Last update: April 2026

I’m Shelly — a wedding and lifestyle photographer with a love for genuine moments, golden light and all the little details that make a story uniquely yours.

My journey began with a simple love of taking photos — the kind that made me stop and think, that’s a moment worth keeping. What started as a hobby soon became a way of seeing the world differently — noticing the emotions, the gestures, and the beauty that sits quietly between it all.

My style is relaxed and natural, with a focus on capturing connection rather than perfection. I’ll step in with gentle guidance when needed, but most of the time, I simply let the day unfold and capture it as it happens — the laughter, the movement, the fleeting looks that tell your story.

Memories we will treasure forever

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer from start to finish so professional super friendly and really infested in making our day so special.
On the day she made us feel so at ease we didn’t even know the camera was on us.
She didn’t only capture the big moments she captured all the little intimate moments.
Would highly recommend.

Beautiful photos capturing our magical day.

I am absolutely in love with my wedding photos. They are exactly what we wanted, a natural, relaxed vibe but also some amazing more “posed” photos of me and my Husband. Shelly made us feel so comfortable as generally I feel very awkward in front of the camera. Just the best day captured in beautiful images to last forever. I can’t wait to get them on the walls. I’m so happy thank you so much Shelly x

Incredible photographer

I had a really good experience with this photographer. From the start, they were easy to talk to and made everything feel relaxed and natural. I didn’t feel awkward at all during the shoot, which honestly made a big difference.
They gave simple directions when needed but also let things flow, so the photos didn’t feel forced. You can tell they know what they’re doing, especially with how they used lighting and picked the right spots.
What I really appreciated was how they captured genuine moments, not just posed shots. The photos feel like real memories rather than just pictures, which makes them even more special to look back on.
The photos came out really nice ,natural, and exactly the kind of look I was hoping for. I’m genuinely happy with how everything turned out.
I’d definitely recommend them if you’re looking for someone reliable and easy to work with.

Newborn shoot- highly recommend

An amazing photographer!! Shelly photographed our newborn and she was kind, patient and had fantastic attention to detail. Nothing was too much, she checked in with us before, during and after the shoot to check we were happy with everything. We are absolutely thrilled with the photos and couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Shelly 🤍
