Shelly is amazing! We’ve been working with her for our wedding since last summer and she has been so accommodating to our needs. We did our engagement shoot with her last year and unfortunately we had to postpone our reception another 5 months because of the pandemic. Shelly was so proactive and flexible that we didn’t have any issues with rescheduling. She was present for our small ceremony this weekend and she not only took care of her scope of work but also coordinated with our videographer to make sure they captured what we wanted. Shelly goes above and beyond what you expect from a vendor. She’s professional, but easy to talk to, and she makes the environment fun and comfortable for her clients. This is on top of the beautiful pictures she produces after each session =) We’re looking forward to working with her and her husband again in a few months!

Look no further...Shelly and Patrick are not only exceptional photographers through their expertise and professionality, but they are incredible human beings. Other than your spouse, you spend the most time with your photographer on your wedding day- Shelly was so joyful, flexible, and made us feel so special on our day. Shelly went above and beyond throughout the whole process, we had a pre-wedding phone call where she literally took the ideas in my head made them into an organized event timeline and scouted my venue so that she could capture all that it had to offer. Shelly made the most of our time and was able to get the attention of our bridal party, families, and little ones so that we could spend the most time celebrating and not posing for photos. I am so excited by our sneak peek photos and can’t wait to see the rest. She has an absolute incredible eye and is so fun. There are a lot of great photographers out there, but truly feel that Shelly is the best.

We had a great experience with Shelly last week for our engagement photos, and the sneak peeks are fantastic. Definitely looking forward to seeing everything! Shelly has a great eye, wonderfully fun personality, and is extremely responsive (despite my last min requests and pleas for outfit advice). She put both of us at ease, and even my fiance (who hates posing for pics) had a great time. Highly recommend!

Shelly came recommended to me by a friend, and I'm so grateful! Shelly's an extremely talented photographer, and we are so thrilled with how the photos turned out. But even beyond that, she was a huge part of how the day came together for us! Shelly recommended other fantastic vendors, and was instrumental in helping us map out a timeline that worked well. She was a calming, fun, and professional presence throughout! Even though she literally had to photograph outside in rain, sleet, and snow, Shelly kept us on track and the creativity flowing - and now we have some really lovely images to help us remember a really lovely day.

Shelly was amazing! She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos! She is so personable and extremely Talented. She was also very flexible. On wedding day she went to the hotel, then to the national gallery of art for first look and bride/groom photos, and bridal party photos, then to Jefferson memorial for the ceremony, and then to top of the town for our reception. She took so many amazing photos, and got specific shots that I asked for! I only have a few sneak peeks now since I only got married a few weeks ago. See for yourself how incredible she is!

My husband and I used Shelly as our wedding photographer for a non-traditional elopement - we got married in our backyard without any guests. Shelly was AWESOME from the first time I contacted her to get pricing and was super flexible with creating a custom package that worked for our day. We ended up doing portraits at the arboretum before a private ceremony in our backyard - and all the pictures are AMAZING!!! We actually opted not to do an engagement shoot since our wedding was so low key, but we still felt super comfortable from the moment we started taking pics with Shelly. She had made time to meet up with us a few months before to get to know our vision, and was always available via email whenever I had a logistics questions (our plans for where we would elope changed a few times). We also had a call the week of the wedding to run through our final plans and timing of everything and knew we'd be in great hands the day of. We ended up with a ridiculous number of beautiful pict... Read moreures. We are SO SO SO happy we used Shelly and would highly recommend her as an exceptional wedding photographer.

Shelly made us feel so at ease during our engagement photo shoot and wedding pictures. She captured everything with a beautiful, unique perspective. I strongly recommend her services!! She is the utmost professional, very prepared and excellent at her craft.

Shelly was a joy to work with. We hired her based on the great photos on her website and in particular that she captured the joy and love very well and in a natural way. We were not disappointed. She was very easy to work with, guided us well, and most importantly, I LOVE the photos. Her pricing is very straightforward and reasonable and all the high res photos were easily available for download. Highly recommend.

Shelly is one of THE most amazing and talented photographers I've ever met. She made me and my fiance feel at ease and talked us through the whole shoot so we felt comfortable and were having FUN! She had such a way of capturing us so naturally and in our element. The photos came out so natural looking and didn't have that overly "posed" look to them that most engagement photos have. She really captured the essence of us as a couple. What I also love about Shelly's photography is her editing style. It is so gorgeous - some words I would use to describe it are warm, natural, earthy, boho, timeless. I cannot recommend her work enough. She is seriously a goddess with a camera. Thank you SO much Shelly, for giving us photos that we will cherish forever.

Having Shelly photograph our wedding was one of the absolute best choices we made. She is completely lovely to be around and was such a calming presence throughout the day. She went above and beyond in all aspects and was really flexible to our vision. Her photographs are gorgeous and captured our wedding day in a genuine, natural style. Having her as part of the day and the photos she created were such a gift to us.

We had an interfaith/cross-cultural wedding, and it was very important that we found someone who could capture the different aspects of our wedding. Shelly nailed it, and we cherish her photos more than we can express. She just has knack for capturing the authentic love of the couple before her - nothing forced or awkward - just all the good, goofy, and sweet moments. Shelly is a talent, and a pleasure to work with. And shout out to her assistant/husband Patrick, who also does a fantastic job!

I usually hate photos of myself, and I was very nervous about taking photos for our wedding and engagement. Both at our engagement session and at our wedding, Shelly and her husband Patrick were so kind and flexible and put us right at ease. She made taking all our group photos a breeze and kept everything on schedule. We LOVED our engagement photos and I’m counting down the days until we can see our wedding pictures!

Shelly did a boudoir session for me and completely blew me away! It has been quite a few years since being in front of a camera so naturally I was a little hesitant. From our first email to the day of the shoot Shelly was very professional and responsive. She made me feel super comfortable was super patient with me and gave clear directions on how to move around and pose resulting in some amazing shots!

Shelly was an absolute doll to work with for our wreath making workshop! You know you've got a pro when she can capture the amazing photos that she did and build a gorgeous wreath. We can't wait to work with her again!
