Shelby Day's Portfolio of Work

a curated selection of my work

What inspires my work as a photographer is the quiet strength of human connection—the tenderness we share, the love we hold, and the bonds that shape our lives. Each time I lift my camera, I’m conscious of the legacy I’m preserving: the subtle gestures, the fleeting expressions, the chapters of a story that deserve to be remembered. In the end, photographs become the threads that carry our history forward. That belief guides my approach, allowing me to create timeless, heartfelt images that honor the relationships that mean the most.

Shelby Day is a wedding and portrait photographer who has been documenting life's most joyous moments for over ten years - using both film and digital mediums.

Shelby is INCREDIBLE!!! She is not only a phenomenal photographer, but an amazing woman as well. I have had the pleasure of working with her as a bride and a bridesmaid and she was perfect both times. Shelby captures the moments with grace and experience. Her handle on lighting is immaculate! She was my first vendor to book and I am so happy that I was able to have her capture my special day. Shelby is a calm and warming presence on the wedding day and detailed in the planning process as well.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Shelby. Her warmth, genuine kindness, and calming presence makes her stand out. She has an incredible gift for capturing the most authentic moments without ever making us feel posed or unnatural. We felt completely comfortable the entire time, and it honestly felt like having a close friend with us throughout the day!!! She will be your personal hype gal, guaranteed. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. Every image is filled with emotion, beauty, and all the little details we didn’t even realize she had noticed. We are in love with the pictures—and so is everyone else!
