"Every time I look at the shots, I am transported back to the moments instantly."

"Shelby was so amazing to work with. From the very beginning she was so communicative and helpful with getting everything organized for our big day. She went above and beyond to make us feel special and captured the day of our wedding perfectly. Every time I look at the shots, I am transported back to the moments instantly. We got our pictures back in a timely manner and her user interface is excellent for sharing photos with friends and family and ordering prints and cards. Book her for sure- you will be so pleased you did!

"We just had to show up and be ourselves!"

What can I say!?!? Shelby was incredible. She picked out a beautiful location and had all the details planned...we just had to show up and be ourselves! We have never taken quality pictures together, and Shelby provided SOOO much help with directing poses while keeping true to our story and personalities.
They always say when someone is passionate about what they’re doing, it shows and it definitely does with Shelby behind the camera! She took time to get to know us and our interests, her emotions and attitude during the shoot were genuine, and you can tell she takes time to make sure your photos are true to you and not “over-polished”. I can’t wait to have Shelby capture future moments in my life!!!

" She took the most beautiful unique shots that I will treasure for the rest of my life"

Thee BEST photographer!! Shelby was everything I could have imagined as a wedding photographer. She directed us how to pose & where to place our hands, etc she was the perfect instructor (which is what we needed on a day where we had so much on our minds lol). She was SO creative too which is what I love the most. She took the most beautiful unique shots that I will treasure for the rest of my life. She was relaxed & cool & was open to anything I wanted to try. I had so much fun too & I think that is so important... to be able to enjoy your day & the entire experience & she made it all happen. Pictures were sent super fast too which I greatly appreciated. She truly is the best!! I can’t thank her enough for capturing my favorite day with my favorite person :)

"11/10 would recommend!"

"Planning a proposal in a place you have never been seems daunting, but Shelby helped me draw up a flawless plan and was there every step of the way. The pictures turned out better than I could have expected and somehow captured how perfect the moment was. My fiancée 😉 and I will always have these pictures to look back on and they truly do the moment justice. Thanks so much Shelby!! 11/10 would recommend!"
