We both can’t thank Shelley enough for capturing our wedding day from start to finish. She was so organised, and professional, but also friendly! she got as many pictures as possible, she wasn’t just my photographer so kept me informed in what was happening and what will happen during the day! Without her the day wouldn’t have ran as smoothly as it did! She kept in touch right up until our wedding day and let us pay monthly to help with the costs. So many of my family have also commented how impressed they are with the pictures. We are over moon with our pictures and our story is being told by the pictures. So special! Thankyou again Shelley! You will always have such a special place In my heart for capturing our special day so magically! Xx More...

I can’t recommend Shelley enough as a wedding photographer! From start to finish, she was an absolute gem. Shelley’s calm and laid-back demeanor made our wedding day run smoothly and effortlessly.
She had a wonderful way of capturing every special moment while keeping everything relaxed and enjoyable.
We’re incredibly grateful for her expertise and the beautiful photos she took. Each picture is a perfect representation of the day, filled with emotion and joy. We love them all and will cherish these memories forever. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who can make your day unforgettable, Shelley is the one to choose!

Wedding Photography
I would recommend Shelley to anyone asking for a decently priced photographer. She is very professional and takes some amazing photos!
I was told there could be up to a 4-6 week waiting time before getting my photos but I had my photos back shortly after 2 weeks!
When having some complaints over p specific photos missing, Shelley took it in her stride and got the issue sorted as soon as she could!
Shelley wasn’t just a photographer, she helped me get the girls ready because our nails were too long! One of our dresses ripped and she helped to mend the dress with safety pins which she brought with her!
With us being completely clueless with what we was doing in the day she talked us through every step of the way and was really guiding and supportive.
Honestly wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

We used Shelley for our last minute wedding, she was super friendly and accommodating. We met up before our big day which allowed us to discuss what we wanted in details, she continously kept in touch after through messages and calls that reassured us.
She has also exceeded our expectations with the photos and the turnaround time has been fantastic. We cannot recommend her enough and will definitely use her services again in the future for other events. Thanks Shelley! X

What a professional! Shelley not only captures moments but she also captures moods and emotions… I have been lucky enough to have her as my photographer several times, my 50th birthday party, work pictures and a family gathering… she seemed to be everywhere to capture everything! Moments I missed because I couldn’t be everywhere at the same time! More...

Shelley is an amazing photographer! She captures beautiful memories to last a life time and I would always recommend her. Shelley is spectacular at capturing ‘in the moment shots’ and always snaps the best photo’s of the person that says ‘I can’t smile in front a of a camera’

Overall a lovely talented lady and a 10/10!
