Shane did such an amazing job at our wedding on July 17th, 2010. And my husband and I cannot recommend him enough. I'm also into wedding photography, so it was very hard for me to find someone who would be able to capture all aspects of our wedding in a truly unique style. Being in a role of a bride was completely different experience for me, yet with Shane and my second photographer's help I knew that we were in good hands. It was very easy to work with Shane, and I knew exactly what he had to go though, yet he executed all tasks flawlessly. He arrived on time, always smiled and kept our whole bridal party relaxed and in a good spirit. Shane followed our every step, and not a single moment was missed. He has a very easy working approach and I almost wanted him to tell me exactly what to do in certain instances, but he just let us enjoy our day, which is precisely how the wedding day should be like. If you still undecided, stop your search right here, Shane is really an amazing, full time dedicated photographer and I guarantee that you'd be blown away when you see your wedding pictures. He communicates and texts instantly, he uses high end digital cameras and lenses. We absolutely had an awesome time having Shane as our vendor! Thank you Shane, plus a million! You truly made our day magical and memorable and now I have wonderful images to show everyone and put them together in an album, which I know will be fabulous!! Thumbs up, and we thank you from the bottom of our heart!

Shane was wonderful! He knew exactly what he was doing-Thank god because I did not! He was very professional, courteous, and attentive. He was flexible with the requests for certain pictures that I wanted. The pictures were back so fast! Everyone loved them. Shane captured my wedding night beautifully. I will have such amazing pictures forever. I would highly recommend Shane!!!!

I can't write enough kind words about Shane Godfrey! We were married July 22, 2012 and Shane captured every special moment of our wedding. He is one of the most talented photographers I've come across and we are so happy/excited to have had him shoot our wedding. On top of taking the most beautiful pictures and being so talented; he is one of the nicest vendors to work with. He's very laid back and makes taking pictures a breeze on your wedding day. He lets the moment happen and doesn't force you to be something you are not. Shane's work will leave you breathless and is very reasonably priced. You will love working with him and the day you get to look back at all your wedding pictures is truly magical! I recommend Shane Godfrey Photography to all future brides! He's simply the best!

Shane is an excellent photographer! And he is an excellent wedding photographer. Both my husband and I felt very comfortable working with him from the very start. I had spoken with a couple other photographers before finding Shane, and I had felt there was pressure to purchase a larger photography package than would fit our needs. I never felt that from Shane--he is a soft sell, and I really appreciated that!

Selecting a photographer to capture your wedding day is an important decision. I wanted someone who would take great photos, which for me meant a bit of a journalistic approach, good candids, nothing too contrived. I wanted the photos to feel natural. I also wanted someone I would feel comfortable interacting with. Not only did Shane capture really great shots, but he was such a pleasure to work with!

Shane is also very flexible and will listen to what you want. For example, I once was told by a wedding photographer that he "doesn't do" the wedding photo where the entire bridal party simultaneously jumps in the air (you know the one). Although I didn't have a problem with forgoing that particular photo (I was, afterall, looking for something more natural), I knew I wanted to find a photographer who was a little more open minded. Anyhow, if you want the wedding photo where the entire bridal party jumps simultaneously in the air, Shane will capture it for you--gladly! Shane is a rare combination of being a great artist without pretensiousness.

I wholeheartedly recommend Shane and would hire him again in a heart beat. Thanks for doing such a great job and for making the whole process as enjoyable as possible. Cheers!

I was lucky enough to have found Shane and have do both my engagement photos and my wedding. As soon as I met with him and saw his work both myself and my husband new that he was the photographer for us! When we got our engagement pictures back they were so beautiful I couldn't wait to see how our wedding pictures would turn out. We recently had our wedding in June, got our pictures back recently and they are absolutely gorgeous. He captured our day so perfectly it is difficult for us to even choose which pictures we like the best. I would highly recommend hiring Shane to anyone!

We loved having Shane as our photographer! From the first meeting we felt relaxed with him and confident in his abilities. The pictures he took of us for both our engagement and wedding are amazing. He is professional, always willing to help if you need it, and was such a great addition to our day. Even our guests were commenting on how much they loved him after the wedding was over. He literally got along with everyone and made them feel and look relaxed in front of the camera. Just book him!

Professional & Highly Recommend

Shane was recommended by our vendor for photography. We wanted to work with someone who was familiar with the venue & photos were my husband & I's most important aspect of our wedding day. We wanted someone to capture every bit of our day & we couldn't have been more thrilled to work with Shane. He talked us through the whole process & leading up to the day, if I ever had any questions, he got back to me with all my questions answered. We wanted to do a first-look & he worked with our schedule to make sure we had enough time to get all those photos done so we could enjoy our cocktail hour with family & friends. Even though our wedding day was rainy, he even took us aside during the wedding to capture some great shots of just my husband and I outside when the weather lightened up. We are extremely pleased with Shane's professionalism & work and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer!

I don't think I realized how important the choice of photographer was until I spent my day with Shane and Meg. From the moment they stepped into my bridal suite I knew I had made the right choice. While Meg went to take shots of my soon to be husband getting ready, Shane started capturing the beginning of many detailed shots that documented this important day. He immediately put me at ease as he unobtrusively snapped away as the finishing touches were being put on our hair and make up. I don't want to bore you, so I am not going to detail the entire day. All you need to know is that we never stood around waiting for Shane to get the shot. His efficiency helped our day move along smoothly. He guided us to take traditional shots with the family, and then stunning unexpected shots of Andrew and I. The candid shots he took are full of life and movement, capturing not only the moments but the feelings behind them. He was easy going, receptive to our ideas, and even managed to wrangle 50+ members of my Mom's family for a family portrait during the reception. I am not only thrilled with the 1,000+ pictures I received online, but the promptness with which they were delivered. His shots are breathtaking, but his involvement in our day was even more important. Not only did he know the perfect backdrops for photos, but he can also crack a hilarious joke and help your bridesmaids figure out that bustle. You literally spend all day with your photographer and trust me when I say you want to spend it with Shane.

Shane is the best. He was the perfect photographer for our wedding. He was so easy to work with, laid back, very knowledgeable, with helpful suggestions but more than willing to go with the requests I had. Him and his second shooter Meg captured every shot, put everyone at ease, and truly captured our wedding day. There were so many photographs of every small detail, even down to the amazing shoes the groom's mother was wearing. I forgot that there were even pictures being taken throughout the evening! Shane also helped calm my nerves and kept the evening moving from moment to moment. The pictures were done and up for guests within a week. We are so happy with the photographs and continue to get compliments from our guests. Truly wonderful.

My husband and I got married about four weeks ago and our guests are still raving about our photographer, Shane Godfrey. We couldn’t have asked for a better portfolio of pictures. The only thing better than our wedding itself was being able to revisit all of those great memories through our wedding photos. As the most important day of our lives, it was very important to my husband and me to have pictures that really captured our big day. Shane made the process enjoyable and stress-free from day one. From our first interaction I knew that we were in good hands. My husband and I instantly felt at ease with Shane. Shane’s professionalism and efficient work ethic certainly did not go unnoticed by our guests. He captured every moment and exceeded our expectations. The greatest thing about Shane was his ability to blend in and yet still be there to snap all of those amazing pictures. Now we have an album full of all of those candid moments and we couldn't be happier!

The best photographer!!!! We can't rave enough about Shane! Shane truly made our wedding day! He is an amazing photographer and wonderful person. We took engagement photos with Shane and fell in love with him. Not only did he make the photo shoot completely stress free but the pictures came back quickly and were absolutely gorgeous. On the wedding day, everyone wanted to be friends with Shane and his partner Meg! He was able to fix my hair and veil! He is definitely someone you want to have by your side on your wedding day! Our wedding photos came back so fast!!! Unbelievable! The photos were perfect! I can't express how beautiful they were! He captured every guest and every moment. We felt like we were able to relieve our wedding day through the photos! We can't say thank you enough to Shane and Meg!!!!

A fabulous photographer who is able to capture exactly who you are as a couple

We found Shane Godfrey on a list of recommended vendors given to us by our venue (The Barn at Gibbet Hill) and decided to meet with him after seeing samples of his beautiful work online. He seemed to capture not only the just the event and the attendants, but the emotion behind what was going on. When we had our meeting, he showed us sample books of his work, wedding albums he had done and gave us access to an online photo collection from a previous wedding (which also gave us insight into what we would receive after our wedding). He emphasized that his goal was to illustrate the spirit of the couple and guests and that he typically worked on a loose plan of what photos he would take and work off what stood out to him the day of. That aligned perfectly with what we were looking for, as we did not want lots of planned shots or intend to work off a shot list. We loved how he even his posed photos looked natural, and the fact that he relied heavily on capturing candid moments, somehow managing to always make the people in them look good (which really takes some artistic genius). He works with a second photographer (her name was Meg and she also is incredibly talented), which was great on the wedding day because they were able to take “getting ready” photos of both of us (and our wedding parties) and also capture moments from the whole event from multiple angles. Around sunset Shane came up to us to let us know that it would be the perfect time to take some shots in the field near the barn. These “golden hour” shots are unbelievable gorgeous and definitely some of our favorites from the night. Yet, it’s hard to pick favorites when everything was captured so perfectly. Shane told us that between he and Meg they typically take around 7,000 - 8,000 photographs throughout the night and then send you 500 - 1,000; which shows you how hard they work both during the event and afterward. We are now selecting which photos to use in the wedding album that we ordered from him, and you know that a photographer must have done an amazing job when even your “narrowed down” list is more than double what an album can actually fit. Shane captured every moment that we wanted during our wedding, and so much more. We will look back at these photos for the rest of our lives and could not be happier with the way they came out. You will be making a wonderful decision if you decide to use him for your wedding!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Shane!! He put us at ease from the first moment we met him, which was great, because my husband usually hates having his picture taken. Shane is very professional, willing to work with you for whatever you need, and has no hidden fees! He was great at connecting with all our guests as well, and got lots of great candid shots, in addition to gorgeous traditional portraits. We have gotten SO many compliments on our pictures. Not only are they beautiful, but they really capture all the emotions of the day! And to top it all off, all his packages are a great value!
Bottom line: Hire Shane now!!

We had Shane's colleagues, Jared and Rob shoot our wedding and they were phenomenal! They were organized and efficient in getting the formal photos and blended easily into the crowd for candids. Our photos were available quickly and are absolutely beautiful! The whole process was easy and enjoyable, from the first meeting with Shane to the numerous emails back and forth and finally the finished product. I would highly recommend Shane Godfrey Photography!

Shane was so wonderful to work with!! Before the wedding, we met with him to get to know him and tell him about ourselves and what we were looking for in our photographer. We told him of our vision for our wedding and the photographs of it and we instantly connected. He was on the same page as us in regards to providing more candid shots, which we had asked for, but he also knew the need to have the standard formal pictures for the families. He provided a level of service and professionalism that was beyond our expectations. He was very fair with his pricing and was extremely fast in getting us our proofs (he knew how eager we were to look through them). I had many guests of my wedding comment to me about how great he was to work with, and have had more compliments on the pictures then I ever would have thought. We would recommend Shane to any friends or family getting married!

We are so happy we chose shane for our wedding!!! He was great throughout the whole process from the initial consult, to the engagement photos to the big day. He immediately makes you feel comfortable and he is so easy going. Having been in several weddings I have worked with many other photographers and none of them even came close to being as great as shane is. He takes tons of photos, you get rights to all of them which is great, and every photo is beautiful. I am the type who hates myself in every photo - and I love every picture that shane took of us on our wedding day - which says a lot!! Thank you shane!

Choosing a photographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make while planning your wedding, since the pictures will be the lasting memories. Long story short, Shane and his partner Meg were just outstanding.

We loved his photojournalistic style after coming across his portfolio online, and as soon as we met it was obvious to me that he should be our photographer. Shane is friendly and easygoing but extremely professional as well. He was always easy to get in touch with when needed.

The day of the wedding he and Meg just did their thing with no fuss. Showed up where and when they were supposed to, were even helpful with non -photo related things and keeping the day on schedule. My husband and I usually hate having photos taken but it they made it very comfortable. They actually felt more like fun friends at the wedding rather than photographers! They were so kind to everyone. I had many glowing comments from guests about Shane and Meg afterwards, too.

And the best part? Our photos are breathtaking! Shane and Meg got all the requisite ceremony/bridal party/family pics but my favorites are all the little candid moments they captured with ourselves and our guests. I can look through the photos and I actually feel like I'm at the wedding again. I feel silly but i cant stop looking at them :) We really treasure our photos.

I can't recommend Shane Godfrey photography highly enough. Book them now - it will be the best decision you make!

Thanks Shane and Meg!!

I absolutely cannot say enough great things about Shane and Meg! They were the best thing we booked for our wedding day and engagement photos. We did some engagement photos in Houston that did not go so well, luckily Shane was available on a last minute trip up north to save the day. His laid back demeanor is something that is so calming on what can be a very stressful day. He and Meg are very professional and extremely efficient, there was not a minute wasted with them. I would HIGHLY suggest using their services!

When looking for a wedding photographer, I was initial very nervous. I wanted the pictures to look perfect and was afraid as I am a camera shy person. After I met Shane, I was immediately comfortable. Shane is relaxed and flexible, he remained unobtrusive during our ceremony and reception; but even more importantly he seemed to get absolutely everything on film. There was a very quick turnover between the wedding and when I and all my guests got to see the photos (less than two weeks) and I have received rave reviews since. The pictures came out absolutely beautifully and I could not imagine being happier with my wedding photos. Thanks Shane!!!

If you are looking for a all around amazing photographer, you should work with Shane. He is extremely easy to work with pre wedding and has so many good suggestions that as a novice to wedding planning, came in so handy to me. On our wedding day he made taking all of our family photos and wedding party photos seem so easy and so quick without forgoing quality! Now that I have received the final product, I couldnt be any happier with the pictures. He not only captured all of the important moments of our wedding but all the tiny wedding details that were so important (not to mention time consuming) to my husband and I to have displayed at the wedding. I would recommend Shane to all my friends and family to use for their wedding day.

Shane was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. It's safe to say I did a LOT of research(/stalking) before we met with Shane before booking him. We knew that he'd be great to have at the wedding after our wonderful (and fun!) engagement photos, but I didn't realize how amazing the photos would actually be! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and Shane conveyed the mood, atmosphere, and experience through still frames...incredible. When we were sent the photos to download (less than two weeks after the wedding), I was so impressed with the various angles and styles. I had no idea Shane and Meg were even around most of the time (but when they were, it was such a happy and fun experience--they were like guests!) It was an extremely humid day (not a bride's favorite way to start a day), but Shane kept us calm, kept the mood light, got strangers out of the way, and got us through the necessary outdoor photos quickly so I could get back to the AC...:) And now to plan more events so I can hire Shane Godfrey Photography once again!

Beautiful pictures!
Shane photographed my wedding in May 2010 and he did a fabulous job. Not only is he professional and amazingly easy to work with, but the quality of his work is second to none. He was able to capture every moment while being completely unobtrusive. I would thoroughly recommend him. If you are looking for a top quality photographer who will listen to what you want and deliver then look no further!

Shane Godfrey is the best of the best. When my husband and I first met Shane to discuss our wedding and see if he was a good fit, I instantly knew he was the perfect person to capture our day. He was so easy going and kind and through our conversation I realized how smart and creative he was. I knew that on such a big day filled with so many different emotions, Shane would put me at ease and make the pictures one of the easiest and enjoyable parts of the day!

The day of our wedding couldn't have gone better. Shane was so easy to work with, as was Meg. He knew that my husband and I wanted to be a part of our cocktail hour and finish our pictures beforehand, and we got all the shots done in plenty of time. Shane makes the process feel very natural. During the reception, Shane and Meg were all over the dance floor getting great shots of the party. He never pulled us away from our reception to get more pictures and we were able to be a part of every minute of our wedding.

Just over a week after our wedding, the prints were posted. I was overjoyed with how the pictures came out. Everyone I have talked to that has looked at them has said the same thing: they tell a story and they capture every moment you would want to remember. I've had so much fun going through them and re-living that day. Shane's vision and skill is top-notch and he is an absolute professional. My husband and I are so glad we chose Shane to photograph the most important day of our lives, and are so happy we have his wonderful photographs to remember it forever. We highly recommend Shane Godfrey!

Amazing photos that bring us back to the moment

We could not be happier with our engagement and wedding photography done by Shane and his partner Meg. We did our engagement photos on the Boston Esplanade a year before the wedding and had never done anything like that before, especially in public. Shane immediately put us at ease, knew the best way to pose us at different locations, and worked the light perfectly over the hour as it changed from somewhat cloudy to a brilliant sunset. The engagement photos came out exactly as we were hoping. On the day of the wedding, Shane and Meg captured a great combination of detail shots, classic "wedding portrait" shots, and candid expressive pictures that really bring us back to the moment in time. We were slightly worried about our venue's somewhat low light (Boston Waterworks Museum) during a rainy evening causing the technical quality of the photos to be less than ideal, but we were very pleasantly surprised by how they turned out both in print and digitally. The completed wedding set (~1000 images) were edited and turned around in about 3 weeks for our June wedding, which we were honestly shocked by. We have received so many compliments on the finished images from friends and family! Thanks Shane and Meg!

My husband and I got married in April and could not have been happier with the services of Shane Godfrey Photography. Shane had come recommended to us by a friend who hired him for her wedding. I knew from the moment I looked at the pictures on his website that I wanted him to photograph ours. After meeting with him to discuss the details my husband and I knew there was no doubt that we had to have him. Originally the price for his services were a little out of our budget, but he was willing to shoot the wedding without a second photographer to work within our budget. The results turned out so well that you would never know there wasn't a second photographer.

From the first meeting all the way through the process of photographing the wedding and getting the pictures on the website Shane was a fantastic mix of laid back and complete professional. During the ceremony he got amazing pictures but was never in the way, for the formal pictures he was efficient but never demanding, and during the reception he was a ton of fun and captured some great moments. Because we had a day wedding we planned to do have an activity after the wedding. We went bowling at a nearby bowling alley with our bridal party and many guests. We mentioned this to Shane during the reception (forgot to tell him ahead of time) and he came for a bit and took some of the best pictures of the night.

Overall I could not be more satisfied with the event or the pictures that we got from it. If you are looking for a great experience and amazing pictures to remember it by, go with Shane Godfrey Photography. Our wedding guests cannot stop talking about how amazing our photographer was and everyone I have shown our pictures to is incredibly impressed.
