MEET THE ARTIST

I’m Sheyanne, a destination wedding photographer based in the state of Hawaii specializing in digital and film photography. I serve couples in the state of Hawaii, the US mainland and abroad. Each day of my life I pinch myself with the reality and awe that I feel that this is my career. Documenting love stories near and far fills me heart with endless joy and gratitude.

I was raised in Oregon on a farm where I was always outside, painting, drawing, or stealing my mom’s film camera (and then running to CVS to get it developed!!). Creativity always came natural and effortless to me. I came to Hawaii in 2013 as I pursued my degree to become a mental health therapist. Authenticity, healing and connection have always been some of my most natural gifts and as I continued in school, I felt a pull to express myself more creatively. In 2016, I bought my first DSLR and began shooting all the little moments in my life. In 2017, I decided that I wanted to make this happen and chose to dive head first into this business. Since then, I have photographed hundreds of couples all over the world and piece by piece crafted my style, approach and system ensuring I am able to give my couples one of a kind service with tangibles that transport them back to their day forever and ever.

In my personal life, I value family and connection above all else. My love and relationship with my husband is what allows me to feel so connected to the love I am able to document. I cannot tell you how many times I am tearing up documenting a first look or meaningful vows feeling rejuvenated seeing how much love truly exists in the world. I enjoy mothering my beautiful daughter Flora and two chubby french bulldogs. I love any excuse to be outside, swim in the ocean, connect with nature or travel anywhere and everywhere.

MY EFFORTLESSLY ELEVATED APPROACH

After years in the business, I realize I tend to do things a little different. I take a middle ground approach to documentary vs editorial style photography. My biggest priority as a photographer is to see your point of view and document that in a creative, artful way. I want to know what is important to you and shoot your day from that perspective. My goal is not only to give you one of a kind photos you cannot wait to share on your socials or print and hang throughout your home, additionally I want to create art that transports you back to exactly how you felt. I am all about helping my couples be their natural, yet elevated self, helping them pose as needed but doing so in ways that are true to them and their relationship. I blend effortlessly between documenting and posing so that your day feels authentic and fluid, while still receiving beautiful, iconic images.

Due to almost all of my couples having destination weddings, my process allows for us to get to know each other through a consult call, questionnaire and resources leading up to the day so that by the time your day arrives, I understand you two, your values, your vision and I can take the love you feel for those in your life and document it in a effortless way for you to always look back on. Because I know what's important to you and your relationship, I am able to focus on that as I document your day creating images that are unique, meaningful and timeless.

WHEN I TELL YOU THIS WAS THE BEST DECISION I MADE AS A BRIDE, BELIEVE ME. My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to work with Shey... for SO MANY REASONS.

"I WAS BLOWN AWAY AT THE MOMENTS SHE WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE"

Sheyanne is INCREDIBLE. She is extremely kind-hearted, welcoming, and (obviously) TALENTED!!!Her art speaks for itself, but her mix of professionalism and warmth sparked the connection for my now husband and I. She is truly a wonderful human being. Her pre-wedding checklist and questionnaires helped to bring our wedding vision to life due to Sheyanne's remarkable eye for photography. I told her to experiment and to feel free to try out new unique shots with us and gooooodness, did she deliver. I was blown away at the moments she was able to capture - your wedding day goes by so quickly, it's important to work with a photographer who will capture every precious shot. I look back at our photos with a huge smile as every memory rushes back to me, thanks to Sheyanne. Like all photographers, you will get what you pay for. Please don't see wedding photos as an "expense," but rather as an investment. Sheyanne was worth every penny in our budget, not just because of the art she produces, but her sunny demeanor and the ability to make you feel comfortable, like you've known her for years.

"SHE WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST CHOICE FOR YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER!"

We love Sheyanne!!! She was and will always be the best choice for your wedding photographer! She somehow kept us calm yet hyped throughout our day and made us feel camera ready. We wanted someone that would capture the emotions of the day as well as shoot more candid photos versus posed. Her style of shooting is exactly what we wanted. We also had our wedding at a venue that Sheyanne had not photographed at before which made me initially nervous, but Sheyanne was very open about it and talked me through her process. She really took the time to get to know the venue and found beautiful and unique spots that really elevated our photos.

"I CANNOT SING SHEYANNE'S PRAISES LOUDLY ENOUGH"

I cannot sing Sheyanne's praises loudly enough. I was so honored to be able to have worked with her. I stumbled upon her work after looking up pictures of our wedding venue. I knew we HAD to have her as our photographer! We booked her for our wedding and was incredibly accommodating, flexible, professional, and the sweetest human to work with. She made us feel so taken care of, so valued, and the most comfortable we could have been. Not only was the day of so streamlined and fun and EASY, but the pictures turned out better than I could have possibly imagined. We will forever be grateful for her, and if you get the chance to work with her, consider yourself the absolute luckiest! We would hire her again and again and again.

I have nothing but good things to say about Sheyanne! My husband and I were both a bit nervous about feeling awkward in front of the camera but Sheyanne made us both feel so comfortable! She was amazing at giving us the right cues to get so many amazing shots. When I first got in contact with Sheyanne about taking photos of our vow renewal, I told her I really wanted to have these photos to look back at this special moment but also fun time in our life. She exceeded my expectations! I could not be happier with how all the photos came out. Overall, she helped make this moment so special for my husband and I and I feel like a made a new friend.
