About

My dream couples desire romantic, ethereal, and effortlessly sophisticated wedding portraiture. They entrust me with one of the most important days of their lives and never look back! I want my couples to be in love with my work. I want my style to deeply resonate with their own vision for their day and it feels like we were meant to be. I specialize in seeking the sun and natural light to create the light, airy and bright happiness that encompasses your wedding day! My posing is natural and real with so much fun in between! I want my couples to remember their day as they first envisioned it. I am based in Albuquerque, New Mexico and have been privileged enough to travel across the US and Internationally to document love stories!

The best ABQ and New Mexico has to offer. Shayla was hands down the glue that kept our wedding together. Her husband Andrew also runs Strike a Pose Photo Booth. Get them both. Thank me later.

HIGHLY recommend Shayla Edenfield. When my fiance and I met with her, she was warm, friendly, and kind. I wanted to incorporate some of my culture into the photographs and she was excited and thoughtful about it. Shayla was the photographer for our engagement photos and we could not have chosen anyone better. She coordinated hair and makeup for the day and was incredibly accommodating to us despite the horrible and unexpected weather. My hair and makeup weer beautiful. I cannot wait to see the rest of our photos. Thank you to everyone that made that day special for us. I will be sure to call Shayla in the future for more photography needs!

My husband and I met Shayla for coffee because we loved her photos and when we met her we instantly booked her because we just like her so much. You instantly feel like you're talking to a friend because she is so thoughtful and caring. We booked Shayla a year and a half before our wedding and through that time she would send me pictures of things that she saw, which made us feel like she was always thinking about our upcoming day. I went to her for almost ever referral because she is so well connected and has such great contacts. There are two things that stand out the most to me about Shayla, the first is that she is so real and funny, that I felt totally comfortable in front of the camera, which means our photos are genuine and make them that more special. The second is Shayla was the MVP of my wedding, she helped get my veil on and kept us running on time. She is amazing and I will forever go to her for photos.

Shayla shot my wedding this past May. I have never been so impressed with a service provider. Shayla is everything a client should want-- communicative, kind, flexible, and an excellent work product. She spent extra time on the details of the wedding and put together a beautiful album made in Italy. It is truly the keepsake of a lifetime. If you engage Shayla to photograph your wedding, you will truly have the best of the best.

Shayla is one of the most outstanding photographers in Albuquerque. Her eye for beauty, professional demeanor and her positive attitude makes her one of a kind. She has photographed my most important memories from engagement to maternity photos and I am more impressed with every shoot. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and will use her from now on. Can’t say enough good things about her!!

Shayla is an amazing photographer. Her style and creativity really made our wedding day. I highly recommend her. We had to manage out of town members of the wedding party, a long didtance bride and groom, and westher issues we could not control. Shayla did not miss a thing. We have the most beautiful wedding album from our day. I will have this album for my whole life.

Shayla is amazing!!! I got married August 2017 and booked her October 2016. I literally messaged her and asked what days in August she wasn't available so I wouldn't book our wedding that day because I wanted her and only her to capture our special day. She was so helpful along the way! And day of went perfect. We had the 3hr package and it was perfect for us. We got all photos we wanted/asked for. My husband HATES photos and she made him feel so natural and comfortable during our time with her. Our photos are amazing! I show everyone our photos and want everyone to use her. Worth every penny! I give her 100 out of 5 stars, she was awesome! definitely recommend her!

My husband and I had a destination wedding in Santa Fe, NM, and booked Shayla because of the wonderful reviews, and we could not be any happier! Shayla was super communicative from the beginning, which put me at ease during the months leading up to the wedding. Shayla is a fantastic photographer with a super bubbly personality that will make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera, and she is more than happy to accommodate any requests.

Communication before the wedding is everything and Shayla welcomes that! We did not make ourselves available for very much communication and she did an amazing job in spite of that!

We booked Shayla back in 2013 for our 2014 wedding. From the moment we met her I was instantly impressed with not only her photography but also her kind and welcoming personality. She has the ability to make you feel like you've known her forever which was very important to me for a photographer. I can not imagine taking photos on one of the best days of my life and feeling awkward with the person behind the camera. On the day of my wedding she went above and beyond to help me organize once we were at the church and even lent me lipstick when mine was the wrong shade. We have continued to use Shayla for photos through the years, most recently for family Christmas pictures. She always open to any ideas I have and continues to impress us with the end results.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
