Shane and Ana are absolutely wonderful. I am still baffled by the beauty of our wedding photos. Shane's attention to detail on the wedding day and ability to find the perfect lig...
hting for the photos is amazing. Shane and Ana's communication up until the wedding day was outstanding. They are very responsive and accomodating and make sure they understand 100% what the bride and groom want. Shane was also incredibly easy to be around and was able to make the photo shoot portion of the day easy and fun!! I would absolutely book Shane Long Photography again.
There aren't enough words to express how grateful we are to have had Shane & Anna help capture our most special day. From my experience as a bride, I would say with 100% confidence...
that the most important component that went into wedding planning was making sure we found the perfect photographer. From the very beginning, Shane and Anna made the process SO easy and helped ease our minds that all of our needs would be met, and all photos on our checklist would be taken care of! They even helped with timeline planning and answered miscellaneous questions for us. To this day, we continue to get compliments on not only how stunning our photos turned out, but Shane's professionalism and engagement with the guests. He was amazing at capturing posed photos during scheduled photo time, and then the rest of the time he blended in with guests capturing the most amazing candid moments. My bridesmaids appreciated the guidance he provided us with poses and his constant attention to detail to make sure every hair was in place! One bridesmaid loved him so much, she booked him for her wedding too! We also received our photos within TWO weeks! You won't get that from anyone else. Today, on our first wedding anniversary, we plan to watch our wedding video and go through all of our gorgeous photos! If you're hesitant on a photographer or struggling to find the perfect fit -- seriously look no further...it doesn't get better than Shane Long Photography. You'll treasure the photos for a lifetime.
Shane took photos for my brothers wedding a few years ago and the pictures he took were stunningly high quality, well beyond any wedding photographer I had ever seen. Needless to s...
ay, we knew exactly that's why we wanted Shane, however we couldn't have anticipated the impact that Shane would have on our wedding day from start to finish. He brings an ineffable amount of experience, helping guide us through our big day with ease and excitement. It was more than we bargained for, our wedding day would have been far different had we not had Shane. Especially after driving 5 hours down on the morning of and going strong all the way until late into the night. We are truly grateful!
Working with Shane and Anna was one of the best decisions we made in regards to our wedding day. From the beginning, the organization and communication was outstanding! Shane worke...
d with us to make our engagement and wedding photography vision a dream come true. He helped construct a timeline, so that none of our must have photo moments were missed. He is so much fun to be around and overall helped our wedding day move seamlessly. Anna worked hard behind the scenes to make sure our photos got to us promptly after the wedding. We have had nothing but wonderful comments about our photos - they are so beautiful! My husband and I would hire Shane and Anna again, in a heartbeat!
Shane and Anna are the best of the best. From our first meeting, through receiving our final images, there was such attention to detail and service. They are truly a talented tea...
m! Shane captured our day perfectly, keeping everyone from the parents to the flower girl comfortable and at ease while effortlessly documenting every tender look and showstopping moment. Anna kept us in the loop and made us all look like magazine material before sending us our images less than a week(!!!!) after our wedding. Everyone who has seen our images has raved over them and before my wedding day was even over, I was hearing comments from friends and family about how incredible our photographer was. There's no doubt that we will be turning to Shane and Anna again (and again) whenever the future holds more special moments that need captured!
Shane and Anna were fantastic to work with and very communicative through the entire process. They are the sweetest couple and sent us reminders to take deep breaths from all the p...
lanning by sending us treats like tea and hot cocoa. Shane immediately put both my husband, Jamie and me at ease on our wedding day. I can honestly say that Shane made our wedding day go smoothly because of his professionalism and calm. Jamie and I decided to do a "first look" and I can say that was the best part of the whole wedding day. To have an hour to ourselves before the ceremony was priceless and the results were beautiful. I'll cherish those photos for many many years to come. Finally, Anna was able to work her editing magic and we were able to see all of the finalized photos way sooner than we originally thought. If you want amazing, intimate, and beautiful photos, please book Shane and Anna. They are wonderful!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Looking at our wedding photos almost 2 years later, I'm sure I can come up with a lot more. Not only was it a pleasure to work with ...
Shane, his work is simply amazing. He made everyone so comfortable taking photos. We have received countless compliments about our pictures. I know to some it may seem daunting choosing a wedding photographer, let me save you the hassle. You are making the right choice if you choose Shane and Anna. We are beyond happy with the way all our photos turned out. His demeanor was icing on the cake. As we print out photos to hang up, we can't help but smile. He made that day perfect to remember.
Nothing but amazing things to say about Shane and his wife Anna. The attention to detail that these two have is amazing!!! Our wedding photos came out SPECTACULAR!!! They also got ...
them back to us very fast. Our wedding day would not have been the same if it weren't for Shane Long Photography! Would highly recommend their work if you are looking for someone who is extremely professional but also knows how to enjoy being on the job!! Thank you for the amazing work :)
Shane was the perfect photographer for us and if we could give him more stars we for sure would. He did both our engagement and wedding photos and we are so happy with how they all...
turned out. The engagement session was a breeze and Shane had great ideas the whole time. The wedding went so smooth, it was great having Shane there to make sure the timeline was in order and he was a true professional. His wife did an amazing job with the photo edits as well. They were both great to work with and we would recommend them to anyone! We look forward to booking them for future events.
Truly a professional and a class act. The quality of the photos, his visions of what would work, and the way he handled our people was excellent. Even the groomsman complimented ...
his work.... Perhaps the best investment we made to remember our wedding day.
A Very happy pair of newlyweds!
10/10! Shane and his wife Anna have been one of our favorite vendors to work with throughout the wedding planning process. We initially did our engagement pictures with them and th...
en had such a wonderful experience we did not even hesitate to have Shane Long Photography shoot our wedding day. The process was smooth from the contract, day of timeline, over view phone call- all these were great! My only feedback is payment process could have more reminders and easier payment method. Maybe more payment increments or more payment options?
We loved our wedding photos and truly something we will have for a lifetime! We received so many compliments on how Shane was able to capture our day!
We had an incredible experience with Shane and his wife Anna! They are both so fun and professional to work with and have an amazing touch for photography! We were so pleased with ...
how fast we got our photos back also. Highly recommend for any occasion!
Shane’s ability to make us feel comfortable with our awkward selves was truly amazing. He’s super experienced, knows what he’s doing, professional, and his communication turn aroun...
d was fast! A lot of vendors took days to respond, but Shane and Anna were on too of their game! Picking Shane to be our photographer was by far the best decision we made when it comes to our wedding! Every one of our guest raved about Shane and asked for his contact, so I highly suggest him. You won’t regret it. I’ve had photo shoots with other photographers and Shane’s style and personality is definitely one you want for your wedding. Thanks Shane & Anna!
Choosing Shane and Anna was the best decision we could have made for our big day! They captured our love and the beauty of our wedding perfectly! Shane and Anna couldn't have done ...
a better job! They made us laugh and feel comfortable. Nothing felt forced or awkward. They have a way of making you feel beautiful and capturing that beauty. I think the price is completely worth the product. They also sent us little fun gifts during our wedding planning, like a movie date night and also a card to help us remember why we were planning and to remind us to take a break and spend time with each other. Every single photograph is beautiful and I am incredibly happy that we chose to work with Shane and Anna! <3 <3
Shane Long Photography was by far the BEST decision we made about our wedding! Shane and Anna Long are an AMAZING team. If you're looking for a wedding photographer you will not be...
disappointed with them! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning. Shane used the natural light at our wedding venue to take such clean and genuine photos. He always has his camera ready and he caught so many moments that we will treasure forever. Our friends and family have been raving about how good our photographer is. Also, Anna got the photos edited and back to us in just over one week after our wedding. One week!!! We had our photos when we got back from our honeymoon and were able to show all our friends at work. Now my biggest struggle is deciding which photos to print and hang on our walls. They are all too good! We'll definitely be using Shane for family photos in the future. Shane and Anna are the best!
We had the pleasure of having Shane as our wedding photographer. He and his wife Anna are so talented - Shane captures the shots, and Anna perfects them. The wedding planner at o...
ur venue recommended Shane to us, and it quickly became clear why! They went above and beyond to deliver amazing photos.

their best. Shane and his wife are an amazing team! Our family and friends cannot stop raving about our photos. We couldn’t be happier with our photos!!
Shane was incredible! He has a keen eye where he picked up moments that could be missed and framed pictures so they jump off the page after. It is a joy to look at our pictures bec...
ause Shane did such a great job planning, shooting, and editing. He was super generous where he scouted the wedding and reception facilities and their grounds and found some incredible scenes that a photographer would miss had they just shown up.
He was incredibly quick getting them back to us and legitimately blew us away. The pictures in his samples are the status-quo for quality where every picture is incredible.
He also was such a blessing for planning the day where he gave us us pro-level scheduling advice.
Amazing!!! So easy to work with, and Shane goes above and beyond to get such amazing photos! Loved every minute of working with them :)
Shane was amazing to work with! Shane and Anna were extremely helpful with the whole process! They were quick to respond when we had a question for them about our wedding day and t...
imeline! Shane’s energy made us feel natural and helped the day go even better than we thought! We can’t recommend him wnough!
We are so blessed Shane was there to document our day!!! I'll be honest, as the groom I didn't have much concern regarding who we chose for our photographer. I figured a picture is...
a picture but thankfully my wife thought otherwise. Despite some on and off rain and gloomy overall weather, Shane crushed it throughout the day. He was great to work with and blended in with the group with ease. I still get goosebumps looking through our wedding pictures close to a year down the round. Thank you Shane!
We LOVED having Shane Long as our photographer. He is super personable and has a very keen eye. We love our photos.
Your photographer is someone you spend basically ALL DAY with o...
n the biggest day of your life. Shane was amazing. Like I said, he is very personable, but he also knows that this isn't his day, it's yours. He gives you space to enjoy it, and has this ability to almost blend in and take those special moment shots without you really noticing.
You are going to want a photographer that takes amazing pictures as well as one that you'll enjoy having around on your wedding day. Shane is the guy!! Save yourself some time and stop looking for a photographer... book Shane Long today!
If I could give 20 stars I would!
Shane and his wife have been amazing to work with from our engagement photos to our April blizzard wedding! He rolled with the punches and even en...
ded up driving me and my bridal party safely to my ceremony when the uber never showed up!
He gets the photos up SO fast, and we are STILL getting compliments on how amazing our photos are! He braved the historic blizzard and ended up with some beautiful outdoor (and indoor) photos for us that we will truly treasure forever.
Even prior to the wedding, they kept in contact with us and even sent us some pre-wedding gifts that were just so sweet and personal!
I will HIGHLY recommend Shane to everyone, there is no one else I would rather have had and I intend to have an ongoing relationship with him for our future family photos :) 100% worth every penny! Lifetime treasures!
Thank you again Shane and Anna!
We can't thank Shane enough for the wonderful photos and experience he provided during our engagement session and on our wedding day. He was very open to suggestion, ideas, but als...
o brought his own unique vision. We constantly get comments from family and friends about the amazing photos he took on our wedding day and how easy going he was to work with. We have recommend Shane to any of our friends and family who are looking for a high quality photographer.
Shane and Anna both have very bright and joyful personalities, which helps them always bring out the best possible finished product. There was not a doubt in my mind that when we g...
ot engaged who our photographer would be! I have known Shane and Anna for many years, and I have seen the work they have done beyond just our engagement and wedding session. Shane was so easy and fun to work with and he captured endless perfect moments from our big day that we get to cherish forever. Anna did a beautiful job editing and putting the finishing touches on our photos and getting them back to us in a timely manner. We have gotten so many compliments on how wonderful our pictures are, and it assured me that we made the right decision in choosing Shane Long Photography. Shane and Anna, I truly cannot thank you enough for all the love and hard work you put into capturing our day!!! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone!! It’s definitely worth the price when you get to work with two amazing people! :)
You won't find a better wedding photographer. Each of the photos from my wife and my engagement shoot and our wedding perfectly captures our unique relationship. The photos are per...
fectly magical and genuine at the same time. Relatives that couldn't make the wedding feel like they were there because the photos are so alive! In addition to taking amazing photographs, Shane is incredibly personable. From the moment you meet Shane, you feel like you've known him your whole life. He made my wife and me feel comfortable with all our wedding jitters, happiness, goofiness, and intimacy. He managed to get little kids to stand still and made my best man look respectable, so we're convinced that he can literally work miracles. We can't imagine a better experience with a wedding photographer, and we recommend Shane Long to anyone who listens.
I have been a fan of Shane’s work for a few years now so I there was no doubt in my mind when we got engaged who our photographer would be. I even checked with him before setting a...
final date to be sure he was available! I could not be more happy with the whole process. We really wanted snowy engagement photos, and Shane was so flexible with last minute changes as there was not much snow on our scheduled date. That flexibility continued on our wedding day. Shane was up for any last minute photo requests or schedule changes. He was so easy to work with and captured countless perfect moments. Anna was amazingly quick to get the images back to us and put so many perfect final touches on the photos. I can’t tell you how many compliments I have gotten on Shane and Anna’s work!
I knew I wanted to go with Shane the moment we met him. I’m not super comfortable being in front of a camera and he was so easygoing and friendly that he made me feel way more comf...
ortable. He gave enough direction to make us look good without looking over-posed or unrealistic. The day of, he kept everything flowing (almost like my day of wedding planner!) and kept everyone on the ball so we didn’t miss out on any shots. He and Anna were so easy to work with and truly two fantastic human beings. I recommend them to all my family and friends getting married in the twin cities area!
Shane took our pictures at our July wedding and he did a fabulous job. Despite a large family and kiddos not wanting to cooperate he pulled through and they turned out amazing!! Ye...

We could not be more impressed and happy with how amazing our wedding photos turned out! We knew we made the right choice before we even saw the photos, because Shane made our day ...

s of fun! Shane was full of encouragement and great ideas, and the pictures turned out beautifully. We are so happy with this service- can't recommend him highly enough!
Shane is the man. Everyone that has seen our pictures immediately comments on how AMAZING they are. Shane and Anna did an amazing job from start to finish. Shane really connected w...
ith us, first at our engagement session and even more so on our wedding day. We are beyond happy with our experience with Shane and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who wants to work with a rad dude and have amazing pictures!
Where to begin! Shane, his brother Luke (as a second shooter) and Anna made our wedding photography experience truly flawless. Aside from my groom and I being extremely grateful, ...
our guests and wedding party were immensely impressed.
From the beginning they have been easy, quick, and flexible to work with. From the Engagement session to the Photo gallery after the wedding, they went above and beyond expectation.
Other than the photos being absolutely STUNNING. Here are ten things we especially loved about Shane and Anna, in no particular order.
1. We received our photos back DAYS after our wedding. DAYS- that's absolutely amazing.
2. Shane even had a few photos running on a slideshow during the wedding from earlier in the day, a fabulous surprise and it impressed several of our guests.
3. Shane and his brother were so kind, patient and creative at getting our younger wedding party (stubborn 2yr old flower girl) to smile and cooperate. He even brought a toy and got her to smile in several pictures. Bottom line- He's amazing with kids.
4. They captured decorations, food and moments of the day that I cannot believe they caught. I have no idea when they left to capture them, but I am so thankful they did. It truly gave us a broader perspective on how are day looked from our guest perspective.
5. When our timeline was off, he voluntarily stayed later than he was contracted while genuinely keeping a smile on his face. He didn't charge us extra and the photos from those last moments are ones we will treasure.
6. Shane and Anna sent us thoughtful messages and gifts throughout our engagement to remind us what was truly important- our relationship and love. Something we never expected from our photographers!
7. They were quick to respond to emails, concise and straightforward and SO easy to work with. Organized and thorough throughout the planning process.
8. Shane and his brother Luke were great at positioning and posing even the very least photogenic crowd! They were polite, kind and professional at adjusting things and helped us look and FEEL natural for photos.
9. Shane was full of ideas. He led us into photos and lighting that we would've never thought of and honestly, they are now our favorite pictures!
10. Our other experienced vendors, including our videographer whom worked closely with Shane the wedding day, were very impressed with Shane. They all commented on what a joy it was to work with him from their perspective and genuinely hope to work with him in the future!
11. BONUS because I couldn't fit it into ten, they are downright wonderful people. It was like working with a friend with the above and beyond professionalism.
We will be recommending Shane and Anna to several couples. They are BEYOND worth the price. For the rest of our lives as we look back at our wedding photos, we will be so grateful we picked Shane and Anna! Best decision of the wedding (besides marrying my best friend ;).
Words cannot express how happy we are that we got to work with Shane and Anna on our wedding day. Every bride knows that choosing a photographer is a big choice- it is really the o...
nly thing you get to keep from one of the biggest days of your life. Shane Long Photography went above and beyond in every way- capturing photos I didn't even know I wanted, working along side everyone to make it all flow smoothly, and making us feel so comfortable and special throughout the whole day. Shane and Anna were helpful and supportive throughout the whole wedding process- even beyond the pictures! Their attention to detail and their passion for what they do is so clear in the product that you receive. We got our pictures back quickly and they were more than worth every penny. I can't recommend Shane Long Photography enough- thank you Shane and Anna for everything!
We could not have gotten any luckier having Shane and Anna do the photography for our wedding! They are truly amazing! Everyone in our wedding party commented on how great a job Sh...
ane did and how fun he was to work with! He even got my two year old niece and nephew to smile! All of our pictures are truly amazing and captured the day so perfectly! We made sure to get them printed and up on the walls of our house so we can look at them every day! For someone who does not always love having their photo taken, Shane makes you feel comfortable in front of a camera and it shows in the beautiful photos!
Shane and Anna are truly amazing. They went out of there way to personalize our experience with them and our pictures took our breath away- There are a million photographers out th...

e camera. He captured every moment perfectly and his attention to detail is second to none. We get so many compliments on our wedding photos and people are constantly asking who our photographer was! He was a delight to work with! Our first meeting with him (on FaceTime because we live in different states) was so fun and he really cared about us as a couple and wanted to know our story. We felt so special that he took the time to get to know us, our story, and what we wanted captured on our wedding day. We are beyond thrilled with the pictures that he took! So grateful for you, thanks Shane!!
We searched around for a good affordable photographer that was really good at detail. It was so important to us to capture the best of the best since we only did this ones. We we...

No review can actually express the extreme gratitude we have for everything Shane has done to capture our wedding day. From the minute we started working with him beyond the delive...
ry of our photos it has been perfect. I can't imagine a more beautiful product or a better person to spend your wedding day with taking photos. The entire day people were walking up to me saying how much they loved working with the photographer and how he it was the best experience they had ever had being in a wedding. Not to mention his artistic eye and ability to pose people left us with photos that are breathtaking. Don't hesitate when thinking about booking Shane! It will be the best decision you make for your wedding day!

You will not only love your photos from Shane Long Photography but you will be beyond blessed to have him photograph your special moments. We look forward to having him capture more of our special moments in the future!

Being photographed was a new experience for me and I was a little bit nervous about how to pose and what to do. My nerves immediately went away the moment I met Shane. His etiquette and style of photographing makes you feel at ease and he makes the time spent together so much fun. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. You're not just another client with Shane. He is genuine, fun, and so talented. Everything from high quality photos, to excellent work ethic, to every special moment captured on camera. It's a complete package worth every penny!
Amazing!!!! After 3 years we are still obsessed with every.single.image that Shane captured on our big day. With photographers in the family we knew we had to be picky and get the ...
very best for our wedding day, and Shane (and his wife who edits behind the scenes) is just that! We still get compliments on our "awesome photographer" from anyone who was at the wedding or has seen photos from that day. Super easy and fun to work with, yet professional and SO skilled at what they do. Would highly recommend Shane Long Photography to anyone looking to have the VERY best (for a super affordable price) on their big day.
