Reviews of Shanell Photography (Event Planner)

Lorinda Kain

My husband and I have hired Shanell multiple times over the years. She did our engagement, wedding, maternity and newborn/family photos. I have been 100% satisfied with the work she has done. Not only are her photos amazing, she is very easy to work with. I recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. She really is amazing.

Shanell’s retreat was more than I could’ve ever imagined. It was amazing having the opportunity to meet talented photographers from all over. I’ve looked up to Shanell and her work for a while and getting to meet her and learn from her was a dream come true. She wasn’t afraid to share all of her experiences and tips she uses in her business. It was obvious that she enjoys educating and uplifting others in the industry. That’s exactly what I was looking for in a mentor - someone who wasn’t afraid to hold anything back and truly wanted the best for me. It was the perfect retreat to have right before my wedding season began. It really had me starting with a creative mindset and new tricks up my sleeve to help me serve my clients in a better way. If you’re considering investing in your education with Shanell…DON’T HESITATE!

Shanell did a fantastic job of capturing our wedding day. She was so organized, which helped us immensely. Her photography schedule helped our day run smoothly (it was almost as if she was a wedding planner). I look at our photos daily and can so clearly remember how special that day was. Photographs will be cherished for the rest of our lives. I’d choose her over and over again for our wedding photography.

Shanell is just the photographer you would look for. She not only does high resolution digital prints, but she does traditional natural image photos as well, with really great techniques and lighting measurements. We had two shooters and both had multiple cameras with dual memory cards for protecting your photos. We have had friends with nightmares of the photographers losing pictures because they don't take it as serious. Do your research! She is very accommodating and is very good at getting you to naturally produce those feelings she wants to convey in photos. She is easy going and even went above and beyond for us in a few instances because she wanted us to be happy. Thank you Shanell!

Shanell did an absolutely unbelievable job! She captured our day perfectly. Her photo quality is undeniable. She is a vendor who truly cares about her clients and is a wedding photographer for all of the right reasons- because she loves what she does. I was very close to cutting out our first look for circumstances I didn’t think I could control- even though the first look was the part of our day I was most excited about. Shanell took the time to call me and problem solve the first look details to ensure the first look happened- and it was perfect! I highly, highly recommend her!

I attended a workshop hosted by Shanell. There was so much value in the 2 day event. The vendors used during the workshop were high end. The education aspect was perfect and I learned SO much. Shanell was mindful to make sure the event ran smoothly and everyone had their turn getting their shots. That alone was worth the money. I loved that she took the time to get to know her attendees and create a community mindset for the day of the event. I would attend another one of her workshops in a heartbeat!

Having Shanell Photography as our wedding photographer was one the best decisions we made for our wedding. We knew that immediately when we did our engagement session with her. She made what is normally an awkward experience actually fun. When we got our photographs back, we were even more amazed. Not only is Shanell reliable and professional, but also so creative and talented. She has such an eye for what is going to look amazing in photographs. On the wedding day, Shanell went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect for us. She was truly the one vendor we felt 100% confident in. We had a few hick ups and she was the first one there to come up with solutions. Our wedding photographs turned out perfect, timeless and airy, just like we wanted. I cannot recommend Shanell Photography enough!

Shanell’s talent goes without saying. Just look at any of her photos or any of her work and you can see what an incredible photographer she is! But what her photos don’t show is the type of person she is. Shanell is kind, professional, and incredible helpful. We had our engagement pictures back in 2019 and have since rescheduled our wedding 3 times. Through all the planning and replanning, Shanell was patient and assisted in every way she could to make a very stressful situation a lot less stressful. In additional to all her help, she has a way of making you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Shanell captured our personalities perfectly as well as some incredible candid pictures. Amazing pictures and an overall great person, Shanell is truly the best in the business!

Marriage is one of the biggest celebrations of life, but it begins with the little things. That's why you will not regret hiring Shanell Photography to capture your big day. She finds beauty in the details and works her way up to truly tell a story while capturing the spirit and emotion surrounding your wedding and engagement. Shanell and her team were an absolute dream to work with! She knew exactly what to do and took all the stress off of our shoulders on our wedding day. Our photos are absolutely stunning and are exactly the airy and fine art elegance we wanted. Her photographs are something we will truly cherish forever!

Shanell is absolutely amazing! Not only is she a fantastic photographer, but she’s a great person. She goes above and beyond to make sure to capture the best, natural photos. I loved that she used both digital and film photography for my wedding. What was even better was that we were able to choose a package where she shot both the engagement and wedding. If you’re looking for someone who does quality work then look no further. Shanell’s services are worth every penny because pictures are not something you want to cheap out on.

Where to even start with Shanell's mentor program. Her mentorship throughout my photography business has been so transformational for me. Even when I was just starting off, she gave me practical advice for the place that I was at. Years later, she has even continued to support me in new ways that fit me in my growth. Shanell meets you where you are at in your business, and doesn't shy away from teaching you everything she knows. She has always showed genuine help and answers any questions I have in great detail. Her mentorship advice is pulled from things she does in her own business as well. When I say that Shanell doesn't hold back, I mean it! She has truly done SO much for my business. For anyone looking into doing a mentorship with Shanell, she is the way to go. I will choose her every time!
