Your wedding day is all about celebrating your unique love story with genuine, joyful moments that reflect who you are as a couple. Based in Norfolk, I specialize in wedding photography that captures your day as it naturally unfolds—full of emotion, movement, and real connection. My relaxed, candid approach lets you focus on enjoying your celebration while I document the memories you’ll cherish forever.

How I Capture Your Wedding Day

Rather than directing posed shots, I focus on the authentic, unscripted moments that make your day special. Think of me as a friendly observer with a camera, catching the laughter, happy tears, and all the little interactions that tell your story. Couples describe me as chatty, calm, and easygoing—bringing a professional yet fun vibe that helps you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the day.

  • Natural & Outdoorsy: A love for beautiful natural light and outdoor settings to create stunning images.

It was like having our best friend taking photos.

I found Shelly on instagram and loved the work she did. She is such a lovely person and made us feel so comfortable so fast! She explained everything in detail and was able to help recommend other providers as well. We booked her straight after this call and I was able to contact her throughout the year towards our wedding with any questions. Thank you so much for capturing our day!

We cannot speak higher or recommend her services enough. PS she has a cute doggo too [GOOGLE REVIEW]

She took special care making me feel comfortable

As someone who HATES having my photo taken i can wholeheartedly say that shell does everything in her power to make you feel at ease and under no pressure at all. she’s so down to earth, easy to get along with and the biggest cheerleader you could ask for. we had multiple people at our wedding say how great she was and that’s before even seeing any photographs. she put no pressure on me and took special care around making me feel comfortable. i can not recommend enough.

Our couples shoot turned into a proposal shoot!

This woman is incredible. As a couple, it was our first photo shoot so we were a little nervous as to what to expect. Shell made the shoot feel so natural and not to mention the whole experience being so much fun. Shell has loads of fantastic ideas for those “in the moment” photos. Especially as ours turned into a proposal!! Every emotion was captured and we 100% recommend

We wanted a photographer who was LGBTQ+ welcoming

When looking for a wedding photographer, we wanted to find a photographer that was welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community. We came across Shell, after falling in love with her style of photos, her editing & the natural look her photos give. We got in touch, arranged a zoom meeting and instantly clicked! Shell was very accommodating, knew exactly what we wanted & together we came up with all the ideas! Honestly you won’t be disappointed with Shell, can’t recommend her enough!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Fun, energetic, natural, stylish, emotional.

What about your business are you most proud of?

That I built it up during a global pandemic.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Check prices before setting a budget so your budget is realistic. Don’t spread your budget too thinly. Spend the bulk on your top 3 most important aspects.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Couples having their dogs there lots of venues are dog friendly now. And giving grandparents jobs on the day. Flower grandmas and ”best grandads” make for excellent photos.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Before I take a deposit of anyone I like to zoom call or meet in person for a proper chat to discuss their day. Then i send invoice and contract. This finalised the booking and the rest is due 4 weeks before the wedding. I also offer monthly payments if people prefer.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Accept the weather and get on with it. Get outside and run around in the wet and you will still get awesome photos. The alternative is you stay inside and don’t have photos which is such a shame. Get brollies if you prefer and wellies but get out there and have fun.

Describe how you got into photography.

I took up photography as a hobby in 2013. I started doing wildlife and landscape photography. This is still apparent in my portraits as I like to get a lot of background landscape in images .
