Everything you want to know!
DETAILS
I love what I do, I love the people I work with, my clients become my friends and I am so incredibly thankful for that. I am not the quiet sit in a corner type, I am loud, outgoing and slightly obnoxious, but what I have learned over the last few years on this journey is by me being myself during the time spent with my clients is how I get them to be themselves. So, if you are looking for the reserved photographer to show up and tell you to say cheese then I may not be your girl and that’s totally okay, but if you want to gain a friend who you can have an experience with and have beautiful memories to take from it than id love to hear from you!

Shelby photographed my engagement photos and my wedding in February 2024. My husband and I just got our wedding gallery and we are SPEECHLESS. They are absolutely stunning, and everything we were hoping for.
Shelby made the entire process so easy and fun. We have never done professional photos and she made us feel so comfortable during the engagement shoot and our entire wedding day. On top of her just having an amazing eye for shots, her editing is just flawless. So over the moon with having her on our wedding team!

If we could give Shelby 10 stars we 100% would. We met up for dinner a few months before the wedding and I felt like I had known her for years. She is the SWEETEST person you will ever meet!!! She did such a fantastic job on our wedding photos I can’t stop looking at them. We gave her a list of photos we wanted and she got ALL of them. She makes taking photos fun especially on a crazy day like your wedding day! My husband, who is all about photos, is blown away at how wonderful these photos are. My husband prefers candid photos and she has such an eye for those!!! Shelby always gets in touch with you within a reasonable amount of time, she’s so patient and just an overall amazing person to work with. I can’t wait to have babies and use her as our photographer. We love you, Shelby!!!

The BEST of the best!! Shelby photographed our wedding in November of 2023 and did an absolutely amazing job. She captured our day perfectly. We can basically relive the day through her photos. She captured everything we asked for and so much more. She is very responsive and made sure she got to know us so she could deliver the perfect gallery! She was punctual and made sure we stayed within our timeline that we agreed on before the day of the wedding. I had a large wedding party and family and she was able to wrangle them all for photos! She was so calm and understanding through the whole process. We told her we were awkward photo takers; she took that as a challenge and delivered flawless pictures!! I would 1000% recommend her for any wedding!
KIND WORDS

What I have curated in my wedding photography style is so special to me, I have a directive approach, I am very hands-on with my couples... I love capturing the candid, playful moments with a mix of modern + editorial. At the end of the day, I want to capture your love in its purest form throughout the wedding day - with all of the moments from start to finish. It's within the chaos of the wedding day that your love can have a chance to really shine bright. I can't wait to learn all about you!
My Style
My travel expenses vary depending upon different locations.
The cost for traveling to and from the destination as well as possible accommodation and meals is very individual.
If you are traveling for your marriage, you can always discuss your ideas and requirements with me.
I will be happy to create a customized package specially tailored for you.
I recommend that you also opt for a second shooter if 100+ guests are attending your wedding day. This is the best way if you don't want to miss out on any candid moments or special details. For example, when we are off capturing stunning bridal portraits, the second shooter can take candid pictures of your guests!
What are your travel costs?
This is my first time taking photos. Any advice?
Do we need a second shooter?
HELL YES! I love to travel, I mostly travel throughout the east coast but I'm game to go WHEREVER your love story takes me!
Are you available for travel?
After a phone call meeting, I will put together an individual wedding package, where I can specifically address your wishes, needs, and ideas.
As soon as I have received your signed contract and the 40% deposit for your wedding, your big day will be reserved for you.
First off, congratulations on taking the most difficult step! There really is no pressure whatsoever in front of my camera. I work with you to find a comfort level that makes your photo session feel more like a day out with a friend. But, I know someone will say, "that's not really advice" so heres one for my people in the back, confidence is key. So on the day of your session I encourage you to look your best so you can feel your best. If that means wearing a new outfit with a fresh haircut, or getting your nails done - by all means do it. I want you to feel your best because that personality will reflect in the photos. Ultimately my job is to guide you and thats exactly what i am going to do!
