I approach weddings with a gentle heart and helping hand, getting to know your family and friends and creating images made to last. I love capturing from both a beauty approach with posed, magazine-worthy images and a documentary approach to capture the real, in-between moments of your day.
I bring love, light, and laughter everywhere I go to bring an experience of a lifetime.
Prior to the wedding day, I work alongside your wedding planner to create and finalize your photo timeline, create your family shot list, brainstorm locations, and truly understand what your photography priorities are for the big day. I provide a complimentary wedding guide full of help with tips for your engagements, bridals, and all things wedding. I also offer a vendor recommendation guide with all of the top vendors in my local area.
I take on a select number of weddings per year to create the best possible experience for all my couples throughout the entire wedding process.

Shalae was the photographer at my wedding and she did an AMAZING JOB! She was punctual, easy going and so awesome to work with. The day after our wedding, she sent a sneak peek of some photos and they turned out AMAZING!
- Maddie
Shalae is an incredible photographer and she makes the experiences so fun and comfortable! As someone who's not very fond of being in front of the camera, I didn't mind it at ALL. She's a beautiful human - inside and out.

Always the mom of the friend group, Shalae is your enneagram 2w3, the helper with ambition there to make your day the very best from start to finish.
I aim to have your photos delivered within 6-8 weeks of your wedding day and I always love sending a handful of sneak peeks within 24-48 hours after your wedding. You’ll receive an email with an online gallery, complete with web-optimized images for social media, as well as high-resolution images ready to print.
Yay! I’ll send you an online proposal with the contract and invoice. A flat-rate retainer is due to reserve your date and the final payment is due 30 days before your wedding. We can set up a payment plan or have one final payment, whichever you’d like!
I photograph on both film and digital mediums! While I mostly shoot digital, I love integrating film for a timeless touch to your gallery, with such gorgeous colors and tones. This also allows me to edit the digitals to match the film photos more, too!
Typically, I deliver anywhere from 70-100 images per hour. This could be more or less depending on wedding size, details, number of photographers, and time. You’ll receive all of the best of the best images from your wedding day!
