Ontario Wedding Photographer
Documenting your best decision in its natural habitat. Photographed as it actually felt.
13 years of experience and 300+ weddings. Thousands of dance floor shoulder shimmies.
Getting portraits on your wedding day is a given and it’s something that ALL wedding photographers offer.
What if you had a photographer that made it a mission to truly document all the meaning behind this important day. Not stiff traditional poses. I’ve been know to sit in a spot and hold my camera still - waiting the moment to happen, because I see something others don’t - I am patiently anticipating for that scene to unfold so I hold ready and when it happens my fingers hits the shutter “machine gun” frames to get the shot. This makes me different then all the sameness out there - I am giving you these moments other photographers overlook. And I am funny too, so that helps.
BUT what if you could also got these fleeting unique moments that were totally real, and unplanned.
“The best thing about her photos is that she captured the real essence of our wedding, the photos show us how we are - pretty much constantly laughing. After cancelling our wedding and moving to an elopement Shelley was extremely flexible and came along for the ride with us! We cannot thank her enough for the amazing memories she's given us with her photos.”

I am a wedding photographer based in Norfolk County. I photograph weddings across Southwest Ontario in Hamilton, London, Toronto, Guelph, Cambridge etc.
Couples that choose me are not looking to pose all day during their wedding, rather they are drawn to candid photos that reflect the funny moments, the emotional ones and portraits that are thoughtfully composed but still feel like them!
I will guide you through a relaxed wedding day, make sure you have lots of buffer time so you are not rushed. Most of all, I’ll deliver photos that bring back all the feels - the moments you saw and the ones you didn’t.
I’m Shelley. Happy you are here!
“Everyone that sees my wedding photos is absolutely blown away! They are pure magic and better than we could have even imagined. We were literally screaming at the photos in the trees by the dock!
Shelley captured the beauty of the venue, scenery, all the special moments and more. She is easy and fun to work with and provided great direction. Shelley is a true talent!”

Getting married at an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean?
I photograph Ontario couples who are trading banquet halls for palm trees and ocean air.
Destination weddings at resorts aren’t just about the ceremony. They’re a few days of friends, family, sunburns and poolside drinks
I’m there to document all of it.

“Shelley found a way to capture our big day, while somehow going unnoticed through most of the day. We couldn’t be happier with our photos. Shelley was easy to work with, and kept the laughs coming. We have received so many compliments on our photos. We have also received many compliments on how stealthy she was, with multiple people saying “I didn’t even notice her there!!”. She is a true artist, and incredibly talented. We will cherish her work for years to come.”
