Plenty of communication before, during, and after so we knew what to expect. My fiancé didn't understand why people would want engagement photos, but ended the session by saying how much fun he had, and the end result speaks volumes. Thank you so much, Jackie! We will use her again and again!

The odds that you'll find better photography in Denver is slim to none. Selah's wedding work is…read moreamazing-- they get the shots you didn't know you wanted. This is exactly what a great event photographer should do. You didn't come to this review for 'event photographer' theory though did you? You came because life is good. Life is so good you want someone to photograph it, to memorialize it for the rest of time so you can always remember how good it was. But your good life is not just you and your best friends smiling your camera smiles in some stock pose. The photographer we hired from Selah, Jackie, gets well beyond that stuff and manages to capture some essence of what's important, unique, and timeless in the situation. So why listen to me? Because I hired a different company to take my photos the first time and was disappointed with the results. This gives me a standard of comparison (which is more than most people get.) Engaging Selah to take new ones after the fact was a great decision. I'd give 6 stars if I could.

I've had the pleasure of doing two photo shoots with Kari Marie, and my only regret is that I…read morehaven't made it back for more. Kari has a very easy, very open way about her and is open to all ideas and thoughts about the shoot. Like most women, I have some "problem areas" I was hoping to hide and she listened attentively to my concerns and then gave me a few suggestions as to how we could work around them while still achieving the results I was looking for. She takes an active interest in helping to plan the shoot, as well as ensuring that my needs were met. During the shoot, I felt very comfortable and at ease with her. My shoot was a boudoir shoot, so I was in various stages of disrobed throughout, and she was respectful, unobtrusive, and patient. Many times I had ideas as we were shooting and she listened fully, then made my ideas happen. For the most part she let me "do my thing" and shot photos as she saw fit, and kept a quiet but keen presence. I appreciated that, as sometimes I feel the constant talking and direction-giving of other photographers can be overwhelming and take away from the experience. The results? Absolutely stunning. I don't consider myself terribly photogenic but when I saw the final results I was floored! I loved every image. I could tell how much time and care went into not only taking the photo but also in the post-processing, resulting in gorgeous images that I could be proud of. When I received my images, she even offered to process/change anything I didn't like about the images I received so that I'd be ultimately happy with the finished product (no changes were needed! They were beautiful as is). I found that to be a really personal touch, and it showed me that she's willing to go above and beyond to make sure that her subjects are completely satisfied with their shoot. I also had the pleasure of doing a more professional shoot with Kari. Again, she maintained her easy professionalism throughout and the results? Just as impressive as my more personal shoot. She certainly has an artist's eye and knows how to deliver images that capture the feel of any situation. One of these days, we will do another shoot. And I'm confident that the results of this next shoot will be just as good as the first two. (And incase you're wondering, yes, the photo on my profile was the result of one of our shoots :)

I visited Kari with my girlfriend for a photo session. Kari started by setting down some basic…read moreground rules (where to stand, how to posture the body) and then we started. She was very quiet as she snapped away, allowing the chemistry between my and my girlfriend to develop naturally. After a while I mostly forgot she was there. I will admit that as an amateur model, I had moments of extreme self-consciousness where I wondered if I was "doing it right." But I couldn't have been more pleased with the result! We received maybe 20 or so photos and they all were outstanding. And I really appreciated how she focused all of her editing attention on only the best shots. Weeding though a thousand photos with one's girlfriend can be daunting task and I was happy not to have to do it.

Shanna was absolutely amazing! I found her on Thumbtack and hired her for my wedding and I could…read morenot be happier with the pictures she so artfully captured! From start to finish her communication was prompt, she was very professional and when my wedding day came I could not have asked for more. The wedding day can be a stressful time and she did not add to that stress. She was able to manage my huge family and my rowdy friends and captured beautiful photos all at the same time. Not only where the photos beautiful but they were artistic. Shanna was able to capture the smallest details to the largest moments. When I go through my photos I feel like I am reliving the day and all of the emotions that came with it. She knew exactly what style I was looking for and went above and beyond what I could have imagined. Her editing skills are very impressive! My husband and I really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to any one. Go with Shanna if you want quality photos and a stress free event/shoot. I added some photos that show her artistry, her vision, her attention to detail and her ability to capture the moment.

She captured our love and relationship better than we could have ever imagined. She also captured so many moments between our guests that made our hearts melt (our grandfathers meeting and shaking hands for the first time, cousins playing, couples dancing, etc). Before the big day, Shanna went to various locations to help us find the perfect first look location and talked with us multiple times to make sure we were all on the same page. On the day of the wedding, she was so organized and made sure everyone was where they needed to be for family pictures. There were also very few moments that she needed to take us away from our guests for pictures which allowed for maximum time for fun!
