About Dear Heart Film + Portraits
Shelby Hunter
I created Dear Heart Film + Portraits in college when I realized just how much I love photographing other people. It started with fun-loving seniors and now has developed into capturing adventurous couples who are so unashamedly in love.
From the day we sign our contract, we're a team and I'll be there for you with whatever you need. I help with creating your timeline, providing location and outfit guidance for your engagement shoot, and answering any questions you have along the way.

Best decision we made for our wedding!!
Shelby was the first wedding vendor we hired and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! From our first conversation, Shelby was welcoming and made us feel like we were working with a friend rather than a vendor. She is extremely organized and has many built-in systems which really helped my husband and I organize our wedding day timeline. Over one-on-one meetings, she shared her prior experiences with us and it really helped us keep everything running smoothly so we could focus on our special day. When I encountered some problems with my dress right before the first-look photos, Shelby's calm energy helped me shake it off and stay present, which I am so thankful for. Her photos capture the joy and connection we felt in every shot, and it's clear she genuinely cares about her couples. Shelby is professional, flexible, and brings so much warmth to her work. We're thrilled with our photos and would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Highly recommend Dear Heart Film Portraits
Shelby and her team could not have done a better job. From the very beginning, she helped us build our timeline, decide which photos to include, and carry out our vision. On October 18, they kept us on schedule for our ceremony at the Lavallette Gazebo and our reception at La Mondina, and they captured every shot we had in mind and plenty we hadn’t thought of. They were on time, never got in the way, and our guests barely noticed they were there. Five days after the wedding, we received a sneak peek of over 100 photos, and every one of them looks incredible. They also filmed our wedding, and we can’t wait to see the rest of the photos and the video. We would recommend Dear Heart to any couple planning a wedding.

1000/10!
Shelby and her second shooter were both INCREDIBLE, I can’t imagine our wedding day with anyone else!! Shelby is extremely friendly, detail oriented, and delivers abundantly and on time. My wedding day had grey skies and lots of wind, but Shelby kept a sunny attitude and knew exactly how to scout the best photo spots. She’s a great director and will make sure you get all the shots you need, too! All my love to her

Exception wedding photography!
Working with Shelby was a joy! We had never been photographed professionally before our engagement shoot with her, and she made us feel completely at ease. She gave helpful ideas about how to stand/pose but without ever making it feel too overly posed. She is organized, responsive, and punctual, and got all the photos we wanted at our wedding, even when dealing with a large group of family. She is also just a joy to talk to and made our photo shoots so much fun! We’re so grateful to have found her!

The absolute best!
I cannot recommend Dear Heart Films enough!! From the engagement session, to timeline planning, to the wedding itself, Shelby and her team (Casey and Amanda) were amazing through and through. She is extremely detail oriented and had us fill out questionnaires to make sure that she was capturing our vision the way we wanted and she completely blew us away with her photos! She was also extremely flexible with us-- we decided two weeks before the wedding that we wanted our ceremony filmed too and she was able to accommodate us without any issues. One thing that I really love about her work is that you can see and feel the love and joy in the photos. I've looked at our wedding sneak peek album every single day since she sent it to us, and we are so excited to get the full album. Book her! You won't regret it! Thank you so much for capturing our day so beautifully Shelby, Casey and Amanda!!
