About Shelley Elena Photography

Shelley Montgomery

Owner/Photographery

I’m Shelley, a woman who has been fundamentally changed by love, and I suspect that you’re here because love has changed you too. It’s nice to meet you, fellow human full of brilliance and eccentricities. I’m a native Austinite, an extrovert who revels in meeting new people (but also appreciates alone time now that I have children), and an earnest optimist who thrives on seeing the gold in others.

I will document your wedding with the honesty and warmth with which I approach life, not ignoring the bitter, but treasuring the sweetness that balances it out. My goal is for you to have the best wedding day experience possible, which means preparing ahead of time, directing when I need to, but mostly just letting y'all enjoy the moments you have with the ones you love. More than 10 years of experience shooting weddings doesn't hurt either!

    Shelley Elena Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was flawless and relaxing putting us at ease and making the entire process so enjoyable. On the day of our wedding, they blended seamlessly into the celebration, capturing every moment with a fun, relaxed, and professional approach. The quality of their work was truly phenomenal - the photos they delivered are stunning and capture the joy and intimacy of our special day perfectly. Shelley went above and beyond, providing us with an incredible experience and beautiful keepsakes that we will cherish forever. I can't begin to express my gratitude for their flawless execution and the special care they took with our wedding. They are simply the best in the business. Thank you so much, Shelley!

    Shelley Elena Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Her communication was flawless, easy, and felt so natural throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was truly incredible - the photos they captured were absolutely beautiful, personal, and full of loving attention to detail. Shelley felt like a part of our family, not just the photographer, and helped make our special day even more memorable. I cannot recommend Shelley Elena Photography highly enough.

    Shelley photographed our wedding in November and I cannot recommend her enough! Not only is she so kind and professional, she’s a fantastic photographer. All of our pictures are beautiful and perfectly captured our day. While the posed photos are amazing, my favorite are all of the candid photos or action shots she got. You can truly feel the emotions of that moment through the photos. The day after our wedding she sent us some sneak peeks and we got our photos quickly. She also sent us a lovely package with some prints and a USB of all the photos. If you need a photographer, you cannot go wrong with Shelley!
