Shantel Wall Photography

at is looking for a caring and dedicated professional and we trusted her completely with capturing our most important day.

modating and totally game for any kind of adventure photography we wanted to get “THE SHOT.” 
Also, she was super willing to work with us given that we planned our entire wedding just a few months before it happened since our original wedding ceremony/reception in Texas was cancelled due to COVID. As part of a custom-package, Shantel agreed to do an engagement photoshoot at Rainier. Despite needing to reschedule the shoot several times, Shantel was able to accommodate us. On the day of the shoot we had a fantastic time, trudging through the snow and she gave us several pointers on how to pose to get the look we wanted. She was super creative in positioning us so that even though there were tourists, hikers, and climbers all around us, you wouldn’t even guess they were there! 

A few days before the wedding, Shantel updated us to let us know that the passage to the bottom of the waterfall at Snoqualmie had opened up and that the path was kind of clear save for a few muddy spots. We agreed to go ahead and do our First Look photos at the bottom of the waterfall. 

On the day of the wedding, Shantel was super communicative despite the chaos that was underway. Our videographer was also with us and she invited him to ride in her car to get to the trail that led to the bottom of the waterfall. Once we arrived, we hiked down and began hitting a few muddy spots. Shantel led us through the path pointing out all the muddy spots and guiding us through so we didn’t get dirty. 
At the last muddy spot, every brides worst nightmare came true - I fell in the mud. Shantel helped me up, and as my husband asked some onlookers for some wet wipes, she began quickly assessed the damage and began helping me wipe down my dress. After the mud incident, we kept trudging through fallen logs, slippery rocks, and more mud, with Shantel helping us along the entire way. And despite falling in mud on my wedding dress, Shantel got THE SHOT with a beautiful rainbow coming from the waterfall. The photos honestly don’t even look real, but I know they are because I was there! 
After getting the photos at the waterfall, we trudged back to her car, Shantel kept running in front of us and behind to get more shots, always working to get more photos. She kept reassuring me that everything was fine and that “they can’t start the wedding without you,” which was a huge help despite how stressed out I was. Even after nearly falling in mud a second time and getting my hand completely drenched in mud, Shantel instructed me to wipe my muddy hand on her pants so I didn’t cause any more harm to my dress. She was the wedding day hero I didn’t know I needed. 

After racing back to Salish Lodge, getting my dress cleaned up, and showing up to my wedding ceremony an hour and 40 mins late, I finally got married and Shantel was able to get all of the shots we wanted. She got photos with our families and friends and even super last minute requests from the in-laws. 

Shantel stayed with us almost 2 hours over the originally planned time. Shantel was the most amazing photographer and we were so lucky to have her with us on our big day. 

 Seriously. Hire Shantel. Not only are her photos INCREDIBLE but she’s also incredibly accommodating and up for any adventure to make your wedding photo dreams come true!

so responsive and so fun and easy to work with! & The photos turned out amazing! It meant to much to have Shantel there to take such beautiful photos of our special day. Would highly recommend! ❤️

d to incorporate that! Weddings are known to be hectic and sometimes overwhelming. Shantel brought a happy, calming presence as she worked!

r made us feel like we were inconveniencing her with the changes and adapted within moments (even when it meant jumping out of her car and helping push ours when it broke down on the way to the wedding!) She supported us when we moved to a backyard wedding that followed all safety regulations and graciously allowed us to spilt our hours to next summer when we hopefully can have a reception with extended family. Along with being an incredible person, she has SO much talent being a photographer. She edited unwanted things like signs and cars out of our photos and made us feel so comfortable despite being camera shy! She has such a great sense of style when it comes to editing and taking photos. I couldn’t recommend Shantel enough and we are so glad we get to work with her twice!

g a lake beach overtaken by a bazillion tiny frogs and an off-season ski resort chair lift. We LOVE our photos, and I am usually quite picky about photos. We typically only get a couple good photos from photographers, but the vast majority of hers were absolutely everything we wanted! She is not only a high-quality photographer, she is affordable and her temperament is super fun, yet also relaxed and patient. We can’t recommend her more! Wonderful photographer! Use her, you won’t regret it!💗

l. She really put us at ease and set up expectations for our wedding. She set it up as a practice session for the wedding with poses, staging and responding to feedback on what we are comfortable with. I never once regretted not having my phone on me the day and just trusted her.

photography, I can still remember how sincere and informative she was over the phone and that she made it easy to go over information and no stress at all. Then our original wedding plan had changed and we are so lucky that she is still willing to work with us despite some changes. After that, Covid-19 happen and our wedding plans (wedding date/reception date) become uncertain and created more changes. Shantel was there for us in every situation. Finally, we got to meet her for the complimentary engagement session she provides and it was super fun and our photos she took were amazing and unbelievable. If you're a couple like us who loves adventure, nature and beautiful scenic places together, Shantel is your person. Our wedding day finally came and we ended doing a simple backyard wedding at our own home. Shantel arrived early, captured our special day and she gets along very well with everyone. Shantel cares about us and what we want captured on our wedding day that we even got our photos taken by the waterfront/lighthouse by the end of the day. The day after our wedding she sent us the sneakpeak gallery and they were so beautifully captured. Our family and friends near and far loved them and we are so thankful that we get to share those with them right away. We love Shantel and will choose her again and highly recommends her on your special day and new adventure in life.❤️❤️

hotos. She traveled for both our engagement session and our wedding. We could tell that Shantel cared about us as individuals, not just as clients. She put the amount and quality of work into our wedding photos that you'd expect only close friends and family would receive. Shantel goes above and beyond - we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

st a professional wedding photographer. You can tell this is not just her job, it’s truly her passion. Her eye for detail, her creativity and she knows how to give direction but still keep things fun! She knows how to adapt to unexpected changes, she is super easy to work with and she knows how to make sure the day is about her couples and what they want. I‘ve worked with ALOT of different photographers but I highly recommend Shantel Wall Photography.
