Awarded Best of Zola
Once my fiancé and I got engaged, there was no question to who our wedding photographer would be. Tara Wilburn Photography is AMAZING! Being a wedding photographer myself, I knew that I wanted a crisp, timeless style and Tara's portfolio is just that! We had a destination wedding in the mountains and Tara was so helpful in planning out the details of the timeline so that our day went smoothly! Our wedding gallery is filled with gorgeous images of everything we could have wanted and more! She captured our day flawlessly. It is SO important to hire a professional photographer for your wedding day. Weddings go by way too fast and the only way to remember each detail of your day is by flipping through your wedding gallery. At the end of the day, all you have left are the pictures. Tara captured something that we will treasure forever! We had a wonderful experience with her. Tara is the photographer's photographer! Highly recommend!

I’m Shelby, the photographer behind Shelby Nicole Photography. I believe the most meaningful photos come from real connection and genuine moments. What began as a creative outlet grew into a calling, leading me to pursue a photography degree at North Georgia Technical College and build a career centered on storytelling. Today, I photograph weddings and meaningful life moments across North Georgia with a laid-back, thoughtful approach. My goal is for you to be fully present while I capture the big emotions, quiet moments, and details that make your story truly yours.

Shelby Nicole Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Shelby was extremely responsive to all of our questions and requests, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, Shelby's professionalism and warm demeanor helped make the experience fun and stress-free. When my family was not ready and did not show to the site, Shelby remained calm and patient, which was truly amazing. I was in a bind as the photographer I initially hired was a scam, but Shelby helped us through the process of hiring with ease, and I am so grateful for her. She did an amazing job on all our engagement pictures, and the photos from our wedding day are absolutely stunning. I HIGHLY recommend Shelby Nicole Photography to any couple looking for a talented, easy-to-work-with photographer who will capture all the special moments of your big day.

She has a way of capturing all of the perfect moments. We will NEVER use another photographer. She is also an incredibly professional and kind person who makes the whole photo taking experience so fun and comfortable!

My images will always reflect the truth of your day, shot in a timeless and artistic way.

Absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Maggie from Stepping Stones Photography! From start to finish, she was an absolute gem, exceeding every expectation I had for our wedding photos. Her intuition and professionalism were truly unmatched; she seemed to anticipate every meaningful moment before it even happened! What blew me away the most were the photos themselves. They were not just pictures; they were windows into the emotions and memories of our special day. Each shot captured the essence of the moment perfectly, and looking through them brought tears to my eyes all over again. Maggie was incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. She listened attentively to my ideas and preferences, and seamlessly incorporated them into her artistic vision. Her ability to adapt to changing circumstances and still deliver such breathtaking results was nothing short of amazing. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who goes above and beyond, who understands the significance of every smile, every tear, and every laugh, you really have to book Maggie. She is not just a photographer; she's a storyteller, and she will make your wedding memories last a lifetime in the most beautiful way possible. Highly, highly recommend!

I was looking all over for a photographer and when I landed on her Insta, I fell in love with Jumara's editing style, so of course I contacted her asap a year in advance just to make sure she was available for my date!! Overall, Jumara went above and beyond to capture the beautiful moments of our special day. Her attention to detail must be noted! One of our bridesmaids forgot to take a hairband off her wrist, and Jumara noticed it immediately and pointed it out. When we were taking family photos, she also spent extra time repositioning every specific person so that the overall photo would look balanced. I honestly just expected her to snap the photos as is, but nope, she made sure to stage each and every person so that everyone's face could be seen (and there were a lot in our LARGE family)!! Speaking of our large family, Jumara had SO much patience and handled it like a champ. I felt like it was so chaotic, but she didn't even seem to break out a sweat! At one point, she decided it would look better if some individuals sat down for the photos, so she and her second shooter quickly and tirelessly grabbed chairs for them (I would have been physically exhausted if I had to do that lol). I really appreciated her very specific posing instructions, so I didn't have to think about where to place my hands, or whether to smile, etc. Jumara was great about communicating with us throughout the event to make sure we were okay with taking more photos in certain areas, etc. I was constantly worried we were running behind schedule, but she reassured us when we had extra time to take even more photos, even including some spontaneous ones with my family before the ceremony! I felt sorry about her having to deal with the groom and I's large families, from coordinating our formal family portraits with its MULTIPLE configurations, to PATIENTLY following us around during the reception as we greeted each table and took pics. And at the end of this stressful and eventful day, as we were saying goodbye, Jumara didn't even seem tired at all! Thank you Jumara, I am so glad I found you!! Also, shout out to her assistant photographer Kirsten Joci for working tirelessly as well throughout the event! At one point amid the chaos of taking family photos, she even ran and got us boba to make sure we stayed hydrated and energized! Thank you! After the wedding, 3 days later, we received a few photos as a sneak peek, and they look amazing! I can't wait to get the rest!! (eta 4-8 weeks)

I moved around a lot growing up and I can remember not always loving it. But now, truly grateful for how it's shaped me. My husband was the exact opposite. He had a hometown, graduated high school with childhood friends, knowing every street, and watching every change. I think that is part of the reason we were attracted to each other. One yearning for roots, and the other for branches. Finding them within each other. Finding in each other a home and an adventure. It is hard to remember who I was before him, and hard to imagine my life without him. When I think of him... I smile, I cry, I laugh. This is what makes me feel alive.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gabby is FANTASTIC! I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for a photographer. My husband and I are introverted and not super comfortable in front of the camera but Gabby made it easy. The communication throughout the whole process was perfect. She checked in often enough to ease my anxiety, but not so much that it added extra stress through the wedding planning process. We had her do our engagement and wedding photos and she did an amazing job at capturing our love in a way that felt authentic to who we are as a couple. She truly listened to what we wanted. On the actual wedding day, she literally saved my life by sewing a button to my dress so that I could have a bustle for my train to make sure I enjoyed the dancing without tripping or ruining my dress. She was so much more than our photographer, she was our friend who looked out for us and supported us the entire day. You will not be disappointed if you choose Burlap and Blossom!
