Shyann was an absolute dream to work with and truly exceeded all of our expectations. From the beginning, she was professional, easy to communicate with, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She captured our day so beautifully and authentically, preserving not just the big moments but all of the little details and emotions in between. Shyann made the entire experience feel effortless and fun, and we will cherish our photos forever. We cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer.

I reached out to Shyann with a bit of an unconventional request - a photo shoot out at Three Chicks Ranch during my bachelorette weekend. I had wanted to do an hour shoot to capture memories with my bachelorette group around the property we were staying at. While not her usual assignment, Shyann was willing to work with me and I am so glad she did! She made it easy and effortless to be in front of her camera. We had the best time and will treasure these memories forever!

Shy was amazing to work with. I was nervous that it was going to be awkward and boring. Shy was goofy and fun... made all the difference.

Shyann's photos speak for themselves but its so fun to actually be the one she is taking photos of! She shot my bridals and then our wedding day with second shooter, Lauren. I knew to just listen and go with Shy's ideas, suggestions, and tips which turned into amazing bridal photos that were so hard NOT to share until post wedding. Shy and Lauren were already familiar with the venue and we left it up to them on when and where to take photos. They covered eight hours of our day from getting ready, crying, hugging, dancing, laughing, and probably some falling. I cant wait to see our wedding photos but I have no doubt they'll be awesome! Don't hesitate to book Shy Laurel as your photographer, you wont regret it!

I met Shyanne at another wedding venue and just felt like we vibed ( sounds weird, but I go off connections). She was quick with email responses or calls, she has years of experience and it shows. If there is something you would like she is open, very sweet and I just love her photos.

Shyann was amazing to work with! Her photographic style is so beautiful, and she captured our day perfectly, down to the little details. We will cherish having our memories captured so stunningly forever, and our families love the pictures too! Shyann was responsive and easy to work with at every stage of planning, and she put us at ease on our big day.

Shyann is absolutely fantastic to work with! She is incredibly personal and has the incredible gift of taking the most beautiful photos. I found Shyann's website and was stunned at every breathtaking photo in her portfolio. From beginning to end over the course of a year of planning, our communication efforts went smoothly, she provided all the details needed and answered all my questions. She also worked with me in customizing our photo package.

Shyann and her assistant Lauren went above and beyond and we are beyond the day of our wedding. They were such a joy to have around despite my nervous energy and uncomfortable weather. Their positive vibes paired with their energetic direction played a big part in the way our photos turned out. We aren't exactly the most photogenic people but they brought out the best in us for our wedding - 110%.

For that, I am super super thankful, I wouldn't have it any other way except I wish I included the engagement session! We are thrilled and beyond happy with the outcome of our wedding photos. She's a hidden photographer gem in the Austin/San Antonio/New Braunfels area! Don't waste time and book her now!!

Shyann from Dear Lovely/Shy Laurel Photography shot my bridal portraits and my wedding day. The pictures are BEAUTIFUL. Her work is amazing, and while she has a lovely style, she always asks for the “feel” you are going for with your day. My feel was romantic and airy, and that’s exactly what my pictures look like. She is also fun, personable, and great at making you feel comfortable during her sessions. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, as well as someone looking for a photographer for any other kind of photo session. Shyann’s wedding work is amazing, but so are all of her other galleries. Your engagement, Bridal, Senior, maternity, newborn, etc...sessions will turn out wonderful and you’ll have a great experience if you choose Shyann. I will use her as much as possible for any of my future photo sessions!

Choosing Dear Lovely Photography for my bridal portraits and wedding day photos was hands down one of the BEST decisions I've ever made. My expectations were COMPLETELY surpassed-- Shyann and Tawny were so unbelievably amazing and as a duo they were unstoppable. One example of their unparalleled service started with the last minute timing of my bridal portraits which were only SIX DAYS away from my actual wedding date -due to the last minute alterations done on my dress. Shyann not only fit me in last minute but she drove over an hour in a RIDICULOUS rain storm and SOMEHOW made me appear like a beautiful goddess in the photos (even though I felt like I was going to look like a wet dog) and she SOMEHOW edited and returned them ALL to me within 24 hours so that I could have the opportunity to have them printed for my wedding, which I had NO expectation of at all. I was unbelievably stressed that day and the day of the wedding and she was so laid back and comforting, I think she's a low key therapist on the side. She even created a slideshow of the photographs from the wedding which brought EVERYONE to tears. I am as picky as they come and I cannot rave about my experience with Dear Lovely Photography enough--- and I have many opportunities to do so once people see their photos. I will undoubtedly continue to use them for any future photography needs and definitely look forward to doing so.

Shyann was AMAZING and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to capture my wedding day. She completely got my vision. She was extremely flexible, meeting us first at my Aunt's home for the getting-ready shots and then moving along to the venue. She trekked through wooded areas and adapted perfectly when my outdoor reception had to become and indoor reception. She captured important moments and moments that I didn't even realize would be important, and she did all of this with such a great attitude! Every detail was captured for us to remember for years to come, from flowers, cake and settings pictures, to beautiful couple, group and family shots, to incredible party/dancing and reception candids. I could not be happier and I'd book her again in a heartbeat . Basically, she's perfect and worth every penny plus more.
