Every photo and video that was captured was beautiful. I was worried about trying to plan a wedding from a different state, but Shelly and Max helped make the process easy. I trusted both Shelly and Max from the beginning and I am so glad my husband and I decided to work with them. Both captured GORGEOUS photos and videos of the day of the wedding and the next day during our second location photoshoot. Both Shelly and Max made me feel special and are so creative with what they do. I also really appreciated how dedicated and determined they were. Once we received our photos and videos, it was such a magical moment to relive that moment; I almost wanted to cry because of how beautiful everything turned out. Thank you, Shelly and Max, for capturing my husband's and my special day.

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

our mantra and vision
estd 2012
destination wedding photography for wondrous hearts & Stylish couples
My journey into photography was rooted in a lifelong passion for art, nature and storytelling. As a child, I spent countless hours 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.

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.
