Ontario Based Destination Photographer
Photography that covers the whole experience.
For Ontario couples planning a destination wedding at an all-inclusive Caribbean resort who want a photographer they can trust over whoever the resort provides, I travel with you from home to photograph the full day with a mix of documentary and portrait-style imagery.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer than Shelley! From the very beginning, her kindness, patience, and genuine friendliness made us feel so comfortable. She took the time to truly get to know us and our vision, and her communication was flawless every step of the way. She even traveled all the way to Jamaica to capture our special day, which meant so much to us. Her talent and creativity are beyond impressive, and she made every moment feel effortless and fun. All of our guests loved her to the point where one couple plans on hiring her for their wedding! On top of everything, the photos are absolutely stunning.”
Why Bring Your Own Photographer?
Resort photographers are fine… but they’re assigned, maybe less experienced and usually only cover a couple hours.
When couples bring me, they get:
Someone they’ve already met and trust
Full-day coverage instead of a short package
A consistent style across engagement photos, wedding, and albums
Someone focused on their story, not some rando doing the same routine for every wedding.
I’m Shelley - Your destination photographer
I may get a little sunburned, but it’s all joy when I’m at a resort shooting your wedding.
I travel with you - and sometimes bring my little family-but I’m not there to take over your time or pull you away from it. I’m there to quietly do my job, documenting your day with a mix of candid moments and relaxed, natural portraits. I’m also scouting locations from the moment I arrive, so we’re always making the most of what’s around you.
I’m easy to be around and a bit funny, but I take this seriously - because this isn’t just a trip. It’s your wedding.
Where I’ve been for weddings: Jamaica, Dominican Republic
Where I am going: Mexico
“WOW! Shelley, We are speechless. These photos brought back so many tears of joy and happiness. Thank you so much for being apart of our special day. We truly couldn’t have picked someone better than you. You really felt like apart of the family (MANY people shared the same sentiments).”

Destination Wedding Package
Unlimited coverage - $ 4600.
That amount includes both my photography coverage and travel. From the total, I book my flights and accommodations for the trip (unless you have a travel agent), and the remaining portion becomes the photography coverage for your wedding day.
This keeps things simple. You’re working with one clear number rather than managing separate travel costs.
Coverage includes:
Me as your photographer capturing the story of your wedding day
Engagement shoot ( depending on your location)
Online gallery for 1 year
Photos are delivered 6-8 weeks of full resolution photos with printing rights.
Slideshow to share with family and friends 3 weeks after your wedding.
Behind the scene clips from all parts of the day. (And probably clips from other parts the of week)
Free album layout.
Customizable wedding day timeline.
Mini Sessions for Guests
If I’m already traveling for your wedding, your friends and family can book optional mini sessions during the trip.
These are short portrait sessions (about 20-25 minutes) for couples, families, or anyone who wants a few great photos while they’re already dressed up and somewhere beautiful.
I create a private booking page with time slots. You can share the link with your guests and they can book directly if they’re interested.
Easy for you. Fun for them.

I want to thank you for joining us to capture our destination wedding! Marilee and I really appreciated your professionalism, flexibility and your ability to work with our big family through the chaos of the events to capture all the things! It was really lovely to have you there and you made the whole process easy for us. Above all we really hope you were able to enjoy the rest of week down south and get away from everything for a bit just as much as we did!
Thank you again for helping to make our big day even more special.

I run a unique behind-the-scenes setup while I photograph your wedding. A small 360° camera captures everything happening around me during the day while I’m working.
That means you’ll receive fun candid video clips from throughout the day, along with the photos.
A 360° memory of your wedding day.
So… where are we going?
Tell me what you’re planning-I’ll let you know if I’m available and how I can make this easy for you!
