Jasmine & Stuart

“We had the pleasure of hiring Shelby as our elopement photographer in the Caribbean as well as for our UK reception party. From start to finish, Shelby was an absolute joy to work with. Friendly, down to earth and professional, Shelby made the whole process so easy and relaxed – which is just what you need when you are getting married. I was struggling to find photographers in St Lucia that matched the photography style that we wanted, so on a whim, I reached out to Shelby and she was able to arrange a package for us which was extremely reasonable!!

I am so lucky that Shelby flew out to St Lucia to be there for us on our special day and the images that she captured were absolutely wonderful. Both natural and light, the images really captured magical moments from the day. She made everyone feel so at ease and got on very well with everyone.

We also had a pre-wedding photoshoot on the amazing Sugar Beach in St Lucia that we’ll never forget – those mountains! This allowed us to develop a relationship with Shelby and get some practice photos in! It was really enjoyable and she made us feel very comfortable.
We were particularly impressed with how quickly Shelby got our images back to us each time. Shelby was always super responsive and friendly through out the whole process. I would not hesitate to recommend her at all!”

Sophie & Saif

“Shelby is an absolutely amazing photographer! We fell in love with her portfolio and she has been so kind and professional since we contacted her.

We had an engagement photoshoot in London 6 months before our wedding, which was such a great experience to get to know her and practise posing and taking photos! This really helped on the big day!

For our wedding, Shelby captured so many beautiful moments. The photos look magical and gorgeous and she managed to edit over 1000 photos in less than a week!!!

I could not recommend Shelby enough, if we were getting married again we would definitely ask her to be our photographer again ♥”

Joe & John

“Shelby is unquestionably an artist, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her capture our wedding day. For two people who don’t usually like getting their photo taken, the entire experience was a joy for both of us. Every photograph Shelby took beautifully captured the full range of emotions we felt—joy, humor, love, and everything in between. Her ability to see and preserve those moments is truly remarkable.

Shelby has a wonderful way of putting everyone at ease. Her warm, disarming energy made the photography experience enjoyable not only for us but also for all of our guests. She has a unique talent for surprising and delighting people, which resulted in candid, heartfelt images that perfectly reflect the spirit of our celebration.

The photos Shelby shared with us brought tears of joy to our eyes. Her artistry ensures that we will be able to relive the magic of our wedding day for a lifetime. We honestly could not have had such a successful and memorable wedding without her.

Simply put, Shelby is the best photographer we could have asked for, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to capture their special moments with authenticity and beauty.”

Thank you for making the photos as pain-free as possible, everyone commented how amazing you were.

“We had the pleasure of booking Shelby as our photographer for our wedding in June 2023. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we made for our big day.

Shelby fit in like one of our guests, and I had so many people comment to me about how lovely, friendly and professional she was to talk to. She got all the shots I could have wanted, yet was not obtrusive in any way. In fact, we didn’t even notice her wandering around snapping away to get the shots she needed.

Looking back on the photos (which we received very quickly), it brings the whole day back to me in an instant, and Shelby managed to capture every emotion and the whole feel of the day through her work. I honestly cannot thank Shelby enough for everything she did for us, I recommend her to anyone looking for an incredible photographer.”

Sophia & Tyler

“Shelby was our wedding photographer and the experience was absolutely phenomenal. From start to finish, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, talent, and dedication, ensuring that our special day was captured in the most beautiful and memorable way possible.
My fiancé and I were nervous since we had never taken professional pictures before, but Shelby maintained a calm and friendly demeanour throughout the entire process, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her ability to capture candid moments and genuine expressions is a testament to her skill in creating a relaxed atmosphere.
We wholeheartedly recommend Shelby to anyone seeking a wedding photographer who can capture the essence of their special day in a truly magical way.”

Lorna & Matt

“Shelby was absolutely fantastic photographing our wedding in June 2023.
Shelby was communicative and helpful when booking, and we were really pleased to have a couples shoot included in the package to feel fully comfortable with being in front of the camera. Those photos too are lovely to have, and we could even use them for wedding invites!

On the day itself, Shelby was calm, professional, always poised and ready, and never ever felt in the way or intrusive. I don’t know how she managed to get so many incredible photos of the whole day. Her style meant she captured many lovely candid moments and nothing felt posed or forced.
Would highly recommend! Shelby thank you so much for capturing such perfect photos of our favourite day!”

Bernie & Dan

“She was so perfect for the whole day. She was so relaxed and friendly yet professional and so nice to have around. She was so helpful and went above and beyond, from being on hand to fix the grooms broken button hole, to constantly ‘floofing’ my dress to make sure it looked perfect in every shot. We love every photo and there are no words to describe how perfect they all are, they are more than we could have wished for. They capture the joy and emotion of the day amazingly and they are something we will treasure forever.”

Michael & Brooke

“Shelby was the perfect photographer. Very laid back and relaxed, friendly, punctual and confident. Listened carefully to what we wanted, made some great suggestions and was really fun to have there on the day of the wedding.

The results speak for themselves… We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shelby for your event or wedding.”

“We chose Shelby as our photographer for our wedding and we were so happy with the whole experience. I’ve got a squint and spent most of my life anxious about photos, especially how this would look on the wedding day. Shelby was incredibly understanding, and the included couple shoot was great to get more comfortable with this. On the day, Shelby was kind, thoughtful, helpful and I loved having her around as part of my morning prep. She was such a calming and grounding influence. Most of all, the photos are incredible and we got them back SO quickly. Would recommend Shelby to any couple.”

Thank you so so much for everything, they are incredible.

– Ellie & Jimmie

Andreea & Lucas

“Shelby is amazing and we cannot recommend her enough!

She photographed our wedding and did such an incredible job; the photos blew us away and we cannot stop looking at them. She was fantastic on the day, a true professional and she captured the day so beautifully.

We also did two couples’ shoots with her before the big day – she made them so much fun and she instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

We will treasure all of our photos forever and we cannot thank her enough!”

Kate & Josh

“Shelby was the photographer at our wedding this summer and did an unbelievably good job capturing our day. Not only did she take all of the traditional posed shots that we wanted beautifully – we were blown away by the candid shots which encapsulated the feel of the day to a tee. She was easily able to switch between ultra organised and ‘go with the flow’ as required, and remained thoroughly professional even as we became less so as the day went on. If we did the day all over again Shelby would be the first ‘supplier’ I’d get booked in.”

Hannah & Ryan

“The photos are just so beautiful. We love them!!! You captured every moment so perfectly, and it’s so nice seeing all the little bits we missed! We have never said wow so many times! The way you captured the mountains and scenery is unreal. 
You did the best job in making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. There is also a sense of continuity across all three shoots which we love. We can’t thank you enough for everything you have done. We will be looking at the photos for the rest of our lives and we’re so grateful we had you as our photographer.”

“Shelby photographed our wedding in June 2022, and we cannot thank her enough for the images that she has captured! From start to finish she has been very professional and a pleasure to have on our special day. We have already had friends and family say that they would love her as a photographer for their own weddings, and we couldn’t recommend her more.
Shelby went above and beyond our expectations, even from the pre-wedding photoshoot, everything was easy and relaxed. Thank you for capturing us, our family, and our fur baby Pippa.”

“We honestly couldn’t have been more happier with her work, professionalism and her attention to detail! Shelby was amazing on the day, her calmness and non-intrusive style of capturing photos really put me at ease. The photos came back beautifully and the editing style captured our day so well. The photos are such a treasure and captured our wedding memories so beautifully. We’re so honoured to have had Shelby as our photographer and I couldn’t recommend more.”

Kate & Sean

“Shelby was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. She captured so many fantastic shots of the day and we couldn’t be happier with her work. She not only made us feel relaxed from start to finish but we had loads of fun taking the photos with her. It’s amazing how much more relaxed we were after having done the recommended engagement shoot. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thanks again for everything Shelby!”

Sam & Nathan

“What can I say… Shelby is amazing!! From when we first met her at a wedding fair she was so friendly, helpful and lovely – so much so we actually cancelled our wedding photographer so we could book her! Shelby was amazing on the day, a real calming presence and offered help and advice when we needed it. We absolutely could not fault her, she was brilliant in every sense and the photos she has produced are beyond what we could have imagined. Thank you so so much for being the wedding photographer of our dreams!”

“The final photos illustrate the moments we remember best, as well as parts of the day that we missed and are now thrilled to have recorded.
The light and colours are absolutely beautiful, and we so appreciate all the hard work that was put into the shooting and careful editing of each shot.
We couldn’t recommend Shelby more for her professionalism and talent!”

Andri & Mo

“Shelby is incredible and makes you feel so comfortable from the moment you meet. On our wedding day Shelby just did her thing and we barely noticed she was there. Shelby is so talented and really cares about capturing everything you want on the big day. Our photos came back within a few weeks of our wedding. We haven’t stopped looking at them and can’t quite decide what we should get printed as they are all fabulous!”
