inspired by
Documentary East Coast wedding photographer based outside of Jacksonville, Florida but working all around the country.
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 see incredible memories from your day rather than how many times I pulled you away from your celebration or posed you in a way that didn't feel true to who you are.

"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.
- Devon C. / East Coast Wedding
"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!”
- Heather C. / Wedding in the East Coast
"Cannot recommend Shelby enough!! She did our engagement shoot and our wedding. Since our first conversation she knew exactly what we wanted and boy did she deliver! Her work exceeded beyond our expectations and is all over our home! Not only is her work amazing but so is she! She is such a sweetheart, so attentive to detail, caring, professional, kind, all around great to work with! She is so good at her job, we love her!!"
- Julia L. / East Coast Wedding
"I cannot say enough good things about Shelby. Our wedding was considered a destination wedding as we live in Arizona and our family and friends were coming mostly from Indiana. I had never met Shelby in person until after our ceremony was over and I got to say hi to her for the first time. I could tell from her social media and our few interactions that she was going to be so sweet and kind and she was exactly that. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and had so many suggestions for poses and different shots she wanted to capture. She captured our day exactly the way that I had envisioned it and we're so lucky that we get to have these photos for a lifetime! If you're looking for someone in or around Florida to capture your wedding I highly recommend you book with Shelby."
