The kind of photos you don’t just scroll past.

Los Angeles wedding photography for couples who want their memories to feel alive.

The truth? You won’t frame every photo.

But the ones that take you right back to that day, those are the ones that last forever.

That’s why I focus on the real, messy, joyful, perfectly you kind of love.

 I’m all about capturing the joy, love, and unforgettable moments of your Southern California wedding day. I’m not here to just take photos—I’m here to tell the story of your day in a way that feels authentic, fun, and true to you.

My approach is relaxed, but I always know when to step in and help you get the perfect shot.

I’ll guide you with simple direction so you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. We’ll keep things light, fun, and authentic so your photos reflect how it felt, not just how it looked.

“You can absolutely trust Shelby and her artistic eye to make your day unforgettable.”

“You can absolutely trust Shelby and her artistic eye to make your day unforgettable.”

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.
