finding the right photographer
You want your day to feel meaningful and your photos to creatively and authentically capture it — without the stress.
You’re planning something different. Something smaller, intentional, and yours. Maybe it’s an elopement on the beach. Maybe it’s a quiet micro wedding in your favorite place. Either way, you know what matters most: the connection, the peace, and the story that unfolds.
At this point, you might be feel overwhelmed with the options and where to start. Here’s the thing: I’ve done this hundreds of times, and I’m here to guide you through the entire process and photograph all the details, so you can relive your perfect day over and over.
After 13 years and 300+ weddings, I’ve learned how to keep things easy, comfortable, and fun. My couples say they love that I bring calm energy to the day and create photos that feel like them. Whether you’re planning a no-fuss beach elopement or a backyard celebration with your closest people, I’ll make sure you walk away with photos that tell your story in the most honest, timeless way.
"We are extremely happy — thrilled with your work!" – Matt & Christy
"They captured every moment of our day so perfectly!! Couldn’t have asked for anything more of them!" – Chloe
"You’re truly an artist, Shaye. Thank you thank you thank you!" – Lauren & Alex
When you book me, you’re getting more than someone who just shows up with a camera. Here’s what every couple can count on:
-
a guide to walk you through the entire planning process from dreaming up your perfect day to all of the legalities involved
-
a calm, relaxed presence (no stress, no drama)
-
sneak peeks within 24 hours
-
your full gallery delivered in 3 weeks
-
a mix of relaxed portraits and candid storytelling
-
13 years of experience and solid backup systems to protect your memories

I’m committed to creating a safe space and spending time with each of my couples through the planning process and delivering your gallery quickly. Why? Because I believe your photos should be ready while the memories are still fresh. I also know it can be difficult for family and friends to feel included. I deliver a sneak peek of your gallery within 24 hours and your full gallery within 3 weeks your elopement. This means you get to share your day with family and friends (especially important for elopements) without waiting months.

FAQ:
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. I want this to feel good for both of us, so I’m happy to set up a payment schedule that works for you.
What if it rains?
We dance? But seriously, I embrace whatever the day brings. Some of the best photos happen when things don’t go “perfectly.”
Do you work with shy couples?
Yes — I’m an introvert myself, so I know how it feels. My approach is relaxed and natural, so you’ll feel comfortable the whole time.
Just to confirm, when will we receive our photos?
Sneak peeks are delivered within 24 hours, and your full gallery is ready in about 3 weeks.
Do you travel?
All the time! I’m based in Florida and love photographing all across the state — Gulf Coast, East Coast, and everywhere in between. But, I'm happy to travel to any destination. I'm an expert travel planner. I've done it professionally and personally for all of my adult life and even before. :) I'm happy to guide you in your planning, even when the destination is somewhere new for me.
