Great Photographer!!

Shelby was amazing to work with leading up to the day of the wedding and our engagement photos. She was very professional and so nice to everyone. The photos turned out better than we could expect and the process throughout the day was seamless. Her and Colby went above and beyond to help with some of the coordination for a "fake" first look, which was so helpful for me and took some stress off my shoulders. I highly recommend Shelby to anyone!

Engagement, Wedding, Family

Shelby took our engagement and wedding photos in 2015, we continue to use her for our family pictures years later! The pictures are crisp and clean, something that will look good 100 years from now when our great grandkids are looking at family memories!

Absolutely perfect

When my beautiful daughter got engaged, photography was one of our main concerns. We wanted the very best to capture these important moments. Shelby exceeded our hopes and dreams from day one. Starting with the engagement shoot, she did everything necessary to make the happy couple’s vision a reality and the photos were stunning.

The wedding involved a long flight to the other side of the country, which Shelby did not hesitate to take on. She acclimated quickly to a venue she had no experience with. She worked seamlessly with all the other vendors who quickly became HUGE fans of Shelby and her work. Shelby worked tirelessly throughout the event to make sure the entire bridal party was comfortable and enjoying every moment. The pictures are absolute perfection and we will treasure them forever.

From beginning to end, Shelby was a delight. She became like a member of the family! We have another daughter who just announced her 2024 wedding, and her number one request was to have Shelby Lea Photography cover all the photography needs. We wouldn’t dream of having a special family event without having Shelby right there to capture it! There truly is no one better.

Superb - professional and warm

Shelby has always been one of the highlights of our engagement shoot/ wedding. Her winning smile and concise professionalism paved the way through so many emotional and wonderful moments. Her pictures go way above and beyond what we expected and the delivery was on-time through a super easy to use platform.

Sweet & Talented

Shelby Lea photography captured our wedding beautifully. Her demeanor is pleasant, she was so patient with our wedding party, and handled off schedule photo requests like a pro with a smile on her faces. She had a great price point however her value is worth way more than her pricing. You will not be disappointed in working with Shelby.

Truly Best in Class!

Shelby is an incredible wedding photographer and brings the highest level of service to her profession. She goes above and beyond for her clients and cares so much (you’ll see! She’ll surprise you with her personal touches that she brings to the experience). She is bubbly and full of life yet her presence is very calming. Shelby made my husband (who doesn’t enjoy taking pictures) and I feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time. It poured rain (and even hailed) the entire day on our wedding day in Scottsdale so we had to make several last minute adjustments to the original plan. Shelby was extremely adaptable, composed, patient, prepared, and positive throughout the entire day which was everything I needed during a situation that could have easily been chaotic and stressful (but wasn’t thanks to Shelby). She made a game time decision (after consulting me of course) that it would be better to take all our pre-ceremony photos at the hotel instead of the venue because there was more outdoor coverage and indoor options for photos and I’m so thankful she made that call because we got so many diverse and breathtaking shots. Shelby even came prepared with umbrellas so I could get to the First Look location without getting drenched. Despite all the last minute changes she somehow managed to keep us on track with the timeline and capture every shot I had requested in advance (and then some). I asked for lots of candids and she followed that direction exceptionally well. I’m telling you she is incredibly talented and a master at what she does. All of our wedding photos are stunning and the only problem is I have so many favorites that I can’t decide which ones I want to print and frame in my home. Shelby was organized, a clear and consistent communicator and fast with getting the photos edited and back to us. I can’t say enough good things about her and I’m so grateful that she was part of our wedding day. Shelby and her husband Colby truly are the dream team. Shelby Lea is not only an unbelievably talented photographer but she is one of the sweetest and kindest people I’ve ever met. You’ll regret it if you don’t choose Shelby to capture your wedding day photos!!

The absolute BEST!

I cannot save enough about how wonderful Shelby & Colbe were to work with. They were absolutely amazing photographers and just overall great people in general. Before we got married I followed their work on instagram and it was a exactly what I wanted. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

Our favorite vendor hands down!!

Shelby has exceeded our expectations as a photographer. We met with her and her husband Colbe last November for our engagement shoot and the photos are stunning. We love the way she captured us and the desert landscape. Throughout this whole process Shelby has been responsive, professional, and genuinely kind. We were so comfortable during our engagement shoot that we have no doubt we will feel comfortable and in good hands on our wedding day. My fiancé and I were planning to get married this May and are having to reschedule due to the COVID19 pandemic. Shelby has been flexible and understanding with us needing to postpone, and I'm happy knowing she's able to continue with us during these difficult circumstances.
