When we meet you’ll soon forget that we’re just meeting for the first time. Connecting with people on a personal level is my forte. How else would I make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera? 

Our conversation begins the moment we meet and continues throughout the session. We get rid of the awkwardness right off the bat. Natural, true to life, in-the-moment photos are what we specialize in. 

We love seeing grooms with tears in their eyes when they see their beautiful bride, we love seeing the pure joy on your family’s faces when you’re pronounced MARRIED!!!! So many special occasions that we have the opportunity to relive through beautiful images. Those are the moments that remind me what I was put on this earth for. 

I started my photographer journey back in 2012 as an Advertising & Design student at Concord University. My yearbook instructor tasked me with taking photos for the yearbook. I fell in love. I got a business license at the age of 21 and started as a Wedding Photography Intern that year. Photography became my life source from then on. I worked at a well known Advertising Agency for 4 years before leaving to pursue my photography dreams full time. That’s been several years ago and now the dream just keeps getting bigger.

I could tell you more about my story, but truthfully you already know it. You’ve seen the photos all around my website. They are all a reflection of me and I’m present in every single one, I’m just a bit outside of the frame :)

I’m telling a story that’s unfolding each and every day. Let’s start telling YOUR story through beautiful photographs. Get in Touch 


Jake Hanson

Videographer + Photographer + Branding

Jake has been part of the SPDP team since the summer of 2021. What began as an assistant position quickly grew to a full time video/photo position when we realized he had such natural talent.

Jake runs our partner company Cyber Wolf Digital Media, and handles all of our Wedding Films here at SPDP! Jake specializes in capturing cinematic-quality wedding films and branding videos for small businesses. We work together as a team to make sure each occasion is captured with the care and love each couple and business deserves.

Jake and I (Sheena) are not only business partners, but also life partners. When we’re not out shooting your insanely beautiful faces, you can find us hiking in the WV mountains, in the kitchen cooking, at home tending to our cats/goats/turtles/doodle, or playing video games in our PJs.

For weddings and events we are your ultimate Photo & Film duo.

Our Why

We believe that your beautiful images deserve to exist in the real world, not just on your phone or on a flash drive. Every image purchased as a print also comes with a matching digital file for you to share as you please. We love to be able to provide both.

We love giving our clients the experience of walking into a warm and welcoming environment where they can feel free to be themselves. We often hear our clients say how they appreciate the way we make them feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.

We’d love to be your go-to photographer. Contact Us today.
