Monnette Photography

If you are reading this review, this is your sign to HIRE SHELBY NOW! After getting to know her through the wedding planning process and as our wedding photographer, I am now looking for any excuse to book a session with her. Her pictures are GORGEOUS and she is incredible. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera, she is the best hype woman ever, and she is willing to do whatever it takes to get the shot. I was so impressed with her knowledge of photo spots in Ann Arbor (engagement session) and Detroit (wedding). On both occasions, she helped us select locations that gave us such a wide variety of pictures. Any time I reached out to her with help or questions, she responded quickly and with so much kindness and genuine care. She sent our wedding previews less than 24 hours after our wedding, plus shared tons of phone pictures and videos from behind the scenes. On the day of the wedding, she literally had a list of everything I had ever mentioned or sent to her to make sure I got every shot I wanted and more. Shelby is one of the best humans I have ever met! She is beyond professional and I cannot say how comforting it was to have her there with me on my wedding day! 1000/10 photos & person!

Shelby is THE BEST photographer and person. We're incredibly grateful to have gotten to work with her for our wedding in April 2022. She stuck by us through 3 pandemic-related postponements and a venue change. She truly couldn't have been more supportive or kind throughout the whole process. Shelby captured us and the feelings of our day so beautifully! She was the perfect person to have with us for each intimate moment of our celebration. I tend to be a little camera shy, but Shelby made us so comfortable & we trusted her and her craft completely. We also rented her photo booth, which was such a great addition. If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture your day in a way you will treasure forever - seriously look no further! Each image is such a gift. We can’t thank you enough, Shelby!

We had an amazing experience with Shelby and her team at our backyard wedding and wedding reception a year later. We received many compliments on the photobooth, and all the pictures we received are beautiful and timeless. Shelby communicated with me throughout the entire process and was so easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her services.

If I could give Shelby 100 gold stars, I would. I have so many good things to say that don't even know where to start. I fully attribute my wedding day being as amazing as it was because of her (and her second shooter!). Speaking of which, if you think you might want a second shooter, it is so so worth it. You get so many more moments and at different angles. Shelby followed our schedule precisely, she worked with our other vendors, she made everything so much fun and our pictures make me cry every time I look at them (which is every day). We had previews less than 24 hours after our wedding AND our full album in two weeks exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I brag about it to anyone who asks. BTW, when I say FULL album, I mean every single picture which totaled to 1,901. Pictures that I'm sure she didn't think were the best but I love that I can have because every moment was so special. I had no idea where to start with poses and must-have shots, and she was so creative and fun with all of it. She had shot at our venue already so she knew the great spots and the best shots. Have I mentioned the behind-the-scenes- videos she took too??? MIND-BLOWING. I have like 25 little clips of the day that she took (in addition to the videographer) that are so special and fun. Shelby is the BEST, in every way, and I am so grateful that we found her.
