As an artist and storyteller, my passion is creating imagery that is joyful, romantic, authentic, and beautifully true to you.

With over 13 years in the wedding industry and hundreds of love stories captured, I’ve learned that a seamless wedding day is about more than just stunning photos—it’s about thoughtful planning. Collaborating with you and your planner on the timeline ensures everything flows smoothly, so you can be fully present in the moment.

Beyond being your photographer, I am your advocate and friend. My goal is for you to trust me completely, knowing that I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.

On word, INCREDIBLE!! Shanell was so amazing to work with and her
photography speaks for itself. She captured every moment of our wedding and we
couldn’t be happier. Her communication and expertise were wonderful all
throughout our planning process. She is not only an incredible photographer but
also a wonderful person to give wedding vendor suggestions . She was the best
decision we made for our wedding and all of our photos are priceless!!
Her talent is unmatched and her photos/wedding expertise will leave you
speechless. On our wedding day she was amazing, it was like my best friend taking
our photos. She made everyone feel so comfortable and kept all of us on track.
Shanell is incredible and will always be our #1 choice. Hiring Shanell will be your
best decision for any special occasion, wedding or even family photos. Her passion,
quality and attention to detail is what sets her apart from everyone else. Photos last
a lifetime, so make her your photographer. She is worth it!!

kind words

Growing up, my grandmother was the one who captured every moment, the keeper of our family's memories. I loved flipping through the albums she meticulously created, each one neatly arranged on the bookshelf by year, filled with stories told through photographs. That love for preserving memories has stayed with me, shaping my passion for what I do today. It brings me so much joy to capture meaningful moments for couples and families, just as my grandmother did for ours.
