The absolute best!

Choosing a photographer in my opinion is the most important decision you make when planning a wedding, so I really did my due diligence. Shane was the top recommended photographer from my coordinator and after looking up his work I knew he was my first choice. Thankfully he was available on my wedding date and wow did he not disappoint! Shane is not only a phenomenal photographer but he is a lovely & professional person. He is excellent at what he does and it shows through his work ethic & his photos. I had several people come up to my raving about how great Shane is. He is someone you can 100% trust with capturing the most important day of your life. I can't recommend him enough.

Absolutely amazing photos

We booked with Shane for our wedding next year 2023. The package we purchased included free engagement photos and can I just say wow. The vision he had and the way the photos came out we couldn’t be more pleased! Not only are the photos absolutely amazing but his service is hard to beat. We had all of our edited photos by the next day with a sneak peak a couple hours later. Right then and there I knew I made the best decision in hiring him for our big day! September 2023 can’t come fast enough! Thank you Shane! ❤️

Best Photographer I Could Have Asked For

Shane photographed my wedding and engagement photos and he did an amazing job! He took my ideas into consideration while also bringing his own ideas and expertise. He made everyone involved feel comfortable and did his job well without stepping on any toes. He took requests from family members to get special shots and took so many great photos that I didn’t ask for but ending up absolutely loving! For engagement photos we did have to shift dates around and he was very flexible with that, and he was also quick with both engagement and wedding photos when it came to editing and getting them to my husband and I. Everyone loved him and his work, and I would absolutely recommend hiring him.
