Wonderful Experience

We were so lucky to work with Bo and her team for our wedding and welcome party. Looking at the photos from Bo has been a true highlight of the whole wedding. We have loved reliving the day through the photos, which perfectly captured all of our favorite moments. Bo has such a keen eye and made so many incredible artistic decisions that made our photos really special. Everyone that we've shown them to has asked us the same question, "How are you going to pick?" We are so appreciative of the hard work that Bo and team did to make our wedding day so special. We will treasure these photos for a lifetime and can't wait to have an occasion to have Bo take photos for us again!

Thanks Bo 🥰

I found Bo on Instagram as I started to plan my wedding - I love the fine art style, the unique/ interesting composition, but what made I choose Bo is how I see the couples look at each other in her photos - with so much love and care for each other. She’s good at finding the angle where people look good yet so natural and just feel like themselves, and after reviewing many many insta accounts, in my opinion that’s hard to come by!
We’re happy to have done the engagement shoot which gives us a sense of what would happen on the wedding day - My husband always has squinty eyes in the sun 😅 and is uncomfortable posing for photos, but Bo made us feel really comfortable and the photos came out so cute!
Throughout the planning process, Bo is so responsive and always there to help / give me advice when needed, from what to wear, order of events etc. I’m so very appreciative of her❤️
On the wedding day, we had a tight schedule but Bo was such a leader! 😎 she knew the timeline by heart, made sure we stay on time, gave strong directions, and got all our lovely photos taken in time!
Big thanks Bo 🥰😊, We’re so grateful for the photos to treasure the special moment of our life forever ❤️

The best wedding photographer in NYC

Our wedding was absolutely perfect, thanks to Bo. She was the best photographer we could ask for; she immediately made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is an expert at capturing candids and all your emotions, and you barely even notice her presence during the ceremony & reception. Then, she sends you the best photos you'll ever see (and *so many* photos!). Truly 10000/10, I'd give her a bajillion stars if I could. I can't recommend her enough. Bo is the best!!!!

Don't hesitate - book Bo Shim for your wedding weekend before someone else does!

I cannot recommend Bo Shim enough! A year has passed since our NYC wedding and my husband and I are still beyond thrilled to have worked with her. Bo is everything you want a fine arts wedding photographer to be - meticulous, flexible, and thoughtful. She exhibited these qualities time and time again. Not only during the wedding, but also during our engagement shoot, the planning process, as well as well after the wedding. Our wedding (like so many others) called for many pivots and obstacles due to the pandemic. Bo handled them gracefully and flowed in and around a HECTIC and CHAOTIC process like a breath of fresh air.

I won't speak to her photographs - her portfolio speaks for itself! Photos last a forever and milestones such as weddings are once in a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and hire someone who understands and values that! You will find that in Bo Shim.

P.S. We plan to work with Bo for future non-wedding shoots. How often do you find vendors who make you feel that comfortable in front of the camera? :)

True Craft

Bo, we want to say thank you for being the most perfect photographer we ever wished we could find. Our engagement photos were so amazing that everyone would talk about them. Our current previews of our wedding photos have already made us cry countless of times. We simply cannot believe that those two women are us. You, and your staff, pay such attention to detail and made us feel so comfortable during the 8 hours we were together. We could not have our wedding any other way, we are so happy to have shared our intimate day with such a humble human but with such passion for her craft. Thank you for everything and we cannot wait to see all the beautiful photos!

Wonderful Experience

Bo was our engagement and wedding photographer. She is creative, thorough, gives strong direction, and has the best eye. Each time we worked with her, Bo made us look beautiful and feel comfortable. She captured all the sweet, loving, fun and silly moments of each day as well as the most gorgeous detail shots. Bo also was responsive to emails in the months leading up to the wedding, and she got us back a sneak peek of last weekend's wedding within days, even with her very busy schedule. Simply put -- Bo's work is impeccable, and she's a pleasure to be around to boot. If you're considering hiring Bo, don't hesitate to reach out to her. I can't say enough amazing things.

Recommend a thousand times!

I recommend Bo and her team a thousand times as I've had 3 sessions with Bo: engagement, elopement, and wedding session. I absolutely love all of them and Bo has captured every moment where me and my husband look the best (especially portraits). She also captured some of the most beautiful/touching candid moments during our wedding which is super special. Also she has been so kind and flexible as we were one of those covid planning couples. I highly recommend x 100000

Bo is amazing!

We are so happy that we had Bo as our photographer. From the beginning to the wedding day, Bo was extremely professional and prompt in answering our questions. Due to Covid, we had to change our wedding dates multiple times and Bo was always accommodating. Our photos from the wedding were amazing. She captured the most beautiful moments. We would highly recommend Bo for any other couples looking for a photographer.

My favorite vendor by far!

I can't say enough good things about Bo and her team! My husband and I just received our photos, and we are amazed by how she was able to capture our personalities and love for one another. I don't love getting my picture taken, but Bo made me feel so comfortable and gave me the exact amount of direction I needed to feel natural and beautiful. Our wedding was only 60 people, so I was worried that a photographer might not blend in during the ceremony, but we didn't even know Bo and her assistant were there- she was so discreet. Bashful Captures is an easy choice I'd make over and over again. Thanks Bo!

I have been working with Bo for several years now and have no hesitation in recommending her to my clients! She is not only incredibly talented but she also really cares about capturing each detail of a wedding which is so important since the time flies by so quickly for the couple. She has never failed to impress me and I have yet to be disappointing when seeing her work on any event I have produced, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer!
