Artful storytelling with an editorial edge

A documentary-led, editorially inspired wedding photography experience for elevated celebrations across the globe.

A grounded & honest
approach to your story.

You’re here because you want your wedding documented in a way that actually feels like you - free of stiffness and anchored in what’s real.

Through still imagery, film, and drone, I create galleries that feel like home - imperfect, raw, and true to your story. My approach is simple: to create a gallery that deeply reflects your love story & your connections with friends and family - all while bringing your Pinterest-board dreams to life, complete with those iconic, magazine-worthy shots.

I approach every wedding as a story in motion, capturing moments as they naturally unfold rather than orchestrating overly-staged shots. This experience is designed for couples who are planning thoughtful, design-conscious celebrations and who value authentic storytelling, meaningful details, and a style that feels editorial, elevated and reflective of who they are.

Editorial Imagery With A Heartbeat

When you hire me, you’re not just booking a photographer - you’re investing in an experience. I’m there to anticipate the moments that matter, subtly guide when it enhances the day, and ensure that every glance, gesture, and detail is captured with care. The result is a gallery that feels genuine, artful, and unmistakably yours - a collection of images that will make you relive the emotion, style, and joy of your day every time you look through it.

“Shaina isn’t just a wedding photographer - she’s pure magic behind the lens…”

…Shaina has this incredible way of making you feel completely at ease (even if you’re camera shy like me and you have a hubby that hates photos!) while turning everyday moments into absolute works of art. Her eye for detail and ability to capture the raw, real emotions of the day is unmatched. Every photo feels like a perfect reflection of who we are, not just as a couple but as a family.

“Are you KIDDING with that gallery?! How do you do that?!”

Your encouragement to take time in that moment, and honestly throughout the day, made our wedding day feel like it moved almost at a slower pace. We felt like we got to enjoy every moment because we had someone like you there to remind us that it's okay for it to be about us. It’s something Josh and I talk about often and truly credit you for. So thank you so much for giving us that time. Truly, thank you so much for everything. So glad fate brought us together!

“Oh my goodness.. Where to even begin”

Shaina was the second best thing I did for my wedding, the first being my fiancé lol. As soon as I saw her post I knew it was a sealed deal but I had no idea what was to come. Shaina had me feeling so confident in my decision everyday leading up to my wedding. She helped me timeline my day literally down to the minutes. She timed how long it would take to get to specific locations to make sure we made the most of our time together. She was just as invested in my wedding as I was and it showed.
