Kendra & Robert

Kendra & Robert were married this past November 22, 2008 in Glen St. Mary's Manntowne Congregational Holiness Church. As you can see one of Jacksonville's premiere wedding photographers was on the scene to capture the event! These stunning images were created by our own portrait artist Scott Beahan of Shutterly Perfect Portraiture located in Jacksonville Florida. Although the event was small (under 100 guest) the brides main concern was to have beautiful images to remember it by. Choosing the right photographer to capture the event was the utmost importance to the bride, not just someone who could take a picture, but a person who feels it for the art it is. Choosing a wedding photographer in Jacksonville is a daunting task to say the least. It seems that everyone with a little bankroll has bought a camera and jumped in the mix. With all of that in mind take another look at these images and see them for what they really are, an expression of the love two people have for each other placed on display through the eye and heart of an artist.

Level of professionalism?

I hope this isn't your photographer or any one else you know. Please be a good friend and tell the people you know where they can get a professional portrait done. Tell them about Shutterly Perfect. You would not choose a surgeon who is only doing surgery because they like to cut people open would you? NO you want someone who is a professional and knows what they are doing. Someone who has the knowledge and talent to cut you open and sew you back up after performing the proper procedure. Then invest in the best portrait possible and tell your friends who are settling for second best to give us a call. Below is a sample of what some people are going to get this Christmas season. Someone who is "taking your picture" who isn't even required to have experience in photography. Ahhhh! Oy Vey!

This was a job posting I found on Craig's List Jacksonville.

Kari & Michael Jacksonville Wedding Photography

Kari & Michael were married Sat Oct 18, 2008 at the Hilltop Club in Orange Park Fl. Family and friends gathered to see the couple united and enjoyed a beautiful reception afterwards. The day was light and breezy which was a comfortable change to the recent warmer weather. The whole wedding was just one of those events that ran smooth from beginning to end. Everyone had a great time together, and why not, it all centered around a great couple.

Jacksonville Children Photography

Don't you wish they would all smile like this? Especially at such a young age. That is one of the things I love about being a portrait artist, every once in a while you have the "dream shoot" where it just isn't work, it's all play and such a fulfilling experience. This little cutie caught me just at the right time of day, after my mid-day nap and feeding. I woke up happy and ready to create some incredible portraits and she was up to the task. She posed and I clicked. It was a great time.

Leah Senior-2009

The NEW Jacksonville Urban Shoot is now on the menu at Shutterly Perfect Portraiture. Leah was our first senior to push the (city) "Limit" and take her senior portraits to the streets of downtown Jacksonville. Here are a few images from her shoot. Leah is a home school student and a cheerleader at West Nassau.

Ava's Newborn Portraits

I had the pleasure of photographing miss Ava Elisabeth yesterday! Born September 5, 2008 to Stephanie & Adam. During their session mom & dad were both gleaming like they had won the grand prize, which of course paled in comparison to receiving their gift of a little baby girl.

They are so little when they first come home from the hospitial. Isn't she so cute you could just hug her up. Ahh and that new baby smell!

Joanna & Jackson Engagement at the Beach

Well the morning started a little rough for us all but as you can see the results are great.

Here's the whole story-I contact Joanna & Jackson at our meeting time of 6:45 am and they were running about 15 min late, (not a catastrophe). They get to the park and I give them their early entry passes and we drive to the the gate. Well the pricing just doubled since I had been there two weeks ago and I only had 5 tickets and needed six. After about 10 minutes of groveling and begging and explaining that I was just one ticket short the poor man finally has mercy on me and lets us in. (Don't tell anyone) (Oh yeah and the sunrise is growing closer). We head down the road only to find that the gate is locked! (should have been opened at 6am). We talk about what would be best to do then I jet off to find someone to open the gate. We get the gate opened and rush down to the beach to find the sun peeking above the horizon then fly into a frenzy of creating portraits. I can't remember the last time I worked so fast. We get the sunrise portraits done and the rest praise God was cake! I can't say enough about Joanna & Jackson, they were great to be with and had a can-do attitude. Their story started at 3am this morning. I am relaying only my version of the day.

Anyway, I photographed Joanna's sister Misty's wedding six years ago and have had a great re pore with the family ever since. I met Jackson today, what a great guy, Joanna nabbed him up before anyone else could get him! They make a great couple, and fantastic portraits! Don't they just go together!?

Melissa & Elih Engagement

What a terrible morning as far as weather goes! Melissa & Elih came in from Tallahassee to have sunrise pictures for their engagement session and what do you know, rain. Do you know how often it rains in the morning here in Jacksonville? Not often, it just had to land on our day. Despite the odds we dodged in and out of the rain to create some beautiful portraits (even though no sunrise). You can definitely tell these two are in love, the weather didn't even phase them, they had a great time just being together on the beach.

"Overall" Cute

It doesn't take much to be cute, just a pair of beautiful blue eyes, blond hair, and a set of denim overalls. Oh yeah! a little streak of mischievousness doesn't hurt the portrait either. These images from one of Jacksonville's premier children's photographer Shutterly Perfect show just how much fun you can have in just a matter of minutes. Shutterly Perfects outdoor studio makes an excellent backdrop for a beautiful portrait of your child. The natural surroundings add a pleasant soft feel to your portrait unlike the fake cheap backgrounds of other studios. There is no substitute for the real thing.

Steffani Senior Portraits

Steffani is an extremely talented and artistic person. She plays the harp, violin, piano, and I'm not sure what else! To be able to show some one's artistic side through my artistry of portraiture was a great challenge for for me. We had a great time together that day. Her harp is an antique and I saw a "shark fin" in it so we laid it (carefully) on it's side and shot an image that I added a little bit of post camera artistry to and came up with the first shot posted here entitled "Shallow Water". I thought it was "way cool". She defiantly has the only senior session here in Jacksonville with a "shark" in it.

I Had a Visitor Yesterday

Sometimes you have to take a minute! I like to try to enjoy the little things in God's creation as well as the big ones. Have you ever tried to photograph a Lady Bug? Don't try this at home! What a challenge but how rewarding. We all love them..there so cute and red and have tiny little antenna's. Here are a few of the images I created while enjoying the visit! I'm sure she was thinking "alien abduction" after I released her back into the bushes.

The Pellums

While visiting St. George Island FL this past August I had the privilege of visiting with Morgan & Alan Pellum and their new little boy. I photographed their wedding here in Jacksonville in May of 2005 and since then they have moved to Kentucky and had this "little" bundle of joy. I was delighted to create these images for them and hope they will bring them even more joy when they look back after the years and see he is not so little any more. I also look forward to photographing their next child! No I don't have any information that you don't. I just have the feeling that Morgan and Alan love being parents and why stop at one? I'm just guessing that there will be more to come! Maybe a girl this time.......no rush.

Mindy's Maternity Testamonial

"I have been modeling professionally for many years and have had the opportunity to shoot with several different photographers. Scott by far is one of the best to work with. His photos are captivating, breathtaking and always seems to blow me away. He is a true artist and that reflects in his photography. I selected Shutterly Perfect for my wedding photographer, and now to create my maternity portraits. I will continue to use him for my most important portrait needs."

Mallory & Blake's Wedding

Mallory & Blake were married on July 26th but not without incident!
The night before at about three in the morning Blake's car was stolen out of his driveway along with his uniform, shoes, cell phone, and other belongings that he would need on his wedding day. After a mad dash of shopping "on the wedding day" he arrived and put it all behind him and was ready too make the commitment of a lifetime. Nothing would keep him from marrying the girl of his dreams on that day, not even the pending afternoon thunder storm which threatened their outdoor wedding. Well sure enough it rolled in before the wedding so what did Blake do? Stripped off his jacket rolled up his sleeves and along with the other willing participants dried off 150 guest chairs and moved them to higher ground. The rain stopped, the bride was beautiful, the groom was smiling, and the wedding went on! The Power of Love!
