About

Bright & Timeless Wedding Photography for the Sincere and Kind-Hearted Couple. Serving the Greater Cincinnati Area & Beyond.

Since 2009, Shelby Street Studios has been capturing portraits, details, and moments from the most important day in our clients' lives. Our approach focuses on these three pillars of the wedding day – making sure that when you look back on your photos, you can fully immerse yourself in the day as it was.

My name is Rachel Braswell, and I as the owner and lead photographer of Shelby Street Studios, I love creating classic images in a way that allows you to feel comfortable and to enjoy the experience. I aim for every session and wedding to be professional but also personable, sophisticated and sincere. It’s the moments, the emotion, and the details that are important on your wedding day – and it’s my job, my privilege, to capture them all.

We Love Rachel!

We are beyond thankful Rachel captured our wedding day and engagement photos. Her style exudes timeless class. Our wedding day was rainy and overcast but her incredible skills made the day look bright and beautiful. Rachel is also the calming presence you will need on the wedding day. She treats you like a friend, telling you if your hair is out of place or the groom's shirt isn't straight! She's also able to politely manage the room to get all the family and wedding party photos in an efficient timeline.

It's been two years since our wedding day, and I look back on our photos with such gratitude for Rachel. She captures all the photos you want of your wedding day, and even grabs moments you didn't realize you'll want years later. She took a sweet candid of my grandfather hugging me that has become one of my favorites since he has recently passed away.

Rachel's sincerity shines through in her photos, and again we cannot thank her enough for being our photographer!

Best of the best

There are truly not enough great things to say about Rachel! Rachel was the absolute best decision we could have ever made as our wedding photographer. She is kind, sincere, and SO talented! She took the time to get to know us and made us feel so comfortable right off the bat for our engagement photos. She then helped tremendously with our wedding timeline, ensuring that she captured every aspect and detail that was important to us. She is so organized and responsive. She gave priceless advice and insight on how to make our day absolutely perfect-and she made it happen! We could not be happier with our photos that capture everything we wanted and more. We will sincerely cherish the photos and Rachel's talent forever!

Great wedding photographer with memorable photos

Rachel captured our wedding day perfectly. The photos were bright and captured the happiness we felt on our special day. She is very kind, organized, willing to answer any question, and manages an assistant photographer well. Having an engagement session where we learned about photography posing made photos day of less stressful. Rachel's wedding planning guide included every detail and was the basis of our wedding planning/organization. We appreciated how Rachel coordinated with our other vendors and venue to help the day run smoothly. Our friends and family also loved the photos. We were able to access and share our photos very easily.
