Shane and his partner Meg were an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. Each meeting leading up to the wedding left us feeling so calm because Shane's experience, kindness, and knowledge allowed him to answer every question and assuage every concern in the blink of an eye. He was receptive to what we felt were our most important moments and offered guidance from his vast experience that was always spot-on. On the wedding day, he was such a joy to be around! He was unobtrusive but also helped keep everything on track, he was always ready and willing to help make little adjustments to make everything perfect, and he brought such a calm and positive energy to the day! The finished photos were delivered right on time (and he was super responsive to a request to get the photos in time for my birthday!) and his work was absolutely STUNNING. We love >95% of the photos of us, where on a typical day I hate most photos! We could not be happier with the finished products and the experience of working with Shane. -

When we first met Shane, he greeted us with a smile and immediately put us at ease with his down-to-earth personality. He was very attentive and responsive to all requests and concerns we had before and on our wedding day. His laid back energy helped us stay relaxed on our wedding day, even with rain!
Shane finished our wedding album and was able to send it to us within a few weeks of the wedding. The pictures were AMAZING! we were so happy with how they came out and can't wait to get prints made! -

Since we were planning a wedding out of state, we knew we needed a team of vendors that we could trust without meeting face to face. When it came to a photographer, we found just that in Shane and his partner Meg. After we chatted through email and over the phone, we knew we were in good hands. They captured literally every moment of the day with ease. We are thrilled with our photos and so are our family and friends! They have given us the most beautiful memories to last a lifetime ! -

We found Shane Godfrey on a list of recommended vendors given to us by our venue (The Barn at Gibbet Hill) and decided to meet with him after seeing samples of his beautiful work online. He seemed to capture not only the just the event and the attendants, but the emotion behind what was going on. When we had our meeting, he showed us sample books of his work, wedding albums he had done and gave us access to an online photo collection from a previous wedding (which also gave us insight into what we would receive after our wedding). He emphasized that his goal was to illustrate the spirit of the couple and guests and that he typically worked on a loose plan of what photos he would take and work off what stood out to him the day of. That aligned perfectly with what we were looking for, as we did not want lots of planned shots or intend to work off a shot list. We loved how he even his posed photos looked natural, and the fact that he relied heavily on capturing candid moments, somehow managing to always make the people in them look good (which really takes some artistic genius). He works with a second photographer (her name was Meg and she also is incredibly talented), which was great on the wedding day because they were able to take “getting ready” photos of both of us (and our wedding parties) and also capture moments from the whole event from multiple angles. Around sunset Shane came up to us to let us know that it would be the perfect time to take some shots in the field near the barn. These “golden hour” shots are unbelievable gorgeous and definitely some of our favorites from the night. Yet, it’s hard to pick favorites when everything was captured so perfectly. Shane told us that between he and Meg they typically take around 7,000 - 8,000 photographs throughout the night and then send you 500 - 1,000; which shows you how hard they work both during the event and afterward. We are now selecting which photos to use in the wedding album that we ordered from him, and you know that a photographer must have done an amazing job when even your “narrowed down” list is more than double what an album can actually fit. Shane captured every moment that we wanted during our wedding, and so much more. We will look back at these photos for the rest of our lives and could not be happier with the way they came out. You will be making a wonderful decision if you decide to use him for your wedding! -

Ginny Sent on 08/16/2016Our guests almost all had the same thing to say, during the days and weeks following our wedding: “Your wedding was so [positive adjective]! Your photographer was AWESOME.” Our guests said this, across the board, before they’d even seen the images that Shane captured—it really speaks to what a nice presence that he has, and how comfortable he makes his photo subjects.
We had Shane take our engagement photos, as well as our wedding photos, and he was incredibly pleasant to work with—he was very friendly, laid-back, conversational, and had a terrific sense of humor. We felt comfortable with him from moment one, and confident that he was going to do a terrific job. All of our guests and bridal party members echoed that (resoundingly) after the wedding itself. We’ve heard so much positive feedback about how great Shane’s interactions were with our guests, and how he was very present—but very unobtrusive.
The actual results from both of our photo sessions are just beautiful. We had an engagement session down in the Boston Public Garden, and our wedding was out at a botanical garden that had an outdoor and indoor component. Shane knew how to make use of the different settings, and his use of light (and the natural landscape) really stand out in both our sets of photos. We loved everything about our wedding photos, but what we’re the happiest with are the portraits of our guests. Shane and Meg managed to capture gorgeous candids of just about everyone in attendance—we hope to order prints of the candids as eventual gifts, because they’re just so spectacular at capturing particular personalities, facial expressions, and the actual texture of some interactions.
We can’t say enough about how professional and how thoroughly awesome Shane was to work with. He’s a very gifted photographer, and we were lucky to work with him.
