    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    I used Shillawna for our engagement session, and she will also be our wedding photographer as well. I chose Shillawna to be our photographer after speaking on the phone to her. Being a long distance away, I had to make all of my decisions nearly twelve hours away from her. Although Evansville has many great photographers, she felt very charismatic, kind, and understanding, even through the phone. She made everything feel so easy. I'm so happy with our choice. Before our engagement session, I was so nervous. She really made my fiancé and I feel comfortable despite all of the commotion around us. She listened to our ideas and brought them to life, and she also made sure we were comfortable with whatever she was suggesting. She's been a blessing to work with, and I'm really excited to see her work for my wedding as well. I have no doubts in her abilities as a photographer, and I would recommend her to anybody in the Evansville area!

    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!

    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!!!

    Shillawna and her team were excellent to work with! She was very professional, enthusiastic, and so much fun to be around. Our wedding was the first Indian wedding that she was shooting with her team and the outcome was AMAZING! She was very confident and worked so hard to make sure she captured all the right moments. She captured all the colors and emotions beautifully, we are thrilled with the photos. I highly recommend Shilllawna!!

    Working with Shillawna was a DREAM come true! We cannot say enough great things about her and her work! If you are looking for a photographer, stop looking and book her now! From engagement photos down to the very last minute at our reception, Shillawna was so attentive to making us feel comfortable, yet not missing a single detail of our day. She was very flexible and paid very close attention to creating my timeline as well as she responded to my emails and many questions with speed and great professionalism. I don't think she had worked with very many of my other vendors, but she went with the flow and worked with them so well with ease. Shillawna is seriously one of the sweetest vendors I have ever met, and I know we will absolutely be having her take photos of our family in the future. We would have been lost without her. We love Shillawna and her work!!

    Shillawna shot our daughters engagement photos and did her wedding photos and we couldn't be happier with them. From the first time we spoke until her leaving at the wedding she was an absolute pleasure to work with. We have the best photos and she was very prompt in getting us the photos. Her professionalism is evident in all the photos and she truly gets to know her clients. Our daughter has two dogs and Shillawna was more than happy to work them into the engagement and wedding photos which made the bride and grooms day all the better. If you are looking to hire a photographer - look no further. We had several special moments planned and she kept everything running on time and captured all of those moments. I could go on and on about this fantastic lady - but take a look at her photos and you will see why she is the best!

    Choosing Shillawna to do our engagement and wedding photography was one of the best/easiest decisions we made in while planning our wedding! Not only are we absolutely in love with all her picitures of our special day but we loved how comfortable and easy she was to work with. She provided tons of input and advice in areas where my husband and I had no idea what we were doing and then allowed us to customize and be creative in areas that we were passionate about. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful pictures and superb service!

    I have worked with Shillawna on 5 different occasions, and I keep going back. She is the only photographer I would let take my wedding photos. I even flew her out to CA to do it. My pictures had to be perfect, and they were. She is the best!

    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%!
