TOP SHELF PHOTO REVIEWS
We were looking for a photographer who was sharp, communicative, friendly, punctual, responsive, and professional. We found all of that and more with Shaun from Top Shelf Photo. Our package included an engagement session, through which we were able to meet Shaun and discuss the wedding before the big day. This was very helpful for us and really let us get to know him so we weren't stiff or uncomfortable at all during photos at the wedding. When the wedding did role around, Shaun and his second, Warren, were actually early and went to both the bride and groom suite to make sure we were all on schedule! They were so friendly and calm the whole day, extremely professional, and just let us "do our thing" while they captured photos of the wedding party getting ready. Shaun followed all our cues and made us feel extremely relaxed all day. Working with them was a breeze, and WOW-- the photos were even more amazing than I could have imagined. I will absolutely recommend Top Shelf to anyone in need of a photographer, and be booking Shaun and his team again. Thank you Shaun!
Shaun is absolutely amazing and talented. He will not disappoint! His attention to detail, and passion in this field truly shows in his work. He’s the photographer I’ve always wanted to have the pleasure to work with, a true artist. I’m so grateful for the photos he was able to capture for my baby girls maternity photos. I will cherish them for the rest of my life
It's been over a year since our wedding and I'm still in awe of our wedding photos. Shaun was so amazing to work with. He got some amazing shots of our special day. I highly recommend him for all your special events!

MELISSA MCCLURE PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS
We just had our latest shoot with Melissa McClure Photography, and as usual, we are impressed!!! Melissa is so efficient in getting tons of awesome images when working with my crazy kiddos and our dogs! I'm always amazed at how she takes whatever surroundings we are in (we have had several shoots with her- home, backyard, parks, urban) and finds just the right spot and angles so fast. I think that knowledge comes with all her experience. Highly recommend!!!
Melissa does AMAZING work! Her attention to detail and personality behind the camera really makes you feel comfortable and love EVERY shot she takes!! 10/10 would Recommend
A very experienced photographer and all around wonderful, uplifting and positive person to be around!

MKL IMAGES REVIEWS
I am blown away by Mary! She's simply the best. She captured our engagement and wedding moments perfectly. She's very communicative, easy to work and best of all, made me and my husband feel at ease. It's awkward to pose in front of the camera but Mary made us feel comfortable and we had a blast doing the photos. Mary was also great with photographing our dog Buds, who was in our engagement photos and also was the ring bearer in our wedding. I recommend her to all my friends and family members who need photos. FYI, she does more than just weddings and engagements, she does family photos and headshots too :)
Mary has an exquisite eye for capturing life’s moments; the moments you wish you could relish forever! We’ve been a fan of her photography from the start of MKL Images & were thrilled to have her take our long overdue family pictures! She was very personable, accommodating, and professional. Not to mention, very patient with our 3 year old! She did such quality work that we purchased a photo session for my aunt and uncle’s family! Mary loves what she does and proof of this can be seen in the care & detail that goes into her photography! She also got our pictures to us promptly! I highly recommend MKL!
Mary was Amazing! She was so creative with a family of 5. Especially my 14 month old Active Boy! Our Photos came out Gorgeous. The Locations she chooses are Beautiful. I will most definitely be booking her for my next family photo session.
