let's get to know each other
My name is Shelley Costello
I love photography & it started naturally when my children were little & I'd capture their funny moments with my point and shoot camera. Over the years that evolved to doing the odd family event & weddings to gaining my photography accreditation & realising my dream of becoming a wedding photographer.
I love fairytales and so the whole happily ever after works well when it comes to photographing weddings.
I am a wife & mum. As well as photography, I love yoga, swimming & running.
Life is all about people, moments & emotions that we want to hold on to..
I’ve always loved taking photographs of people, capturing emotion just at the right moment. There’s something beautiful about that which just touches your soul. To look back at an image and feel that emotion.
My aim is always to capture whatever is happening as it unfolds. It's real and the emotion in the photographs brings the story to life.
When I give people back their photographs and they watch the the story of their day, it is like they are transported back in time, reliving it over again.
It's a lovely thing to be able to give people back their moments to cherish and treasure over again for a lifetime.
SIGNATURE STYLE
DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Documentary wedding photography is about creating a story - your story. Capturing the moments of your day as they unfold.

Documentary photography is to capture, what is, rather than creating a version of that or overly setting something up. And although we each interpret a photograph or a story in a different way, I approach editing by letting the photograph itself guide me - reflecting what is and what's real, while making small edits that bring out the best in each photograph.
What do I love...
I am a 70's baby and love the classic vintage look and feel which is inspired warm and nostalgic hues... think back to the vintage charm of Kodak Gold and you get the picture.
