east coast photographer capturing weddings nationwide
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 east coast wedding photography 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.

Documentary east coast wedding photographer based in 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 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."
- 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!”

"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."
