Wild and Free By Shan Lee
OVERVIEW
Your wedding day is one of the most significant and emotional chapters in your story and it deserves to be captured with intention, honesty, and care. I specialise in soulful, documentary-style wedding photography with a refined, luxury finish. I’m here to preserve not just how your day looked, but how it felt, the quiet in-between moments, the joyful chaos, the deep belly laughs, and everything in between.
Based in a small beautiful southwest town of Western Australia and available for travel statewide and beyond, I bring a calm, grounded energy to every celebration. As a mum of two and a lifelong storyteller, I know how quickly time passes and I don’t take lightly the honour of documenting moments you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
What You Can Expect
Investment
Wedding photography packages start from $3,000, with most couples investing between $3,800–$6500 for full-day coverage, albums, and extras. Elopement packages available upon enquiry. Every love story is different and your wedding photos should reflect you, not a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why I take the time to truly connect with each couple, understand your vibe, and create a relaxed, enjoyable experience from start to finish. My goal is for you to look back at your gallery and feel everything all over again.
If you’re dreaming of photography that’s intentional, emotional, and effortlessly beautiful let’s start the conversation. I’d love to hear all about your plans and be part of your day x

FAQ
My style is documentary meets editorial relaxed, emotional, and beautifully real. I focus on storytelling, capturing the natural flow of your day with gentle direction for portraits when needed. Expect timeless, true-to-life tones with a soft, luxury finish. I don't focus on a heavily put together timeline, I like to document the day as it unfolds.
Absolutely! I’m based in WA but love to travel across Australia and beyond. Travel fees may apply depending on the location, get in touch with your plans and I’ll provide a custom quote.
Of course! I love to connect with couples before locking things in either in person, over Zoom, or on a phone call. It’s a great chance to chat about your vision and see if we’re the right fit.
A second photographer is available upon request, and I recommend it for weddings with large guest lists, split prep locations, or when you want extra coverage. We can chat about whether it's right for your day.
To secure your date, I require a signed contract and a 40% deposit. The remaining balance is due 4 weeks before your wedding. Once that’s locked in, I’m all yours!
WE DANCE IN IT. But no seriously, I’m all about embracing the realness of your day, rain, wind, or shine. I always come prepared with backup plans and a calm, go-with-the-flow approach. Some of the most magical moments happen in the unexpected.
Absolutely. Love is love, and it’s an honour to document all kinds of couples, stories, and traditions. Every wedding is unique, and I treat it with the respect, care, and attention it deserves.
I recommend booking 12–18 months in advance for peak seasons (especially Summer Weddings). Dates fill quickly, and I only take on a limited number of weddings per year to give each couple my full energy and attention.
Yes! Engagement sessions are a beautiful way to get comfortable in front of the camera and celebrate this chapter of your journey together. They’re available as add-ons or included in some of my packages.
