Hi! I 'm Shelby, your go-to wedding photographer & story teller My love for photography began in the MySpace era (cue the mirror selfies!) with a hot pink point & shoot Fujifilm Finepix Z5fd - complete with sliding lens cover. From documenting family vacations to capturing heartfelt moments, I've always had a camera in hand, unknowingly laying the foundation for my future career.
In 2014, I photographed my first engagement session for a close friend, never imaging that just a few years, I'd be turning my passion into a full-time journey as a wedding photographer.

On your wedding day, my goal is to capture the authentic moments that make your love story unique. I'll gently guide you through the day, ensuring everything feels natural while weaving in creative details inspired by my passion for architecture & design. Beyond photography, I channel my creativity into drafting floor plans & designing homes, where artistry & precision come together - a blend that mirrors my approach to documenting your most meaningful moments.

In my everyday life, you'll often find me baking sourdough bread or breaking a sweat in group fitness classes at the gym - it's my favorite way to recharge! My boys are my everything. I've been married to my amazing husband, Nick, since March 2018, & together we are raising two sweet sons, Waker & Wyatt, along with our Texas Heeler, Cooper, who keeps us on our toes. It's the little details - both big & small - that make life so special, & I'm constantly learning to embrace & celebrate every moment.

Hi, I'm Carleigh! A proud dog mom, passionate traveler, & lover of life's authentic moments. With nearly a decade of experience in photography, I've found my dream job capturing the magic of love stories. My absolute favorite part of what I do is building genuine connections with couples. Freeze framing special, candid moments that make your day uniquely yours are what I live for. As a current fiance myself, I know the stressors that involve wedding planning. Consider me your extra bridesmaid & extra set of hands on your forever day.

I thrive in capturing the magic of small, intimate weddings, where the focus is on genuine connections & heartfelt moments. My approach is subtle & unobtrusive - a fly on the wall - so I can focus on the people who matter most, though I'll never pass up the chance for a stunning detail shot!
I'm passionate about travel & adore elopements. If you've got a unique idea for your engagement, bridal or wedding day, I'm your girl! Let's dream big & create something unforgettable. I love exploring meaningful locations that makes your love story truly one-of-a-kind.
When I'm not immersed in photography, you'll probably find me with my nose buried in a gripping fantasy romance (hello, Fourth Wing Fans!), hitting the gym, or diving into the endless rabbit hole of TikTok trends. My happy place? Singing my heart out in car concerts with my sweet fiance Jake & daydreaming about Glen Powell. (IYKYK!)
Let's create something beautiful together - because your love story deserves to be told in the most unforgettable way.

Hey, I'm Amber! A photographer (obviously), a wife, & proud mom to seven amazing kids who I homeschool. My life is full of love, chaos, & more joy than I ever thought possible. I'm an introverted extrovert - I thrive on connecting with others but always need a little quiet time to recharge.
In my spare time you'll find me binge-watching movies or TV shows, rewatching my favorites for that cozy, familiar feeling. Sweet treats are my weakness, & a boba drink from Noot's is my ultimate pick-me-up. It's the little joys that fuel me!
next
I'm a nerdy wife & a self-proclaimed "hot mess" mom. A bubbly, goofy, hopeless romantic at heart, I can't resist Taylor Swift's Lover album for those dreamy wedding-day vibes. When it's time to let loose, you'll catch me jamming out to Fall Out Boy on the drive home.
I'm a cinephile with a movie collection that's over 500 strong. Movie quotes are part of my daily vocabulary, along with gems from The Office, Parks & Rec, & the latest TikTok trends. I'm also a proud Hufflepuff, a lifelong Whovian, & a relapsed Twihard (because who can really stay away?)

For me, the perfect date is dinner, dessert, & a movie - or Netflix & chill, as long as "chill" means ice cream!
My dream clients? Couples who don't take themselves too seriously, who love to laugh & embrace a bit of fun in front of he camera. If your ideal date involves a cozy night in with movies & popcorn, we're probably the perfect match. You'll love timeless, romantic photos with a whimsical touch & pops of color.
