Reviews of Something Minted Photography

Captured our memories perfectly!

Shelby was a kind and loving touch to our wedding day! She was very professional and communicative throughout the planning process, answering our questions, providing suggestions and helping us out along the way. Her approach to capturing moments and emotion rather than poses really put us at ease and resulted in stunning memories/photos. We enjoyed getting to know her during our engagement session and meeting some of her team during the big day! They took so many photos without us even knowing , paying attention to the small moments. Shelby coached us through the portraits to make them look natural and lovely. Very much recommend Something Minted.

So easy to work with!

Shelby is a true professional - my husband and I are planning our wedding from across the country, and she has made the process of planning photoshoots and the day-of itinerary a breeze. Although we haven't stepped in front of her camera yet, I am fully confident that we are going to love our photos since she has shared her expertise on how to prepare, what to wear, etc.

If you are looking for a vendor that is quick to respond to emails, incredibly kind, and will build up your confidence, you need to reach out to Shelby!

It's time to add to this review!
Shelby and her second photographer Whitney were amazing on our wedding day. Everything went to plan - they showed up on time, immediately got started on detail shots, and then we made our way to the venue. They helped us and our team pose for group photos, and everyone seemed relaxed and at ease in front of their cameras!
Brian and I are now looking through our full gallery and love all of our pictures. So many sweet moments were captured, and we are so excited to share them with all of our family and friends! We are so grateful that we trusted Shelby with our wedding!

Amazing Photographer!

Something Minted and team truly made our daughter's wedding a most memorable wedding/lifetime event. Shelby's calm manner and expert knowledge helped our daughter and son-in-law to be at their natural best during the shoot. Her ability to capture the special moments was amazing. We couldn't be happier with the wedding photos. We highly recommend this photographer.

More than just a true talent - a kind soul!

We asked Something Minted to take our engagement/moving announcement photos - and we were BLOWN away! I typically find myself behind the camera lens (rather than in front!), but Shelby made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! It truly felt like we were just three friends wandering around the beautiful PNW. We were guided through different poses, but we never felt awkward or stiff. She captured so many beautifully candid moments! We will treasure these photos forever!

Incredible Photographer!

We had the opportunity to work with Shelbeigh on an event at our farm and were absolutely delighted with her! We would love to work with her a million times more. She is incredible organized, responsive, calm under pressure and all around pleasant to be around. We were impressed with her direction to ensure no detail was awry or missed in each photograph she took. She is dedicated and gives 100% to each couple she works with. She calmly directs them on how to stand/what to do with their hands etc. in a way that is comforting to someone who may not love to be in front of the camera. Not only was she remarkable the day-of the event, but the photos are absolutely breathtaking! We could not recommend Shelby more highly and look forward to our next opportunity to work together!

Perfection

For someone who does not enjoy having their picture taken Shelby and her team did an amazing job capturing the perfect photos while also making enjoyable for someone like me. We could not have asked for a more supportive, helpful, and genuinely excited person to help capture our wedding and the photos turned out better then we could have ever imagined. If you don't chose Something Minted just know that you are without a doubt missing out on the best wedding photographer around!

Mother of the groom

Shelby is wonderfully warm and incredibly professional all at the same time, while anticipating every need of the bride and groom and their families. She is very organized, providing timelines and great little tidbits of information to keep everyone on track during the wedding planning including what to expect for the wedding day.
My son and daughter-n-laws photos are so beautiful! If you like dreamy romantic photos captured during lovely “golden hour” light, Shelby at Something Minted, will be perfect for your special day!

High praise to Simply Minted!

Shelby was absolutely amazing. I knew we picked the right photographer when my wife told me ‘The Wedding was absolutely perfect, and I think a lot of it was because Shelby made it so easy and comfortable.’ Shelby went above and beyond to ensure we knew what to expect, provided us with a timeline and check-ins leading up to the big day, and her photos turned out amazing! Icing on the cake? She pulled out a Polaroid during our golden hour photos for a couple of shots because she knew Erin and I have a tradition of taking one on each of our special days.

Perfect Wedding Photographer!

We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer!!! Shelby is professional, talented and incredibly sweet. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and personable way of taking photos made our day truly special. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her there to capture it all.

The perfect photography mentor!

I received the incredible opportunity to have Shelby mentor me as I developed my art and flow as a photographer, and I am overwhelmed with joy after our mentor session! Shelby went above and beyond to invest in my creative development last weekend. What a wonderful day filled with so many learning opportunities. My heart is at its fullest and I am so grateful that our paths have crossed the way that they did.

I wanted to emphasize my gratitude on the fact that she was able to touch base on all of my inquiries. I had so many questions, so I wouldn't have been surprised if we didn't have time to cover everything, but I'm so impressed that we did! Shelby is truly great at teaching!

I also had the opportunity to see Shelby in action. She allowed me to spend part of our mentor session shadowing her as she posed and interacted with a styled couple. The effortless way she directs clients is inspiring! She has a way of getting everyone in the room feeling comfortable.

THANK YOU for such an inspiring learning experience! What I'm able to take away from the session is priceless!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
