OUTSTANDING! We have hired Shelby for our engagement and elopement. She has exceeded every expectation we had for our elopement. She is so sweet, relatable, professional and easy going. Shelby captured every moment from our elopement perfectly. She makes being in front of a camera very comfortable and even natural and it really shows in the final product. We could not have asked for a better photographer or company than Shelby at Dear Heart Films.

Of the hundreds of decisions and choices we had to make for our wedding, choosing Shelby as our photographer was one of the best! We had both outdoor and indoor venues for different parts of the wedding, a mix of lighting, and multiple decor themes, and it is impossible for pick our favorite pictures. Our wedding also consisted of Asian elements (Chinese + Indian), and Shelby did her homework, researched the traditions, and asked us clarifying questions to make sure she captures the important moments appropriately. And all that effort really came through in our pictures; they were perfect.
let's get creative!
