Photography packages designed to tell the whole story
Wedding photography doesn’t have to be ALL traditional portraits, there is so much more to it
There so many more meaningful moments on your wedding day that need to be noticed. If wedding photography is only focused on posed photos, you end up with beautiful portraits, but you miss the moments that actually tell the story of the day.
You deserve a photographer who is watching for all of it, not just the planned moments, but the real ones too
While I love portraits and make them a priority on wedding days - the documenting takes a huge role with the style I want to deliver to you. My passion is to get the real reactions like I am not even there. These authentic reactions are happening all around you and I am on the lookout for them while having the best day of your life
→ Your best friend’s genuine reaction when they see you in your dress about to get married. It’s the laughing when they talk about your dynamite cleavage.
What to Expect Working With Me
My goal is for it be feel like a calm but exciting experience.
The morning is half drunk coffees, make up spread out and dresses hanging up. Details all gathered for some close up shots. People walking in and out. There is no posing, no performing - Just hanging out with your most important people. This is when some of the most meaningful photos are being made. Your mom watching quietly, maid of honour looking over a speech. Your wedding dress being buttoned up by the window light - the moment where you see yourself dressed up for the day for the first time.
When it’s time for photos, it doesn’t feel like a photo shoot. It feels like a short walk together where you finally get a moment alone. The light is good, you’re a little giddy, a little relieved, and for a few minutes the wedding disappears and it’s just the two of you.
Those are the photos you end up loving the most, and it didn’t feel forced or awkward to get them. A wedding where you felt fully present, celebrated and totally yourself.
Hi, I’m Shelley - your photographer
I’ve been photographing weddings for over 13 years, and I still love it because every wedding is different and full of real moments that can’t be recreated.
I’ll guide you when you need it, organize the important parts of the day, and spend the rest of the time watching for the real moments that tell the story of your wedding.
“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).”
What I include in every package
-
I am the one you talk too, book with, do your engagement photos with. You won’t get someone else on the most important day of your lives. I approach the day like I am going to get the best shot I have ever taken
-
Your wedding photos stay online for a year and your engagement photos for 6 months. Other than that I do back them up, and have never deleted a shoot in 15 years. I got you. I am backing up the back you.
-
Sometimes it is earlier, but it is always 8 weeks max. No 4 months later. This is my full time job, I am on it and I know you are excited to see them. I am equally excited to get them to you!
-
One of my most favourite things to do is make a slideshow with the highlights of the day. I delivered them a few weeks after your wedding, put to your favourite music. Tells a beautiful story of your day and it is easy to send to your people to also relive. Then you don’t have to send out your entire gallery.
-
With an insta 360 camera on me all day, means you benefit from having small clips, cool over head shots, and even use it yourself with selfie stick! Another layer of your day documented
-
Along with your final gallery, a complete 30-40 page album layout will be included. Feel free to make suggestions and I am happy to make the changes
-
I have done this many times, so take advantage of my knowledge and lets create a time line calm, un-rushed wedding can be. I can help with where photos should be scheduled and where you can learn to keep things
-
It’s all included. No need to calculate anything.
-
This list is insane. I have locations all over the GTA, Hamilton, London and Norfolk County. I know what time of year to go and when they are least busy. I have done the research so you don’t have to.
Package 1
-
Unlimited coverage means you don’t have to choose what gets captured and what doesn’t.
You may have multiple locations and there is a certain luxury in not having to plan your day around when photography ends. You don’t need to build your timeline to fit coverage, or worry about whether something important might happen after I leave. Tell me what time to arrive and I will stay until the last song and capture the entire arc of your day.

This is the most popular option because it covers a full wedding day, with two photographers capturing both your experience. Some getting ready moments in the morning and enough dance floor photos so you can remember the party. It’s a balanced option that gives you strong coverage and multiple perspectives, without needing to go fully unlimited.

PACKAGE 3

If your wedding day is more streamlined and happening mostly in one place, this is often all you need.
Eight hours covers the key parts of your day, but it does mean choosing what matters most, typically getting ready coverage or more time on the dance floor later on.
With one photographer, I can only be in one place, so getting ready is usually covered for one of you unless you’re together or in the same location.

Reach Out & Check Your Date
Let’s talk about your wedding - I’d love to hear what you’re planning
I really love how natural you've kept them with the editing and use of natural light. You got the brief and I so appreciate it. It's nice we can enjoy that true light of the day.
Thank you for the support you provided all of us throughout the day as well! Even beyond your role as photographer! My mum mentioned you really helped her come down from her worries.
That in itself is a best gift a bride could ask for!
