Hi, I'm Shanté! My love story with photography began at an early age - Around 7 or 8, I began collecting old pictures of my family, many taken before I was even born. I loved hearing the background story behind each polaroid, featuring beloved members of my family, some of which I never got the pleasure to meet. I was mesmerized by the fact that a single image could be so meaningful, so precious, and so nostalgic. As cliché as it is, it's absolutely true - a picture really is worth a thousand words. ​ It gives me much pride to capture authentic love stories for those who believe that the greatest of these is love. ​ -Shanté

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, I moved to South Carolina in 2014, and it was the best move I have ever made. The slower paced lifestyle is definitely my jam. I have a Pitbull named Sandy who loves to play and of course eat plenty of treats. I am a huge animal lover and volunteer often at a local animal shelter taking photos to help the pups get adopted. In my free time I am baking or doing anything DIY. I love to explore new places, but I especially love the beach!

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me & my love of floral design. My deep passion for flowers began in college. I was captivated with their untouched natural beauty and had joy in creating art with them. By the time I graduated college, I ditched my accounting degree and went full time at a flower shop. It was there I grew in both my knowledge of flowers and my ability to create beautiful pieces with them. A few years later, I kick started my own business specializing in weddings. It’s a dream come true to make floral designs that will enhance all the memories made. A true honor!
