Shelly and Max are absolutely amazing. My wife and I could not have asked for a better experience or photographer and videographer for our wedding. Shelly and Max were very communicative leading up to the wedding, were completely open to our ideas, and were so attentive and patient with our families on the day of our wedding - practically bringing a slice of calm to the day. They went absolutely above and beyond with everything they had done, and they clearly are an amazing team.

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."
