Here is the thing about finding the right photographer…

It’s not just about the photos, it’s about finding someone whose energy matches yours. Someone who makes you feel at ease the moment you meet them, someone who gets your vision without you having to over explain it.

Whether your wedding has 200 guests or just the 2 of you!

You deserve that person. Hi I am Shannon, I think I might be your girl!

Around here, we do..

Wedding and elopements that make your day feel as free, wild and completely yours as it should be

(but with a little less posing and a lot more raw, unfiltered emotion)

There’s a season in life when you start to truly feel how fast time moves, how quickly everything changes and how you’re never as young or as carefree as you are right now.

Your wedding day is one of those moments.

Long after the celebration quiets and everyone goes home, your photos become the one thing that takes you straight back to exactly how this day felt — more precious with every year that passes.

With six years of experience I take care of every detail so you can fully let go and just be present. The timeline, the moments, the in betweens — I’ve got it all. All you have to do is show up and enjoy the most important day of your life.

Wishing I could +++ this!

From the moment I first started chatting with Shannon I knew she was the photographer for us - her stunning work speaks for itself, but she also immediately became a friend and our own wedding hype girl! I felt nothing but comfort and excitement discussing Nick and I’s vision for our intimate mountain wedding with her - and she absolutely nailed it! We honestly have the most gorgeous engagement and wedding pictures ever! Her images are candid, emotive, and don’t even get me started on her rich and moody tones - I am obsesssssed! Apart from her talent as a photography artist she is simply an incredible person. Our family and friends all commented how kind, fun and down-to-earth she was. I seriously cannot recommend her enough! Looking forward to having her capture more of our milestones! Thank you so much Shannon!
