Shelley is a documentary-style wedding photographer based in Leicestershire, capturing weddings across the Midlands.

Her approach is all about telling the story of your day - all the emotions, love, laughter, hugs and tears. The funny moments - the page boy peeing in the pond (yes that really did happen), the flower girl gathering up confetti, your best man doing his John Travolta moves and those glances you give each other when no-one else is watching. These are the moments that matter most.

With over 150 weddings photographed, Shelley appreciates that every wedding is as different as each couple and deserves a unique, tailored approach. She takes your wedding and indeed, your happiness very seriously and gets to know you both a bit before to find out more about how you met and came to be planning your wedding day.

Relaxed, Natural Photography

If the thought of being in front of the camera makes you nervous, you're not alone. Most couples tell Shelley they "hate having their photo taken" — and then are amazed at how easy and fun (sometimes grooms need a bit of encouragement) it feels. Shelley blends into the background, keeps things relaxed, and captures your wedding exactly as it unfolds — naturally, beautifully, and without any awkward posing.

Shelley is energetic, personable and fun, which helps everyone else feel comfortable and completely themselves. The result is genuine smiles, laughter, real emotions, and photographs that well, feel real. Photographs where you feel like you are there.

More Than Just Your Photographer

From the moment you book, Shelley's there to help.

Whether that's timeline advice, wondering what group photos to choose and how long they take, should you do speeches before or after dinner, whether you need a gap in the day, how long the cake cutting and first dance need to be and on it goes. Shelley is happy to help you figure out the details.

On the day itself, Shelley becomes part of your team; dress fluffer, buttonhole fixer, family wrangler, food and drinks organiser and toddler distractor. Whether Dad has disappeared, your veil needs untangling, your bridesmaid's hair is coming undone, or someone can't find the rings, she is there to help keep everything calm and running smoothly, all while being everywhere at once to capture the images to create the story of your day.

The Best of Both Worlds

While documentary photography is at the heart of what Shelley does, she also captures those 'must-have' photographs - the natural portraits of you both and the important family members you want to be photographed with, as well as the details you've spent months planning.

Everything is photographed in a relaxed, effortless way so you can simply enjoy your wedding day and having your friends and family with you to celebrate.
