Shelley + Portugal 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Summer Shade, KY

Hey! We're Shelley + Portugal. 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 compelled us to exchange numbers and talk every day for 3 months was the fact that we were both seeking the same things out of life. Nothing about our story is conventional (and it goes against every warning from our parents against Internet stranger danger) but despite the “what-ifs” and the long-distance logistics, we said yes. And in saying yes to something we couldn’t fully comprehend, we were unknowingly saying "yes" to a life full of adventure together.

Honestly, Alex and I do not even know where to begin in expressing our gratitude for Shelley + Portugal. Not only are they quite possibly the most incredible humans on the entire planet, their passion for capturing quiet moments, love, and their service towards others is incomparable. In a business where people are not always put over profit, we can say confidently that you will not ever have to worry about coming second if you choose Shelley + Portugal as your wedding photographers and/or videographers. Alex and I originally fell in love with Shelley + Portugal's ability to capture the most personal, intimate moments of other folk's weddings, but we became head over heels for them in a myriad of other ways. Alex and I have come to find out that rain is just always going to be a part of our lives when it comes to major events. After having our engagement photos scheduled for what seemed like forever in advance, Mother Nature blessed us with a major storm, cancelling our session. If my memory serves me correctly, I was definitely being dramatic, but I for sure cried. But, when the storm passed sooner than expected and left us with some beautiful golden hour sunlight, Shelley came texting wanting to know if we still wanted to come out to catch the most gorgeous rays. She could have just moved on with her life and chalked it up to Fate, but instead, Shelley went above and beyond for us, giving us some of our most treasured photos and memories. Lo and behold, when it came it our wedding day, you can probably guess what happened. It rained and stormed, leaving us to scrap a year's worth of outdoor plans and move it indoor 24 hours before the ceremony. Again, I was being dramatic, but I definitely cried and unapologetically panic texted Shelley. Repeatedly. Like, I'm thinking, probably six texts in a row. And Shelley so kindly responded to all panic texts with kindness in the way only an Enneagram Type 1 can, words of affirmations, and promises that her and Portugal would take care of the rest. And, take care of the rest they did. I had not an absolute ounce of worry on the big day because they had it handled. How they are both photographers and certified meteorologists* (okay, not really, but they should be), is beyond me. The mud? Handled. My massive family portraits? HANDLED. Getting my husband and his groomsmen group to the venue site ON-TIME? Perfectly executed. I would considered having my money's worth with just those feats. But, instead, they were even more gracious and captured the most incredible wedding photos, including our split-second golden hour rays while we danced in the rain. Pretty full circle if you ask me. So, if you're still here- you need to book Shelley + Portugal for all your engagement/wedding needs. You won't regret it. Time will pass and it will be six months later and you'll still cry over your photos/videos. They might even come to Hilligan's with you post-BG wedding if you ask them. We love you and we like you, Shelley + Portugal. (Update: since our wedding photos, Shelley has been the only photographer we trust for family portraits. she gave us our final photos with our beloved dog, Johnny, before his passing and gave us our first few photos of our recent rescue, Gus. if my list for trusting people to capture my wedding was short, my list of people I trust to capture our dying dog for the last time is even fewer. they will be your photogs and friends for life. we still love you & like you, S & P.)

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I Got You!

PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

Awarded Best of Zola
Faith is one of the most intentional people I’ve met — she was there every step of the way during wedding planning to support us and provided so much comfort and overall good vibes on the day of! I felt so at ease the entire wedding day, and I credit that to our incredible vendor team, Faith and her team included. I received so many sneak peek pics just under a week after my wedding (a few I got almost immediately!!), and it was amazing to be able to relive those moments already and share them with friends and family. Seeing how she captured these moments, big and small, makes me SO excited to see the final gallery!!! Her editing style is simply gorgeous — it was the main reason I reached out to her initially — but she’s also just a wonderful friend and human. When you already feel like you know someone, it makes it so much easier to be your authentic selves in front of the camera, and for that to shine through in photos. We both have so much love for Faith and are forever grateful she was there to document the beginning of the newest chapter of our love story

My newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!

Hi, I’m Kirsten, the creative heart behind Kirsten Wray Photography! Since 2008, KWP has been capturing life’s most amazing moments, right here in Indianapolis and beyond. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ball State University, I followed my passion for photography to the vibrant city of Indy, where I’ve been telling stories through my lens ever since. Whether it's local events or adventures across the globe, I’m all about creating stunning, authentic images for my incredible clients. Let’s make magic together!

I wish I could give 6 stars! Kirsten was incredible! She did such an amazing job, we couldn’t have been happier. She is so great to work with, and she ensured that we had great photos and lots of them. Our wedding included my toddler nephew and our dog, and she did such a great job getting their attention and giving us wonderful photos. We really got to know her, and she is very friendly, open and honest. She genuinely loves weddings and gets so excited for a great shot. She gave us feedback in the moment, which I really appreciated so that I could make small adjustments if needed. She was also great with working with our fixed set of time after the ceremony to ensure we got our priority photos done. She really knows what she’s doing and her work is great. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Hi friend! Let me introduce myself - I'm Samantha Jade. My goal as your wedding photographer is to guide you throughout your wedding day in a way that puts you at ease, allowing me to capture your day as authentically and artistically as possible. As a hybrid photographer (both film and digital), I take a different approach to capturing your memories. By taking a step back, I am able to capture your day with so much intention - noticing all the small and "in between" moments that so often get missed.

Hi there! I'm so glad you found me on this little corner of the internet. My name is Taylor, and I'm a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Cincinnati, Ohio. But I do love to travel and will go anywhere! I'm your golden sun, chasing love, wine night having, pizza eating, dog loving, crazy mess behind the camera. I started this journey of mine in 2019, and fell in love with the ability to tell someone's story in photos. I strive to tell your story in these memories, by putting my full heart into it each time. So when you look at them you are brought right back to that moment in the years to come.
