Photography Packages Designed To Tell the Whole Story

Wedding photography doesn’t have to be ALL posed portraits, there is so much more to it.

I’m constantly paying attention to the reactions, emotions, and interactions around you - the whole reason you have a photographer following you around in the first place!

→ Your best friend’s genuine reaction when they see you in your dress about to get married.  The laughing when they talk about your dynamite cleavage.

These moments happen quickly, and I care deeply about catching them for you.

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.

Hi, I’m Shelley - Making people feel less weird in front of cameras since 2001

Woman sitting on a rock formation in a desert with red and beige layered rocks in the background, wearing sunglasses, a patterned shirt, shorts, and black shoes, smiling and holding a camera.

Every time I get that “You’re our photographer!” email, there’s usually an immediate elbow air jab followed by me yelling to my husband, “Lovey! I booked it!.

You aren’t just another inquiry, I really do get a jolt of excitement when I see new couples reach out. I’m seriously committed to making photos you’ll lose your mind over.

I’ll absolutely bust my ass to get those photos for YOU.

“Shelley I’ve only looked through some but I am OBSESSED! You did such an amazing  job and we are so so grateful for you !!! You are the best! .”

What It’s Like having me Photograph Your Wedding

I don’t stress and there is no lighting situation I can’t handle. Your disorganized family won’t make me crazy. I’ve got you!

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 lot of my favourite photos come from the morning. It’s full of unposed gold!

A young woman in a wedding dress getting her hair styled in a mirror, with two women watching, one older woman with jewelry and a black dress, and another woman partially visible on the right.

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.

Silhouettes of a bride with a lace dress and another woman, possibly her bridesmaid, in a dimly lit room with sheer curtains letting in light.

Let’s be in cahoots!

Tell me everything.

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!
