photography by Scarlett shellis
I’ve been photographing weddings for over ten years now, capturing hundreds of wonderful, emotional celebrations across the UK and beyond. What I love most about this job is the people.
My approach is calm and relaxed, with gentle guidance when you need it and plenty of space for real moments to unfold naturally. My goal is simple: to help you feel completely at ease so you can enjoy every second of the day while I capture it all as it happens.
As a child I had a wild imagination that quickly grew into a love for the arts. From photography and painting to fashion and design, I was always drawn to anything creative. My bedroom walls were plastered with torn-out pages from fashion magazines and stacks of Italian Vogue, which probably explains my love of beautiful imagery and a little editorial flair.
I went on to study Fine Art & Visual Communication, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree with Honours. During that time, one of my photographs was even exhibited at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, which was a very proud moment (and a nice reminder that all those creative obsessions were leading somewhere).
Photography has been part of my life ever since, but what I love most about weddings is the people. I genuinely love interacting with couples and their families, and by the time the day gets going I often end up feeling more like one of your favourite guests than just the photographer.
I’m there for far more than the photos. I’ll fluff your dress so it falls perfectly, hold your drink while you hug guests, fix a buttonhole, calm nerves before you walk down the aisle, and gently guide you when you need it. Think of me as a photographer, dress-fluffer, professional hype person and extra pair of hands all rolled into one.
My style is relaxed with a subtle editorial influence, perfect if you’re not used to being in front of the camera or feel a little camera shy. There’s no stiff or outdated posing here, just natural movement, honest moments and a bit of gentle direction to help you look and feel your best.
The biggest compliment I hear from couples is that they actually enjoyed having their photos taken and felt completely comfortable being themselves. That’s always the goal.
By the end of the day, my hope is that you’ll feel like you had someone by your side who truly cared about your experience, not just the photos. Someone who made you laugh when the nerves kicked in, fixed the little things you didn’t notice, and quietly captured all the moments that mattered.
If you’re looking for beautiful, natural photographs and a photographer who’ll feel more like a calm, friendly presence than someone directing the show, we’ll probably get along just fine.
Proud to be a recommended supplier at some of the UK’s most beautiful venues:
Ettington Park Hotel • Coton House Farm • Kelmarsh Hall
I’m also thrilled to have been recognised as a Hitched Awards Winner 2025, which is such an honour and a lovely nod to the couples I’ve been lucky enough to work with.
Being trusted by these venues and recognised by Hitched reinforces what I’ve always known: my focus is on creating relaxed, meaningful, and beautiful images while helping couples feel completely at ease on their big day.
From intimate ceremonies to grand celebrations, I offer wedding photography packages to suit every kind of day — from registry office and twilight weddings to full-day and destination celebrations.

"Scarlett was an absolute dream to work with! As a couple who aren’t usually comfortable in front of the camera, she made the whole experience feel so natural and relaxed.
We couldn’t recommend Scarlett highly enough. The quality and quantity of photos we received were incredible from start to finish, and she went above and beyond, even helping out with things that weren’t photo-related.
Thanks to her, we now have the most stunning memories captured forever — something we’ll cherish for a lifetime."

"‘Booking Scarlett for our wedding
was by far one of the best decisions we made.
Having to reschedule twice she was so accommodating and understanding. When we finally got to meet her on our day she didn’t disappoint. We’re not normally the most photogenic people and Scarlett made us feel so comfortable, it was like we had known her for years. We also absolutely loved how excited she got when she found a perfect shot! Scarlett clearly loves what she does and the proof is in the pudding!! We adore our photos"
