Shelby Street Studios

es positivity and love. You don’t realize how much time you will spend with your photographer on your wedding day. She makes you feel comfortable, which leads to your pictures looking like your true self! She captured us so beautifully. She is a professional, she knows how a wedding should run and executes everything perfectly. Taking pictures with the family and bridal party was a breeze. Could not recommend Shelby Street more!! The perfect photographer for stunning pictures and a fun, seamless wedding day!

rocess from start to finish reliving any stressors I had. She has so much experience that came through with her tips and assistance with the timeline. Her work is beautiful and captured the day just as I lived it. Some shinning moments working with her is the fact that she made the day so comfortable for us, helping with posing and being our hype woman. It felt like she was a close friend guiding us through the day. Even with minor mishaps she helped us pivot and stay on track. Her all day coverage was amazing something I didn't see offered too much. If she has your date open - BOOK HER. To Rachel - thank you for sharing your talent with us. We cherish your work so much.

nd and I reached out to her, she was responsive and timely. She not only gave us all the information we asked for but wanted to get to know us on an individual level. She asked us about our love story and personal lives. She remembered everything and would ask how those things were going in the email communications leading up to the wedding. The day of, her and her second shooter were amazing to work with. Makes me sad she only does weddings because I want her to be a photographer for everything I have in my life going forward. If I did anything right in my wedding planning, it was choosing her to be our wedding photographer.

brought her wealth of experience to our wedding day, seamlessly helping us to transition plans when the weather didn't cooperate, and keeping our whole group laughing and smiling the whole time. She put our priorities at the forefront, allowing us to stay in the moment as much as possible while also capturing so many amazing photos. I would recommend Shelby Street to anyone looking for an experienced, always positive photographer who will deliver amazing results.

h Rachel over google meets, my husband and I knew that she was the person we wanted to entrust capturing one of the most special days in our lives. Rachel put an emphasis on getting to know us as a couple and we could tell that she adeptly builds a relationship with her clients through the wedding planning process. She made us feel incredibly comfortable during our engagement pictures and we left feeling like pros (a tall task for two awkward people trying to pose). She answered all out questions thoughtfully and provided her invaluable advice and experiences to help us make the best decisions for our wedding day. Rachel created a timeline of events that honestly took away so much anxiety when planning all the day of coordination and events. I felt like I was in the best of hands while planning our wedding and I honestly don't think it would have been such a stress free day without her guidance and presence throughout. I was worried about wrangling all our extended families into portraits after the ceremony, but Rachel was a perfect blend of kind but firm and we were able to get through family portraits without any incidents (a very tall task for such big extended families). I have loved printing out all our wedding pictures and looking through them over and over again. I cannot thank Rachel again for capturing our beautiful, perfect day. I feel like our pictures are the perfect representation of who we are as a couple and she captured all the important events and people in our lives beautifully!

ions! We’ve gotten a few of our photos back, and everyone is raving about how beautiful they turned out! She has great experience which helped us get so many good pictures in different places around the city! I would highly recommend Shelby Street!

pful tips and recommendations that we used in selecting our other vendors. She helped us feel comfortable and took the time to know us and our families from day 1. She is always so upbeat and friendly, and brightened up the room from the second she arrived on our wedding day. She helped make the day run so smoothly and kept us on track, while still still making sure we were relaxed and having fun. Not to mention, her pictures are absolutely beautiful! Our family has worked with Rachel for two weddings this year, and we would recommend her to anyone!

the day look bright and beautiful. Rachel is also the calming presence you will need on the wedding day. She treats you like a friend, telling you if your hair is out of place or the groom's shirt isn't straight! She's also able to politely manage the room to get all the family and wedding party photos in an efficient timeline. It's been two years since our wedding day, and I look back on our photos with such gratitude for Rachel. She captures all the photos you want of your wedding day, and even grabs moments you didn't realize you'll want years later. She took a sweet candid of my grandfather hugging me that has become one of my favorites since he has recently passed away. Rachel's sincerity shines through in her photos, and again we cannot thank her enough for being our photographer!

highly

e by minute timeline to make sure we had everything we wanted on our special day. She's not only such a sweet kind person who was enjoyable to work with but also an AMAZING photographer. I chose her because her pictures were not heavily edited to the point where they didn't look natural. Her work is really beautiful. She made our wedding such a wonderful experience and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. She worked such a long day and had a smile on her face the entire time with such positive energy. I have been in several weddings and can truly say I have never seen a photographer with better attention to detail. I can't recommend Shelby Street Studios enough to brides for their wedding!

wedding day was a very long day and her spirits remained high right up until that last photo taken. She was packed up and ready to go, but when we asked her to take one more of my daughter and me, she gladly did so. She also did a wonderful job on the engagement photos that we used for the save the date card. She meticulously worked through the time line with the upmost of patience. In an effort to have the Cincinnati skyline in the back ground for sunset pictures, she even parked her car in such a way to reserve a spot for the photos. This is a women who goes above and beyond for every request and idea. If she doesn't agree with any suggestions, she will politely explain why, then let it up to us on what to do. We are so grateful to have found Shelby Street Studios and Rachel. Highly recommend!

y she brought was contagious and made the whole photo process fun and enjoyable for everyone. She is an A+ personality and photographer and we were so blessed to have her capture our wedding. We would highly recommend her to anyone considering photographers.

talented! She took the time to get to know us and made us feel so comfortable right off the bat for our engagement photos. She then helped tremendously with our wedding timeline, ensuring that she captured every aspect and detail that was important to us. She is so organized and responsive. She gave priceless advice and insight on how to make our day absolutely perfect-and she made it happen! We could not be happier with our photos that capture everything we wanted and more. We will sincerely cherish the photos and Rachel's talent forever!

hings, highly recommend ( and I got a picture of me and her, which was a first …according to her the Father of Bride never has asked for that before ) 🤣🤣THANK YOU !!

photos, day of the wedding and everything in between she was everything we could have asked for! We were nervous taking puctures would be uncomfortable but Rachel made us feel like naturals in front of the camera! It was great meeting her at the engagement photos to make us feel a lot better on the day of. She was also just a great person to be there and help with the madness! The final photos turned out SO GREAT and we look at them almost daily. She took all the photos we wanted the most. Can't say enough great things about working with her and definitely recommend!

y perfectly that portrays every moment in the most elegant and classic way! These photos will be something we cherish FOREVER and will recommend Shelby Street Studios over and over!! Rachel is not only a talented photographer but more. Her smile and cheerful attitude radiates the room. She is truly one of THE most compassionate warm-hearted person we have ever met!

y picture, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She was more like a friend who was just hanging out with us while snapping some pics! Rachel captured all the classic shots we requested with true elegance, brightness, and attention to detail, and even suggested creative, impromptu shots we did not envision that turned out beautifully. She also put so much time and effort into providing us with a timeline that essentially coursed out our entire day, and she never let us get off track. A huge pro in my book that helped me tremendously with planning! After the wedding, Rachel delivered our gallery within record speed. (For all the antsy brides out there, this is another HUGE pro in your wedding photographer!) We were and still are thrilled that we chose Rachel to capture our most special day, and would highly recommend choosing Shelby Street Studios to all the brides to be! Thank you, Rachel!! (Special shoutout to Rachel's assistant that day, Kendall! You were a blast to work with!)

wedding day to help the couple be on track throughout the day. Rachel it truly a joy to work with, she made taking pictures very easy and stress free. Best of all we are in love with our photos and have had a hard time even picking our favorites!

whole day run so smoothly and kept everyone on track. She took a lot of stress off of my shoulders for the wedding day! She made our whole group feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Our pictures turned out so amazing and she captured every second of our big day so we can relive it!!

to learn about posed photos made photos day of less stressful. Rachel is extremely organized, flexible, willing to answer every question, and manages an assistant photographer well. Our photos captured our day brightly and with the happiness we felt on the day. Friends and family also loved the photos. Additionally, our photos were easy to access and share. Rachel also took the time to coordinate and work with our venue to ensure the wedding ran smoothly.

y! We couldn’t be more pleased with our pictures! They are timeless and capture our wedding day perfectly. We’d recommend Shelby Street to anyone!

a camera. She truly went above and beyond all day! If you want amazing pictures that you will be obsessed with, look no further. We can’t thank her enough!

’m truly thankful we chose them. Professional lighting, professional photography, professional photos. They knew exactly what to do.

achel made us feel so comfortable and at ease for two people who aren’t used to being in front of the camera! She helped us capture everything we asked for and more, and some of our favorite photos were ones we hadn’t even planned on taking! Rachel was super easy to communicate with and extremely reliable, and we cannot wait to continue working with her up through our wedding day! And of course, the photos came out absolutely amazing as well. Highly recommend choosing Rachel for your special day!

ions. We used her for our engagement and wedding photos. We will be booking her for future photography needs.

ir happiness. She responds promptly, provided a list of vendors that made wedding planning a breeze! She had a quick turn around on getting out photos back to us- which was a huge benefit! She is so fun and sweet and made us feel so comfortable for our engagement photos- even being patient with our 6 month old during the shoot too. We can’t wait for her to capture our big day and be a part of it!

n energy that makes taking pictures easy, even for people like us who usually feel awkward in front of a camera! She offers great planning tips leading up to the wedding and kept everything on schedule that day so we made it to our cocktail hour on time. We couldn't be happier with how our pictures turned out!

et with us on Zoom to talk about details, packages, etc. which I SO appreciated! My fiancé and I enjoyed her energy, her work, and the amount of time and care that she put into all that she did for us. If you’re looking for a photographer, look no further than Shelby Street!

asn't initially our contact, once she took over she stepped into the role without skipping a beat. She did her background research and already knew all the details of our day. During our planning calls she helped guide us through all the decisions for types of pictures and when to take them. She offered suggestions and guidance making our decision making process a breeze. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART: She guided us through all the poses needed for wedding day so we didn't have to think about a thing. She made taking pictures fun and not a burden or chore which I've heard a lot from many friends. The pictures turned out incredible (especially the sunset photos) and I am so happy we chose Rachel. I would recommend Rachel and the Shelby Street Team to anyone getting married or planning an event.

ent pictures done when we were in town. Our engagement pictures are beautiful and the best part was that she made us feel so comfortable, we were worried about feeling weird or awkward and we did not feel that way at all! I can't wait for her to shoot our photos for our wedding in April!

top of everything and made my husband and I feel so comfortable. A good deal of our wedding was outside and she had SUCH an amazing eye for the best lighting and places to take pictures. Every time I look at my wedding photos I am in awe! They are just stunning. She did a fantastic job!

nts of rain) and we were only in town for the weekend so didn't have unlimited time available. Rachel was in touch with us the entire time planning, changing the plans, adapting for the weather. She was so sweet and understanding and didn't give up on making sure we were going to be able to get our pictures done. She was fun and easy to work with and made taking pictures an enjoyable time. She helped both my fiancé and me feel relaxed and comfortable. We are so excited that she is our photographer and are looking forward to her photographing our wedding.

used to being in front of the camera, so neither one of us knew how to pose and Rachel was so patient and was able to give us direction in a way that made us feel amazing. After our engagement, she was so timely getting our photo's back to us to be able to share for our save the dates. During the planning process, Rachel was extremely helpful as she gave us a timeline of what our day would look like and patiently helped as I changed the plan around 50 times. She kept reminding me that "She wanted to help me photograph the day how I had always pictured it, and if that required us changing the timeline that is ok!" She then took our wedding photos and this woman deserves a gold medal for this. Our wedding was during prime cicada season in the middle of Mount Adams (where the cicada's were very prevalent). She not only helped us to keep the cicadas away, she helped me to feel better about the millions of cicadas flying around our head in the heat. Rachel was so confident and had a great sense of direction when letting our bridal party know where to go/what to do for the photos as well as for our family photos. She knew when we needed a break but also knew when to grab us to get extra special photos also. I cannot recommend this photographer enough to anyone getting married in the near future - Rachel and her team will make your day feel like you always dreamed of.

an’t recommend her enough!

that was very special to us and the pictures turned out incredible. Not only did she make me feel comfortable in front of a camera but has also been available to talk with me whenever I have needed advice regarding the wedding planning. She always has a smile on her face and treats you like royalty. I cannot wait for her to capture our BIG DAY :)

iful, classic, and timeless. I also really appreciated the comfortability and professionalism of the whole team, especially throughout the process as a Covid bride.

ved all the photos I never thought I would want: photos of the flower girl and ring bearer with me before walking down the aisle , candids of last minute touches with my dads bow tie before walking down, etc. it was simply beautiful and very thoughtful. I catch myself looking at the pictures way too often (as my husband would say) :) Then again, they take close to a thousand to make sure you have PLENTY of options. When you think it can’t get better, they have 2 points of view they shoot from. One being on the bride and I loved seeing my reactions and facial expressions to everything! They were so prepared for every moment and so grateful for all the memories. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. They have done 2 of my friends weddings (Maggie Hobbs and Abby Peak) and those have been PHENOMENAL too. Very versatile. 100/10

hey were so kind and accommodating. When we asked to have Rachel, our photographer, come to our small ceremony in December she happily joined us and took the most amazing photographs. Not only did she come early to set up, but she drove around before our ceremony to scout out photo locations. I am truly obsessed with our engagement photos and wedding photos. I can not wait to use their services again in July for our big celebration.

l ultra comfortable with your wedding photographers, look no further. No detail goes unnoticed. They captured everything we wanted and then some, and they coached us along the way with day of timeline suggestions (and stayed with all the changes we made so easily), family photo suggestions, beautiful photography locations, getting the right light for photos, and so much more. With both of my parents birthdays within the next few days after our wedding, they even gave us a few sneak peaks that we could share. And only a few weeks later, they wrote the most amazing blog and shared our pictures. I remember reading it, and just crying (happy tears) with utter joy: http://shelbystreetstudios.com/cincinnati-wedding-photography-robyn-dillon/ We are so thankful to have met Brittany and Patrick! Thank you for your ability to work so well together and with us, for selecting our love story, for making the trip to Cleveland for our wedding, for the stunning photos, and for your friendship.

ne of a bad experience.  This review is not the case.  I was extremely impressed with Shelby Street Studios!  My regret is that I did not know about this company for my oldest 2 daughters when they were getting married.  They each had a different photographer so I have 2 others to use as comparisons. I think I can speak for our entire family about the difference in our experience with Shelby Street compared to the other photographers, it's like comparing apples to oranges!   Our experience was wonderful!  From the moment I met Rachel and her crew I had a good feeling.  Rachel was so relaxed and made you feel like you knew her your entire life.  She knew exactly what to do and kept the day running smoothly.  I was so impressed with her creativity with all the different poses and shots not to mention she captured every moment!  The photos came back quickly and every time I view them, or the video, I relive my baby's wedding day over and over!  They are amazing! Trust me when I say I could not have been more pleased and will recommend Shelby Street to everyone I know!

ve at communicating with me. She answered my millions of questions, emailed back so quickly, and even made a timeline for us while she was out of the country (like, what!!!!!!). Rachel made my husband and I feel so comfortable- she gave us poses and taught us how to look and act natural even though we aren't exactly professionals in front of a camera. Seriously, I felt like a princess all day. Also, both our engagement and wedding photos were edited and returned to us so quickly, and they were everything we could have ever wanted- I look through them probably once a day. If you are looking for a wedding photographer your search is over because Shelby Street Studio is the most amazing team of people!

engagement photos to talking logistics for the day of to calming me down when I was overwhelmed on the day of, they excelled. The team is professional, beyond organized, and amazing communicators. Their services are worth more than the price tag in comfort you get knowing they are keeping you on schedule and capturing the perfect moments of your day. I could not be happier or more thankful I chose them as our photographers.

and more! They took engagement photos and then her wedding photos. They helped her fill out a timeline for the day and had a list connected to a time with all photos to be taken that day. They arrived promptly and helped us stay on schedule! And if adjustments were needed to be made that was no problem for them or if they felt my daughter was getting over loaded they were attentive to that also. I can’t thank them enough for all the wonderful memories they captured for us on that day and it was so nice for me to put down my camera and just enjoy the day. The biggest compliment I can give them though is we are going to use them again in 2021 for my other daughter’s wedding.

tyle was natural, weren't overly edited and were timeless. Shelby Street captured the day perfectly!! Not only are the pictures amazing, so is their customer service. Our entire wedding day team was fantastic. Rachel was our lead photographer and she was so nice and personable. She even helped my bridesmaids get my dress bustled when they were struggling! We received our photos a little after three weeks from our wedding, which is such a quick turnaround for nearly 1,000 pictures! We will hold on to our photos and cherish them for the rest of our lives. Choosing Shelby Street was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They are worth every penny!
