Our Brides Messages to Future Brides:
"Working with Shellie was such an amazing experience! She offered the
portfolio and experience of a complete professional while sharing
details and advice as a friend would. She was very accommodating as we
planned our wedding with the groom in Japan and the bride in Sacramento.
On the day of our wedding her sense of humor and attention to detail
set my mind at ease and made it very easy to go with the flow and get an
amazing finished portfolio! The process of viewing the finished
products and putting together our beautiful album would not be the same
if it weren't for Shellie's creativity and eye for design. We couldn't
have been happier with our gorgeous photos, the ease with which we were
able to share them with our friends and family, and our beautiful album
filled with memories from our day. I would wholeheartedly recommend
Capture Photography to any bride!" -

"I couldn't have dreamt of a more perfect person to capture the moments
of our special day. Not only is Shellie's work unbelievable, but she
makes you feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. All I wanted
and expected were a couple of great shots of my husband and I, and we
got so so much more! I couldn't be happier with her work,
professionalism, and easy, laid back (yet take charge) attitude. There
are a couple of shots in particular that still amaze me. What my friends
like to call my "model shot" is a photo of my husband hugging me and me
looking straight at Shellie's camera. I don't know how she did it, but
with the white barn door background, and my bouquet featured in the
shot, my eyes shine true blue and I can't believe how truly stunning I
look. The others include some fantastic shots utilizing a tractor and
horse! Shellie will turn your ideas into a reality. I had so many
beautiful locations to choose from at our venue, and during our walk
through of the location Shellie helped me pinpoint exactly what spots
would highlight my style, and she nailed it! Some other great memories
include laughing along with my sister almost in hysterics and Shellie
grabbed a great impromptu shots of me, newly in my wedding gown. She
also shot the most adorable/hilarious 'vow mess-up' EVER, instead of
promising to love me UNCONDITIONALLY, my husband blurts out that he'll
love me UNCONVENTIONALLY! In the picture you can see that I'm laughing
so hard I'm crying, my husband is turned toward our attendants trying to
explain, and there's a straight shot of my maid of honor with a dropped
jaw. Shellie is outstanding! I was referred to her by many of my
girlfriends who've also been 110% pleased with her work." -

"As a "mother of the bride" I am proud to recommend Shellie Kennedy
and Capture Photography for your daughter's wedding. My time with
Shellie was a delight and stress free from beginning to end. She was
thorough and prompt on all appointments with helpful suggestions from
her
extended experience. Her creative ideas produced a gallery of pictures
that we will cherish forever. The time that she spent with the bridal
party, wedding ceremony and guests was extremely professional. Because
our venue was outdoors, Shellie was able to use the natural setting as
wonderful backdrops for the majority of our pictures. She was able
to "capture" the beautiful sunset with candid moments of our special
day. Thank you Shellie for providing such wonderful memories that we can
cherish forever!"

"Choosing Capture Photography and Shellie as our photographer was one of
the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. It was amazing how
she truly "captured" "Us" in all of our photos. I saw her work at the
Cal Expo Bridal show and knew immediately she was who I wanted to
photograph our big day. I went to her website and was amazed at how
reasonable her prices were and that you could purchase a cd of all your
images and have free reign on printing (most photographers wont do that)
We booked her for our engagement shoot and LOVED the result- since then
she has done our wedding, the weddings of 5 of our friends, and just
recently shot photos of our first baby. Shellie is great at taking
unique photos, adding details, and giving all of your photos a little
edge to them- that's what makes them so special. Her laid back approach
makes if feel like you are just hanging out with a friend instead of
having a stranger look in on your most important moments. I simply can't
say enough good things about Capture photography - Thank you Shellie!

We could not be more happy with how our wedding pictures turned out.
Shellie was absolutely so refreshing to work with. She makes you feel so
comfortable in front of the camera by talking you through everything.
If you have any questions or concerns, she will be there to answer them
right away and will work with you to make sure you get everything that
you have envisioned. She made the whole process really fun and enjoyable
so you can relax and enjoy your special day. I had the pleasure of
working with Shellie on two weddings because she photographed one of my
best friends’ weddings as well. She is so creative and can work with any
venue or style that you want. Some of our favorite pictures were the
ones we took with this old rowboat and old truck on the property we got
married. She turned this old truck and rowboat into pieces of art and
made it fit in perfectly with our theme. We also loved all the actions
shots that Shellie captured where you can truly see the emotions on our
family and friends’ faces which are memories that we can cherish
forever. We have gotten so many compliments on our pictures and it is
all because of Shellie. Her creative vision is so impressive and still
amazes us every time we look through our wedding album. We would 100%
recommend Shellie and Capture photography to any bride!

The best thing to come out of my wading through hundreds of vendors at
the bridal show was Shellie. My mom and I fell in love with her images
from the moment we saw them. We could tell she would bring a
distinctive, creative flair to the wedding pictures, not just the same
old tired ones that look staged and forced. Then I met with her and
instantly knew she was the photographer for us. Both from a price and
quality standpoint, Shellie delivers. I absolutely loved working with
Shellie, from our engagement shoot to the wedding, she was professional
and just fun to be around, always asking what I wanted and making sure
it was all getting covered. There were so many beautiful photos that I
loved, it made it hard to narrow them down for the book. Shellie truly
has an eye and a gift, and I can't say enough good things about her. I
tell eveyone I know how great she was and highly recommend her!

"Choosing Shellie with Capture Photography was one of the best decisions
we made in all our wedding planning! Shellie was great to work with
from the beginning. She answered all of my many questions. Her
packages included all that I wanted and her pricing was very reasonable.
Not to mention, included in our package was a CD with all our images!!
We worked together to create a wedding timeline that worked for us on
our wedding day and met our needs. Come the wedding day she was on time
and really made us feel comfortable with different poses and shots and
most importantly kept us on time, both before the ceremony and after.
She uses the background or facility you are in, to best suit you and
your wedding party’s personality. And I am sure as you have seen from
her website that she has just a incredibly artistic and creative eye for
the right angels, colors and graphics! I LOVE all of my photos. I feel
that as a couple, Shellie got to know us and she was able to capture us
and our personalities perfectly! After working with her for our
wedding, I am really looking forward to future bellies and babies
pictures!
Thank you Shellie!

"We were SO thankful to have you as our photographer! I always hear our
friends say that they wished they had taken the time to find a good
photographer because they are unhappy with their photos. :( We are so
pleased with ours!"
