The cost of weddings aren’t cheap, it’s no secret. Between signing a million contracts and paying all the retainers, all while still trying to live your regular life isn’t an easy task. Trust me, I lived that life not that long ago.
But I ask that you flip your perspective on its head briefly, and see the side of wedding photography that is shown as an investment, a long-term preservation of memories, and the one thing you can show your grandchildren years from now. And lemme tell you, I dream of the day I can show my grandchildren my wedding photos… Don’t you?
Trust me when I say that I still have pinch-me moments. That I still sit in awe of the dream I was given. I am forever grateful for the memories I get to be a part of and the lifetime of joy I get to bring folks through imagery. It may be the historian in me talking, but it will never be lost on me that I get to help create your personal archive of family photos. These are the photos that are shared for generations, and I couldn't be happier to capture them.
She delivered both our sneak peek and the full gallery super fast and we are IN LOVE!!! Seeing the sneak peek on our honeymoon brought tears to my eyes. She captured every little detailed moment and we’re so thankful we get to relive the day over and over with this keepsake.
Every picture she's taken of us looks so relaxed and genuine because of her knack for making photoshoots feel like you're hanging out with a friend. Her photos are bright and joyful, she's incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, she's super organized, and her turnaround times are so quick (we got our wedding sneak peek photos within a day!). SO happy with Shelby's work!
If you’re ready to jump feet-first into one of the most fun, exciting experiences of your life, you’re in the right place. I’m the photographer for the lovers, the laughers, the ones who expect the unexpected and embrace life with a smile on their face. If you are ready for a photography experience full of JOY, LOVE, and CONNECTION, I think you may have just found your perfect wedding photographer.
I never take a wedding I photograph lightly. I want to ensure your wedding is captured exactly how you envision it, and this personalized experience sets my collections apart from others.
After you inquire with me, you’ll get all the nitty gritty, including my wedding guide and a link to schedule a quick phone call with me (ya know, so you can make sure I’m more than a person typing away behind a screen!)
After our phone call, you’ll get a proposal with your perfect wedding day package, and after everything is signed and sealed, you’re officially one of my Southard Creative Co couples! EEK, I am giddy just thinking about it!
From here, the magic can really begin. We plan your engagement session together, and everything falls into place with planning the big day together! I become more than just a wedding vendor, but a friend along the road to wedding day
Of course her work is amazing, but it was that first phone call and meeting Shelby that made us more than confident in choosing her to work with!
