and get the proper lighting. She really made our engagement photo day and our wedding day perfect.

day. I am so happy we chose Shanell to capture our day because our pictures will last a lifetime. In addition to her art, her personality is well suited for the business. She helps to keep your wedding day on track and acts almost like a wedding planner. I love that she called to make a timeline for our day- it was something I never thought to do. Shanell, thank you for making our day so special!

with amazing ideas. I have no doubt that our pictures will be incredible. She is also a sweet and caring person and I would love to use her for future things!! You won’t regret booking her.

ement photos done on a FREEZING cold yet beautiful snowy winter day and not only did she capture the most amazing photos but she was super fun & cheerful as she was outside freezing right along with us!! :) On our wedding day, Shanell and her assistant were so kind, genuine and easy-going and I know all of our photos will be absolutely stunning! Shanell shoots both film and digital and the warmth and softness in her film shots is exceptional! :) I am very grateful to be a SP Bride!!! Not only is Shanell beyond talented, but she and I also share a love for shoes, so clearly it was meant-to-be! She is a dream to work with! :)

our engagement shoot, which was so much fun (I remember my face hurting from laughing so much the next day) and really gave us the chance to get to know her and for her to get to know our personalities as well. Our engagement and wedding pictures are more than I could have ever imagined. She shoots digital and film which gives the photos such a soft look and romantic feel. This captured our day so perfectly. Shanell is so down to earth, funny, and personable. Shanell had several phone meetings with me to go over our day of timeline and honestly, she made sure the day ran perfectly (it was like having another day of coordinator which was so helpful!). I would highly recommend her to any friend or family member to shoot an engagement, wedding boudoir, or family session. She is simply a dream to work with.

s spectacular. Looking through the photos of our wedding day is just like reliving it. She helped us with our timeline, understanding the lighting needs for a winter wedding. She trekked through snow drifts to get those perfect photos. She made sure I got all the shots I wanted, and so many more details. She was fun, positive, calm, and yet assertive in ensuring we got the very best photography. We absolutely loved working with her. Do not hesitate to book Shanell for your wedding. She is truly one of the BEST!

ecision having her as my photographer! She makes the day run smoothly and was constantly checking in on me (the bride) to make sure everything was good and if I needed anything. She will make a custom timeline and has great insight and suggestions on places to go, outfits, poses, etc. Not to mention her photos are timeless, classic, romantic and will last a lifetime! I am so happy with our wedding photos and I can't wait to work with her again!

niques and lighting measurements. We had two shooters and both had multiple cameras with dual memory cards for protecting your photos. We have had friends with nightmares of the photographers losing pictures because they don't take it as serious. Do your research! She is very accommodating and is very good at getting you to naturally produce those feelings she wants to convey in photos. She is easy going and even went above and beyond for us in a few instances because she wanted us to be happy. Thank you Shanell!

details. Her photography style says it all!!

ur day was absolutely perfect. Not only was she incredibly organized but she is an absolute ball to be around. She had to deal our rambunctious bridal party and was an absolute champ, even landing rightful punches back - haha! I just will never be able to thank Shanell enough for her time, energy and being just as excited about our day as we were. I will recommend Shanell a thousand times over, you will not be in the least bit disappointed. Thank you SO much, Shanell, you are an absolute superstar and amazing talent!

I was pleased with all my pictures. I fell in love with her portfolio and had to book her for my engagement/wedding pictures. She met with me in person to answer my questions. She was flexible and always available - whether it was through e-mail or phone. On the day of my engagement pictures, it rained and she was super flexible and understanding with rescheduling it and my engagement pictures turned out amazing. She made us feel so comfortable and truly captured our personalities. Prior to my wedding, we discussed over the phone the details of the day to ensure a smooth day. When I got my wedding pictures, I was shocked how timely I got everything. She captured every moment perfectly - from getting ready to the ceremony to the reception. Shanell captured pictures of me holding my father and friends without me even knowing it - When I saw the pictures, I was touched. She truly has an eye for detail and lighting. Words cannot simply describe how truly wonderful she is. Thank you Shanell!
