let's get started

Capturing authentic moments with both quiet elegance and bold editorial flair, Shy Laurel Photography brings nearly two decades of weddings of experience to your special day.

embracing elegant adventure together.

for couples

- Sarah

The day of the wedding she came in and immediately got to work. She scoped out locations on the spot for us to have our first look, couples portraits, family photos, and through out all of it never made us feel rushed or
uncomfortable. Shy not only managed to capture amazing photos of our day but she also put together reels which were great little sneak peaks to our day, and we got our full gallery back in time to send thank you cards for Christmas. I've since worked with her again for a boudoir shoot, and again, amazed by the work she does. Hire her, you will not regret it!

"Shy is an absolute legend!"

KIND WORDS

-  Kaitlyn and Caleb

She is beyond creative and knows exactly what she is doing to capture the exact vibe you’re going for. We used her for both our engagement pictures, as well as our wedding without a single regret. We now have an array of beautiful photos and literal ART. We continue to have many people come up to ask who our photographer was. Look no further!

"Shyann is the BEST photographer you can ask for."

Often overlooked but equally important, these moments deserve their own spotlight. From getting ready and straightening ties to heartfelt toasts and celebration, I capture the genuine camaraderie and emotion that defines these relationships. These images balance refinement with authenticity, creating a collection that honors these meaningful connections.
