    Amazing Photos!

    Shaylla did a phenomenal job! She has such a great personality and kept us smiling. She also knows the perfect poses - I never know what to do when taking photos and Shaylla was able to tell us exactly how to pose. We got our photos really quickly and I can’t stop looking at them, they’re so gorgeous!

    The best photographer in the CSRA...Thank you Shaylla for capturing our wedding day so beautifully.

    Shaylla is THE BEST! She was a dream to work with throughout the whole wedding process, and helped me stay relaxed and comfortable throughout our entire wedding day. Hey eye for detail is impeccable and she captured candid moments beautifully. Its hard to put into words just how thankful and appreciative I am for her and for the amazing photos she took. I could go on and on but I'll make it short and sweet- If you want a talented, personable, funny, creative, and genuine person to be responsible for your wedding pictures (I'm sure everyone does) Shaylla is your girl!

    Absolutely amazing, above and beyond what i asked for

    Shayla went above and beyond my expectations as a photographer. She made us feel so comfortable and helped us genuinely laugh as a group. When we needed help with something that had nothing to do with her job at all, she was right there to take care of it. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer especially for weddings! She is absolutely amazing.

    Great experience for my wedding. She had to travel probably about 1.5 to the venue and she was there early and was able to do before pics as I requested. She has a fun personality which allowed for everyone to loosen up to get some great pics. I fell in love with her pics because of her editing skills and love for natural lighting photos. Will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for family pics.

    AMAZING experience with a one of a kind photographer.

    Shaylla was an amazing and extremely helpful friend on our special day. I am so grateful I was able to have her do my wedding photos. She went above and beyond in ways that were not even asked of her. I would recommend Shaylla to anyone looking for a photographer. I am blessed to be able to refer to Shaylla as a friend now, not just my photographer.

    Boudoir and Wedding Photos

    My experience with Shaylla was absoultley amazing! I couldn't have asked for anyone better! She is extremely talented and so fun to work with. She went above and beyond to help me in any way she could! With being my wedding day I was a nervous wreck, she was there for me 100% not only as a photographer but as a friend and made things so much brighter. She also did my boudoir session as well , with it being my very first one, I was extremely nervous , shaylla jumped right in and turned music on and made me feel so much more comfortable! I would highly recommend this photographer for any of your photo needs !!!

    I seriously can not recommend Shaylla enough! She truly is more than just a photographer, she goes above and beyond in everything she does. My entire wedding party and family LOVED her! She knows how to capture the perfect moments. And when I began to freak out about my dress zipper clasp falling off, she came to the rescue and hurt her fingers to fix it for me! I’ve been using Shaylla since me and my now husband have been together and we both just adore her. If having a photographer at your side that is personable and professional, do not hesitate to use Shaylla. I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for me on my wedding day. ❤️

    Can I say AMAZING!!! If you are looking for a photographer I 110% recommend Shaylla and I think my family could say the same, everyone loved her! My day did not start off the best, because it had started raining and I was freaking out about the ceremony and the pictures, but Shaylla continued to help keep my head up and keep things positive! When she got to our wedding I felt like things automatically clicked and she fit in like she was one of the girls! I even had family asking if I had knew her previously as a friend before the wedding, because how perfectly she fit in! She's is so funny, sweet, and any other loving adjective under the sun! Not only was she a wonderful photographer, but also an awesome friend the day of our wedding... and not to mention her awesome dance moves at the reception! ;) And to the glory of God the rain let up after the reception to get some beautiful pictures from outside and the few I attached below I got the very next day after the wedding! What, what! I was so excited, because as you can see she did a spectacular job and she was super quick to give us sneak peaks! If you choose One Love Photo + Video you will not regret it!

    Shaylla started taking our Christmas pictures 2 years ago, and she was super sweet and knew all the right posses to do for us, and was easy to work with, knew how to make us feel comfortable. She then shot our engagement pictures then to our wedding, and she’s been the easiest person to work with and very responsive and very quick with her work.

    Shaylla is the biggest regret and only disappointment of the wedding

    Please don't make the mistake I made in hiring "One Love Photography and Video..."/Shaylla Emily Photography/Shaylla Smith Photography-- not sure what the business's name is. Shaylla has failed to fulfill the contract she created and at this point has completely stopped responding to my attempts to contact her for the past 3 months.

    We hired her because her prices were low--but as many people say: if it looks like it's too good to be true, it probably is. It's incredibly unfortunate that I became a victim of her lies, inabilities to be a professional, and complete a contract.

    It's saddening to know how much she's managed to sour this important and exciting experience of our wedding photos. Our contract shows we hired 2 photographers for our big day. The night before, I received a text from her the second photographer "was ill" and there was no other mention of how we would be compensated for this last minute change. She's only ignored our inquiries about the 2nd photographer and fails to acknowledge our concerns and our contract.
    Not only did she fail to provide a second photographer for our wedding day, she failed to deliver the minimum number of photos listed in the contract. We've specifically requested in our photographer questionnaire and directly to Shaylla that we want FAMILY portraits and that FAMILY portraits are incredibly important to us. After multiple attempts to contact her over a month after our photo due date, Shaylla's response was it that the family portraits I've been asking for "were not up to standard" and she wouldn't release them. Beyond that weak excuse, how would photos taken in a series/back to back be that poor in quality that we wouldn't be able to have a family photo on our wedding day? It's disheartening that Shaylla, as a mother and wife, can't understand the importance of family pictures.

    We've continually seen Shaylla post new clients' photos on her Facebook page over the past few months. Since we've pointed out multiple times that we see she's active on social media and that we haven't heard back from her, she has now blocked us from her public page. I believe this is in an attempt to "ghost" me and run from her issues? I don't know what goal she was trying to accomplish but it was not well thought out.

    I sincerely wish you will take my warning and not hire Shaylla--you will only be asking for a headache and heartache. Do not fall into the trap she's created for us and put your resources towards a photographer that will deliver what you paid for. I can't emphasize enough how negative this experience has been and I wouldn't dream any bride or client of hers to be cheated and robbed of such a precious time in their lives.

    It saddens me that there are people in the world, like Shaylla, that take advantage of others like she's done to us.
