Be "Perfectly Imperfect" ... Your Authentic Love Story
My name is Shaya Oliver Hunt and I am an Orlando Florida based Elopement and Wedding Photographer. I grew up mainly in Pennsylvania (Blue Bell PA) and Florida (Saint Augustine FL) and moved to Orlando in 2016. I graduated from the University of Central Florida and studied Photography. I live in Maitland now with my husband Jimmy and two fluffy little yorkies named Lily and Tripp.
My biggest passion in life is making people happy through my art and storytelling. I have always loved to document things and take photographs, as I am a very nostalgic and sentimental person with my own personal photographs. Cherishing every moment or era of my life and seeing how far I’ve come and how lucky I am to have experienced special memories.
your Photographer, Shaya O
Kind Words from Sweet Clients
"Shaya was the most incredible photographer we could ever ask for. She truly made our wedding day so special and seamless. She is so organized, creative and fun to work with! I cannot say enough good things about Shaya and the quality of her work."
"Shaya and her team were flawless in their execution of capturing getting ready, the ceremony, and reception. We got to know her from the engagement shoot session and were not disappointed come wedding day. Some things that sealed the deal and why I am recommending her to all of my friends: she created and edited my day of time line, she suggested shots and details I had never thought of, she was organized and professional and made sure the things I wanted didn't get lost in the business of the day. She was simply the best!"
Shaya did both our engagement photos and wedding photos. Within 10 minutes of beginning our first shoot, we knew we had made the right choice. My now husband and I are very shy and Shaya had us laughing and loosening up almost immediately. Not only we’re we extremely comfortable with her but she also captures the love of a couple perfectly. I highly recommend using Shaya if you are looking for an easy going, encouraging, highly skilled photographer! I am forever grateful for the memories she has captured for us!"
Shaya took photos for our wedding on 8/8/23. she did such an amazing job! Shaya is very attentive to detail. She sent us a questionnaire so that she would know exactly what type of photos we wanted. Shaya made our day less stressful by also helping us with things outside of photography. i highly recommend Shaya for weddings, graduation and engagements.
She is the sweetest to work with your and helped me and my now husband to be super comfortable with posing and taking pictures especially in public. She’s extremely fun and is always positive. She’s very professional as she is quick to response. She goes the extra mile to find you different vendors and help plan out your day. She also is very polite and patient when it comes to requests. I literally cried tears of joy when I opened my galleries for the first time because I didn’t think the photos could have been anymore beautiful."
Shaya is amazing. I have no words for how perfect or wedding day was. She was able to capture everything and make the day run so smoothly. Not only that, but she’s fun! We were able to laugh and joke and just have a great day with her. I cannot recommend her enough for weddings, elopements, engagements, anything you need, she can do!!!
"Shaya is the BEST photographer!!!! So talented and so kind. She makes you feel really comfortable during the pics, it's impressive. I am so happy we chose her to be a part of our special day and I wouldn't have done it any other way!"
