About Shot By Shante Photography

Shot By Shante Photography

Owner, Lead Photographer

Hi, I'm Shanté! My love story with photography began at an early age - Around 7 or 8, I began collecting old pictures of my family, many taken before I was even born. I loved hearing the background story behind each polaroid, featuring beloved members of my family, some of which I never got the pleasure to meet. I was mesmerized by the fact that a single image could be so meaningful, so precious, and so nostalgic. As cliché as it is, it's absolutely true - a picture really is worth a thousand words. ​ It gives me much pride to capture authentic love stories for those who believe that the greatest of these is love. ​ -Shanté

Clients rave about my outstanding professionalism, and ability to bring the fun vibes at the same time. I'm a firm believer in getting the shot, and also having a great time in the process! I am different from your ordinary photographer in that I like to create an experience - starting from inquiry until you say " I Do", I'll be with you every step of the way!

    AMAZING!

    We cannot recommend Shot by Shante Photography enough! From start to finish, Shante exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day. Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were truly outstanding. She captured every special moment beautifully, from the big emotional moments to the small candid memories we will cherish forever. Not only are the photos absolutely stunning, but Shante also made us feel comfortable, confident, and relaxed throughout the entire process. Her ability to direct poses while still capturing genuine emotions is a true talent. The quality of her work is exceptional, and her dedication to ensuring every shot was perfect did not go unnoticed. When we received our photos, we were completely blown away. Every image told the story of our day in the most beautiful and authentic way. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, reliable, and passionate about what she does, Shot by Shante Photography is the perfect choice. Thank you for giving us memories that we will treasure for a lifetime!

    Amazing work and personality!!!

    Anytime I am able to work with Shante I am so excited! Her energy is amazing and immediately you know you are in good hands. She’s patient with vendors, always communicates and brings new ideas to the table. With clients, she makes sure they are at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. I completely trust her creative eye to always find new ways to collaborate together.

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.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
Yes, I do offer video services (Something Blue Package)
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-8 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a sneak peek of your images.
To this day, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or a 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.
Secure your wedding day with a $250 deposit. The remaining balance can be paid on any cadence of your choosing. We allow you the freedom to pay as you go in installments, or all at once. Balance must be paid in full by 14 days before your big day!
There is no set number of photos I deliver, as each wedding day and timeline is different! Rest assured, we will tell your love story from beginning to end!
