The absolute best!

Choosing a photographer in my opinion is the most important decision you make when planning a wedding, so I really did my due diligence. Shane was the top recommended photographer from my coordinator and after looking up his work I knew he was my first choice. Thankfully he was available on my wedding date and wow did he not disappoint! Shane is not only a phenomenal photographer but he is a lovely & professional person. He is excellent at what he does and it shows through his work ethic & his photos. I had several people come up to my raving about how great Shane is. He is someone you can 100% trust with capturing the most important day of your life. I can't recommend him enough.

Our Fantastic Wedding

Shane captured all of our wedding day with flawless, vivid, and detailed photos. I had a long list of photos that I had wanted captured and he touched just about every single one.

Amazing!!!

Shane was a fantastic choice for our wedding. He made everything run so smoothly and kept us on schedule. It was so relieving to have such a professional who knew what they were doing -- I was a nervous wreck all day about the logistics and the moving parts, but Shane helped keep everything moving right along and eased my nerves. The photos he took are AMAZING and we will treasure them for the rest of our lives. He did a great job getting posed and candid shots of us and our wedding party. And, the best part is he got the photos to us SO QUICKLY! While he was taking photos all day he would show some to us, the night of the wedding he sent us about 30 teaser photos so that we could see and pass them along to friends, and he sent us the link to our entire album within a week. We are so happy we went with Shane, he is a true professional and a fantastic photographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We enjoyed working with Shane and Abby for our wedding in July 2015. They were very approachable and creative with photos that we wanted, but also adding in their own touches. Thank you so much for capturing our special day!
