Mandy, May 2023
Shalyn was our wedding photographer at Samuel Cedars, and also did our engagement photos. I cannot say enough amazing things about her. She was so personable, kind and provided amazing direction to two people who have never taken formal photos before. She made us feel comfortable immediately and it was so fun to work with her! There was not one photo out of our engagement or wedding collection that we didn’t love. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Have Questions? I’ve Got Answers!

The best way to get started? My Free Wedding Timeline Questionnaire.
Instead of wondering how many hours of photography you need or stressing over what moments matter most, this quick and easy questionnaire will help you figure out exactly what you need for your wedding day.
✅ What it does for you:
Helps you visualize your wedding timeline
Guides you in deciding how much coverage you actually need
Gives me a better idea of your vision so I can create a completely customized experience for you
💡 No pressure, no commitment—just clarity! Fill out the questionnaire, and let’s chat about how we can bring your vision to life.

The short answer? Anywhere from 3 to 18 months in advance—but here’s why:
📆 Booking Early (12-18 Months in Advance) – Ideal for couples who want to secure their dream photographer before dates fill up, especially for peak wedding months (spring & fall).
💍 Mid-Timeline Booking (6-12 Months in Advance) – This is the most common timeframe! Many couples book during the final stages of venue selection and vendor planning.
✨ Last-Minute Booking (3-6 Months in Advance) – Still possible, but availability may be limited. If your date is flexible or a weekday wedding, there’s a chance I can squeeze you in!
💡 Best Advice? If photography is a priority for you (which, let’s be honest—it should be! 😉), book sooner rather than later to lock in your date.

I’m not here to tell you I’m better than any other photographer—because the truth is, wedding photography isn’t a one-size-fits-all decision. What I can tell you is this:
1️⃣ I’ve been in the wedding industry since I was nine years old. From assisting behind the scenes to capturing love stories through my lens, I know weddings inside and out. I’ve experienced the joy, the chaos, and everything in between.
2️⃣ Your comfort matters just as much as your photos. You should feel completely at ease around your photographer—because trust me, you’ll be spending a lot of time with them on your wedding day! I create a relaxed, fun atmosphere so that you can focus on the moments, not the camera.
3️⃣ I thrive under wedding-day pressure. Weddings are unpredictable. Tight timelines, unexpected weather, emotional moments—I’ve seen it all. My job is to keep things stress-free, roll with whatever happens, and capture every part of your day beautifully, no matter what.
So, what makes me different? I don’t just take pretty photos—I help make your day smoother, more enjoyable, and completely unforgettable.
