    Beautiful photos

    If anyone is looking for a photographer, pick Shanell and you won’t be disappointed! We hired Shanell for our wedding in Pigeon Forge, TN on December 4th, 2020. She was available from the beginning to answer any questions that would come up and was great with communication throughout the whole process. The day of our wedding, it rained all day. I thought for sure that pictures would be limited by the weather, but Shanell thought otherwise. Her and her second photographer, Danielle, were troopers and took some amazing photos of us in the rain. It was pretty darn cold, everything was soaked, and yet they were able to capture pictures that I will cherish forever! She made the experience so fun and made us forget about the weather conditions. Besides being willing to take pictures in the rain, Shanell does an awesome job at paying attention to the small details. The wedding album and even the USB drive we received were personalized with special touches that made them feel so special. Shanell is so great to work with and will do a fantastic job at capturing memories for any occasion. I highly recommend Shanell as a photographer and will definitely be making a road trip in the future to see her again for more pictures!

    Great work with a great pro!!

    Shanell was our photographer for our fall wedding! It was absolutely beautiful and she did a perfect job capturing every moment of that day! We loved working with her and enjoyed all the meetings we had because we just love being around her! Because of COVID, we had to change our wedding date and she was easy to communicate with and ended up calming me down when I would panic! :) She had this little dance she did when she would get ready to take pictures that added to the fun of the day! Everyone commented on her making all the photos a breeze and a joy to do! I also went and did a boudoir shoot with her for a Christmas gift for my husband. HIGHLY recommend adding that to your must-haves, brides!! It was so incredibly empowering and SO much fun! Embrace your curves and EVERY perfect imperfection that makes you unique! We are SO grateful for all of Shanell's hard work, professionalism, and awesome attitude! We adore every single photo she has captured for us and have loved every minute we've gotten to spend with her!

    Incredible

    We got married this past July out in Colorado, and Shanell was a dream to work with! Very responsive, very flexible. Not only that, but our photos were gorgeous. We were lucky to have Shanell travel out and take such incredible photos. Shanell was professional even after the event...she stayed in contact with us through sending previews of the photos, editing them quickly, and giving us access to hundreds of photos. I recommend her services to absolutely everyone!

    Shanell Bledsoe Photography's reply:

    What a lovely wedding with amazing people! It was a pleasure, Jenna! You and Payton chose such a stunning backdrop and combined with a faith-filled ceremony - it's definitely one I will never forget. Thanks for choosing me!

    Shannell went above and beyond on our wedding day.

    Shannell did a fantastic job capturing the special moments of our wedding. There are many events happening during the wedding day that you can't be present to see. You can count on Shannell to capture all those moments. She is very patient, especially with children, not to mention the bride! She was on top of every detail. She is a professional in every sense of the word!

    Such a wonderful experience!

    Shanell did our wedding pictures of our small intimate mountain (rainy) wedding and she was amazing! So sweet and wonderful to deal with, we would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!!!

    Shanell Bledsoe Photography's reply:

    What a sweet wedding you had, Mandy! Small, intimate weddings surrounded by the ones who mean to most to you are so memorable and meaningful. I'm glad the day and the images were everything you hoped for!

    Shanell is the best!

    Shanell is the best photographer out there! It was pouring rain and freezing cold on our wedding day and she somehow found a way to create magic out of absolutely nothing! Our pictures are breathtaking and so original. We are forever grateful for Shanell!

    Shanell Bledsoe Photography's reply:

    Wow, what a crazy rainy day! Despite all plans having to change, you handled it all with grace and made the best of a not-so-great weather situation. We did get some amazing images out of it though - so amazing they're hanging in my studio. =) I had a fun time with you guys. Thanks for choosing me!

    Perfection!

    I could not have asked for a better photographer! Shanell was awesome to work from the engagement pictures through to after the wedding. The pictures she took captured the day perfectly from the smallest details to the biggest moments. Pictures are the one thing you will have to remember all the craziness of your best day ever and if I had it to do all over again, I would choose her every single time!

    Shanell Bledsoe Photography's reply:

    Loved your fall wedding, Cara! Full of such thoughtful details - my fave was the throws for guests in case they got cold. I am grateful you guys chose me!

    Absolutely amazing! She was great from the very start and even now that the wedding is over she is still great with communication and timeliness. I made a huge mistake and lost my usb with engagement photos and didn't know it until the day before the shower when I wanted to get some printed. Without hesitation she posted them online so that I would have immediate access to them. She always responds the same day. This is all just great customer service, I think her work speaks for itself. Check out a few images and you will know that she's THE ONE to have do your photos. She was great with the wild guys in the wedding party and even the children. I cannot say enough nice amazing things about her. Great pictures, great customer service, great with people.

    Shannell is truly an amazing photographer! She captured every moment of our day. It’s so pleasurable to look back at the pictures and remember the day, and also get to see lovely little moments that we missed, that Shannell captured. Her pictures are stunning she is incredibly talented. We could not recommend Shannell more she done an excellent job.

    Shanell is a blast to work with! She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding day and we couldn't be happier! She captured everything beautifully and makes it a fun experience as well, never awkward being in front of the camera. She always goes above and beyond and we will cherish these photos forever!

    Shanell caught every special moment that my husband and I wanted to treasure forever. She not only brought her own incredible ideas but always incorporated what we wanted as well. She is so incredibly easy to work with, on top of communication, and very quick to get your photos back to you. She did an amazing job of capturing those small, tender moments at our wedding and reception without making us feel like a camera was following us. As far as I’m concerned, Shanell is the only wedding photographer in Knoxville to hire!
    *Also Shanell is an amazing boudoir photographer! I was a little nervous going into our appointment but she made me feel so at ease with not only her but my own body that I got up the nerve to do a full nude! After my experience I believe everyone should do a boudoir shot not only for their special someone but for themselves. You will have a blast!!!

    Choosing Shanell was one of the easiest wedding decisions we made! Her work is stunning, and she makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She was present for all the moments we wanted captured but never in the middle of it. We used her for both engagement and wedding pictures and can't wait to use her in the future! I cherish all our pictures and how perfectly they show our personalities.

    I cannot say enough great things about Shanell! She photographed our wedding day and the pictures were even better than I could have ever imagined. I originally saw her work in The Pink Bride magazine an was so blown away by her talent for capturing beautiful moments that she was the first vendor I booked after nailing down a venue. She was a blast to work with too! She had such a fun upbeat attitude, even though we had to deal with crazy traffic and an unexpected bus delay. It was the best day of my life and I'm so thankful I had Shanell to document it. My husband and I were so excited to receive the super cute photo package she sent us after the wedding. We'll cherish those photos forever! She even submitted a few pics to The Pink Bride that ended up being featured which gave us another keepsake that will last a lifetime. Thank you SO much Shanell! Trust me ladies, booking her will be one of the best decisions you make!!

    Shanell Bledsoe is totally amazing! She got pictures of things that I didn't even see during our wedding. Our photos were just stunning, and she works so fast that we had them back right after our honeymoon! She is super professional and her second shooter is amazing as well. I will use her for all my future photography needs!

    Not only was Bledsoe Photography produce the best pictures I have ever seen of a wedding but she was extremely affordable. In my opinion she does not charge enough for the quality of photos you get from her. She captured the most outstanding pictures you can imagine. I can go back thru my photos and relive the day as if I was there all over again. I would not only recommend her for any wedding, but I will be using her in the future for any pictures I need taken.

    Thanks Alexanderia! You were an awesome bride and I love that photography was so important to you and Chip.

    Shanell is awesome. I was so comfortable with her! I couldn't be happier with the pictures she took at my wedding and I can't wait to have her photograph my littles. She is super talented at catching details you didn't even notice on your big day as well as emotion. There are several pictures of my husband and I looking at each other that we didn't know she was taking at the time that still almost make me cry when I look at them.

    My husband and I both agree that Bledsoe Photography was wonderful to work with! The prices were very good and helped keep us on our budget. The quality of the pictures were great and she took a good amount of pictures. Bledsoe was very nice and on time and very easy to work with. She also took the pictures for my roommate's wedding, which is how I knew about her.
    I still look at all the pictures that she took all the time. My husband laughs at me because I look at them so much but I just love them. We still talk about the how much we liked having her as our photographer and that she captured everything we wanted and more! Would definitely reccommend her and already have reccommended her to a few people.

    Of all of the wedding vendors I worked with, Bledsoe Photography was my absolute favorite! Shanell, the owener, was so easy to work with, she took amazing pictures, she was incredibly prompt about returning emails (which I appreciated), she can calm the nerves of anxious brides, her prices were much more reasonable than alot of photographers, she drove 220 miles to come to my wedding, she was on top of things and put together, she got pictures of my dad smiling (which never happens), she's fast (got pictures back in less than 1 week), and above all, a wonderful person. It could not have been more of a pleasure to work with her.

    Bledsoe Photography was the perfect match for our wedding photography needs. Shanell was flexible and accomodating to our schedule and captured the day with beautiful pictures we will treasure always. Her style was one of stealth and accuracy, as she was able to capture each event and moment with great care, yet we hardly noticed she was there. She was always quick to respond to any requests or questions as we were planning. Most of all, the pictures are just gorgeous. Fantastic work. We would give her the highest recommendation!
