About Shalyn O’Neal Photography

I'm a photographer who values both natural moments and helpful guidance.

My journey in the wedding industry began when I was just 9 years old when my family opened a wedding venue in our backyard.

I grew up witnessing countless celebrations and fell in love with helping couples on their special day—which eventually blossomed into my passion for wedding photography. It's all about finding that perfect balance—letting genuine moments unfold naturally while helping you feel confident in front of the lens.

When I'm not capturing wedding days, you'll find me chasing around my two toddlers, attempting to have a green thumb, or making sourdough. I understand the mix of excitement and nerves that comes with planning your special day, and I'm here to make the photography experience one part of your wedding that feels easy and enjoyable.

MY VALUES

01 Authentic Connection

I believe the best photos happen when you feel comfortable being yourselves. While I'll provide guidance when needed, I'm most interested in capturing the real you—the glances, laughs, and quiet moments that tell your unique story.

02 Faith & Family

My faith and family ground everything I do. When I'm not photographing weddings, I'm soaking up time with my husband of 7 years and our two toddlers. This perspective helps me understand what truly matters about your wedding day.

03 Experience & Expertise

Growing up in my family's wedding venue since I was 9 gave me a unique perspective on celebrations. I understand weddings from multiple angles, helping me anticipate moments worth capturing and making your experience smoother along the way.
