About Kitty Wheeler Shaw Photography
My approach
Life, Unfiltered
I capture the true essence of your wedding day - alive, authentic, and free from stiff poses. Blending documentary photography with gentle direction, I create meaningful, artistic images that reflect the genuine emotions and atmosphere of your celebration.
Reflecting You
I adapt my distinct style to each couple’s unique energy, whether romantic, playful, or bold. Every image will reflect your personalities and the true feeling of your day, while still maintaining my signature style.
Digital and film
I use a mix of digital and 35mm film photography. Digital captures spontaneous moments, while film adds depth and emotion with its glorious imperfections.
Effortless and organic
I want you to feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The best images come from relaxed, organic moments that reflect your genuine connection, so just be present and enjoy your special day.

IT’S NOT COOL TO BE CYNICAL
THERE’S POWER IN SENSITIVITY
LOVING YOURSELF IS RESISTANCE
My story
“You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” - MARY OLIVER
I believe in the right to be and love whoever you want, freely. I believe in sustainability over excess, art over algorithms, and that animals deserve far better than they get. I believe that kindness isn’t weakness, that sensitivity is a strength, and that the world would be a better place if people allowed themselves to feel more. I gravitate toward depth, honesty, and self-expression, and run at full speed from anything (and anyone) that aims to dulls individuality.
I grew up in the countryside and have always felt more at home in nature than anywhere else. But I also love the raw energy of the city - the unexpected light, the creative pulse, the stories happening everywhere at once. I’ve spent my life chasing beauty in all its forms, but never in the way we’re told it should look. To me, beauty is depth, expression, and the courage to be fully yourself. That’s the energy I bring to everything I do, including your wedding.
I’ll be there with my camera, absorbing every moment, watching how you move together, how your people love you, and making sure you have photos that aren’t just beautiful, but alive with meaning.
“Kitty was the main inspiration for our wedding day.
Shortly after getting engaged, I stumbled upon a photo of hers on the Rock My Wedding Pinterest.
From this one image, I fell in love with Anran, the use of pastel flowers mixed with dried flowers, and her photography and editing. Her style just made the finishing details POP on the photo.
From that Pin, we found our dream photographer, venue, and some of our styling inspiration, all in one image. Thank you, Kitty!”
