Hi! I'm Shanyn, and I'm so glad you're here.

 

Capturing weddings to me is so much more than just pretty pictures. Think of me as your built in bestie who happens to have a camera. Need your dress fluffed? I'm there. Need a drink to get through family pictures? I got you. My full intentions, besides capturing your day perfectly, would be to make sure you enjoy your day as stress-free as possible.

My intention is simple: to create space for you to be fully present while I quietly capture the moments that matter most.

What my clients are saying:

Let me start off by saying if I could give 10 stars I would!!! Shanyn was wonderful from start to finish. Wedding planning is already so stressful and not one encounter whether it was email,text,or phone call was stressfull with her. On my wedding day everything seemed to stress me out except shanyn! She was there every step of the way updating me via text etc. Even when someone spilled a drink on the floor My train was in her hands before I could blink! It was like having a crazy talented best friend taking amazing pictures vs hiring a photographer. I had all my wedding pictures in less then a month and they are beyond gorgeous. She has an eye for capturing some amazing candid moments! she definitely will have my buisness for life no matter what the occasion is. Hire shanyn you will not regret it!

SHANYN 👏🏻 TATUM 👏🏻 where do I begin?! Shanyn was my wedding photographer and I can’t even put into words how gorgeous they came out. She captures people in a way that’s truly unique, I don’t know how she does it. If you want some true photography magic, she’s got it. She captured the ceremony, family photos, cocktail hour & reception in such a special way. Thank you Shanyn for getting these precious moments on film!! She is so sweet, even the DJ, decorator AND venue director were enchanted with her. I’ll be recommending her to others and using her for any future photos. As a fellow creative, she has my utmost respect and admiration. ❤️❤️❤️ Shanyn you are the best I am in love with these photos 🙏🏼

Shanyn is the best photographer i have ever used!

She is so much more than a photographer , she is professional and personable.

She quickly became more of a friend because she truly takes pride in getting to know her clients and story telling through her art of photography.

Every time i receive my edited gallery i want to cry happy tears. She truly captures the most intimate moments you will cherish forever !

I could go on for days telling you how much we love using her but if you made It this far just click the book now button and you’ll see for yourself.

What my clients are saying:

We highly recommend Shanyn! We hired her for engagement photos. She was very responsive and organized while booking. In addition, she found a gorgeous background in a park, it looks like a fairytale.


During the photoshoot, she made us both feel super comfortable. I think she is great at giving direction but also having the shots look natural. She played our wedding song for us to dance a little bit too. I also loved that she had a list of shot and poses ideas and asked if i had any requests too. A few hours later we had sneak peek shots!!


We purchased our entire gallery since we couldn't narrow down our favorites. I am making a coffee table book to save and document our Engagement photos with Shanyn. Thanks again!

Shanyn was so kind, fun, and professional. We discussed how my fiancé is not a big picture person, and she managed to make him feel comfortable, get the key shots I wanted, and get us back to partying at the wedding so smoothly. She was helpful with getting us to pose naturally and getting more candid shots. I only have the sneak peek pictures so far and I am so excited to see the rest because those first pictures are already so amazing!

Simply the best! If you’re looking for a photographer look no further! Easy to work with, super accommodating, great pictures and a great personality!
