About this vendor
Based in Nashville and originally from southern California. I have a background in the studio business, working on set, and being a part of film making for 10+ years. I have filmed and photographed over 150 weddings and take pride in perfection. Building relationships and making clients comfortable prior to their wedding day continues to be a cornerstone to my foundation.
As a videographer, I am constantly producing high end quality films that are uniquely tailored to each couple and who they are through a strong focus on storytelling and engaging audio.
As a photographer, the center of attention is encompassing a journalistic, emotional, and true to color feel to each couples' gallery. Just like my films, my documentary style photography embodies story telling and attentiveness to small details with momentous meaning.

We couldn't be more thrilled with the work Shane did for our wedding. From the very beginning, he made us feel at ease with his professionalism and warm demeanor. On the day of the...
wedding, he was punctual, organized, and so discreet—yet managed to capture every single beautiful moment.
The final video exceeded all of our expectations. Not only did he capture the key moments, but he also beautifully highlighted the emotions, the details, and the overall atmosphere of the day. Watching it feels like reliving the day all over again. We are so grateful to have him document our big day, and we will treasure this video forever.
If you’re looking for a videographer who is not only talented but also genuinely passionate about what they do, Shane is the one! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier wedding videographer.
Shane captured our wedding day beautifully with pure elegance! His professionalism was unmatched and he worked with the other vendors seamlessly. We are absolutely obsessed with th...
e work he delivered. Not only was the quality perfection, but he added personal touches which enhanced it all. We couldn't be more grateful to have worked with such a talented human!
Shane did such an amazing job tailoring our experience to exactly what we wanted for our wedding day! My husband and I are not fans of posing for pictures and requested to get all ...
the posed shots done as quickly as possible. You would think from our pictures that we spent an entire day taking shots! Shane got so many amazing posed photos in under an hour on our wedding day and then proceeded to get some of the most gorgeous candid photos throughout the night! He had such great energy and made both of us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He was also very talented at getting the best shots without being in the way! We barely noticed him taking the candid photos throughout the night, yet he somehow captured all of the best moments. We highly recommend him!
My husband and I got married on 9/21/24 and we loved having Shane cover our day! He was patient (even with a big wedding party + family), helped keep us on schedule, captured a var...
iety of shots, was creative, and very professional. Wherever my husband and I were throughout the day/night, Shane and his partner was there as well. This was great because it reassured us that he was attentive/present in capturing all of the special moments. Our wedding pictures is something we will be able to cherish for a lifetime so of course we wanted them to be perfect. I'm so happy that we chose Captive Visuals to achieve that for us. We were pleased with all of the pictures and the recap video (my favorite!). Overall no complaints!
Picking Shane to shoot our wedding was the best! From the get-go, it felt like he was one of our friends, just hanging out with us and snapping awesome pics all day. He totally bl...
ended in with everyone and caught so many amazing moments.
He actually stayed later than we'd booked him because he had some cool shots in mind. That's dedication! The photos and video are even better than we imagined -he totally nailed the vibe of the day.
If you're looking for a photographer/videographer who's talented and a total blast to be around, you gotta go with Shane. He's not just a guy with a camera; he'll actually feel like part of the crew.

bundle for video and photos and it was definitely the best deal I found compared to other vendors I looked at. Even at the good price, I still received beautiful, quality photos and videos! Me, my husband, our families and friends all absolutely LOVE the gallery. He did a wonderful job capturing the beauty, love and the fun of the whole night. He even stayed a few minutes overtime to capture our exit across the walking bridge to Broadway! We really appreciate the work he put into our gallery and would highly recommend to anyone in the Nashville area!

Amazing! The absolute best thing we did for our wedding was getting Captive Visuals to help tell our story. Shane is incredible.. He brings a kindness that makes all guests feel co...
mfortable and a level of experience and expertise that calmed all of us. The pictures and video we received from our celebration were beyond anything we expected. He absolutely crushed it. We have so many favorites from that day because he clearly knew how to capture the story. It was easily the best day of our life and a huge huge part of that was deciding to work with Shane.
My husband and I were touched by the care and quality given by the team! We can’t thank everyone enough!

These memories will last forever and our wedding video is even better than we could have imagined. Shane, thank you for all that you’ve done and we could not be more pleased with having you as our videographer!

hane is so kind and personable, which led us to choose him in the first place. He listened to our entire vision for our wedding video and went above and beyond to give us our dream! On the day of our wedding, Shane didn’t miss a single moment! He seemed to be everywhere at once and did it so seamlessly! Shane is incredibly professional and thoughtful and is the type of person you just want to be around! My husband and I are not the creative type, so we didn’t entirely know exactly what we wanted for our wedding video, but Shane did! We told him a few words we had envisioned for our day, and Shane made the most perfect wedding video that captured everything we valued! He made sure that it was exactly what we had in mind, and we are so grateful! From the music to the scenes he chose, our wedding video was more than we could have imagined!! We are SO thankful we chose Shane, and we cannot wait to watch our video for the rest of our lives!! It is such a gift to have our video to always remember our special day!! THANK YOU, SHANE!!!
We can’t recommend Shane with Captive Visuals enough! He is one of the most talented photographers I have ever seen. He is so dedicated to his work and truly going above and beyond...
in every way. Not only is Shane amazing at his job, but he is also such a kind and warm human. Shane shot our wedding and reception and did such an incredible job with getting the photos taken, his creativity, and returning out of this world photos to us. He also helped me (the bride) with a special project of making a video of me playing the piano as a surprise to my husband during our first dance. A great example of how Shane goes above and beyond in every regard. Can’t recommend him enough! He will blow your expectations away!
Shane was awesome from the first time we talked with him about our vision. Very professional but at the same time fun to work with. He went above and beyond on the day of our wed...
ding. He exceeded our expectations and poured in so much time and creativity on our video. The video he made will for sure be a treasure of our future family.
If you're looking for an incredible wedding videographer, you've come to the right place. Shane was an absolute pleasure to work with. We knew we wanted a videographer, but we were...
n't sure if we would pursue one since options we saw online would've pushed us over our budget. Shane provided an incredible service that was within our budget and we didn't feel like we sacrificed a thing. As a long-distance couple getting married in a place neither of us lived, we needed someone who was good with communication, open to ideas, and able to give creative ideas and suggestions...all without meeting in-person prior to the big day. Shane did all of that and more. He took the time to gather great shots before, during, and after our ceremony, and he was such a great presence throughout it all! He was calm, helpful, and so much fun. Several guests approached us during or after our wedding day to let us know how great Shane was! He was willing to work with us on ideas and suggestions for our video, while also providing insight from his experience...and the final product came out great. We couldn't recommend Shane and Captive Visuals more. Thanks for helping make our day so great and making something we can look back on happily in the years ahead!
Shane is amazing! He got the BEST shots of my husband & I! Do not hesitate to hire him. I cry every time I watch our wedding video.
Words do not express how grateful we are that Shane was by our side on our wedding day! We initially were not going to do a video; however, I changed my mind at the very last minut...
e and to this day, I still believe we won the lottery with Shane!!! 🥰 Shane was so professional, genuine, and has a heart of gold. He listens very well to your wants/needs and makes sure he does what is in his power to make it happen! We have not yet worked with his photography side, but I have full faith that is in our future! I would highly recommend Shane to ANYONE and everyone I know, as he is one of a kind. Not only did we love him; but so did our family. The amount of compliments we have received about our short video reel AND our wedding video melts my heart. He exceeded every expectation I had in my head and I still can’t find the words to say THANK YOU SHANE, as they don’t quite cut it!! 🥹🥰
There is one word that comes to mind when we think back on our experience with Shane. Perfection! My wife and I had our wedding in California. We knew we were asking a lot of him w...
ith photography and videography. We knew he had a busy schedule and was coming from the opposite side of the country. He guaranteed he would be there on-time, and that our photos and video would look amazing. Shane 100% delivered! He was so easy to work with and communicated clearly with us. We had the opportunity to see a few photos too. WOW! If our preview photos were that good, we can't wait to see what they all will look like. We believe he captured our emotions from that day and who we are as a couple and family in his photos. We could not have asked for a better person to handle such an important part of our wedding day. We are so thankful for Shane.
Shane was INCREDIBLE. So easy to work with & flexible with all the twists & turns of our engagement shoot & wedding day. Our photos turned out absolutely fabulous. As much as I hat...
e taking photos, Shane made it comfortable & quick so we could enjoy spending time with our guests! I also did not notice him at all during the ceremony, but he had to have been all over the place with the amazing angles everything was captured in. Truly an awesome person to work with! I would recommend him to anyone looking.
Shane photographed my wedding in May 2022 and he did a fabulous job. Shane is friendly and easy to work with. Once he accepted the task of being our photographer he reached out to...
us immediately. Shane did a conference call with me and my fiance to discuss our wedding plans. He communicated with us throughout the coming months to confirm our plans. On the day of the wedding I was very busy and a nervous wreck. I so appreciated Shane's professionalism and calm demeanor as he guided us through our day. Shane is such a sweet and gentle man he even helped me and my sister with her dresses. Shane captured everything we asked for. We were very pleased with our wedding photos and video, they were clear and vivid. I would definitely use his services again.
Shane was amazing to work with!! We loved our photos so much!! He even got some great ones of our fur babies and we have three! He was very professional and really listened to what...

One of the single best decisions we made for our wedding day was hiring Shane. I’m not just saying that… Shane was truly incredible. Not only did he capture the spirit of our weddi...
ng and our love perfectly, but he was an absolute joy to have around. His timing was impeccable, and the ease with which he photographed our large family in such a small amount of time was amazing. He went above and beyond to be there, get the shots and made all of our family and friends love him. Our families still talk about him! We could not have asked for a better photographer and are grateful to now call him a friend.
The photography and videography we received was exceptional. It was exactly what I envisioned. I’m also very camera shy but for some reason I felt comfortable with Shane behind the lens. I’m so grateful to have absolutely beautiful photos to remember our special day forever.
Thanks Shane!
SHANE! Phenomenal! We truly could not have asked for a better photographer. Leading up to the wedding, he was very organized and on top of all of the details for the day, reaching...
out to me several times the week of to make sure he had everything down! He showed up ahead of schedule on the morning of, got all of his equipment organized, and then went about shooting all of the detail shots while we finished getting ready. He was very focused on getting the shots we needed, setting up the room and lighting and adjusting if he didn’t like it, and assisting with posing. This continued and only got better as the day went on. He was creative with each of the locations and really made us have a great time during picture taking. I could continue to rave about what a great job he did, but after the wedding we continued to talk about how grateful we were to have him as our photographer! He was so creative, attentive to all of the little details, directive when needed, and allowed us to have such a great time! And now looking at all of the photos, we LOVE THEM! PERFECT!

He did all the wedding photos I asked for and included so many other fun ones I didn’t even think about. My husband blinks in photos all the time and we told Shane that ahead of time.
