Ontario Wedding Photographer
Wedding Photography for couples who want their wedding photographed as it felt.
Photographing the way you actually love each other
13 years of experience and 300+ weddings. Thousands of dance floor shoulder shimmies.
You’ve been together long enough to know a formal production isn’t what you want.
You’re choosing simple elegance, with unique touches that feel personal to you both.
The photography should reflect who are, not the poses you have been put in.
I care about how you move together. How you talk. How you settle into each other when no one’s watching. I pay attention to those details and compose them thoughtfully, so your photos feel personal not performative.
The best thing about her photos is that she captured the real essence of our wedding, the photos show us how we are - pretty much constantly laughing. After cancelling our wedding and moving to an elopement Shelley was extremely flexible and came along for the ride with us! We cannot thank her enough for the amazing memories she's given us with her photos.
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER SERVING SOUTHWEST ONTARIO, INCLUDING NORFOLK COUNTY, HAMILTON, CAMBRIDGE, GUELPH, TORONTO AND BEYOND
Hiya - I’m Shelley!
I’m a wedding photographer based in Norfolk County, Ontario. I’m calm, rarely stressed, with a dash of sarcasm. I give certain poses ridiculous names and occasionally assign nicknames to unruly groomsmen.
I photograph weddings with a quiet, observant approach. I don’t manufacture moments or choreograph emotions. I pay attention to what’s actually happening and compose it thoughtfully, so it feels as real as it was.
If you’re looking for heavily posed photos, I’m not the right fit. I focus on what’s real — with just enough guidance to keep things natural and easy.
When you look through your gallery, I want you to recognize yourselves in it.
“Everyone that sees my wedding photos is absolutely blown away! They are pure magic and better than we could have even imagined.
Shelley captured the beauty of the venue, scenery, all the special moments and more. She is easy and fun to work with and provided great direction. Shelley is a true talent!”

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 friends, a 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.
