When Bride and Groom’s Become mommies and Daddies….

I love when other photographers ask me to do their session, its always a huge compliment!

Shanell is hands down, without a doubt, THE photographer you want to capture one of the most important days of your life. She is easy going, understanding, encouraging, funny and very professional. She was literally THE ONLY vendor on the day of our wedding I could actually count on. My husband and I consider her a real friend now, more than just our photographer. Although I am super excited for her to capture all of our future family events, like maternity and newborn photos! We had two engagement sessions with her and it can be nerve racking at first, when you aren’t a model and you have someone you don’t know that well capturing the love you and your partner share with one another. But with in a matter of minutes she made us both feel so comfortable and relaxed. It ended up being a ton of fun! And when we got the pictures back ( in such timely fashion), she made us LOOK like models. It was everything I had dreamt. Our second engagement session was in the FREEZING cold (literally, like -2 degrees outside) and she was such and amazing sport! She kept us laughing and having fun and those photos turned out EVEN better than the first session (which I didn’t think was possible). Bottom line, she is worth EVERY penny of your wedding budget and you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t hire her.
