Some More About Me
Lets get to know each other
My name is Shell
I am 41 and living in Norfolk. When I am not shooting weddings and documenting couples being cute on camera, I will either be at home with my partner of 20 years, Andrew and my working cocker spaniel Effie or we will all be out on the road in our self converted campervan.
Either at one of the beaches along the Norfolk coastline or at the woods taking long walks with Effie and then snuggling up to watch a movie. I really like the simple things in life and have always been an outdoorsy lass.
Absolutely love
Being at the beach and being outdoors. This shows through my work, so you will see lots of beach and woodland shoots on my social media pages, as this is where I tend to gravitate towards. I love the space of being outside and the everchanging light. Rain doesn't even worry me or put me off.
When I'm at home
and if I am not working, you'll find me on the sofa cuddling Effie, watching my fave TV boxsets:
Life on Mars, Buffy the vampire slayer, Breaking Bad or The Walking Dead.
I love old school sitcoms that I grew up watching too, Some Mother do 'ave 'em, Porridge, Only Fools and Horses and Goodnight Sweetheart.
I love action and disaster movies, Harry Potter and anything with Julia Roberts!
Oh and I am partial to Love Island.... much to Andrews annoyance!
HOW I STARTED
I was bought my first camera in 2013 & I had no idea where it would lead. Over the years I have tried many types of photography. I started shooting weddings in 2019 and having navigated my way through a global pandemic that closed down the entire industry, my true love lies with couples & weddings. I really try to capture the essence of who you are as a couple and document the day as it happens. Fun and honest photos with movement.

Who I have lots of things in common with.
You are any size, age, sex or race - none of this matters to me, as long as you are in love.
You love going for walks and like being outdoors. You are animal lovers and most definitely dog owners (or want to be). You like travelling of any kind and anywhere. You get enjoyment from the simple things in life and appreciate time together above anything else. You are fun and don't take life too seriously. You can laugh at yourselves and each other. You may not massively enjoy having their photo taken but you do value photos and what they mean. You want to hang photos around your home to remind you of your favourite times together. You love a good party night and either one of you, or both of you will throw some crazy shapes on the dancefloor with zero embarrassment. Music choices is anything from David Bowie to Busted. From Elvis to Backstreet Boys (yes I bloody said Backstreet Boys). From Kate Bush to P!nk.
You are honest and authentic and are all about living in the moment and 'avin a right laff!
So if this sounds anything like you, and you don't mind the odd swear word... I just might be for you.
