Shanell is an amazing photographer. She took the time to meet with me and get to know me before the big day which I think helped tremendously!! It made me feel less nervous shooting with her the day of and it allowed me to share some of my inspo pictures.. which she did an amazing job capturing. She was so organized and followed the perfect schedule to ensure all my most important shots were captured. I also loved how much attention to detail she had. I have the best pictures thanks to her and I couldn't be happier!
Where do I start!!! Shanell is beyond talented and will capture your engagement session/ wedding day in a bright, natural and authentic way. As an out of state bride, she provided white glove service going above and beyond with vendor recommendations, timeline help and making planning/logistics stress free. NOT ONLY is her work amazing but Shanell herself is pure JOY! She will make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Shanell is the photographer you book and let her work her magic! She knows all the best locations, styles/poses and how to make photos on a wedding day quick and easy.
We loved working with Shanell Photography for our engagement photos at Cranbrook and wedding photos at Zingerman's Cornman Farms! She was great to work with and made us feel comfortable the whole time. We weren't familiar with the area but she had everything planned out and was our guide finding great locations for photos. In the end everything turned out great and we will definitely look forward to working with her again in the future!
So glad we choose Shanell to be our photographer for our wedding! She is unbelievably talented and our wedding photos are everything I could have imagined and more!!! She is so easy to work with and you can count on her to make sure everything runs smoothly on your day. Shanell also is a huge advocate for her brides which I love I highly recommend her!
LOOK NO FURTHER! Shanell was an absolute dream to work with! Starting with our engagement session she helped plan out locations and made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera! She was so responsive during the wedding process and helped with location questions, my color scheme, helping establish a solid timeline and even ended up driving my husband and I to the church when our transportation broke down! Shanell handled everything with such poise and professionalism that I will continue to work with her for any of my photography needs. Not to mention she truly captured such breathtaking photos! Would HIGHLY recommend if you are looking for a seamless wedding day!
