Shelley Anderson's Blog bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

When I studied photojournalism in college, something about newspaper photography didn't quite click with me. I began to shoot weddings soon thereafter and discovered I had found the perfect fit for my passion for photography. After photographing almost 150 weddings--and attending my own--I still absolutely love the wedding day and everything that comes with it. I enjoy meeting couples during the planning process because there are so many fun things about to happen in their lives. The
wedding is one of the most significant of these occasions, and I am
honored when I am asked to photograph this special moment. I look forward to capturing the candid, emotional moments of each unique day that will help couples cherish their wedding photos forever.

Deval and Blake’s Engagement Session

I photographed a sort of last minute engagement session recently for Deval and Blake at the Morton Arboretum. They were hoping to have some great shots for the reception cards I hand out at each wedding and a few shots to personalize their guest book. I was excited to work with them because we are...
