Preserving your memories and feelings on Digital & Film
I'm a big believer that your experience is just as important as the photos itself. My approach places a huge emphasis on documenting which means less stiff posing and more authenticity. I focus on the emotion and interactions so your images will be honest and meaningful to you.
I'm constantly on alert for the tear rolling down your grandma’s cheek as you read your vows. For the cheerful hugs being exchanged after the ceremony is over. For the laughter and commotion during cocktail hour from all of your loved ones. Down to the food and drinks being served throughout the night of your celebration.
Timeless, heartfelt, and personal imagery.

Destination Wedding Photographer based in Florida but ready to meet you wherever your love is. I document love stories all over the East Coast of the U.S!
I take great pride in getting to know each couple that inquires with me and I dedicate all of my energy into providing you with the best experience through every step of the process. I truly care about each and every couple I work with and I value your connection, story, and friendship. My approach allows you to be comfortable and present with your partner so you can have fun and soak in every emotion. My goal is for you to look back at your gallery and remember real moments from your day rather than how many times I posed you and interrupted you for that "perfect" shot.

"Shelby was an absolute gem to work with from the very start of booking her till the very end of our time together. The photos she delivered us of our elopement were more than we could have ever anticipated them being, we are in awe with her work. But more than that Shelby made the time to constantly check in leading up to our elopement, always asking if we needed help, providing a guidance on the best ways to make the day flow, and made the entire process so much better with her help. We adore her and her work and will absolutely be working with her in the future."

“Shelby was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was helpful, thorough, and extremely detailed. Her finished work floored us and we couldn’t be happier with our choice to use her as our photographer for our special day. It was easy, seamless, and she was prompt in getting our photos back to us! I don’t typically write reviews, but it’s also not typical to have someone go above and beyond these days. You should not have a shred of doubt when choosing her. She will WOW you like she WOW’D us!”

"We are SO happy we went with Shelby! We had a spontaneous elopement and Shelby was eager to assist. The photos themselves are gorgeous. The experience was fun and easy. Additionally, her online gallery for us is simple and user friendly. All in all, quite a wonderful experience and perfect person for the job. Highly recommend her!

I found Shelby and fell in love with how effortless her photos were, how comfortable her clients seemed and yet every picture was so dreamy and gorgeous. I booked Shelby to take our family photos at our favorite place (the beach!) and told her my dream of capturing my sweet baby’s big belly laugh. I wanted to be able to hear it every time I looked at the picture. It was a big ask with a one year old! No pressure! Shelby got the shot plus so many more that I’m still pinching myself - I can’t believe I’ll have these moments to stare at forever! Not only is Shelby a wonderful photographer but she radiates warmth and immediately makes you feel like longtime friends.
