    Amazing to Work With!

    I reached out to Shyann with a bit of an unconventional request - a photo shoot out at Three Chicks Ranch during my bachelorette weekend. I had wanted to do an hour shoot to capture memories with my bachelorette group around the property we were staying at. While not her usual assignment, Shyann was willing to work with me and I am so glad she did! She made it easy and effortless to be in front of her camera. We had the best time and will treasure these memories forever!

    Amazing to work with

    Shy was amazing to work with. I was nervous that it was going to be awkward and boring. Shy was goofy and fun... made all the difference.

    Talented & Experienced

    Shyann's photos speak for themselves but its so fun to actually be the one she is taking photos of! She shot my bridals and then our wedding day with second shooter, Lauren. I knew to just listen and go with Shy's ideas, suggestions, and tips which turned into amazing bridal photos that were so hard NOT to share until post wedding. Shy and Lauren were already familiar with the venue and we left it up to them on when and where to take photos. They covered eight hours of our day from getting ready, crying, hugging, dancing, laughing, and probably some falling. I cant wait to see our wedding photos but I have no doubt they'll be awesome! Don't hesitate to book Shy Laurel as your photographer, you wont regret it!

    Experience shows

    I met Shyanne at another wedding venue and just felt like we vibed ( sounds weird, but I go off connections). She was quick with email responses or calls, she has years of experience and it shows. If there is something you would like she is open, very sweet and I just love her photos.

    Shyann was amazing to work with! Her photographic style is so beautiful, and she captured our day perfectly, down to the little details. We will cherish having our memories captured so stunningly forever, and our families love the pictures too! Shyann was responsive and easy to work with at every stage of planning, and she put us at ease on our big day.

    Shyann is absolutely fantastic to work with! She is incredibly personal and has the incredible gift of taking the most beautiful photos. I found Shyann's website and was stunned at every breathtaking photo in her portfolio. From beginning to end over the course of a year of planning, our communication efforts went smoothly, she provided all the details needed and answered all my questions. She also worked with me in customizing our photo package.

    Shyann and her assistant Lauren went above and beyond and we are beyond the day of our wedding. They were such a joy to have around despite my nervous energy and uncomfortable weather. Their positive vibes paired with their energetic direction played a big part in the way our photos turned out. We aren't exactly the most photogenic people but they brought out the best in us for our wedding - 110%.

    For that, I am super super thankful, I wouldn't have it any other way except I wish I included the engagement session! We are thrilled and beyond happy with the outcome of our wedding photos. She's a hidden photographer gem in the Austin/San Antonio/New Braunfels area! Don't waste time and book her now!!

    Shyann from Dear Lovely/Shy Laurel Photography shot my bridal portraits and my wedding day. The pictures are BEAUTIFUL. Her work is amazing, and while she has a lovely style, she always asks for the “feel” you are going for with your day. My feel was romantic and airy, and that’s exactly what my pictures look like. She is also fun, personable, and great at making you feel comfortable during her sessions. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, as well as someone looking for a photographer for any other kind of photo session. Shyann’s wedding work is amazing, but so are all of her other galleries. Your engagement, Bridal, Senior, maternity, newborn, etc...sessions will turn out wonderful and you’ll have a great experience if you choose Shyann. I will use her as much as possible for any of my future photo sessions!

    Choosing Dear Lovely Photography for my bridal portraits and wedding day photos was hands down one of the BEST decisions I've ever made. My expectations were COMPLETELY surpassed-- Shyann and Tawny were so unbelievably amazing and as a duo they were unstoppable. One example of their unparalleled service started with the last minute timing of my bridal portraits which were only SIX DAYS away from my actual wedding date -due to the last minute alterations done on my dress. Shyann not only fit me in last minute but she drove over an hour in a RIDICULOUS rain storm and SOMEHOW made me appear like a beautiful goddess in the photos (even though I felt like I was going to look like a wet dog) and she SOMEHOW edited and returned them ALL to me within 24 hours so that I could have the opportunity to have them printed for my wedding, which I had NO expectation of at all. I was unbelievably stressed that day and the day of the wedding and she was so laid back and comforting, I think she's a low key therapist on the side. She even created a slideshow of the photographs from the wedding which brought EVERYONE to tears. I am as picky as they come and I cannot rave about my experience with Dear Lovely Photography enough--- and I have many opportunities to do so once people see their photos. I will undoubtedly continue to use them for any future photography needs and definitely look forward to doing so.

    Shy made my son & daughter-in-law's wedding come alive in the photos she & her assistant took. They were so easy & pleasant to work with & the day is perfectly preserved for us. She also captured plenty of magic in their engagement photos as well. Thank you, Shy Laurel!

    Shyann was AMAZING and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to capture my wedding day. She completely got my vision. She was extremely flexible, meeting us first at my Aunt's home for the getting-ready shots and then moving along to the venue. She trekked through wooded areas and adapted perfectly when my outdoor reception had to become and indoor reception. She captured important moments and moments that I didn't even realize would be important, and she did all of this with such a great attitude! Every detail was captured for us to remember for years to come, from flowers, cake and settings pictures, to beautiful couple, group and family shots, to incredible party/dancing and reception candids. I could not be happier and I'd book her again in a heartbeat . Basically, she's perfect and worth every penny plus more.

    I absolutely loved our photographer! This was the most important vendor to me and Shyann did an amazing job! We planned our wedding in 3 months and she fit us in to do an engagement session. She got us our pictures before the wedding so we could have a few to print out for the wedding! So fun and easy to work with! She did some really unique shots, along with the traditional ones. I can't wait to see our wedding photos b/c I know they are going to be amazing! Thank you so much again Shyann!

    Shyann is an extremely professional and talented photographer! I had some specific ideas on what I wanted for my wedding, and she was very flexible and understanding. I loved how personable she was, contacting and calling me herself and making sure I was a happy bride. She was also very patient, I have two sons who were apart of my wedding and she made sure she caught every moment with them as well! Lastly and one of the most important things is she is extremely talented! I feel like every photo she took was perfect! She caught every smile, laugh, hug and kiss. I don't know how she was in so many places at once, but she is amazing!!!

    Shy is great! She gets better with every shoot she does. Very friendly and laid back. Would have liked a few "traditional" (pose-like) shots in hindsight, but Shy does such a good job you kind of forget

    Shyann is an amazing photographer! If you like to have an artistic touch to your photography then I would definitely recommend her! She worked great with the guests, our family and friends, and the bridal party! She had great flexibility as to rescheduling shoots, hours for the wedding day, etc. Reguarding the responsiveness, she was quick to get back to me when I contacted her - but in the beginning it was difficult to reach her by phone b/c I did not save her number after she first contacted me.... so SAVE the number, its not on her website! :) I would DEFINITELY recommend her to any friend or family member that is in need of a photographer!

    Shyann did an amazing job with the bridal photos and engagement photos. I agree with the other reviewer and had hoped for a few more traditional photos but the final product really made up for it. The only negative thing I can say is that I wished she would have photographed the back of my dress during the bridals and had used more lenses during the session. Looking forward to my wedding photos though. Shyann is personable, works to get the shot, has a great eye, and works with you on your package (she has some great deals). You should check out here photo albums that she hand creates just for you and your hubby. They are amazing!
