Shelly is more than a photographer, she is a dear friend! She guided us through the planning process for my daughter’s wedding and recommended the best coordinator, florist and other vendors. She was there for us in so many ways! Now about the pictures-they were AMAZING! She took such great care with both the bridal portrait and wedding to give us exactly what we wanted. We have some pictures that are timeless and classic and some that are edgy and fun. She did it all. On top of that, she was dependable, affordable and worked well with all of our vendors. We could not be happier with the end results!
We absolutely loved Shelly Beck and her team! They were punctual, energetic, professional and made sure we were comfortable! They got all the shots we wanted and more! We couldn’t have asked for a better team for our special day! I love her work, she made me feel so pretty in all my shots! ❤️
Shelly Beck and her team were amazing on our wedding day! They helped to capture wonderful posed photos as well as perfect candid photos! Any photo that I wanted they made sure to get and used their creative talents to get photos I would never even think of. I am so happy with this team and love that I hired them to be a part of our day!
Shelly Beck photography was absolutely amazing! From our first zoom call she felt like home. She was not pushy and even told us to really look at her style & even check out other photographers styles to make sure we were absolutely happy with what we were getting. She maintained great communication & was really easy to talk to. In addition to booking her for our wedding we booked bridal portraits with her & she really made my bridal portrait dreams come true & we had so much fun doing them. She was reliable and made sure we had the best for our wedding. She was able to really capture our best day ever & made the whole day fun & took care of me & Trey the day of so we did not get upset or overwhelmed. Our photos turned out amazing & meaningful. Not only is she good at what she does & so fun to work with but she truly feels like home & I can’t wait to continue this friendship the rest of our lives!
Shelly and her team are the best! She's very personable, has fun while maintaining professionalism and will put the bride's needs first! If you want amazing wedding photos and a photographer whose mission is "perfection", hire Shelly Beck.
Even though Shelly was unable to photograph my wedding, it was still amazing! Shelly works along side different photographers and she found the best runner up to photograph my wedding and then Shelly edited the photos. All of the photos are to beautiful and I would do it all over again in a heart beat. I am in love with the photos and they tell the story of our wedding perfectly. 💒👰🤵❤
I've known that Shelly would be my wedding photographer since I graduated from high school. I love how she captured my likeness during my bridal portraits as well as during the wedding. For my bridal portraits, I sent Shelly an inspiration picture. At the location, Shelly scoped out the best location to recreate the perfect photo. We both worked through the summer heat in Texas and beautiful pictures were captured.
Brian and I wanted someone who would take the lead and guide us through our special day, and Shelly did not disappoint. She helped Brian and his groomsmen fix their pocket squares. The one thing I loved most about Shelly is that she wanted to make sure that even the smallest request, like our private cake cutting, was captured perfectly. If you are looking for someone meticulously hardworking and unbelievably talented, Shelly is your photographer!
I looking for a photographer she was honestly my first one I looked for . Immediately she made sure it was all about the Bride and Groom. She is very professional and friendly at the same time. Her kindness love of her job and her photo gallery is what had me hire her. Her photos tell a story from beginning to the end. No matter what package you pick. She is still in contact with us even after our wedding. She makes you feel like family. She made my day feel so special and made sure I was taken care of every moment as well as my husband. She is someone who will always be a part of your family forever . She helps enhance those special memories that you will remember forever.
Shelly is amazing. She made our day so special. She really cares about her couples and her work is phenomenal. We never had any issue with her in communication either. You will not regret going with her.
There aren't enough stars in the galaxy to reflect our level of satisfaction with Shelly and her team. I'm not a photographer, so I'm not going to pretend like I know how she does what she does, but I can tell you she does it best. Shelly and her team are exceptional in every regard. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a professional, organized, caring, devoted, and FUN individual. I cannot recommend her enough, and I am so grateful to call her my new friend. Do yourself a favor and CONTACT HER NOW.
If you want a true professional, Shelly is the one you need to hire. Always prompt, listens to any ideas you may have as a couple, and always manages to turn out an amazing photo. She’s great at capturing personalities in photos and works hard to get the perfect shot. Most of all, she’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever met and that goes a long way when dealing with the stress of wedding planning. She’s so great my family also hired her to shoot portraits. I cannot say enough great things and if you hire her you’ll know exactly what I mean.
Shelly is amazing to work with. She listens to all your wants and needs and makes sure that her Bride and Groom are her top priority. My wife and I loved her and felt right at home from the minute we met her. We recommend her any chance we get.
Shelly Beck was truly a pleasure to work with. I knew as soon as we had our first visit together that she was going to be the one for me. I loved the intimate style of her photos! She is professional, punctual and respectful of her clients time. My wedding would not have been as special without her. I have never met a more beautiful person and my guests loved working with her to capture wonderful memories. Also...major plus...she works with any budget and was able to work out a perfect package with us and we got everything I wanted and more. Shelly if I could I would give you 100 stars!
Shelly was incredible at my wedding. She saved the day with her leadership and melted my heart with the beauty of her pictures. She is one of the best people I have met. I would recommend her to everyone.
Shelly Beck is a talented wedding photographer. She was our favorite wedding vendor because of her passion and positive attitude. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and their needs. You always feel comfortable when having your photo taken. She captured so many magical moments of our special day. We would love to have her at our next milestone to capture precious moments.
Shelly is the best! I mean truly the best! Not only does she take impeccable photos but her genuine support throughout the entire wedding planning process is unmatched. She felt like another planner! From the very get go she offered assistance where ever we needed! She also surrounds herself with the best crew/help. Our engagement photo shoot was so fun! And the photos she captured the day of the wedding were beyond my expectations! Even after the wedding she put in the effort to get our wedding published! One thing that sets Shelly and her team apart is the authentic relationship she builds with you and your fiancé/spouse. We were so lucky to have her!
Shelly was incredible. Not only are her pictures incredible, but she is very kind and very professional. She helped us navigate the wedding day and get all of the best shots in the midst of chaos. She made everyone in our wedding party comfortable. Just look at her portfolio!
I can not say enough amazing things about Shelly and her work. One thing that stood out from the very first meeting my (now) husband and I had with her is her fierce dedication. Not only to her work, but to the people she’s working with. On your wedding day it can easily feel like you’re being pulled in a hundred different directions, but Shelly takes the time to make sure the couple is comfortable and the focus is on them. She is willing to make any idea you may have come to life and execute it so beautifully. Her work speaks for itself and she really does create stunning photos that you will cherish literally for the rest of your life. She’s also a fountain of advice for any questions that may come up. Thanks to her our wedding photos were published 6 different times which was absolutely mind blowing. If you want a photographer with a personal connection that’s willing to put you first then you must hire Shelly Beck Photography.
Shelly Beck went above and beyond! We absolutely loved working with her. She was attentive, detail oriented, and professional. We loved our engagement, bridal, and wedding day photos. At each photography session we were comfortable and having fun with Shelly. She would step back from behind the lens to make sure that we were enjoying ourselves and truly connected with us. She very quickly felt like family. We can’t imagine our wedding day without her. We recently received our prints and the superb quality of her work and photo lab is evident! Shelly gave us photos that beautifully captured one of the most important days of our lives. We cannot wait for our next life event to be captured by Shelly Beck Photography. ❤️ The Garcias
Shelly took the time to listen to our vision and made sure our pictures matched what we had discussed. Each detail was captured beautifully. I am so glad that we booked with her. I can’t wait to cherish these photos and memories forever.
Let me just start by saying that Shelly is an incredible human being that I am so glad to have met! I was referred to her by one of her previous brides who gushed about how great she was and how she made her feel so comfortable, which is huge since you literally spend your entire wedding day with your photographer. We met with Shelly and there was an instant connection! She's charismatic and such a happy person that it's hard not to feel instantly drawn in by her. She worked with us and tailored a wedding day package for our needs! We had our son a few months before meeting her, so the fact that she was able to help tailor a package to fit our needs was extremely helpful! Shelly has an amazing gift and compared to other photographers with the similar talent, she comes at a much more manageable cost. She was also my saving grace on my wedding day! She made sure I was as relaxed as I could be and protected! (That will make more sense on your wedding day!!) The hustle and bustle can get to be a lot but she took the time to make sure I had every picture I might want and made sure to get ones I didn't even think of! I got my pictures back and they're breathtaking. If you want someone who will help to make your memorable day, that much more magical, Shelly is your gal!
We love using Shelly Beck! She always goes above and beyond to make sure the shoot is set up perfectly to how you envision it. I have used her for many photo shoots, recently a Boudoir shoot. She made me feel so comfortable and encouraged and gave me insight on what worked and didn't. She keeps these shoots very professional so that the shots end up very tasteful.
She has great connections in the San Antonio/Hill country area which is very helpful in booking your venue or choosing a venue for a shoot.
Thank you for everything, Shelly!
She was amazing! Captured everything and more that I wanted! Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!!
Shelly is great! She will go to great lengths to get great shots! We really enjoyed her as our wedding photographer! Highly recommended!!
“Oh my goodness, Wow!” are literally the only words I can think right now seeing my wedding photos from Ms Beck! She and her assistants did a fantastic job capturing every detail on my wedding day, and even more all the fun we had! I highly recommend her and her team if capturing your special moments are a high priority to you! She was great!!! 10/10 recommend!!
We love love love Shelly! I can’t say it enough. If you are looking for a personable photographer that truly desires to know you as a person and as a bride and groom look no further. Shelly is very experienced at what she does, knows the area and the venues well, and has great relationships with other photographers around the area- so the second shooter fo your wedding will always be a fantastic artist as well. She was extremely helpful in designing a wedding day coverage package for me that fit our budget and needs. Shelly views her brides as family and it showed in every aspect of our experience with her. We will be using her again!
So glad we chose Shelly to be our wedding photographer! She’s an incredible photographer. She captured our day perfectly and she’s such a fun and vibrant person I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else there she made us laugh all night and came up with creative new ideas for our photos that my husband and I can look back on forever :)
Shelly was very personable and attentive. She has a great eye for perspective.
Phenomenal is one of many words that can be used to describe Shelly and the photography services she provided for our wedding. From the moment we first met Shelly and her daughter, they welcomed my wife and I like family. They were easy to work with and were very open to helping us meet our photography needs at a price that was appropriate for everyone involved. I know many of these reviews are supposed to talk about her photography, but I truly feel that her pictures speak for themselves. You can look at any other review or any of the albums on her website to see what an amazing job she will do for you wedding. The most important thing to mention about our time with Shelly was with how she treated us and the help she offered beyond the lens of her camera. Shelly was more than just our photographer, she was everything to us! I can honestly say that our wedding would not have gone anywhere near as well as it did without every moment she spent helping us. If you are having trouble picking a photographer, stop. You cannot go wrong with Shelly and I promise you it will be the best money you will spend for your wedding
Shelly Beck photography was one of the best investments we decided on for our special day. Shelly is dedicated to her bride, wanting the absolute best for her. She works fast and plans ahead accordingly. Her team is just as good. James is also an amazingly creative individual, together they captured breathtaking moments. Thank you Shelly and James!
Shelly was an AMAZING photographer! She made sure I was comfortable and really listened to all my needs. Thank you Shelly for all of your hard work, and capturing memories that will last a life time.
Shelly was my wedding photographer and I absolutely love my photos! They really are beautiful and something that we will cherish forever! Time for photos after the ceremony became a concern during the planning process and Shelly went above and beyond to bring a 3rd photographer with her. I have so many amazing images from my wedding day! I also did my bridal portraits with Shelly and love they way they turned. Shelly is a very talented photographer and I would recommend working with her.
If anyone is looking for a photographer, you must must choose Shelly Beck! Her and her staff were amazing!! Not only are our wedding photos beautiful, she really helped capture every singe moment which means the world to us! She is very professional and makes you feel at ease that everything will turn out exactly how you pictured your wedding to be. We can’t thank you enough Shelly! Your amazing at what you and your staff do! It was a blast having you at our wedding!
Shelly was amazing! She shot our engagement, wedding, and my boudoir photography! I was way more than pleased and ecstatic with the outcome of the pictures! She made every moment personable and magical! There honestly isn't a single complaint about this amazing lady and her photography skills, as well as her team! Thank you Shelly and team for making my wedding the most memorable and magical experience of my life! I get to relive it every time I look through my pictures!
Shelly went above and beyond for our wedding. She is very professional and thinks of everything beforehand. Our images are everything we could have asked for and more. She worked with our budget and seemed more like a family friend during our wedding process and (even after!) than just a photographer. Shelly and her team captured every moment and detail perfectly. I highly recommend Shelly and her team for any events or photography needs you may have.
Shelly was one of the first vendors we found for our wedding, and we were able to work with her for almost 2 years, through engagements, bridals, boudoir, and finally the wedding day. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also an amazing person to work with. She helped me connect with other vendors that we used at our wedding, and she really made our day special!
Shelly is absolutely awesome. She did our daughter's engagement, bridal and wedding photos. The kids met with Shelly and they did not want to meet with anyone else after their meeting. Mom hit a homerun with Shelly! Bridal pictures done on a day with torrential rains looming and came out amazing. She will not disappoint!
Shelly is amazing! She was such a big help to me in my wedding planning in so many more ways than just photography! We did engagement, bridal and wedding day photos with 8 hrs of coverage and a 2nd shooter for around $3000. She delivered our pictures on time, if not sooner and they are absolutely beautiful! I would highly recommend brides meet with Shelly for a consultation (and subsequentally hire her!) Greatest decision we made in the planning process!
Words do not do justice for how wonderful Shelly Beck and her team are! She has over exceeded any expectations I had and showed an abundance of love to both my husband and I, throughout our entire wedding planning process/wedding day. Shelly is very personable, honest, attentive, accommodating, and shows professionalism unlike any other. She is very prompt with responses, very creative and was willing to help or give guidance with any wedding questions. Shelly and her team were an absolute pleasure and joy to work with, she is such a blessing and a gift to all brides. One aspect that we loved was that Shelly personally edits all her photos and does not send anything off to a third party. Secondly, she builds such a strong connection with all her brides before the wedding day so that the bride and groom on their special day can relax and have complete trust in her. She makes you feel so at home, which truly makes a huge difference in your photos. I could not have imagined having a different photographer for my wedding. Shelly was by far our favorite and the best investment of our wedding!
Shelly did a great job capturing special moments during our wedding and putting together our heirloom album and prints. She was friendly to all my family members, accommodating, knowledgeable, and the price was reasonable compared to a lot of the other photographers we considered. It was like she was one of my friends who was there to help make my day go smoothly, and she stepped in when the coordinator did not. I would definitely recommend her for weddings or any other special events.
I asked my husband if he'd like to add anything else to my review, and he just said, "Amazing." It's true! We both loved having Shelly as our photographer.
Shelly took our engagement pictures and all I can say is wow!! We loved them all and she made us feel so comfortable while taking them. Shelly is such a sweetheart and you can tell she loves what she does. We definitely recommend her to anyone!!
Where do I even begin? Shelly is outstanding! From engagement session, to boudoir, to bridals, and wedding she has been with me through it all!! Can't wait to use her again!!!!!
Shelly and her team are amazing!! They do absolutely everything they possibly can to get the perfect pictures and are so professional and kind! She gives YOU exactly what YOU want. She caters towards YOUR needs and does so with a beautiful smile.
Without a doubt Shelly is the best option out there. She is sweet, fun, and does an amazing job! I did not have to worry about a thing with her. She captured every moment possible, and the pictures turned out truly beautiful. I would recommend her any day.
My husband and I met Shelly at a bridal open house at Bella Springs a few months before our wedding date. We still had not booked anyone and I was starting to freak out a good bit. I was trying my best to be a DIY bride- between a cross country move a and a wedding- I was a crazy woman on a mission. Shelly had a calming aura to her- that stuck around long after out first interaction. Which lead us to booking our wedding date with Shelly Beck Photography. I can't even put into enough words how amazing it was to work with this wonderful woman! She has a real eye, and heart that spills into her photography. Matched only by her personality and charm I would most definitely recommend Shelly and her team to make you special moments just that much more. Investing in photography was a tough choice, but you should never regret having those memories captured- and you most definitely will not regret working with Shelly! Best overall personalilty, professionalism, performance, product and not to forget price! Shelly helped not just with photography but she has so many connections that she helped get me in contact with other vendors for my big day! To top it all off- she travels! So book this woman some destinations! She deserves a little vacation for all the hard work that goes into making your big day her main focus!
Shelly and her team are nothing short of incredible!! Shelly made me, my Mom (who is normally very uncomfortable getting her picture taken), my husband, and all our family and friends feel SO comfortable and at ease while she and her team were taking our photos. It was an absolute blast working with her, and getting to know her. I felt like I could completely count on Shelly, I had absolute faith that our photos would turn out amazing (THEY DID!!), and she is so sweet, and so fun. She felt like part of the family just a couple hours into the wedding day, and I've been missing her ever since (I live in a different state). Once again, all the photos are utterly breathtaking. I will definitely be keeping in touch with Shelly, and hopefully working with her for future family events. I wholeheartedly recommend this incredible woman, and her fantastic team.
Shelly is so AMAZING to work with. From the moment you meet her, you will adore her. She is personable, professional, detail orientated, listens to what you want, and flexible. Did I mention she's amazing at what she does? The day my husband and I took our engagement photos, it rained all morning. We took them at The Pearl and from the way our pictures came out, you would have never know that we were dodging the rain all morning. I took my bridal portraits at the McNay Art Museum, which turned out beautiful. When I finally showed my husband he couldn't pick a favorite. They were truly incredible. My wedding day photos were even better! From the details of my dress hanging on a dress with the ceremony site in the background, to the bridal party getting ready, everything was perfect. The best part was that Shelly and her team captured moments during our ceremony and reception that my family will always treasure. Thank you so much, Love you Shelly!
Shelly Beck photography did an outstanding job. In addition to providing us with a portfolio of excellent pictures of our special occasion, Shelly went beyond the call of duty to make sure everything was perfect to the point where it was like having an additional wedding planner. She also did an excellent job of communicating to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and even added an additional resource on the day of the wedding to make sure. We would not hesitate to recommend Shelly for a wedding or special event.
Shelly was so easy to work with. She took the best pictures and captived all the moments that mean so much to us! Wonderful team she had too!
Shelly with Shelly Beck Photography was seriously the BEST and easiest decision I made regarding wedding planning. Shelly and her team were always extremely professional and personable. All of our photos turned out beautiful and we are so thankful for that. Shelly truly takes the time to become invested in each wedding she does. Not only did we find a great photographer, but also a life long friend! I would highly recommend using Shelly Beck Photography for all your photography needs!
Shelly went over and beyond for our wedding and our pictures are ones you will truly treasure a lifetime. I would recommend her to anyone needing pictures. Her pictures are not just your normal bride and groom but unique to you as a person. Shelly will be your friend at the end versus your photographer.
Shelly answered questions promptly and asked me good question about what I wanted before the wedding. The pictures turned out beautiful and her editing was fantastic. The only complaints I have are she was a little too pushy at times, and I wish there were more candid pictures of the reception.
Shelly is an amazing photographer, but she also became a wonderful friend. She really helped keep my wedding and me together. She and her team truly go above and beyond for all of their brides. She is an amazing person and a talented photographer. We could not have hoped for better.
Professional, beautiful photography! Shelly really worked with my budget and requests. Photographs for the bridal shoot and wedding day were perfect and exactly what I was hoping for. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or photographer during that very special time. Thanks forever Shelly!!
Could have sworn I had already given 5 stars! Anyways. Here's my story. We met Mrs. Beck at a bridal expo and when she asked us if we knew our wedding date we kind of laughed and told her we were waiting for the 2015 Texas A&M Football Schedule to come out before setting a date. Most of the other photographers didn't understand but Shelly did 100%! Needless to say we hit it off and we booked. Leading up to the wedding we had a few sit downs to discuss what all we wanted shot. She took my beautiful (then) fiancé and took amazing bridal portraits in the middle of nowhere. Come wedding day it was a monsoon but we had to make due with what we had to work with. Her team was huge help and did an amazing job in getting us in the right positions as well as getting those quirky random shots when you didn't know they are shooting! Even though it was sprinkling outside she asked us if we didn't mind getting a little wet to do or shots outside. We were game! We got those prints back and they turned out amazing! The back lighting makes the rain drops look like stars. This woman is creative, so let her run free and you will NOT be disappointed!!! Love you Shelly!! -The Russell's
Shelly was so great the day of my wedding as well as my bridal portraits. She went over and beyond my expectations. When it came to my bridal portraits, she went out of her way and asked a driver of an old classic car who had just dropped off another bride and groom at there reception if he would mind if she got a few shots of me with his car. To which he said of course, this made me so happy since my dad loves classic cars. The day of our wedding went so smoothly, she took charge and got some great pictures and both her and her staff were so helpful. They certainly felt like family to us that day.
I found Shelly Beck Photography on google and was so exicted after meeting with her. She really does care about every bride and you can see that just by the way she talks with you. Photography is a true passion for her. She isn't over priced like most photographers and she even gives you a personal relationship and customizes everything to your needs. My package was custom and incluluded engagement, bridal, and 6 hours day of. Turn around time was fast compared to most. The staff she brings with her is professional and fun. I truly am blessed to have her as my photographer and friend. She will continue to do photography for myself and family. All of her photos were stunning and she captures actual genuine moments and doesn't alter them! Super talented!!
