Hamilton Wedding Photographer

Calm Energy. Killer Photos

Getting portraits on your wedding day is a given and it’s something that ALL wedding photographers offer, me included!

BUT what if you could also got these fleeting unique moments that were totally real, and unplanned

What if you had a photographer that made it a mission to truly document all the meaning behind this important day. I’ve been know to sit in a spot and hold my camera still - waiting the moment to happen, because I see something others don’t - I am patiently anticipating for that scene to unfold.

I am giving you these moments other photographers overlook. And I am funny too, so that helps.

“Having Shelley as our photographer for our wedding was AWESOME!

We knew from day one that Shelley was a perfect fit for our special day. My husband is pretty introverted and Shelley made it so easy for him to feel comfortable while taking photos. She brought a colleague along who was also soooo great!! Our whole wedding party loved them and they got along so well with our videographer. Everything just worked seamlessly. I highly recommend Shelley's photography as well as her customer service. If you're considering booking her, don't walk…run!!!”

Hi! I’m Shelley. Happy you are here!

I’m based in Norfolk County and photograph weddings across Southern Ontario including Hamilton, London, Toronto, Guelph, and Cambridge.

Couples usually tell me two things afterward:

✦ they had way more fun than they expected taking photos

✦ they barely noticed me half the day

I focus on documenting the emotional reactions, the chaos, the blink-and-you-miss-it things happening all around you. But I also genuinely love creating portraits. I’ll squeal over good light, get excited about a backdrop, and occasionally act like a photo is about to win me a Pulitzer.

I photograph all couples - LGBTQ+ weddings are always welcome here.
