About

Shelby Ellis Photography, based in Bexley, Kent, provides emotion-filled wedding photography you’ll love to look at again and again.

My name is Shelby, and I specialise in capturing authentic moments on a wedding day. My wedding photography style is natural, informal and, above all, about capturing the day as it unfolds. After all, everyone looks photogenic when they’re having a good time!

Services Offered

I have been passionate about photography since I was little - which is quite something for me, as I'm nearly 6ft tall! As soon as I picked up a camera for the very first time, I just knew - this is what I want to do. Taking natural shots of those beautiful moments which we otherwise might forget, my style is simple and unobtrusive - I've even been known to make a few groomsmen jump when I've quietly crept up beside them to get the perfect angle! I specialise in capturing those candid moments and natural emotions – all the laughter and tears of a wedding celebration. My style favours documentary-like storytelling rather than posed or staged shots, and my clients love how relaxed this makes them feel on the day.

I have photographed so many unique weddings - from religious ceremonies to outdoor ceremonies, LGBTQ+ weddings, Asian & Indian weddings, and several destination weddings (my most recent being on the side of a mountain!). This is why I love being a wedding photographer. I never get bored of capturing weddings, as they are always so different. So no matter what style of wedding you're planning, get in touch!

Superstar photographer!!

Shelby was absolutely fantastic photographing our wedding in June 2023. We loved the style of her photos from her portfolio, and have been so so happy with the wedding photos we now have too!
Shelby was communicative and helpful when booking, and we were really pleased to have a couples shoot included in the package to feel fully comfortable with being in front of the camera. Those photos too are lovely to have, and we could even use them for wedding invites!
On the day itself, Shelby was calm, professional, always poised and ready, and never ever felt in the way or intrusive. I don’t know how she managed to get so many incredible photos of the whole day. Her style meant she captured many lovely candid moments and nothing felt posed or forced.
Shelby was also very helpful in helping with the bride’s dress, and was a lovely presence to have around.
Would highly recommend! Shelby thank you so much for capturing such perfect photos of our favourite day!

Shelby was fantastic

Shelby was the perfect photographer. Very laid back and relaxed, friendly, punctual and confident. Listened carefully to what we wanted, made some great suggestions and was really fun to have there on the day of the wedding. The results speak for themselves...we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shelby for your event or wedding.

She came to my room to photograph me getting ready right through to our first dance and every thing in between.. to be honest I barely noticed she was there and she took some brill shots. We loved all of them.. Thank you so much Shelby you were a STAR

So many really lovely photos

We knew we wanted a photographer who would capture the spirit of our wedding naturally rather than spending their time orchestrating forced group shots, and Shelby completely fit the bill. We've got so many really lovely photos which we really feel sum up the wedding and she was so diligent throughout the whole day. Thank you for all your work Shelby x

Couldn't have asked for anything more

We had Shelby for our wedding in August, you wouldn't even have noticed she was there. She was absolutely amazing. Captured the whole day so well. The photos are brilliant we couldn't have asked for anything more. It was such a beautiful day and we are glad we had Shelby there to capture and experience with us. Thank you xxx

I'd also like to add that all our guests complemented Shelby on how unintrusive you were on the day and managed to capture the real essence, happiness and love on the day. Also we felt like we were saying goodbye to a guest when you left!! It was lovely to have you there!! xxx

Our day was captured perfectly

We would highly recommend Shelby! After searching for a wedding photographer (and there are loads) I came across Shelby and we both loved her style of photography. On our wedding day Shelby did a fab job of capturing our day and the majority of the time you wouldn't even know she was there. Our guests commented on how lovely Shelby was. We also received our photos in the post in a lovely box and we were amazed at how many of the photos we loved, there were so many!! Our day was captured perfectly and we have lots of photos to look back on.
