couldn't ask for a better photographer. Shane captured everything we asked for and more. He was so easy to contact, and was insanely quick at capturing beautiful photos. He also had 40 sneak peaks up the next morning! Cannot recommend him enough for all your wedding needs. You can tell he genuinely LOVES his work, and his knowledge and talent is easily seen in his photos.

Shane was amazing and so easy to work with! We hired Shane for our wedding photography, and he was kind, professional, and energetic. You can tell he loves what he does, and is fantastic at capturing your day, especially the candid moments. He makes you feel special and comfortable behind the camera. From the first communication with Shane, I knew he was perfect. He is quick at responding and provided a great timeline for us right away that we were able to build our day off of. Shane has so much experience and was familiar with the venue so knew where the best places to take pics were! I would absolutely recommend Shane to anyone looking for a photographer, especially for your wedding!

Let me start by saying how amazing Shane is. Shane did our engagement session and then did our postponed pandemic wedding. He was so easy to work with when we decided to reschedule...

our wedding from 2020 to 2021. He made the process quick and easy. He was responsive to any and all emails and answered every question we had. Shane was ABSOLUTELY amazing on our wedding day. It was almost 100 degrees out in July but his excitement for taking photos never stopped. He had us feeling so special on such a huge day. He drove all over from church to venue to each parents house to take the specific photos we really wanted. In addition, he was so easy and so fun to work with. Without a doubt Shane will capture your special day and all of life's moments in between with gorgeous photos that will last a life time. I cannot recommend Shane enough. He truly is such a wonderful person who does amazing work. You wont regret it if you use Shane for your big day or for any event. Thank you Shane for making our day so special and for capturing all of our favorite memories. We hope you had as much fun as we did!

Shane is truly a professional and you can sense his passion for the art of photography. He really makes the bride and groom feel special on their big day with his positive vibes! ...

He made everyone, including the bridal party, feel comfortable during the process. Based on the edits that we have received so far, it is clear that he has a talent for capturing people at their best in natural moments. We would highly recommend using him and his friendly assistant for photos and videos of your wedding!

tails and listened to what we wanted even though he already knows exactly what to capture. He made a timeline for me because I was overwhelmed. Shane is very experienced and knows his stuff. He makes you feel so relaxed and made us feel like super models. He has such a kind and friendly personality which made it even better. After our sunset engagement pictures, I knew he would be the best wedding photographer. I now want to use him for all professional photos that we need. He was also kind enough to drive a few hours to do our engagement shoot! Shane arrived very early on both the engagement photos and wedding day. I am forever thankful he was our photographer and couldn't be more pleased with his work! Thanks Shane!!!
