Beautiful Photos for a Beautiful Day!

Shillawna is a great photographer! My now husband is not one that just loves to be photographed, but Shillawna was great on helping us warm up to the camera and enjoy ourselves! She was always very prompt to respond to any questions or requests that I had, not to mention ORGANIZED, which I appreciate so much. She has a light and airy style to photography style which I love and is one of the reasons I went with her in the first place. She takes beautiful high quality photos. I really don't have any complaints! We had so many people compliment our photos. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

So blessed!

Shillawna is amazing, truly. I can't rave about her enough to do her justice. Her organizational skills paired with her creativity and insanely awesome work ethic sets her apart. Everyone wants gorgeous wedding photos. I got 'em. Off the bat, we FaceTimed as I live in Minneapolis. She and I talked for over an hour and it wasn't just about logistics. She wants to know you and makes you feel really pampered. She sent a questionnaire beforehand. It's genius because she already knew a lot about me before we FaceTimed. Shillawna helped me with my time table to get the best possible pics. My wedding was outdoors and she knew how the light was going to be, she even knew when the sun would be setting months beforehand. She said what times would work the best to do this and that to make my pictures the best. She takes a lot of photos and works really hard to get those perfect shots. She helped me in and out of her car and cranked the air conditioner for me to go to my first look location! She even let me use her powder! Then, I was surprised with a fireworks display over the pond and that gal plopped down in all kinds of angles and was going to town. She's also really smart with the way she handles the time table on the day of. She means business. Keep in mind, she'd been doing this all day, always had a smile on her face and knew what time the fireworks should start for the best pics. I am so pleased. She gives excellent direction too. She sent me a flash drive that is rose gold and some physical pics in the sweetest glass box. I'm so impressed with her. She is patient, vigilant and will do anything to please her clients. I feel blessed I had her. When you look at your wedding photos and start crying because they're so beautifully done, you know you've made the right choice 110%!

Shillawna is amazing!

Shillawna is the best! She went above and beyond working with us. She makes you feel incredibly comfortable and gives great direction. She was always quick to answer any questions I had and offer great recommendations. She was amazing coordinating with our other vendors and getting everyone on the same page. We loved her work, and the pictures we received were stunning! I definitely recommend hiring Shillawna!

Absolutely Amazing!

Shillawna is an AMAZING photographer! We contracted with her for our wedding and she brings so much more to the table than amazing photos! She was worth every penny and a huge bargain for all that she does. She and her second photographer Terri were so much fun on our wedding day. Both of with their sweet personalities had us relaxed and laughing all day. They kept me calm and everyone on schedule which resulted in the best day and unbelievable pictures. If you are considering Shillawna, BOOK NOW! Best decision of your wedding second to your spouse.

The Best Photographer

Looking for a photographer? Stop what you are doing and book Shillawna now! Shillawna is an amazing photographer. She will do whatever it takes to capture the perfect shot. Her fun, outgoing, personality makes every session fun! She knows how to make everyone feel comfortable behind a camera. I first met Shillawna when she was the photographer for my cousin’s wedding. I knew right then that I would book her someday for my wedding. In fact, we booked our wedding day based on what days Shillawna had available. Shillawna is very organized and quick with communication. She met with us in person to discuss a vision for our day and created a timeline for our wedding. Throughout our wedding, she kept us on track and relieved me of any stress. She truly cares about her clients and puts her heart and soul into what she does. When you book Shillawna for your wedding, she will be with you from beginning to end! Want to know another perk? She gives you rights to her photos so you can print them, a beautiful wedding album, 100 4x6 prints, and a flash drive with all your photos. I 100% will book Shillawna again to photograph future occasions!

Shillawna is the best!!

When my husband and I started looking for a wedding photographer, we really wanted someone who could take stunning outdoor photos as well as indoor photos. Many of the photographers had good outdoor photos but when it comes to indoor photos, they were inferior in quality. Shillawna’s photos on the other hand were absolutely stunning despite different lighting situations. When we had our initial consultation, we were blown away by Shillawna’s attention to detail and professionalism.

On the wedding day, Shillawna and her assistant Terri went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and were willing to arrive super early at our get-ready sites. She even made a timeline to ensure we get all the shots we wanted. She was so patient with all of our family members who speak very little English and took time to give directions and made everyone look great.

Shillawna is truly the best. You can tell she loves what she does by the amount of time and effort she puts in to get the most perfect shots possible. We’re so lucky to have her capture all of the special moments of our wedding day that I know we will look back on for years to come.

Shillawna Ruffner Photography Review

When looking for a photographer for our wedding, we wanted to find someone who would capture our love in a way we would cherish forever. Little did we know at the time we would find far more in Shillawna. From the initial meeting, my husband & I felt a strong connection to her. This connection helped us feel natural around her. The sense of calm, professionalism she exuded during the engagement session & wedding day is first class. Shillawna is extremely talented and goes above & beyond in order to capture each image. We are extremely lucky to have met and chosen Shillawna. We know we have found our photographer for life!!!

Shillawna did an amazing job on my wedding photos! It was freezing cold out and she was still able to make our photos look amazing even though I was complaining and probably difficult to work with! I would definitely recommend her to everyone!!!

Somehow I have been lucky enough to have Shillawna photograph my work on more than one occasion. I participated in a styled shoot she was photographing, and she has also photographed one of my clients weddings. Since I am a stationery artist, there is a lot of fine detail that is hard to capture in a two dimensional photo, but Shillawna never disappoints! Her calming energy is perfectly suited for a hectic wedding day, and her level of photography will allow any client to rest easy knowing the perfect moments were documented!

Shillawna is an amazing photographer who not only captures your wedding to create lasting memories but she acts as one of your closest friends and supporters on your wedding day. She creates a happy and fondly remembered environment for all of her clients. As a wedding planner, I love every opportunity to work with Shillawna as she is professional, her work is brilliant, and watching her interact with clients is so inspirational. She is a colleague in the wedding industry who always selflessly offers professional insight. We are lucky to have Shillawna in the Southern Indiana Region!
