SOUTH WEST ONTARIO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi! I’m Shell
Based in Norfolk County, I photograph weddings in a way that’s natural, unfussy, and deeply observant. It’s all about real moments—not stiff poses or staged perfection, but the actual energy of the day, just as it felt.
I shoot with quiet confidence and an instinct for being in the right place at the right time, without hovering or interrupting.
The result is a gallery that feels honest and lived-in, with clean, true-to-life edits. Real people. Real feelings.

FAQs
-
Popular dates (especially Saturdays in summer/fall) can book up 12–24 months in advance. If your date is set, the sooner the better.
Last minutes inquiries are okay too!
-
It’s easy. Sign the contract, pay the retainer (that’s a third of your package), and your date is reserved with me. The remaining two‑thirds are due one month before your wedding.
-
I'm legally responsible for your images for 12 months after your wedding but truthfully, I’ve never deleted a wedding yet. I always recommend you download and back up your gallery once you receive it, just to be safe.
-
If your wedding is within 2 hours of Norfolk County, there’s no travel fee. For anything beyond that, I may charge a small travel fee - but I’ll always let you know upfront.
-
Final galleries are usually delivered within 6–8 weeks. The exact timing depends on the season and how many weddings and sessions I’m currently editing.
-
Negative—and here’s why: editing is half the magic. Without that step, your photos are only halfway finished.
I will never withhold good images. If you think something’s missing from your gallery, just ask, I’m always happy to double-check and send it over. I won’t let you miss out on your memories.

An expensive, heavy black one.
Weddings Anywhere
Getting married somewhere far from home?
I travel for love. And good light. From tropical beaches to old stone castles in Ireland (I hope one day), I photograph destination weddings with full-day coverage and optional bonus shoots. That could mean a pool party with your peeps, a "trash the dress" moment in the ocean, or whatever version of fun you’re planning the day before or after.
These weddings are more than just one day. They’re made up of small, unforgettable moments stretched across a few beautiful days.
