Absolutely in love with all our family pictures. Not only is Shelly a talented photographer, she is an amazing person. She was easy to work with and so patient with our 2 year old son. She made our session full of laughs and fun, everything felt so easy. Such a great day full of captured memories. 📷

Shelly did such a wonderful job and went above and beyond for our pictures. We eloped in niagara, she drove us from the chapel to save us the parking headache and dropped us off close to where we got photos done so I didn’t have to walk in heels. She was so much fun to be around and made us feel very special. The pictures are everything we hoped for <3

Shelly is absolutely amazing! Very approachable and professional. She was the photographer at our daughter's wedding in NOTL. She kept the communication flowing and was great to work with. As the MOB and wedding planner, I greatly appreciated how organized and how well she kept the big day flowing seamlessly for photos. She is truly an artist and knew how to get us into our poses and when to take those unique surprise photos. We love love love your work! Thank you so much for a great day! I'll be sure to recommend your services! Now the hard part...picking out photos for framing since they are all sooo good! Take care. Dianne, Cristyn and the family :)

Shelly is amazing! I called Shelly on a whim with only a few days notice before my proposal. Not only did Shelly make time in her busy schedule to photograph our proposal but she was also incredibly accommodating, prompt and professional. She helped me plan the location and put my mind at ease knowing that everything would be taken care of.

On the day of, Shelly was knowledgable and knew exactly what my fiancee and I were looking for. She captured our special moment incredibly and I look forward to recommending her to others in the future!

Mexico, a destination wedding

Being a proposal photographer in Niagara Falls is honestly the best job. I get to share in one of the best moments of your life! If you coming to Niagara Falls and looking to propose I know you want to have the Falls in the background of this life changing moment. Across from Queen Victoria Park is the perfect spot. I spend a lot of time helping people decide which area of the Falls they want to "pop the question" at so I figured I would create a couple of blog posts to help you on your proposal journey (check out my other blog posts on where to propose in Niagara Falls) Queen Victoria Park is a Niagara Parks property surrounding the area of the Niagara Parks Police station and right across the street from the huge water fall that is the American Falls. This is a great spot to take a knee and ask that most important question, will you marry me!! During the non peak season in Niagara Falls this spot is perfect. You can usually get parking at the Niagara Parks police station or some couples choose to walk from their Falls view hotels (please keep in mind it's not as close as it looks online and can easily be a twenty minute walk). During peak tourist months the area can get very busy so if you are looking for a little more privacy I always suggest early in the morning. You can beat the tourist rush and the sun rises at the Falls which makes for a beautiful golden hour (golden hour can mean sunrise too!) photos. If you are here in the summer months and are looking for a bit more privacy but want the Falls in the background of your proposal photos, check out my blog on Oaks Garden Theatre.
After the surprise, the yes, the tears and hugs have been given we can walk across the street to Queen Victoria Park and finish your engagement session. The rose garden is beautiful in the summer months and in the winter months the backdrop of forest is beautiful.
Send me an e-mail and lets get planning. I would love to be your Niagara proposal photographer.

This photo features my friend and violinist Cynthia. Send me a message and see how we can add a romantic violin player to your proposal package.

Proposing in front of Niagara Falls at Queen Victoria Park

The majority of people who contact me for proposals are coming here on a Niagara Falls vacation. The couples who are coming usually have no idea what's around the area but know they want to propose and have the Niagara Falls in the background. This is absolutely something you can do! It's going to make a difference whether you come to Niagara in the winter, or the summer (or somewhere in between). Summer time can get pretty crazy down by the Falls and people looking to have a bit more privacy might want to head down to Oaks Garden Theatre. This Niagara Parks property is just to the left of Niagara Falls and right next to the Rainbow bridge. It's a great spot during the busy summer months because there are less people than directly in front of the Falls and parking is a little easier to navigate.
The gardens themselves are gorgeous and have a ton of variety for your engagement photos immediately following your proposal. Oaks Garden features formal gardens, a lily pond with a bridge and gorgeous architecture. There are several spots in the garden where the Niagara Falls are visible. This means you aren't limited in your options to do a proposal with a bit of privacy and Niagara Falls in the background.
Winter gets a bit trickier as the gardens aren't maintained. However, the architecture and metal gates are still a great back drop for your proposal and engagement photos.

Video Title

You will find the about page from my existing website between the “” below. You can use this section primarily for tone of voice and style as opposed to content. Make sure that all references to the self are in the first person singular, as I am the only photographer on my team. Please also ensure that there are no references to “our team” or “our photographer”. Instead, all writing should be coming directly from me. I would also like it to be quite down to earth and without lots of fluff and flowery language.

"I am a Niagara Falls wedding, event and portrait photographer and the truth is I love my job. No, I mean I really love my job. I still cry at weddings……I can’t imagine doing anything else.

When I started it was weddings. Allllll weddings. Now, it’s so much more. My brand and I personally have evolved into something I couldn’t imagine. I am so grateful.
It is my job as a photographer to capture your most important moments. Even during a headshot or branding session I need to capture you as you are. I need to be able to tell the world in a single image a story. It has to be an authentic story; those are the only ones I want to tell.
Weddings are still my favourite. I get the opportunity to spend an entire day sharing in some of the most wonderful moments of your life.

Why would you choose me to photograph your event when there are an abundance of photographers in the Niagara Region? Experience and flexibility. My ability to make you feel at ease in front of my lens. Absolute professionalism without being rigid. My ability to easily adapt to your unique day.

My closest friends and family describe me as; Determined, compassionate, articulate, loving and innovative. Demanding and blunt were on that list but I’m going to take those as positives. Ha-ha.
My children say I am caring, funny (thank goodness someone said that!!) outgoing, emotional and focused (I have the best kids. I didn’t pay them to say nice things. They are the reason I do what I do and I am who I am)

Really, when all is said and done, it’s all about relationships for me. I have been saying that for a long time now and it’s the most consistent thing about me. At the end of our lives we take nothing with us but what we leave behind are the relationships we have built with those around us. For me, that includes every person I have photographed who have allowed me to be a part of their lives and for those who have allowed me to remain a part of their story.

I would love to hear from you. I would love to know what you need and how I can help you achieve your goals."
