Shelley + Portugal 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,250
  • Serves Oakland, KY

We always joke that we feel like the black sheep of the wedding industry, and that isn't a bad thing at all. We've stepped away from trend-driven, performative wedding culture, and instead collaborate closely with our couples to create photographs that are personal, honest, and timeless. We achieve this by arriving to your wedding as friends, slipping seamlessly into the natural flow & dynamic of the day, and documenting it all from the inside out. No shot lists, no pressure to keep every hair in place... just real, perfectly imperfect moments unfolding right before our cameras.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ll start off this review by saying it’s taken me so long to write because the thought of capturing all the magic and warmth and talent and goodness that Shelley and Portugal infused into our wedding was an incredibly daunting task. How could I begin to describe how comfortable they made us feel? How they simultaneously brought the energy and life to the party but practically disappeared into the background so they could capture those special in-between moments? When you think of wedding photography, you think of the big, posed moments. But the reason why we hired Shelley and Portugal is because we also wanted to see all the moments in between. And man, they DELIVERED. As I click through my wedding album, it’s almost like I’m being transported back to the day. You can literally feel the joy, the memories, and the emotion jump off the page, and something like that can only happen when the creators are immensely talented, thoughtful, and devoted to their craft. Let’s talk about Shelley and Portugal themselves. Talk about a dream team. Shelley will walk you through your day with laughter and an arm around your shoulder. She is an expert at capturing those big, beautiful moments and making it feel so easy for you and your whole wedding party. She’s bright, energetic, and truly a joy to be around any day, but especially on such a crazy day as your wedding. Portugal is the other side of their wonderful coin. The number of times I would see him out of the corner of my eye capturing tiny moments or the movement and energy of the evening was countless. One of my favorites is when my husband and I were in our getaway car and Portugal popped in and took a few quick shots, which ended up being some of my favorites of the whole album! With the two of them, you get it all. Their services were by far some of the best money we spent on our wedding and I would do it a hundred times over. The photos and video they created for us are among my most treasured possessions! Their true superpower is storytelling — and who wouldn’t want expert storytellers documenting their love story? I’m so grateful our paths crossed and that they were the ones who captured ours.

I have always felt uncomfortable in front of a camera and because of this I was so nervous of how they would come out. Well let me tell you….they came out STUNNING. Mike and Joseph from Ledd made both of us feel so comfortable and actually made it enjoyable. They were so creative with ideas to get amazing shots, including a really cool long exposure to capture the nighttime sky. I couldn’t have asked for a better team or more beautiful photos.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

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 more than hiring a professional to take photos — it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your 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

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

I don't even know where to begin, Hannah is a ray of sunshine in human form. Not only, does she make being in front of the camera comfortable and easy, but she does so with humor and professionalism that cannot be taught. My husband usually turns into a cardboard statue in front of the camera, and within minutes he was comfortable, laughing and having a great time. This is all on top of the fact that her artistic, photographic style is unmatched. Her ability to take a sweet moment and turn it into art is a gift that lasts a lifetime. I have been fortunate enough to work with Hannah on all of our major life events and I will continue to do so until she fires me as a client. I love her and I promise you will too!

The quality of their work is simply stunning - my photos came back more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and I truly could not have asked for a better person to be there to capture all the special moments of our big day. Ashlee and her team were professional, personable, and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was perfect. I would recommend Ashlee Michelle Photography to any couple in a heartbeat.
