Meeting these two for the first time on a beautiful May day in their Cincinnati neighborhood was such a treat. We walked all over the place, watched the sun set in Ault Park, and since we were spending the night in town, ended the night talking for hours over beers and asian takeout. (You know it was a good time when the bartender has to kick you out at closing time.) We are so thankful for these two and can’t wait to celebrate with them in Charlotte this May.

about us

we're shelley AND portugal

Before we were wedding photographers, we were just two kids in love. We met on Instagram and fell in love over FaceTime. A shared interest in roadkill portraiture is what brought us together (it’s a funny story), but what ultimately compelled us to take a chance on long-distance is the fact that we weren’t looking for surface-level. We craved a shared life full of connection, vulnerability, and the kind of love that changes you. Now we bring that same energy to your wedding day to capture the real story, not a performance.
