So, 6 months ago I got a group of my VERY close friends together and told them to clear all plans because we were going to DC together to celebrate the beginning of my chapter 28. On the last day I told them that we were having a photo shoot with a certain type of fabric and any colored heel they preferred (it HAD to be that fabric and a heel...my only request lol). I automatically knew who I needed to contact because ummmm...duh! He's one of my favorite friends made at ODU and I had been following his work since forever and he always makes me feel like a celebrity at homecoming . From the beginning Shane was professional! Although I know him on a personal level, i made sure to let him know to treat me like a new client, instead of his favorite Lady Sigma (he probably won't agree to that but I'm claiming that title so it's whatever ‍). It seemed like we were out in the sun for AGES but he didn't complain one bit, even though he was surrounded by 6 women in the blazing heat! Lol. Not even a week later (brownie points!) the photos were ready for review and we ALL loved them!! A comment was made by one of my friends and the PERFECT Christmas present (yes 5 months early ) came to mind! I told Shane then but told him not to rush since we had some time. November came and I sent out a reminder (because honestly i had forgotten myself ‍) and he jumped right on it! The books cames to me a week earlier than planned so i was left holding in the secret of the best Christmas present to my friends . But the looks on every last single one of their faces (i had to FT one because i was already in Aruba and she got her's in the mail and the other one opened her's without me on FT but told me her reaction) when they saw the book brought me to tears every time and it made the wait worth it. So, all of that to say...THANK YOU TREMENDOUSLY Shane Redman / Cornerstone Captures for an AMAZING photo shoot! Thank you for taking all of my ideas and making them a reality! You will FOREVER be MY photographer!!! read more

Used Cornerstone Captures for my wedding July 16, 2016 in Richmond, VA. OMG.. I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I was with this company. I actually, at the last minute, decided to change from a photographer that a friend had recommended because she just didn't seem very professional (Luckily she didn't want us to sign a contract so that was pretty easy...also scary). I had fallen in love with the photos on the Cornerstone Captures website and thankfully Shane worked our wedding in during the busy wedding season. I think what impressed me the most is that you could tell that Shane was someone who was passionate about photography and his business. Not only were our wedding photos GORGEOUS (even though it rained and it was dreadfully hot, cloudy and muggy that day), but he and his associate Tyrone of Alchemist Photography were so much fun throughout the entire night!! It really helped to lighten a stressful day. BEST. DECISION. EVER!! Thank you guys so much! May your businesses be blessed!! ^_^ read more

If you're looking for a photographer that is professional, fun, easy to work with, and can make you look better on your special day than you could ever dream, choose Cornerstone Captures. Shane was amazing. He met with us before the events and prepped on exactly how everything was going to work so we knew what we were getting ourselves into, to include the flow of photography, setup options, and prices. On both the day of our invitation shoot and the the wedding day we had inclement weather and still everything went off without a hitch. One would not even be able to tell there was bad weather from out photos. Shane was very hands on with both the male and female side of the wedding pictures and helped to uplift the moral of the wedding tremendously. All in all Cornerstone Captures captured our hearts and if available we'll be using the company for as many events as possible. Go check out our pictures on his website. -Fludd read more

I hired Shane Redman to take photos for my husband's 75th Birthday Party. Shane was wonderful in every way! He communicated well to outline details for the shoot; he arrived on time and took a large amount of pictures which turned out beautifully; he provided an online link to the digital photos so I could send to my guests, and when I ordered prints, they came quickly and looked gorgeous! Shane was unobtrusive in taking pictures, but also sweet and friendly to our guests. When guests approached Shane to take a picture, he complied immediately and made them feel comfortable. The pictures we received captured the spirit and energy of our event. The value of hiring a professional photographer to honor and record the experience you've spent so much time in planning is undeniable! Don't hesitate in hiring Shane Redman/Cornerstone Captures--you won't be sorry! read more

I hired Shane to do a Halloween shoot at a bonfire at the recommendation of one of his other clients and he did not disappoint. He was wonderful to work with right from the initial consultation, up to the actual shoot. He arrived early to stake out the location and was well prepared for the night time shoot. I tend to be camera shy, but I felt very comfortable with him and my other guests were impressed with his direction on poses (he's also very knowledgeable on anime and comic book characters, so definitely hit him up for your cosplay shoots). We all also loved the candids he took. We got the photos back in record time - he knew he would be traveling for another shoot, so he got our photos back to us *earlier* than his promised date rather than later. In summary, I have a dope photographer now and am already planning the next shoot. read more

Where do I start, professionally, flexible, resourceful, engaging, experienced and passionate about what he does! Shane captured a part of my life I could never really see. Having my son at 14 I thought I failed at so many things....but the second I got those pictures back of my son's senior portrait session, I saw it!! I saw how I defeated every obstacle placed infront of us and this camera man brought it to light! I was speechless so I couldnt text or call I had to phone him and verbally thank him for a wonderful job with the pictures. I would recommend his services to anyone. Shane see you in 4 years at Jakes College graduation! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart! Yolanda&Jake read more

We've used Cornerstone Captures for our family portraits two years in a row and have been extremely satisfied. Shane was very accommodating in terms of scheduling and especially flexible with changes due to weather not cooperating. He is a joy to work with and made the experience a lot of fun! He works great with large groups including children and pets. My daughter has special needs and he was very patient, understanding, and made lots of funny noises to make her smile. Our photos turned out gorgeous and were very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend Cornerstone Captures for your photography needs. read more

On September 4, 2016 I booked Cornerstone Captures for my mother's wedding. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Shane and Tyrone were very professional and friendly. Considering I have a somewhat unruly family with kids and everyone ALLL over the place, they did a great job capturing our crazy moments and made being photographed comfortable (as I have some camera shy folks). In addition to their professionalism, they blend in so well, when it's over they feel like extended family. Great prices, great quality, great people! Book them for your next event, you WON'T be disappointed! read more

Shane has became my favorite photographer! He took pictures of my son's first birthday (my first and only child) and captured so many great moments that I got more emotional looking at the pictures than I was at the actual party. The edits of the photos brought so much life into the photos. He was on time, was able to give me the pictures within a week after the party (I've had to hunt down pictures from previous photographers), and he has such a great personality he was a great pleasure to work with. You need a photographer do not second guess when it comes to booking Shane. JUST DO IT! read more

Shane provided photography services for our non-profit event in September of 2016. Shane's professionalism, quality of work and great personality make him a complete pleasure to work with. We had an extremely quick turnaround on photos and what he was able to capture was incredible. He also added some personal touch-ups that made the outcome of the gallery above and beyond. I cannot recommend Shane enough and I look forward to working with him again in the future! read more

First and foremost, the worrying you may have for getting the pictures that you want and angles you want to achieve, he reduces that worrying by 100%. If you send reference pictures and tell him exactly what you want from the shoot, it is achieved! Also, if you're going into this without any experience (like myself) locations, ideas, and suggestions he provides are spot on and are places you didn't know you needed. Trust his suggestions, you won't regret it. read more

I have known Shane for YEARS, and Shane has taken MANY pictures of my family over since he began in both events and family sessions. He is professional and committed to what he does. We love Shane's outgoing personality; it's a plus when working an event and working with children. He definitely knows how to work a crowd, and he has the eye for the perfect moments for photographs. Choose Cornerstone Captures for your photography needs! read more

I have worked with Shane throughout my entire engagement/wedding process. He has done 3 separate shoots for us and never ceases to amaze me! He is everything you could ask for in a photographer, fun, friendly, flexible, creative, and always professional. He is willing to go above and beyond, he even came out to the Dominican Republic to shoot our destination wedding! He will not disappoint you! Book him ASAP. read more

I have been going to Cornerstone Captures since 2020 and Shane is the only photographer I contact since! Tell him what you want, and even if you aren't able to get it out completely in words, he fills in those gaps for you. He takes what you want to get done seriously. Send him a reference photo, and it's going to be exactly what you want. He's worth it! read more

I cannot send enough praises to Cornerstone Captures. I've done three photoshoots with Shane, all very different (professional headshots, lifestyle & family and shots). Before the shoot, Shane would listen to my ideas and vision and brought it all to life. Shane is very professional, on time, and very creative, making sure I always got the money shot. read more

Shane did an absolutely AMAZING job with my son's graduation photoshoot! We were in the blistering sun at the national mall and he was still able to capture such powerful images. He was extremely patient with our antics lol and my children's complaints about the heat. Book him! You won't be disappointed! read more

Shane volunteered his time at our non-profit event and was AMAZING. He was professional, fun, and most of all did a great job. He turned around the pictures quickly and expertly captured some still life pictures of the event decor as well as candids of the group throughout the night. Great job! read more
