KIND WORDS
Shelby photographed both our engagement and wedding, and the photos came out incredible. She really got to know us as a couple and used our location beautifully. Since I did not have a planner, her forms and planning guidance helped so much. On the wedding day, she showed up on time, paid attention to everything I said was important, and delivered both classic and artistic photos- exactly what I wanted. I look back at them and feel like I/m right back in the moment. Shelby was always responsive and helpful, and I highly reccommend her.

KIND WORDS
Shelby was an absolute dream of a photographer to work with. She has a one-of-a-kind eye and the ability to capture emotion and a PERFECT moment in time within each frame. She was very communicative, personable and present through the whole wedding process. We were beyond stoked when we received our edits - thank you Shelby for exceeding our expectations! Can't recommend enough.

KIND WORDS
Shelby Ayn was an integral part of my wedding day! Her packages and photography style were what drew me in, but what made me stay is her friendly demeanor and professionalism. She was able to take charge on my wedding day when we were running a bit behind schedule and was able to get the dreamiest photos of my husband and I while also getting us to our ceremony on time. She also took our engagement photos which are still talked about almost a year later! You can absolutely trust her and her artistic eye.

Frequently Asked Questions
I specialize in capturing real moments with a mix of candid shots and timeless, classic poses. My goal is to tell the unique story of your day, focusing on emotions, laughter, and the joy of the moment.
I recommend one for a few reasons! First, my style of photography works best when we've gotten to know each other. Engagement sessions are the perfect time for us to hang out & spend time together before your day! It's also a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, and practice makes perfect. It's totally natural to feel a little bit nervous/awkward when you're not used to having your photo taken, but your engagement session will make you two pros by the time the wedding rolls around!
You'll receive a sneak peek of a few photos within 1 week of your day! Full weddings are delivered within 8-10 weeks.
Nope! I don't send any un-edited/raw files! most of the magic happens during the editing process, so without that step your photos are only halfway done!
Thank you!
we'll be in touch soon!
