Shelby Ayn Photography

I’m all about capturing the joy, love, and unforgettable moments of your Southern California wedding day. I’m not here to just take photos—I’m here to tell the story of your day in a way that feels authentic, fun, and true to you. From the quiet moments before the ceremony to the wild dance party at the end of the night, I’ll be right there, capturing it all.

My approach is relaxed, but I always know when to step in and help you get the perfect shot. Think of me as a friend with a camera, guiding you through the moments that matter most while ensuring you can fully enjoy every second. Whether you’re dreaming of intimate, candid shots or stunning portraits, I’m here to make sure your wedding memories are as beautiful as the love you’re celebrating.

The Experience-

WHEN IT COMES TO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, IT’S EASY TO FOCUS ON THE NUMBER OF HOURS INCLUDED IN A PACKAGE. BUT I BELIEVE YOUR WEDDING DESERVES MORE THAN A COUNTDOWN CLOCK. MY COLLECTIONS ARE DESIGNED TO FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS MOST: CAPTURING THE EMOTIONAL, JOYFUL, AND MEANINGFUL MOMENTS OF YOUR DAY IN A WAY THAT FEELS TRUE TO YOUR STORY.

EVERY WEDDING IS DIFFERENT, AND SO ARE YOUR PRIORITIES. WHETHER THAT’S THE QUIET GETTING READY MOMENTS, THE EMOTIONAL FIRST LOOK, THE CEREMONY, OR THE DANCE FLOOR FUN, I’LL WORK WITH YOU TO BUILD A CUSTOM TIMELINE THAT FITS WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT MOST. I BLOCK OFF THE ENTIRE DAY FOR MY COUPLES, SO YOU’LL NEVER BE ONE OF MULTIPLE WEDDINGS. YOU HAVE MY FULL ATTENTION, ENERGY, AND CREATIVITY.

WHILE I DO HAVE BOUNDARIES IN PLACE, LIKE LIMITING RECEPTION COVERAGE TO TO AVOID WORKING DEEP INTO THE NIGHT, I ALWAYS ALLOW SOME FLEXIBILITY. IF YOUR DAY RUNS A LITTLE BEHIND OR SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS HAPPENING, I’M NOT GOING TO PACK UP AND LEAVE JUST BECAUSE THE CLOCK HITS A CERTAIN TIME.

THIS APPROACH ALLOWS ME TO SERVE MY COUPLES FULLY AND INTENTIONALLY WITHOUT BOXING YOUR STORY INTO A STRICT TIMELINE. BECAUSE IN THE END, IT’S NOT ABOUT HOW MANY HOURS YOU BOOKED ME FOR. IT’S ABOUT HOW WELL YOUR MEMORIES ARE PRESERVED.
