          I’m Shelby — a wedding photographer based in Bentonville, Arkansas, traveling wherever your wedding day unfolds.

I’m drawn to the quiet, meaningful parts of a wedding day — the moments that happen without being announced. The deep breath before walking down the aisle. Hands held during prayer. The way your people gather close when something important is happening. Those are the moments I can’t help but linger on — the little pieces that become the heart of your day.

I work with couples who care about family, meaningful moments, and preserving the memories that matter most. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can serve each couple with heart, attention, and excellence. If you’re looking for photographs that feel honest, grounded, and deeply personal, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your wedding day.

My faith shapes the way I work and serve the people in front of my camera. I see each wedding day as something sacred, and I show up prepared, calm, and ready to guide when it matters — stepping back when it doesn’t. I care deeply about honoring your relationships, values, and the meaning behind your day.

Artist, Wife, Storyteller, & Hopeful Romantic

arkansas based wedding photographer

              I approach each wedding as a complete story, not just a timeline of events. I’m there to notice the light, the mood, and the little moments that might otherwise slip by —  so your story lives on to be told and felt for many generations.

Refined Storytelling

Inspiration 03

              The best photos happen when you forget the camera’s even there. To me, being present on your wedding is where the beauty comes alive and flourishes.

Presence Over Performance

Inspiration 02

          They say wealth whispers, and I think the same is true in storytelling. I’m drawn to understated moments, clean composition, and the little things that make your day yours. A story doesn’t have to be loud to be memorable.

Quiet Luxury

Inspiration 01

My husband, Mark, captures video alongside me with the same reverence and heart. As a married team, we bring a unique perspective to your day — we understand marriage, connection, and the sacredness of these moments in a way that only two people who’ve lived it can.

We move together through your day like a single heartbeat, noticing the quiet moments that might otherwise slip away. Video is an optional add-on, and we only take a very limited number of weddings each year. If it’s something you’d like, just mention it when you reach out! We would love to serve you together!

              My approach is simple: be present, notice the small moments, and help couples feel at ease. I believe the best images come from real connection, not posed perfection. I’m not here to direct a performance — I’m here to capture what’s happening, the laughter, the quiet glances, the little moments you’ll want to remember. I’ll also guide you gently during portraits so nothing feels awkward or forced. My goal is to leave you with photos that you can feel, and photos that are true to your day.
