Grooviest, Boogiest, Most Fantastic Photographer EVER!

Shelly is such a wonderful photographer, we could not recommend her more! She was attentive and professional, giving just enough direction so we never felt lost during the lead up and day of our wedding, while also giving us the freedom to have everything turn out exactly how I imagined. As soon as we saw Shelly's work, we knew she was the photographer for us, and she didn't disappoint. Her style is unmistakable and gave every shot the flair it deserved. I'm not hoping to get married again anytime soon, but if I ever need a photographer in the future, I'm calling Shelly first.

Amazing work from an amazing person

Shelley is an amazing photographer that provided the best service possible! She made us very comfortable and really led the way whenever we got confused with the wedding details. For my wedding I went with an all-inclusive venue, but I didn't go with their photographer. I could have saved some money by going through them, but I knew for awhile I wanted Shelley to capture our moments. It was well worth it! Definitely my favorite person from out of all of my wedding vendors.

Beautiful Photos, Beautiful Human!

Working with Shelley was a dream. My husband and I were so nervous before our engagement shoot, but Shelley made us so comfortable right away. She took us to absolutely beautiful locations and made the entire process so much fun! We left our engagement shoot feeling like celebrities.

At the wedding she was incredibly professional. She did exactly what she said she wanted to do, she became a part of the event, blending in, weaving in and out of groups and getting incredible candid shots. When I saw the photos I was shocked by the amazing angles she was getting "I didn't even notice she was there" was said more than once. She has a knack for knowing where to look and when, finding those small special moments.

I am so thankful that we will have these photos to treasure forever.

Thank you so much Shelley!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
