Kelly Sent on 05/06/2026Above and Beyond More Than a Photographer
Where do I even begin? From the moment my wedding day started, Shelley was so much more than a photographer. She became my photographer, my support system, my family, and honestly my maid of honour all in one.
I was extremely nervous on the day, but she immediately made me feel calm, comfortable, and cared for. She went far beyond what anyone would expect from a photographer, helping me from the hotel to the venue, making sure everything was organised and running smoothly. She noticed when I was anxious and was always there with reassurance and support.
My husband is very camera-shy, and I was worried that he wouldn’t feel comfortable in front of the camera. Shelley worked her magic and captured the most beautiful, natural moments. When I saw the photos, I was genuinely emotional. She managed to bring out the very best in both of us and captured memories that we will treasure forever.
Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Her professionalism, warmth, patience, and attention to detail are second to none.
As I write this review, I genuinely have tears in my eyes because of how grateful I am. Shelley didn’t just document our wedding day she helped make it one of the most special days of our lives. She deserves every bit of recognition and every award possible.
Thank you, Shelley, from the bottom of our hearts. We will never forget everything you did for us. ❤️Shelley Costello Photography's reply:

I am so happy that I was able to help and contribute to making the day run smoothly. It was lovely and such a relaxed and fun wedding. Thank you again, I literally had tears in my eyes by the end of reading your review. Stay in touch, love Shelley x -

Happy to recommend Shelley Costello, I've been delighted with the whole experience from start to finish. When I started looking for a wedding photographer her documentary approach instantly stood out to me. I'm over the moon she was available on our date! The whole process was very smooth, from agreeing a package to paying, planning the day to receiving our photos there isn't a single thing I'd fault. Shelley met online and at our venue ahead of the big day to understand our wish list and choose the best locations for all our photos. On the day she was efficient but friendly and had all our guests at ease. The resulting photos are everything I hoped and will allow us to treasure all the special moments for years to come. Shelley has given us so much more than 'traditional posed photos' and I couldn't be any happier. -

Laura Sent on 28/09/2025Fantastic!
Thank you, Shelley, for the wonderful pictures you captured at our wedding ceremony and reception. Both the group photos and all of the candid moments you caught were lovely; it was amazing to relive the day through the images!
Shelley is not only a great photographer - she is a lovely person to have around when you are getting ready, and will always discreetly be capturing those magical moments! We received our photos about 5 weeks after the wedding, which was fantastic, and the slideshow was really special to watch and to share with friends and family. Her rate is very reasonable and communication could not be better. Again, many thanks! -

We would highly recommend Shelley and would definitely use again. She was amazing from start to finish, from keeping in touch for over a year before our wedding, meeting us and our kids before the big day, to then being just absolutely amazing on the big day! She was great looking after my Dad and captured all the pics I wanted and more, we couldn’t be happier with the end results, which were available way earlier than we were expecting. Highly recommendShelley Costello Photography's reply:

Lots of love, Shelley x -

Tracy Sent on 24/06/2025Beautiful photos captured our feel of the day
Would recommend Shelley and Josh who took our photos on the day. she was in contact from the get go and went along with our ideas, we wanted a very relaxed feel for the ceremony and a few photos after so only had 2-3 hours but Josh captured what we required, friends and family have said they were amazing and one person stated they paid 2000 for theirs and ours were so much better at a fraction of the cost. Would definitely recommend we have so many photos and a beautiful slideshow it bought tears to our eyes x Thanks again Shelley and Josh you both provided an amazing service xShelley Costello Photography's reply:
Thank you for your lovely kind words and feedback, Tracy. Your wedding was gorgeous and so much fun. The photos are fantastic and love all the laughter between everyone. So happy you are happy! Wishing you both fun and happiness together. Thanks again, Shelley x -

Charlotte Sent on 05/11/2024Captured our day perfectly!
We chose Shelly due to her documentary style of photography as we both aren't photogenic people. She captured our day exactly how I remembered it and its so beautiful to see how happy everyone was on our wedding which luckily we have the photographs to cherish. Such a wonderful lady as well, so friendly and made us both feel relaxed and she comes prepared to get the perfect shots :) Couldn't have asked for more as the photos are exactly what we wanted. PERFECT!Shelley Costello Photography's reply:
Thank you Charlotte & Joao for your kind words and lovely review, so grateful. Your wedding was beautiful and so much fun. So happy to hear that you loved your photographs. It was so lovely to meet you and be able to capture that for you. Wishing you both lots of love and happiness, thank you again. Shelley -

Fiona Sent on 12/10/2024Absolutely perfect photography.
I used 'Hitched' to find a photographer, not knowing where to start to find the right one. I made contact with Shelley who was very responsive to my enquiry and after talking to her I knew she was the one. Her friendly and relaxed approach made me feel that she would be perfect.
On the day, Shelley was very professional and helpful, she even assisted the groom and best man in putting on their buttonholes upon arrival! She put my mind at ease when it rained, reassuring me that umbrellas would create an extra effect. She was right!
We loved her photographic style, particularly the natural photos and some funny ones of family members being caught "in the moment". She perfectly captured the day and sequence of events like a storybook in photos. We also loved the option of both colour and black & white photos within our photo gallery.
Our special day and memories have been preserved by the photos Shelley took for us on our wedding day. She did an amazing job and was great value for money. We would highly recommend booking her for your wedding day.
