About Darian Shantay Photography

Darian Shantay Photography

Wedding Photographer

I’m Darian — drawn to golden light, honest emotion, and the art of telling a story as it naturally unfolds. For over eight years, I’ve had the privilege of documenting weddings with an intentional, refined approach that values both beauty and meaning.

Alongside my own work, I’ve built The Team — a carefully curated group of photographers personally trained by me and trusted to photograph weddings on my behalf. Whether I’m behind the camera or one of my talented associates is capturing your day, you can feel confident knowing every detail is handled with care, consistency, and experience.

    The Perfect Wedding Photographer

    I am absolutely obsessed with Darian, both as a person and photographer! I booked Darian for my wedding because I loved the aesthetic and style of her photos. She is truly one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, and her love for her work and her couples shines through! We have received our sneak peak wedding photos, and when I tell you I am IN AWE of these photos….I can’t get over them. I can’t wait to see our full gallery….I know they’re going to blow me away! I highly recommend booking Darian, as she will capture your day perfectly

    Blown Away!

    My husband and I wanted to get "wedding" anniversary pictures taken, as we never had a big wedding and wanted pictures to look back on, so I reached out to Darian and from the very second I contacted she was very on it, professional, and accommodating! When it was the day of the shoot, we were blown away by the professionalism, the passion, and overall wonderful experience we had with her. We LOVE our pictures!! Thank you so much Darian!

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
I do! You have the option to hire just myself or add on an additional photographer to your wedding package. A few of the packages I offer do include a second shooter.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer extended retouching services like skin smoothing, blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.
You can expect about 50 to 75 images per hour of shooting. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a digital online gallery with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
In my 6 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to shoot your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
