    Captured our day perfectly!

    We chose Shelly due to her documentary style of photography as we both aren't photogenic people. She captured our day exactly how I remembered it and its so beautiful to see how happy everyone was on our wedding which luckily we have the photographs to cherish. Such a wonderful lady as well, so friendly and made us both feel relaxed and she comes prepared to get the perfect shots :) Couldn't have asked for more as the photos are exactly what we wanted. PERFECT!

It was so lovely to meet you and be able to capture that for you. Wishing you both lots of love and happiness, thank you again. Shelley

    Absolutely perfect photography.

    I used 'Hitched' to find a photographer, not knowing where to start to find the right one. I made contact with Shelley who was very responsive to my enquiry and after talking to her I knew she was the one. Her friendly and relaxed approach made me feel that she would be perfect.

    On the day, Shelley was very professional and helpful, she even assisted the groom and best man in putting on their buttonholes upon arrival! She put my mind at ease when it rained, reassuring me that umbrellas would create an extra effect. She was right!

    We loved her photographic style, particularly the natural photos and some funny ones of family members being caught "in the moment". She perfectly captured the day and sequence of events like a storybook in photos. We also loved the option of both colour and black & white photos within our photo gallery.

    Our special day and memories have been preserved by the photos Shelley took for us on our wedding day. She did an amazing job and was great value for money. We would highly recommend booking her for your wedding day.

    Shelley Costello Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Fiona for your amazing review. You are very welcome. It was a pleasure to have met you both and been able to capture your special day. I am humbled by your words and so happy that you love your photographs so much. Thank you for your recommendation, I really appreciate it. Wishing you both lots of love and happiness. Shelley

    I can’t recommend Shelley enough as a wedding photographer! From start to finish, she was an absolute gem. Shelley’s calm and laid-back demeanor made our wedding day run smoothly and effortlessly. She had a wonderful way of capturing every special moment while keeping everything relaxed and enjoyable.

    We’re incredibly grateful for her expertise and the beautiful photos she took. Each picture is a perfect representation of the day, filled with emotion and joy. We love them all and will cherish these memories forever. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who can make your day unforgettable, Shelley is the one to choose!

    Great photographer

    Got married 5 weeks ago and booked Shelley Costello for the occasion, she was absolutely amazing, the whole day with her was so calm even our guests complemented the way she handled it. My wife and I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone. The photos are fantastic and she even through in a couple of surprise photos we didn't know about, as for the cost she is very reasonable.
    10 out 10 on everything.

    A gorgeous mix of posed and candid photos of us and our guests

    Shelley was simply brilliant. We changed our minds about what parts of our wedding we wanted to be captured and how long we wanted her to be there a couple of times quite close to the wedding and she was always happy to adjust and fit with what we wanted. On the day itself she was really excellent at guiding us to take key photos at important points when we would otherwise have been entirely swept away with the festivities. We are absolutely thrilled with the beautiful photos she took for us - we have a gorgeous mix of posed and candid photos of us as a couple and some stunning photos of our guests enjoying each and every part of the day. We will look back on Shelley's photos of our wedding with big smiles for years to come. Thank you Shelley!

    Shelley was an amazing asset to our wedding. Her photos are phenomenal. Couldn’t ask for a more friendly and understand person who understood our needs for our wedding photos.
    Cannot recommend enough 10/10

    Above and beyond amazing!!!!

    Shelley was our photographer at our wedding in December last year and she was absolutely amazing!!! She was so helpful with the whole day too not just with the photos and went above and beyond, nothing was ever too much for her. We received the photos back so quickly and they were absolutely gorgeous exactly what we wanted. To top it off Shelley is just a kind, genuine person and it was a pleasure having her as our wedding photographer! We can’t thank her enough. Love Claire & George xx

    Tailor made for our intimate wedding

    Shelley made our day extra special. She tailor made it to accommodate our small wedding party (10 people). She made us feel comfortable even though my husband and I both don’t like having our photo taken. We have some lovely photos to remember our special day. Would 100% recommend.

    Shelley Costello Photography's reply:

    Hi Leigh & Scott
    Thank you so much for your lovely review, I really appreciate your thoughts and kind words, so happy to hear that. I loved photographing your wedding, it was a pleasure and so easy really because you are both so in love. The backdrop was beautiful at The Falcon too and I loved the photo you showed me you framed too. Thank you so much. Wishing you both lots of love and happiness. Shelley

    Fantastic photographer.

    I chose Shelley as a photographer for my wedding as she came across as very caring and friendly.
    My wedding was a small intimate family gathering.
    Shelley’s reviews were excellent on your website, and the photos she had taken were amazing.
    Shelley went out of her way to make my day very special, you could hardly tell she was there, she blended in so well.
    She did a lovely slideshow of my day which is a lovely keepsake.
    I would recommend her she is very professional.

    Shelley Costello Photography's reply:

    Thank you Marie & Gordon, I really appreciate your lovely feedback and kind words. Your wedding was beautiful and such a gorgeous sunny day. Everyone had a great time and Marie, you looked incredible! Wishing you both lots of happiness together. Keep in touch!
    Thank you,
    Shelley
