About

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

All my life I have been interested in people, art & photography. As a photographer, I am always looking for the most romantic light and capturing real moments. I am a native Missourian, born and raised in Columbia, Missouri. Two art degrees at the University of Missouri and training at the Brooks Institute Photography in Santa Barbara, California has given me such an amazing background in visual & technical arts. I spent 10 years in Santa Barbara shooting gorgeous weddings and I am so excited to be back in Missouri to continue the adventure. I am looking forward to learning more about you both as a couple and how you plan to celebrate such a fabulous day! Please visit my website and blog for more information. Feel free to call or email me as well!

Terrific Experience

Shelly is a joy to work with - very professional and responsive. She was available during the preparation and planning stages of the wedding. When there was the possibility of rain, Shelly spent time scouting out alternative options. Fortunately the weather cooperated and the pictures from my daughter’s wedding were absolutely beautiful. Shelly knows well how to use ambient lighting and backdrop to frame beautiful portraits. She’s quite creative with getting great poses as well. The picture quality was so outstanding it was difficult choosing pictures for prints and enlargements because they all came out so well. I highly recommend Shelly Vinson to anyone looking for a professional photographer!

Beautiful Photos

Shelly is the absolute best! She does a wonderful job with taking great pictures and getting views you didn’t even think of. She listens to what you want and helps you get everything organized so the photos are streamlined. She always goes above and beyond and you will get your money’s worth.

Shelly is absolutely amazing! She was responsive since Day 1 and provided the best service that I could possible imagine to me and my fiance for our engagement photos last month. We are the most awkward couple in front of the camera, and she made us both feel very comfortable! Not only that, but the pictures turned out amazing. If I could use her for my wedding, I absolutely would. You cannot go wrong with her :)
