Here’s a polished, glowing review for your photographer:

⸻

When we chose the Capitol Theatre as our wedding venue, there was only one choice for photographer, and after seeing Shanell’s work, we completely understood why. Her photos were stunning, layered, and full of emotion, and it was immediately clear that she truly knows and loves the venue. That familiarity showed in every thoughtful angle and beautifully composed shot.

On the day itself, Shanell brought such wonderful energy and enthusiasm. She made the whole experience feel fun and effortless while still being incredibly professional and organized. We were also amazed at how quickly she turned our photos around, and when we saw them, we were absolutely blown away. They perfectly captured the mood, the details, and the magic of the day.

Shanell is genuinely gifted, and her passion shines through her work. We are so grateful we had her as our photographer and will absolutely be using her again for future milestones. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Shannell did a fantastic job capturing the special moments of our wedding. There are many events happening during the wedding day that you can't be present to see. You can count on Shannell to capture all those moments. She is very patient, especially with children, not to mention the bride! She was on top of every detail. She is a professional in every sense of the word!

Shanell was our photographer for our fall wedding! It was absolutely beautiful and she did a perfect job capturing every moment of that day! We loved working with her and enjoyed all the meetings we had because we just love being around her! Because of COVID, we had to change our wedding date and she was easy to communicate with and ended up calming me down when I would panic! :) She had this little dance she did when she would get ready to take pictures that added to the fun of the day! Everyone commented on her making all the photos a breeze and a joy to do! I also went and did a boudoir shoot with her for a Christmas gift for my husband. HIGHLY recommend adding that to your must-haves, brides!! It was so incredibly empowering and SO much fun! Embrace your curves and EVERY perfect imperfection that makes you unique! We are SO grateful for all of Shanell's hard work, professionalism, and awesome attitude! We adore every single photo she has captured for us and have loved every minute we've gotten to spend with her!

If anyone is looking for a photographer, pick Shanell and you won’t be disappointed! We hired Shanell for our wedding in Pigeon Forge, TN on December 4th, 2020. She was available from the beginning to answer any questions that would come up and was great with communication throughout the whole process. The day of our wedding, it rained all day. I thought for sure that pictures would be limited by the weather, but Shanell thought otherwise. Her and her second photographer, Danielle, were troopers and took some amazing photos of us in the rain. It was pretty darn cold, everything was soaked, and yet they were able to capture pictures that I will cherish forever! She made the experience so fun and made us forget about the weather conditions. Besides being willing to take pictures in the rain, Shanell does an awesome job at paying attention to the small details. The wedding album and even the USB drive we received were personalized with special touches that made them feel so special. Shanell is so great to work with and will do a fantastic job at capturing memories for any occasion. I highly recommend Shanell as a photographer and will definitely be making a road trip in the future to see her again for more pictures!

We got married this past July out in Colorado, and Shanell was a dream to work with! Very responsive, very flexible. Not only that, but our photos were gorgeous. We were lucky to have Shanell travel out and take such incredible photos. Shanell was professional even after the event...she stayed in contact with us through sending previews of the photos, editing them quickly, and giving us access to hundreds of photos. I recommend her services to absolutely everyone!

Shanell did our wedding pictures of our small intimate mountain (rainy) wedding and she was amazing! So sweet and wonderful to deal with, we would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!!!

I could not have asked for a better photographer! Shanell was awesome to work from the engagement pictures through to after the wedding. The pictures she took captured the day perfectly from the smallest details to the biggest moments. Pictures are the one thing you will have to remember all the craziness of your best day ever and if I had it to do all over again, I would choose her every single time!

Shanell is the best photographer out there! It was pouring rain and freezing cold on our wedding day and she somehow found a way to create magic out of absolutely nothing! Our pictures are breathtaking and so original. We are forever grateful for Shanell!

I cannot say enough great things about Shanell! She photographed our wedding day and the pictures were even better than I could have ever imagined. I originally saw her work in The Pink Bride magazine an was so blown away by her talent for capturing beautiful moments that she was the first vendor I booked after nailing down a venue. She was a blast to work with too! She had such a fun upbeat attitude, even though we had to deal with crazy traffic and an unexpected bus delay. It was the best day of my life and I'm so thankful I had Shanell to document it. My husband and I were so excited to receive the super cute photo package she sent us after the wedding. We'll cherish those photos forever! She even submitted a few pics to The Pink Bride that ended up being featured which gave us another keepsake that will last a lifetime. Thank you SO much Shanell! Trust me ladies, booking her will be one of the best decisions you make!!

Shanell caught every special moment that my husband and I wanted to treasure forever. She not only brought her own incredible ideas but always incorporated what we wanted as well. She is so incredibly easy to work with, on top of communication, and very quick to get your photos back to you. She did an amazing job of capturing those small, tender moments at our wedding and reception without making us feel like a camera was following us. As far as I’m concerned, Shanell is the only wedding photographer in Knoxville to hire!
*Also Shanell is an amazing boudoir photographer! I was a little nervous going into our appointment but she made me feel so at ease with not only her but my own body that I got up the nerve to do a full nude! After my experience I believe everyone should do a boudoir shot not only for their special someone but for themselves. You will have a blast!!!
