Included in this package is not just photography, but my personal involvement and assistance in helping you to plan the perfect proposal. I know most of you aren't from the Niagara area so I am happy to help ease your stress by putting things in motion so when you arrive all you have to do is pop the question. The engagement shoot immediately following is packed full of emotion for both of you (and me too if I'm being honest!) it's all come together and all that's left to do is feel the excitement of it all!! I'm there to share in the excitement and capture some of the most genuine moments.

Core Plan

I have had the privilege of photographing numerous weddings in the Niagara Region. And let me tell you, the area is teeming with unique venues that add an extra dash of magic to any couple's big day. Here are my top 5 picks for distinctive wedding venues in the Niagara Region.
&nbsp;
1. <a href="https://vineland.com/weddings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vineland Estates Winery</a>: Set amidst lush vineyards and offering breathtaking views of Lake Ontario, this venue is a paradise for wine-loving couples. The Carriage House, built in the 1840s, provides a rustic yet elegant setting for your reception. The best time to get married here is in the fall, when the vine leaves turn a beautiful golden hue. This venue is ideal for intimate weddings with a guest count of up to 56 people.
&nbsp;
2. <a href="https://theharewineco.com/weddings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hare Wine Co</a>.: This is another vineyard beauty. What sets The Hare Wine Co. apart is its blend of traditional and modern architecture, making it perfect for couples who want a bit of both. The venue shines brightest in the summer, when the vineyards are lush and green. This venue caters to larger weddings, accommodating up to 150 guests.
&nbsp;
3. <a href="https://npca.ca/weddings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Balls Falls Conservation Area</a>: If you're an outdoorsy couple, this venue is for you. With its historic buildings, waterfalls, and natural beauty, Balls Falls offers a picturesque backdrop for your wedding. Spring and fall are the best times to get married here, when the flora is in full bloom or changing colours. This venue is perfect for elopements and small to medium-sized weddings.
&nbsp;
4. <a href="https://carmenslakeview.com/weddings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Lakeview</a>: Situated on the shores of Lake Ontario, The Lakeview offers a stunning beachfront setting. The venue features a vintage Grand Beach Hall and a modern Lakeview Loft, both offering panoramic views of the lake. This venue is best for summer weddings, and can accommodate large guest counts.
&nbsp;
5. <a href="https://www.niagaraparks.com/weddings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Butterfly Conservatory</a>: For a truly unique wedding, consider the Butterfly Conservatory. Here, you can exchange vows surrounded by thousands of butterflies in a tropical rainforest setting. This venue is beautiful year-round, making it a versatile choice. It's ideal for intimate weddings or elopements.
&nbsp;
I have witnessed unforgettable moments at each of these venues. They each bring something special to the table, just like each couple does. The key is finding the one that resonates with your story, your personality, and your vision for your big day. And remember, what truly makes a wedding special is not the venue, but the love and joy shared among the couple and their loved ones. I would be thrilled to help capture these moments for you.

Shelly is absolutely amazing! Very approachable and professional. She was the photographer at our daughter's wedding in NOTL. She kept the communication flowing and was great to work with. As the MOB and wedding planner, I greatly appreciated how organized and how well she kept the big day flowing seamlessly for photos. She is truly an artist and knew how to get us into our poses and when to take those unique surprise photos. We love love love your work! Thank you so much for a great day! I'll be sure to recommend your services! Now the hard part...picking out photos for framing since they are all sooo good! Take care. Dianne, Cristyn and the family :)

Dianne Franic

Shelly is amazing! I called Shelly on a whim with only a few days notice before my proposal. Not only did Shelly make time in her busy schedule to photograph our proposal but she was also incredibly accommodating, prompt and professional. She helped me plan the location and put my mind at ease knowing that everything would be taken care of.

On the day of, Shelly was knowledgable and knew exactly what my fiancee and I were looking for. She captured our special moment incredibly and I look forward to recommending her to others in the future!

Jared Kirsh

Shelly did such a wonderful job and went above and beyond for our pictures. We eloped in niagara, she drove us from the chapel to save us the parking headache and dropped us off close to where we got photos done so I didn’t have to walk in heels. She was so much fun to be around and made us feel very special. The pictures are everything we hoped for <3

Brianna Hawley

Absolutely in love with all our family pictures. Not only is Shelly a talented photographer, she is an amazing person. She was easy to work with and so patient with our 2 year old son. She made our session full of laughs and fun, everything felt so easy. Such a great day full of captured memories. 📷

You will find the about page from my existing website between the “” below. You can use this section primarily for tone of voice and style as opposed to content. Make sure that all references to the self are in the first person singular, as I am the only photographer on my team. Please also ensure that there are no references to “our team” or “our photographer”. Instead, all writing should be coming directly from me. I would also like it to be quite down to earth and without lots of fluff and flowery language.

"I am a Niagara Falls wedding, event and portrait photographer and the truth is I love my job. No, I mean I really love my job. I still cry at weddings……I can’t imagine doing anything else.

When I started it was weddings. Allllll weddings. Now, it’s so much more. My brand and I personally have evolved into something I couldn’t imagine. I am so grateful.
It is my job as a photographer to capture your most important moments. Even during a headshot or branding session I need to capture you as you are. I need to be able to tell the world in a single image a story. It has to be an authentic story; those are the only ones I want to tell.
Weddings are still my favourite. I get the opportunity to spend an entire day sharing in some of the most wonderful moments of your life.

Why would you choose me to photograph your event when there are an abundance of photographers in the Niagara Region? Experience and flexibility. My ability to make you feel at ease in front of my lens. Absolute professionalism without being rigid. My ability to easily adapt to your unique day.

My closest friends and family describe me as; Determined, compassionate, articulate, loving and innovative. Demanding and blunt were on that list but I’m going to take those as positives. Ha-ha.
My children say I am caring, funny (thank goodness someone said that!!) outgoing, emotional and focused (I have the best kids. I didn’t pay them to say nice things. They are the reason I do what I do and I am who I am)

Really, when all is said and done, it’s all about relationships for me. I have been saying that for a long time now and it’s the most consistent thing about me. At the end of our lives we take nothing with us but what we leave behind are the relationships we have built with those around us. For me, that includes every person I have photographed who have allowed me to be a part of their lives and for those who have allowed me to remain a part of their story.

I would love to hear from you. I would love to know what you need and how I can help you achieve your goals."
