We specialize in authentic storytelling, capturing memories & moments so genuine and vivid, you'll want to relive them over and over again.
We're Paul & Katie McPherson, owners / founders of Shutterfreek® We're truly best friends and have been married 16+ years. We started the Shutterfreek® brand in 2009. We have 3 amazing kids (Nora, Kayl, Asa), 1 golden doodle (Millie), 1 bearded dragon (Rex) & 1 hedgehog (Dart).
As our kids have grown we've decided to take more time from our summers back and are doing less weddings & elopements (only about 20'ish a year). We have diversified our focus and now spend the majority of our time creating lifestyle content for commercial brands. (But we will always live to tell love stories.)
As long as we have a camera in hand and are doing some type of story telling that is lifestyle, the human connection or adventure based content... we're happy campers. ⛺️
We’re passionate travelers and ready to shoot anywhere for adventure, but our base is right in the heart of the Southwest. From our backyard we have access to the most breathtaking locations within a 300-mile radius.

We wish we had the luxury for anything to be “good enough.” But we don’t. We're driven to continue in growth and development. We truly want to be the most competent love storyteller's we can possibly be.
Whether you're dreaming of an Adventure Elopement or envisioning a wedding surrounded by loved ones, we aim to make the process seamless and stress-free. Adding a touch of adventure to your special day is always a great choice.
Working with our husband-and-wife duo brings unmatched experience to your event. With nearly 1,000 events under our belt, we have expertise in building and coordinating timelines that often surpasses most planners. As a team, Katie and I capture both photo and video, providing a comprehensive final product that typically requires a full team. While you can hire just one of us, having both of us ensures a superior result.
Whether you're planning a traditional wedding or an adventurous elopement, adding a touch of adventure to your day will be unforgettable. Our goal is to help you infuse some epic experiences—be it a morning hike, hot springs, ATV ride, horseback riding, ballooning, or rafting. Embrace adventure on your wedding day for the best memories and photos.
YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED! This day should be all about you. We've seen too many weddings focus on food and drinks rather than the couple. Big weddings can blur together, leaving couples eager to see the photos. Adventure-focused weddings, however, keep the day centered on you. Don’t worry—we’re here to help.
Our fondest memories are rooted in our most epic experiences. Capturing the process, the relationships & the surroundings bring to life our sole expression... "Make Adventure Your Tradition."
Where will your story take place? The location or venue you are choosing becomes the canvas for your story. We recommmend thinking more about the landscape vs. the specific location. Do you want mountains, desert, water, a combination, etc.
We love helping couples figure out the perfect place to tie the knot!
