I’ve been a full time videographer for over 11 years. Born and raised in Utah, currently in Salt Lake City. Filming videos full time, petting cats part time. Espresso enthusiast. Scorpio. Plant mom. Turquoise collector. In love with the desert. Trying to visit as much of the world as I can.

Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and happy to travel anywhere & everywhere with you. Capturing elopements, music videos, weddings, commercials, or your Tuesday night.

I’m here to document, to notice, to catch the moments in-between. To translate your life into something tangible, that you can rewatch over and over again.

FAQs

My shooting style is very laid back, I'm not the one who is going to put you in stiff poses and make you hold still. My job is to document, not direct. I want you to feel natural, carefree, and like yourself. However, I will give you prompts for what to do if you're feeling lost! I can be as involved or invisible as you'd like me to be - whether you prefer having some direction or you just want me to capture things as they unfold.
Yes! I have pricing guidelines but they are totally customizable based on your specific wants and needs. As long or as little as you want me to be there, I'm there! My pricing is not based off of hours, it's priced per event. This way we don't miss anything at the end of the day that helps tell the story. Email me about your event and we can create the perfect package for you.
Yes! You can book me for video only, or both photo and video together. I have a number of trusty assistants to come help out, making sure we get all the angles! *Keep in mind, I only offer photography as an add-on to video for a wedding day, but offer photo by itself for any type of portraits or sessions before/after the wedding!
Copyright laws can get tricky, so normally I license all the music I use. However, if you have a certain song you'd like me to look for, or choose something similar to, please send it my way! You are also welcomed to browse the licensing website and pick something out. For social media cuts, there is a whole section of music we are allowed to use as well. The music is one of the most important parts of a video! - so I try to choose songs that align with the style and vibe I've established in my brand. None of that dumb cheesy stuff (only cheesy in a good way hehe)

“Shey Allen is an incredibly talented teller of stories in both moving and still imagery. I feel so honored to partner with her on this incredible project. I feel every time like I can just wander into the wilderness with her, tell her very little and come out the other end astonished at how well she understands my heart. She's probably more wild than I am. At least, I know we had similar childhoods in the dirt.”
Shey became an integral part of my wedding day in such a way that I couldn't imagine my wedding without her. She is extremely talented and professional, but it mostly felt like having a friend around. I feel completely indebted to her because of what she gave us as a wedding video. I still can't believe we have something like this to remember that weekend. Even though our wedding was over a year and a half ago, I still watch the video a few times a week, laugh and cry and feel all the emotions I had during that weekend. That's all I could ever ask for. Not only is it an amazing memory of our wedding, but as an art piece it's insanely beautiful. There aren't enough words to describe how happy and thankful we are. Thank you, Shey! I'm gonna go watch our wedding video and cry now...
SHEY .. I WANT TO REACH THROUGH MY COMPUTER AND HUG YOU.
I looooooooooooooooooooooove these photographs. You are an artist and a legend. I was SO GIDDY to show them to the first two companies; they were speechless. They gushed and gushed. It was a delight to see all the scenes and elements that you captured. The detail and artistry and angles and lighting and focus simply left us speechless with grins on our faces. Exquisite detail.
I am SO proud of the business you’ve built and the talent you have. Thank you for sharing it with me and my clients.
