PHOTOGRAPHER + ADVENTURE SEEKER
Hey friend! I’m so happy you’ve made it to my little corner of the world. I’m Shayla Brown, a destination wedding + elopement photographer based in Ohio. I’m always striving to create art, and my photography style is all about authentic, raw and emotional storytelling through imagery. I love playing with shadows and capturing the candid moments.
My life motto has always been to enjoy the little things. Morning rain, the first sip of coffee, the smell of fresh laundry. I’m a homebody at heart, but always up for an adventure! I’m passionate about non toxic living, hike whenever I get the chance, and pray I can have 30 acres of land one day!
When I’m not documenting love stories, you’ll find me…
lounging on the couch with my husband snuggling our Portiepoo, Maple
If I wasn’t a wedding photographer, I would be…
a singer-songwriter or plant shop owner
If I could live anywhere, I would live…
in Cincinnati! I love my city + it will always be home.
MY APPROACH:
CANDID.
EMOTION.
TIMELESS.
STORYTELLING.
AUTHENTIC.
JOY.
CANDID. EMOTION. TIMELESS. STORYTELLING. AUTHENTIC. JOY.
I’m always striving to create art, and my photography style is all about authentic, raw and emotional storytelling through imagery. When I photograph a couple’s special day, my goal is to tell their love story in a way that feels honest and authentic to them. That’s a momentous responsibility and one that I do not take lightly.
My top priority is to honor the trust my couples place in me to preserve the memories of their day beautifully and honestly. So sit back, relax, and just be yourselves — I’ll take care of the rest! The end result will be a collection of breathtaking photographs that you and your family will be able to treasure forever.
These aren’t just simple images — they’re moments in time that have been captured forever so that you can relive those joyful memories again and again. That’s the kind of magic I strive to capture with every couple I photograph. Get ready because it all starts here.
MY WHY
you want real + genuine moments captured
-
you don’t strive for perfect photos, but photos that capture all the little moments throughout your day
-
you don’t mind getting your dress a little dirty
-
