Hey I’m Ruby
My name is Shannon Jolley - nickname Ruby - owner of Ruby Photography. I started taking photos when I was in 6th grade on my flip phone, and never looked back since. I'm currently living in Greensboro, NC with my husband and pet bird and we are loving it.
Here are some things to know about me:
My favorite color is green.
I did gymnastics as a kid for 8 years.
I LOVE photography but what I love more is capturing memories. So, this means that sometimes I deliver an imperfect photo because the memory is too perfect to not deliver.
My favorite season is fall and spring. I can't decide which one I like better!
A goal of mine is to shoot a wedding in every state!
One of my even bigger personal goals is to have a photoshoot on every continent, so let me know if you need a wedding photographer abroad!
One of my favorite things is becoming friends with my clients so shoot me a message and let me know some fun things I can know about you too. ♡
My Beginnings
When people ask me how long I've been doing photography, it's a bit of a head-scratcher. The photo bug hit me hard when I got my first iPhone as a teenager—I went snap-happy, capturing every bit of life with my fam and friends. Fast forward to high school, I scrounged up enough cash to buy my first real camera, and I haven't put it down since!
Photography started as a personal passion, but my heart has always been in serving people. Then it hit me—I could mash up my two loves. That's why I love shooting elopements and weddings. I get to serve people on their big day, letting them soak it all in while I handle the memory-making.
The highlight of any wedding or elopement? It's not just getting epic shots—it's becoming friends with the bride and groom. I love being the one to freeze those special moments for my friends. Every client is a VIP in my book, and I'm stoked about all the new friends I'll make this year <3
My family
When I'm not photographing weddings and elopements, I'm spending time with my husband and pet bird ♡ If you ask, I'll send you some pictures of my trouble-maker bird!
