About Dear Heart Film + Portraits
Shelby Hunter
I created Dear Heart Film + Portraits in college when I realized just how much I love photographing other people. It started with fun-loving seniors and now has developed into capturing adventurous couples who are so unashamedly in love.
From the day we sign our contract, we're a team and I'll be there for you with whatever you need. I help with creating your timeline, providing location and outfit guidance for your engagement shoot, and answering any questions you have along the way.

The BEST photographer
Shelby (Dear Heart Film Portraits) was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, we were struck by her friendly, personable, and fun personality. Shelby's sweet, calming nature was so amazing in helping my husband and I feel relaxed and present on our wedding day. Weddings can be chaotic, but Shelby brought an energy that slowed everything down and made taking photos fun and easy. She even went above and beyond to help the groomsmen with their boutonnieres when no one else knew how. Shelby is truly a wonderful, talented person, and her work is simply stunning, she captured our special day in the most beautiful way. All of our guests loved her too, they kept telling us how impressed they were with her. We're so grateful we found Dear Heart Film Portraits and would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing photographer.
Shelby is the Best!
If you want authentic, beautiful photos done by someone who truly cares about what she does, Shelby is the one you want! From the moment we set up our first call with us it was clear that she really wanted to get to know what makes my husband and I, us. This lead to some amazing photos for both our engagement and wedding. She was so efficient through out the whole process and her timeline was flawless. I can not recommend her enough! I can't wait to get back our wedding video because I know that it will be just as amazing as our photos.
The Photographer Every Couple Dreams Of
We were worried we wouldn’t be able to find a photographer who could capture everything we wanted and truly fit our needs. Then we found Shelby—and from that moment on, every worry disappeared. We cannot recommend Shelby highly enough for all your wedding photography needs. From the very beginning, she stood out—not just for her stunning work we first saw on Instagram, but for the connection she built with us right after our initial call. We knew instantly we had found our photographer. Shelby’s meticulous planning, sharp attention to detail, and vibrant, fun energy made the entire experience an absolute joy from start to finish. She went above and beyond, not only capturing breathtaking images of our wedding day but also taking the time to truly get to know us as a couple. Our engagement shoot was the perfect warm-up. Meeting Shelby beforehand, getting comfortable in front of the camera, and building that trust meant that on our wedding day, it didn’t feel like we were meeting a vendor—it felt like we were welcoming a friend. On the big day itself, Shelby, her assistant, and her videographer were a dream team: professional, punctual, proactive, and seamless in their coordination. They helped everything flow effortlessly, and we both agreed they were hands down our favorite vendors to work with. The photos speak for themselves, but beyond that, Shelby gave us an experience we’ll never forget. My wife and I kept saying how incredibly lucky we were to have her as our photographer. If you’re searching for someone who will deliver jaw-dropping photos while making the process fun, stress-free, and deeply personal, Shelby is the one.
Photographer review
Shelby did such an amazing job! She truly made our vision come to life! It was fun to do an engagement shoot first to get comfortable with her and just practice taking formal pictures but she made it so easy! She was super communicative and organized throughout the whole process. Her photos are super natural looking and not overdone but still so pretty!
