Nostalgic for
My journey into photography was rooted in a lifelong passion for art, nature and storytelling. As a child, I spent a lot of my time bringing my imagination to life through drawing and painting. My work earned several awards and was showcased in multiple art shows, affirming my connection to creativity and self-expression. Over time, my love for art evolved into a fascination with capturing life through a lens. When I photographed my first wedding, I realized photography allowed me to merge my artistic background with my passion for human connection. It was about more than creating beautiful images—it was about preserving moments that would be cherished forever.
I am passionate about capturing timeless love stories & specializing in fine-art destination weddings & elopements. My work is inspired by the beauty of nature, the elegance of architecture, and the heartfelt, candid moments that define a celebration. I am proud to offer a blend of digital and film photography alongside cinematic videography, providing a timeless and dynamic way to preserve your wedding celebration.

Not only are they on top of every detail and making sure you have fun and feel comfortable, they are also so professional that I had multiple guests share how impressed they were by Shelly & Max during our reception. They are also just really impressive artists and are able to direct and compose absolutely gorgeous shots.
"Their way of making you feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera is unmatched."
Crafting artistic, visionary images that
captivate, inspire, and immortalize authenticity

I booked Shelly and Max for our destination wedding at The Fairmont, and I am SO happy with the decision. From the initial consult all the way through wedding night, Shelly and Max were thoughtful, professional, and amazing. I had no idea what I wanted going into the whole process but Shelly guided me and gave great ideas, even as to our officiant who was amazing! She met with me multiple times to go through day of schedule and what I wanted in terms of photo shoots. As to the day of, her and her team were amazing. At points, I felt like Shelly was my wedding coordinator helping with getting everyone together.
I had a huge wedding party (25+ ppl) and 100 guests so I was nervous about how things would flow, but both Shelly and Max made the process so seamless. They were patient, professional, and captured some amazing photos and footage of us and our guests! Within maybe 2 days, we already had some photos to view and they blew us away! I HIGHLY recommend Shelly and Max
"Shelly & Max were amazing! After our experience together, we look at them as more of friends — even family."
