Shane was our photographer for our engagement photos and our wedding. He is professional, easy going and SO fun to work with. He made everything so easy for us and really made us feel comfortable. His work is absolutely amazing and you can tell he has a passion for photography because it comes out in all of his pictures. We constantly get compliments on all of our photos and are planning on asking him to shoot future pregnancy and family portraits. I would recommend Shane to anyone looking for truly great photos for any occasion!! We love Shane and Apple Tree Studios!! Thank you for making our wedding journey so wonderful :)

Shane was an absolute pleasure, we cannot stress enough about how happy we are to have had him as our wedding photographer. He is very professional, patient and kind. He truly cares about his work and our pictures are proof. He is such a talented photographer, and we will definitely be using him again in the future for all of our photography needs. As a bride, I could not have found a more reliable and wonderful photographer! He made everything so special, thank you Shane! Angela & Rodney Colbert

When you tell people "we are getting married at the zoo" you get a lot of weird looks from both guests and vendors. However when my fiance and I met with Shane he was just as excited as we were :)

When planning our wedding I was on wedding wire practically every day looking at reviews. One of the hardest things for me was picking out a wedding photographer. I wanted to make sure that my photographer, was professional, approachable, experienced, and understanded that while traditional photos were important to our families (especially our moms), my fiance and I were willing to take some chances to get some really cool photos as well.

Shane and Abby were everything we could have asked for and more! Our guests loved them and were amazing with how many camera they brought (and used!). From the candid shots, to the traditional family shots, to the posed funny shots Apple Tree Studios captured our wedding and our loved ones perfectly.

The best thing I can recommend to any of the brides reading this is book Shane and Abby now. The price we paid was less than half of what they are worth (shhh dont tell them!)

The icing on the cake: The pictures that Abby and Shane took of our wedding were so remarkable that our venue is using them in their ad in Baltimore Bride!

Shane from Apple Tree Studios did a phenomenal job with my wedding videography! He was very professional and efficient, I hardly noticed he was there, but he didn't miss a thing! He was very responsive to my emails and easy to work with, I highly recommend this company.
Also I had my fancy little wedding DVD mailed to me within the month! I am so glad that I decided to have a videographer at the wedding, I have already re-watched our wedding day a few dozen times. And I am ESPECIALLY glad that I had the fortune of choosing THIS company in specific. All around great job! :)

After receiving my pictures just a week ago, I would highly recommend Shane and the Apple Tree Studios to any bride. When looking for a photographer, my husband and I did not want the extra glitz of an engagement session, slideshow, prints, etc. We wanted a photographer who would tell the story of our day and take some really nice photos. Apple Tree Studios had the perfect package for us. It included 9 hours of photography and then we would get the edited pictures on a disk at the end. I have heard of other photographers who make you pay several hundreds of dollars extra for the rights to the pictures, but with Apple Tree Studios, it is included in the package. (There are several other packages that you can add on an engagement sessions, etc.). Shane was a pleasure to work with as well as a very creative and fun photographer. He was there for every moment, yet he was out of the way as to not disturb the events of the day. Also, my husband and I are not the most photogenic people. Shane understood this and told our story with some posed pictures, but also with many action shots so we would not have to worry about how we looked or trying to stage a picture. He was prompt and on-time to the venue and captured every moment of my wedding. He also was very good about working with us to get all of the group shots we wanted and went around the cocktail hour with my parents to take some other more casual group pictures. He even directed us for some outside pictures for just the bridal party and captured some fun moments of opening a bottle of champagne in front of the limo which may not have been documented through picture if it were not for Shane. For a girl who does not like getting her picture taken, I definitely have some amazing photos of my wedding day that I will always cherish. I also have received many compliments on my wedding photographer and pictures during the wedding and afterwards.

I contracted with Apple Studios (AS) about 7 months before my wedding. My then fiance and I met with Shane at my house after meeting 2 other photography vendors and he was exactly what we were looking for. He was flexible with his packages and very professional, and affordable compared to some of the ridiculous prices we heard.

As my wedding date grew closer, I emailed Shane to keep him up to date on what was going on. He was always responsive and kept our minds at ease.

On the wedding day, Shane was there on time and ready to go with every detail imaginable. Not to mention, I've never seen someone so pationate about his craft. And it showed in the end result.

About 3 weeks after my wedding, we received the stunning pictures captured in color, black n white etc. There were so many pics that I took forever trying to narrow it down to the ones I wanted to share with my guests. It told the story of how beautiful my wedding was and those who didn't attend could see that just from the pictures. One guest even said those were the best she'd seen from a wedding and she'd been to many weddings.

In all I was 100% pleased with Shane. I'd recommend him time and time again.

Our photographer provided the best quality, we absolutely loved working with them. Our photos were not only amazing, but back to us faster than we ever expected. We couldn't be happier with the results.

Shane and Abby Cleminson captured our wedding day through excellent photography and attentive videography! We are so impressed and so grateful for all of their hard work and attention to detail. The video editing was masterfully done. The picture poses they had us do were very special. We have a few shots that Shane caught that he could not have timed any better. They were friendly and fun with all of our guests and were easily able to make people smile for pictures as well. We would give them 6 out of 5 stars if it was possible and we highly recommend their services!

Wow! My wife and I could not be happier as we look back on the pictures of our wedding day. Of all the things a couple worry about on the day of their wedding, it was so relaxing to know that the photography was not going to be a concern. Both Shane and Abby acted with utmost professionalism, were responsive to our questions, and filled us with confidence. We couldn't rate Apple Tree more highly.

Vendor recommendation from From Yes to I Do

Shane's eye for the beauty and magic that make a wedding is uncanny. It's like he felt the moments before they even occurred. My clients were pleased, magical moments were captured and he enjoyed himself as well. A great vendor to work with.
