We used Shay Photography for our engagement party and the team was fantastic! We had Gabriel photographing moments from that special night and he did such a good job capturing natural raw emotions. He also made us feel so comfortable throughout the process. Beautiful pictures and video. Would highly recommend!

Shay and Mia were so wonderful to work with and Shay’s enthusiasm is so infectious. They really know what they are doing too! They helped streamline a stressful surprise engagement. So happy I went with them. They are also very transparent with how the photo licensing works and ensure we will have the proper legal rights to the photos.
