Shauna and her team are amazing! Highly recommend!

Our wedding photos were truly incredible and I cried happy tears looking through our final gallery as we relived every special moment over again. We could not have chosen a more perfect photographer and we cannot recommend Photography Du Jour enough — run, do not walk, to book her services! Shauna is amazing!

Shauna photographed my best friend’s wedding and I was thrilled she was available for our wedding date. From our first virtual meeting, she helped us think through our timeline, offered helpful suggestions for creating special moments for just us as a couple, and strategizing how to effortlessly include our big blended family + friends.

We were fortunate to work with her for both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day — both in Washington, DC.

Shauna and her staff are consummate professionals. Shauna was incredibly kind, helpful, and generous with both her expertise and time with our family and other vendors we worked with to make our wedding a success.

On our wedding day, Shauna was a calming presence, seamlessly capturing every special moment without being intrusive. The photos are absolutely stunning — each image tells a story and perfectly encapsulates the joy and love of that day. She even went the extra mile to take a few personal videos for my parents, since we weren’t in a position to hire a videographer.

If you’re looking for a photographer who truly cares about her clients and is willing to go above and beyond, hire Shauna and Photography Du Jour. I’m so profoundly grateful to her!

Best photography team all around!

We can’t say enough good things about Shauna and Photography du Jour! Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is a joy to work with and helped our entire wedding day run smoothly. She directed our very large wedding party with ease, and didn’t miss a candid moment. We are so happy with how our photos turned out! Highly recommend this team to any couples in search of a photographer for upcoming life events.

The best wedding photographer

One of the smartest decisions we made when planning our wedding was hiring Shauna at Photography Du Jour. From our first phone call, to our big day, Shauna was just absolutely incredible paying close attention to our needs and interests but also really getting to know us as a couple. She is a genius when it comes to photography having such an eye for making her couples looks stunning on their wedding day. She made me as a bride feel so beautiful while taking the pictures and of course in the pictures themselves. She cared about our friends and family remaining so kind and remembering to include everyone creating beautiful life long memories. During our rehearsal dinner and wedding this past November, Shauna also took the time to take exceptional candid photos as well as photos of the scenery, decor, and so much more to really capture how our weekend felt through all the senses. If you are planning a wedding in the area, you MUST hire Shauna at Photography Du Jour, you won't regret it. Thank you endlessly for everything, we truly cannot thank you enough!

Perfect Wedding Photo Experience

We got married at the Manor at Airmont in September 2023 and our venue recommended Shauna P. We hired Shauna to shoot our wedding, and also for our engagement session!, and have only the BEST things to say. She was always great to communicate with, listened to our preferences, and got to know us as people. She shot some beautiful engagement photos for us at the US Botanic Garden- even moving a huge stop sign on the ground in order to get the shot (and yes, she put it back up after!). She kept us at ease and made everything so comfortable and natural. Our wedding day with her was FLAWLESS. Shauna operates as a professional who takes every detail seriously – yet she is never anything but friendly, kind, and a joy to be around. It’s rare to find someone who can bring such a fun energy while also executing at such a high level. She made our parents feel so cared for, and put such detail into each shot. The images she captured for us, and the way she captured them, will stay with us forever. From one Shauna to another, Shauna Ploeger is truly the best of the best – we wholeheartedly recommend her for your wedding!

Shauna and her team are incredible!

I think I have gone through our wedding photos at least once a week since they were shared - cannot say enough good things about Photography Du Jour!

Shauna and the Photography Du Jour team were incredible to work with. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Shauna made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (not an easy feat!)

What impressed us most was Shauna's ability to arrive at our wedding venue (a family home) for only the second time, and perfectly capture our day. Shauna and her team took care to make sure meaningful spaces were photographed, while finding opportunities to use the space in ways we hadn't thought about. Her artistic eye is spectacular and the photos reflect the elegant but welcoming feeling we wanted for our wedding day.

Would not hesitate working with such a kind and talented team!

Must have photographer

Shauna was so sweet and nice. I just got married this past July and all the photos came out beautiful. From the detailed photos, to the candid, and everything else. Shauna was helpful in every way, even for non-photography related issues. Even helped out with my veil. Everything ran smoothly. She was the first photographer I spoke to and ended up booking her right away.
I highly recommend Shauna.

Shauna turned all the photo sessions into amazing little moments during the day

I cannot begin to describe how amazing Shauna was during our wedding day. She knew exactly what I wanted from our first conversation months ago and made it all come to life. The variety of photos we got back took my breath away, I LOVE THEM ALL! She also styled me, fixed my hair, my dress, every little detail she caught and captured the most perfect moments. I couldn’t recommend Shauna enough and am so lucky I got to work with such a talented team.
