Intimate Wedding & Elopement Photographer in Calgary, Alberta

For the adventurous couples who would pick dirt roads over a traditional aisle any day.

Photoshoots that embrace your free-spirited nature.

You get sweaty palms just thinking about “posing pretty”

I don’t blame you—stiff, choreographed, or wedding-blog-worthy just isn’t your vibe. So why would you pretend it is on one of the most special days of your life?

Your love is fire-roasted steaks, belly laughs, and spontaneous camping trips. And as your Alberta elopement photographer, I’m hellbent on making sure your photos say just that. 

Let me guess…

Hi, I’m Shannon! 

Dirt-Under-My-Nails Storyteller, Chicken Wrangler & SAHM

That might sound like a lot, but I promise, it’s the perfectly chaotic recipe for your playful, low-key elopement photos. 

The only thing I love as much as my homesteading life is getting to connect with and capture the stories of other wildhearts living by their own rules.

So yeah, my camera might have a bit of dirt on it. Because real life (and emotion) doesn’t happen in banquet halls—it happens in the mess, the mud, and the mountains. And that’s exactly where I’ll meet you.

Hear me out—what if…

Your wedding photos actually reflected your wild heart and barefoot journey?

“I don’t even know where to start. I reached out to Shannon because I was immediately mesmerized by her photos. From the moment she gave me a call, I felt like I had already known her for years! She is personable, has a great sense of humour (which is the definition of our relationship), and such a bubbly human!

“Shannon captured what a magical night we had. Through the power outages, wind storm (-25 with 65km winds), she was ready to roll for pictures outside. She truly went above and beyond and my husband and I couldn’t have picked a better fit ❤️ such a memorable day. Oh and thank you for warming my hands up when I thought I got frostbite after our shoot outside lol I will never forget that”

-Nadia Strelioff

“Shannon did our engagement photos and then our wedding this past weekend. She made everything soo easy! We had compliments from our wedding party and families about how wonderful she was. She captured everything perfectly(even our engagement photos in the rain) She is fun, laid back and gave perfect directions when we all needed it. We will definitely be keeping her in contact for future family photos etc. Thank you again Shannon for being a total dream ❤️”

-Ciara Glasgow

“Shannon is one of those down-to-earth people you just want to be friends with- she’s really funny, easy going, personable and yet professional and sooo talented! I’m so thankful for the perfectly wild captured moments you took of us!

Forever grateful.”

-Elise & Matt Perrault

The “Screw The Wedding Rulebook”compatibility test

  • Your idea of romance is a slow morning overlooking a pristine lake with your sweetheart over a warm cup of coffee

  • The thought of doing the Chicken Dance in front of 200 people makes you want to run for the hills

  • You’d rather spend money on an epic adventure than fancy centrepieces nobody remembers 

  • You are sentimental and want to capture this special day, but without performing some idea of “newlyweds” that doesn’t resonate.

  • You want a wedding photographer who isn’t afraid to get her knees dusty and her boots wet for the perfect shot.

Sound like you? Hell yeah.

Let's skip the awkward poses and capture your love story in all its unfiltered glory.
