Shalista was recommended to me by a friend and the moment I started browsing through her portfolio, I knew that she was the photographer I wanted to capture one of the biggest days of my life! After submitting my inquiry, I got all the information I needed right away. Shalista was a pleasure to work with. I planned my Iowa wedding from DC, so it was very hectic for me, but I was not worried about the photography. She assured me all she needed was phone call prior to our wedding and she was set. What a relief! I was also impressed on how she took the time to learn about my family and know their names prior to our wedding.

On our wedding day, Shalista was awesome. My husband doesn't really like being in front of the camera, but she made him feel comfortable, which gave her the opportunity to capture some very sweet moments. I was also impressed with her ability to take almost any setting and make it look beautiful. Our church is difficult to photograph and make it look nice. It's more modern and frankly, it rarely looks good in pictures, but the ones Shalista took inside the church are some of my favorites. Overall, she captured my day perfectly. I loved the photos and I loved working with her. I'd highly recommend her to anyone getting married and looking for a quality photographer.

Shalista was amazing to work with! She took engagement pictures (part of her wedding package) so we were able to meet her before hand and share ideas with her so she could get a feel for what types of photos I wanted. At the wedding she was very discrete yet captured all the moments I wanted! I was surprised by all of the shots she got during the ceremony and was very pleased with the natural pictures she took!

I HIGHLY recommend Shalista!!!

Shalista is incredible. If you've seen her portfolio, you probably already knew this. But more than her amazing, insane talent, she's just such a wonderful person. She was BY FAR the best person I worked with for the wedding (I can't call her a "wedding vendor" because she's so much more than that), and I loved every minute she was around. Photography was one of the most important things to me and my now hubby, and she far surpassed our expectations and everyone loves the photos that now hang in our house. If you're wavering between hiring her and someone else, let me help you - Hire her. Now. Before someone else does. She's worth every cent, and I promise you you will be thrilled with the results.
