About
Hello, I am Shanell and I absolutely love what I do! I am a mom and and a full time hybrid photographer who has a dream and desire to make every wedding and session the best and better than the last. I strive to keep things creative and not boring. Mentoring with some of the best in this business, I push myself to grow and learn everyday. I am always looking for the opportunity to capture something great for my clients and do what I can to tell your story. One's wedding day can be stressful, but working in this industry for over 11 years doing hair and makeup I had a good idea of that before joining the photography side of things. That experience and knowledge has helped me to help my brides and grooms relax and just enjoy their day. I want all of my clients to have fun, be natural and engage in the ones they love so that they can have the most amazing, raw photographs possible. Nearly a year ago now I decided to take a leap into shooting not only digital photography but shooting film, that is right "old School" film! Film is beautiful, timeless, and authentic. The look of film is like no other, looking romantic and soft with the best skin tones and greenery you've ever seen! The brides that book me fall in love with the look and feel of film almost as much as I have, which makes me giddy. Shooting film has allowed me to look at photography in such a different and real way and I can not wait to photograph the next wedding or session, always seeing my work improve and be bettered by film. I am a Hybrid shooter however so no worries there, I have the best of both worlds!! All digital images that are shot will be matched to look as close to the film shot. Light and airy, romantic, fun and authentic is the best way I would describe my work. The brides I love to work with are fun, loving, and enjoy life. My brides are timeless and classic but excited for new things, also are excited to be friends! I love to chat with my brides about their big days and often help to bring their vision to life, being told I should do wedding planning as well has been mentioned a few times, lol as well. I have great vendor relationships and am always excited to recommend them to my brides to help the process run as smooth as it can!
