Shelby is one of a kind. She made us feel at ease during our engagement session and had us laughing the whole time. Fast forward to the wedding day, I think our wedding party kept ...
her laughing the entire time and she fit right in. Not only did she continue to make everything fun and rolled with all the crazy ideas we threw at her, she kept us moving and on time and got all the pictures (and more I’m sure) that we could have asked for. Our sneak peak had me in tears and truly felt like we were reliving the day. Shelby is such a genuine human and a true professional when it comes to photography and worked so well with all our vendors. We consider Shelby a friend and cannot wait to use her for all our life events in the future.

eaks for itself- it is STUNNING! She is incredibly sweet, and makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. I thoroughly enjoyed Shelby’s saucy eyebrow wiggles throughout the day! She is truly the best!

her assistant. Anyone who is a part of the wedding or attending can see the passion Shelby has for wedding photography. She is genuine, fun, bubbly, and personable. After meeting Shelby, you will leave feeling like you have known her for years even if you have just met her. She made our wedding day more than we could have ever imagined.

for the wedding day and what her role would look like, listing a potential timeline. We kept in communication leading up the big day, and she arrived early and prepared! It took about two months to receive the pictures, but we did receive some sneak peaks along the way :). We have SO MANY AMAZING PICTURES that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I would highly recommend Shelby! She also included a sweet package of surprise gifts when she mailed the drive of photos.

enal! Her finished products have given us incredible memories that we can look back on forever. Our wedding party and family members enjoyed working with her and commented on how awesome she was on the day of the wedding! 10/10 recommend Shelby for any type of wedding or family photography needs!
From the first time I met with Shebly, she was so easy to connect with! I knew right away that she was who I wanted as our wedding photographer. With being an out of town bride, sh...
e made the process so easy. The day of the wedding, Shelby and her second shooter were fun to have around and seemed like they were everywhere, taking pictures of everyone! I love our photographs and am so happy we had her as our photographer!

From the day I saw Shelby’s pictures on her website I knew immediately I wanted her to photograph my wedding. From the first time I met with her she made me feel very comfortable, ...
like I was talking to a long lost best friend. I loved how organized and how planned out she was to make sure I got every shot that I wanted. She captured my day in the most beautiful way and captured faces and memories that I will keep for a lifetime. She not only worked great with my family and the wedding party but was amazing capturing pictures with the kiddos. Because, come on if you have kids you know the challenge that can be. I would choose her a thousand times again and again. Very very empressed with her work!!
From a grooms perspective, I really didn't have a clue why photographers were so expensive, or why my wife was so worried about getting the right one. After the wedding, I can tell...
you that they are 100% worth the money and having a good one can make or break a wedding. We really enjoyed Shelby's personality and that is only upstaged by the phenomenal photos we have from the wedding.
Shelby is hands down the most remarkable photographer. She not only filled our day with light, fun positivity- but she also made sure our timeline flowed smoothly even when the hai...
r took longer than expected. She never made me stress out, just behind the scenes took care of other areas while we finished up. She commands a crowd which is 100% necessary in getting those family shots completed in a timely manner, but everybody thought she was hilarious and sweet- not rude. I have been to several weddings where the photographers were jerks and it can really but a damper on the overall feel of the day. Additionally, her photos speak for themselves. I get countless compliments on them and those are the only thing (besides video) that I have to remember the day. I cannot dig her praises enough!!!
Shelby shot our wedding photos and did an absolutely amazing job capturing our special moments. I did not want to spend too much time taking posed photos so she made sure to get th...
e poses we wanted and then moved on to the reception. She got great shots of our guests and the big moments like cake cutting and bouquet toss. She made sure to check with us about any other pictures we may want. When we had our first baby I knew right away that I’d love to have her shoot our newborn photos. We drove 3 hours to her studio and it was well worth it. She was able to keep the baby calm and happy the entire time and Mom and Dad got to take a break. The photos were the most adorable pictures ever! Again she made sure to ask if there was anything else that we wanted that she may not have thought of. She is a great photographer and I will use her over and over again!!!
She really knows what she is doing! We had her do our wedding photos and they came out amazing. So naturally we had he do are new born pictures too. I’m more then happy with qu...
