Simone Plus Photography

If I could give Shelby more than 5 stars, I would. Simply put, Shelby was fantastic!! Shelby made me feel at ease throughout the whole day. She also made my non-photo loving husband, feel comfortable through the whole process. 24 hours after our wedding, Shelby sent me close to 80 preview pictures and then had our entire wedding gallery done 3 weeks later - I couldn’t believe it. Every picture is beautiful and exactly how we wanted our day to be captured. We can’t thank Shelby enough! Don’t think twice about booking her!

I can't recommend Simone Plus Photography enough! She did an AMAZING job on our wedding day. She made the day stress free and fun. She was so professional and knew exactly how to get the best shots. She would guide and cue us while taking photos which was super helpful. She was efficient and kind, making sure to include all family members in the shots! I also got all my wedding photos back 10 DAYS AFTER THE WEDDING. Super affordable and high quality. Seriously the best choice we made.

Shelby is by far one of our favorite vendors we have worked with!! When we first started looking for a photographer for our wedding, her work stood out to us immediately. It was natural and happy, but also beautiful! She captured candid moments that represented the day and the couples themselves. When we had our first meeting with her to see if she was someone we wanted to work with, she suggested a different time for the wedding to make sure we had daylight photos for our December wedding and gave us an overall timeline. She was easy to talk to and incredibly receptive to any ideas we had. We knew right away we wanted to book with her! My husband and I can be extremely awkward when taking photos. We get self-conscious about things and we over think every little thing we are doing. Right away, Shelby made us feel comfortable for our engagement photos and it showed in the gallery we received only a few hours later! Mind you, she also took our photos while holding our 65 lb German Shephard/Lab mixed dog when he wasn't in the photos themselves. Over the year, I posted every single photo and every time I looked at the gallery, we found more and more photos I loved. We then did our Christmas photos with her this past October. This time, I let her do whatever she wanted for our poses. Every single Christmas photo I am literally in love with and we used them all over our rehearsal dinner and wedding, in addition to our engagement photos! She even captured so many sunset photos in the very few minutes we had where the sun peaked from behind the clouds and I still have a hard time not obsessing over them! Then came time for our wedding this past weekend. She arrived early and got right to documenting our day! Shelby walked through rain and down hills to make sure we captured every spot we wanted, and the pier photos she captured are literally a dream! She captured so many candid moments of the wedding party and our family and gave me the opportunity to relive our wedding over and over! She also captured the most perfect photos of our fur baby in his suit, as well as, lightsaber photos for my husband! She went with the flow of the day and made everything so incredibly easy!!! She is the sweetest person you ever met and just made me feel so incredibly comfortable, that it really shows in our photos!! My husband worked with her second shooter and said he fit in perfectly with his boys! She was editing our photos during the reception and had 100 preview photos of the whole day sent to us 12 hours after our wedding ended!!! We even received some right as we were leaving our venue and she shot right until the end of the wedding!! We are so excited to see the rest of our photos and are so thankful to have found her for our forever photographer! If you are looking for an amazing, sweet, patient, creative, and easy going photographer, hire Shelby!! You will not regret it!! She will go ABOVE AND BEYOND for your wedding day, even fixing your hair, train and veil to give you the perfect pictures!! Hiring Shelby was the best decision we ever made!! Even our guests loved and complimented her to us, saying just how amazing she was!!

Look no further for an amazing wedding photographer! Shelby brings such a calm, fun energy to your day. With not working with a wedding planner, we didn’t really have an idea for a day-of timeline. Shelby stepped in and created one for us and kept us to it during the big day. She was efficient at getting the shots we wanted done so we could join the party. She delivered our gallery incredibly fast. We are in love with her pictures and also really enjoyed her second shooter for our day, Allison. I can’t praise her enough!

Shelby was great and captured absolutely stunning photos. She was timely at providing final images, and was able to adjust her services in accordance to last minute changes.

Shelby was so so amazing to work with! She is very talented and her photos are beautiful, but more importantly, she is an awesome person to have there on your wedding day! She is so nice and upbeat, communicative and flexible. We had to postpone our big celebration because of COVID and Shelby ended up also photographing our mini ceremony. She helped make both days feel so special. Photos can be challenging with a large group and Shelby is really a pro! She's quick and gives great direction and our entire wedding party was so impressed with her. We will definitely work with Shelby in the future for other photo needs. Highly recommend!

Shelby was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The moment she arrived to my house, she took control and required absolutely nothing from me and made my photo dreams come true. She was so organized and had us be prepared with everything ahead of time and let me know what the timeline would look it. She was so patient and respected all of our wishes! She got the best candid photos and had everyone laughing all day and night! We hired a last minute videographer who was a family friend and Shelby worked so amazing alongside her. I am also so glad we decided to go with a second photographer through Shelby to work with my husband and his groomsmen for the beginning half of the day. She was also amazing and unbelievably patient, especially to work a group of guys who have been friends since they were 5 years old. My favorite part was that I woke up the morning after my wedding and already had preview photos to share with our family and friends. And then a few days later, our whole album was ready! Everyone, including my venue, bridal party, and guests had nothing but amazing things to say about Shelby and her assistant. Such an amazing experience! If you are looking for a fun, easy-going and talented photographer, don't think twice- hire Shelby!

Shelby is an amazing photographer with the best personality. I am not the most comfortable around the camera and she really made me feel at ease, excited, and kept us laughing the whole time! We booked Shelby for our engagement shoot and wedding and the photos are STUNNING! From the moment I had the initial call with Shelby she was personable and easy to connect with. She also produced our wedding album in just a week and provided us with previews less than 24 hours after the wedding! She is just fantastic! She produced amazing photos of our wedding day the only thing I wish I could have communicated with Shelby was to take more photos of me with guests, i did not have any photos with my wedding guests however she did have a second shooter who took photos of guests while we were taking photos with the bridal party. I wish i had a few photos of moments hugging my guests or talking to my grandma etc. But Shelby is great and if i had communicated with her beforehand i am sure she would have captured those moments! I hope to work with Shelby again in the future!

My husband and I met Shelby back in 2019, when we hired her for our June 2020 wedding. In the summer of 2019, we had our engagement photos done by her in Boston, MA and then as we rolled around to 2020, obviously things changed quite a bit!! Shelby throughout the entire process, from when we hired her, through all the Covid craziness, was terrific! She is funny and enthusiastic and works her magic, fast!! We LOVED our engagement photos and while, we moved our reception out to 2021, we had a mini ceremony in our backyard on our original 2020 date. We hired Shelby to photograph this, and I can't tell you how happy I was to have her document the day. She took the such beautiful shots in our backyard! And then, fast forward June 2021, Shelby photographed our wedding reception and did such a fantastic job. She not only took beautiful photographs of my husband and I, she captured such great candids of all our guests. She worked her magic and got us our full set of photos so quickly, we couldn't believe it!! Overall, I highly recommend Shelby for her great work and personality. We will definitely be working with her in the future!!

Shelby is THE BEST!! From the moment we met her for our engagement photos we knew we made the right choice. Her personality is amazing and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We were laughing non stop during the photos and she really captured our personalities in the photos. Our wedding photos came out PERFECT and I couldn't have been happier with the experience we had with Shelby and her team. I will never use another photographer. Shelby recently shot my maternity photos and we plan on using her for every photo opportunity our family has in the future. You will NOT be disappointed if you chose Simone Plus Photography!!!

Shelby is the absolute best!! If you need a photographer then Shelby is it! Look no further. I was scheduled to get married in June 2020. With the Covid restrictions, we pushed our big day to 2021 and had a small backyard wedding. Shelby reached out to us and came to our backyard wedding to help us capture our small wedding day! All my immediate family, my husband and I were extremely grateful for her dedication and capturing our day. Then our big day came this past June 2021. Shelby was so accommodating making sure she knew all the details before hand. As soon as she walked in she got right to work. Shelby also worked fantastic with all the other vendors. Throughout the entire day, she was right there capturing the moments. Not only is she funny, kind, and great to work with she is fast. That night as we got on the trolley to head back to the hotel I had PREVIEWS!! I couldn’t believe it. Then 2 days after that I was emailed my photo gallery. I know this timing is rare, but I absolutely loved the fast turn around. Shelby is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all brides and grooms! I can’t wait to work with her again one day!

When starting our search for wedding photographers we knew the style we were looking for & when Shelby was recommended to us, we knew her work was absolutely amazing. Shelby has been warm, kind, funny & thoughtful since our first phone call. Shelby stuck by our side through Covid & supported us! When we met for our Engagement picture shoot, we loved how personable & down to earth Shelby was. Then when we got our engagement pictures back, it was evident how talented she really was. The attention to detail and learning about us as a couple to perfectly capture our love. We got our preview pics from the wedding & cannot wait to see all the rest Shelby we are obsessed with you & your work! :)

My Fiancé and I had our engagement shoot with Shelby and it was absolutely incredible and better than I ever expected. Not only did our photos come out beautiful, the experience as a whole was amazing. We had such a blast working with Shelby – she made it such a fun and enjoyable time. Shelby is so creative and has such a great eye and knows exactly how to get the best pictures. We had a hard time picking a photo to use for our Save the Dates because they were all THAT good (it’s a good problem to have, I promise). We can’t wait until September 2021 for Shelby to photograph our wedding!

Our family photo shoot was nothing less than amazing! Shelby photographed our little family (me, my boyfriend and our furbaby) on a beautiful beach at sunrise. Shelby made our photo shoot such a fun and memorable time. My boyfriend and I felt so comfortable and enjoyed her great sense of humor. She did so well at capturing pictures of our dog, despite the fact that she was constantly moving! Shelby exuded creativity and positive energy throughout our entire shoot. Our pictures were edited beautifully and they are something that we will cherish forever. We look forward to having Shelby photograph our milestones to come! - Cady, 7/9/20

My husband and I used Shelby for our engagement shoot and wedding pictures and COULD NOT be happier! She was awesome. She listened to exactly what we wanted and our pictures came out amazing! Everyone commented on how beautiful they were. She was unobtrusive and extremely professional. The second photographer was sick the morning of the wedding and she had another one there no problem. It was great because I did not have to stress about anything! If you're looking for a wonderful photographer (and a wonderful human being!) look no further! We can not say enough great things about our experience.

My fiancé and I just had our engagement pictures with Shelby, and we couldn’t be happier with the whole experience! Shelby is knowledgeable, creative, flexible and fun! She kept us laughing throughout our chilly morning sunrise session and we absolutely love the results - amazing pictures we will cherish for years to come! We can’t wait for her to capture our wedding next year. 100% recommend working with Shelby!

SO WONDERFUL! We can't say enough about how great it was to work with Shelby. She is so talented and knows how to get the job done! Shelby's photos really made us feel like we were reliving the entire day! I felt so beautiful working with her and loved all of pictures. She also kept us on schedule which made such a difference because we were able to have time to get all the different types of shots we wanted. Talented, dependable and a true professional to work with! Go with her.

Shelby is amazing. I am so happy we were able to work with her because I fell in love with her photos while I was searching for a photographer. She captured such wonderful moments from our pre-ceremony activities and I loved the final gallery she put together. She had great ideas when we met with her before the wedding and helped us create a memorable wedding day.

Working with Shelby was hands down one of the easiest, best, and most enjoyable parts of our wedding planning. And the finished product --- our wedding album and a ton of really special, memorable ceremony and reception shots -- were even better. How can we say that? She just brought such important elements of knowledge, competence, creativity, and joy to the whole process. We planned our wedding in my home state of Rhode Island from our current home in Pennsylvania, and long-distance wedding planning could easily have become stressful or a hassle. But from the very first phone call, Shelby put us at ease, walked us through a ton of important considerations and lovely ideas, and assured us that we were going to be in great hands (all, I might add, while she may or may not have been in labor with her second child). She immediately understood what my fiancee, Jason, and I were looking for and worked hard to make sure our vision came to life. The communication throughout the lead up to the wedding itself was prompt, open and right on point. And Shelby was an absolute life saver on the day of our very outdoor August wedding when the heavens opened up unexpectedly and rain came pouring down on our ceremony. She took it all in stride and made sure that we and our family walked away with some fun memories and tasteful, adorable wedding shots (clear dome umbrellas and all!) that we will cherish for decades to come. We enthusiastically recommend her work to anyone looking for a great photography partner on their wedding day.

Shelby did my wedding photos 5-26-18. She is amazing I love my pictures she got many different angles I wanted and I have all my photos on an online gallery !!! I will chose her for all my photo needs

Shelby made our engagement shoot feel so easy and fun. She had us do the cutest poses that photographed so well. Highly recommend her! And she’s super sweet!

I couldn’t imagine having anyone other than Shelby taking our engagement photos. Not only did she make us feel comfortable, but met our vision of ensuring our photos looked natural and genuine. She was so patient, had us laughing the entire time, and found ways to use multiple backgrounds for our photos in a single location. I can’t wait to have her take photos on our wedding day!

I can't say enough positive things about our experience with Shelby! From first meeting to follow up after we had received our album, Shelby was attentive and responsive to all our needs. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand our family dynamic, and really keep us comfortable throughout the entire process. On our special day, she kept things flowing, made adjustments when our schedule didn't go exactly as planned, (helped avoid a dress crisis!!) and kept me at ease all day long so I could enjoy our day! Shelby and her second-shooter captured the poses and group shots we had requested, and then suggested many more that we hadn't thought of. Their creativity gave us some amazing shots! These photos now hold some of our most precious memories and we're so proud to display them around our home and those of our families. Shelby had an amazing turn around time for our photos. I was honestly shocked at how quickly our gallery was available. It was so to get and share our images! We highly recommend Shelby and any of her second shooters to couples looking to be at ease with photographs during their big day. Truly someone who puts you first!
