An absolute dream!!

Shelley captured our day absolutely perfectly! her photos are already filling our home! She made us feel so comfortable the entire day and had a way of capturing moments without us even knowing there was a camera. I could not say enough wonderful things about her. We were out of town and did not meet until the day of our wedding, but she kept in close contact with us every step of the way with touch points to make sure she had everything organized for the day of and what all we wanted photographed. She kept us on schedule the day off, but was so flexible and accommodating to anything we may have wanted. so thankful for you Shelley! We are so thankful for you!

Calming presence & beautiful photos

Shelley was a delight to work with and was (thank the lord) incredibly flexible for our Memorial Day Weekend 2023 wedding in coastal North Carolina. We experienced unseasonably strong storms that weekend that led us to push our wedding back by one day to keep our guests and vendors safe, and she rolled through the chaos right along with us. Our photos were beautiful and her partner even added some drone footage which are now some of our favorite photos from the weekend. I wholeheartedly recommend booking Shelley for her calm and professional demeanor and stunning photos. Rain or shine (or 40+ mph monsoon), she’s got you 😊

The best photographer.

We could not have asked for a better photographer. We knew from the second that we started wedding planning that choosing the perfect photographer was going to the most important decision we could make. Shelley did not disappoint. From the second we hired her she worked to ensure that the logistics aligned with the best photos and seemed to capture all of the many moments effortlessly. Moreover, Shelley and her team captured exactly what we had hoped - the many moments of the day that are often not caught in posed pictures, the happiness that saturates every moment of the event, and the many, many details. Our wedding day was one of our happiest days yet and her work has ensured we will never forget it. You will not regret hiring her for any event.

Josh and Shelley are the perfect team! They get the most amazing shots and are totally fun and friendly to work with. They both took the time to greet me and were polite in asking if I had any rules about taking photos during the ceremony. It is very clear they are passionate about their work and are true professionals. I highly recommend them and loved working with them!
