10/10 Would ABSOLUTELY Recommend

Shannon and the Preserve Studio team are the BEST! We worked with her for our engagement shoot and wedding photos and absolutely LOVE the results. We’ve gotten so many compliments on all of our photos and I would 100% recommend them to anyone who’s looking for a photographer.

When we first reached out to inquire about booking Preserve Studio for our wedding, I had a few goals in mind. 1) I wanted our photos to be unique and fun. 2) Ours was going to be a small wedding with just our immediate families, so we wanted to make sure that we captured all the special moments with them. And 3) We wanted to feel really comfortable with the vendors who would be onsite since the family vibe for the wedding was super important to us. Shannon and Preserve went so far beyond all those needs and we couldn’t be happier.

The biggest challenge for us was that we were based out of Los Angeles, and Shannon was based closer to our wedding Venue up north, however Shannon was so flexible and we were able to work everything out so that she could shoot our engagement in LA and the wedding up north. She made it so easy to plan!

And the photos are MAGICAL!! When I tell you that I am super thrilled with our engagement and wedding photos... I will be happy with these memories FOR. EVER.

So far beyond 10. Would highly recommend.

Simply Perfect

I saw the most stunning pictures of a woman who had a double mastectomy in the San Joaquin Magazine and immediately looked up the photographer. That’s how I found Preserve Studio. As a BRCA1 mutation carrier I resonated with the woman in the pictures but what caught my attention was how beautifully crafted the portraits were.

After seeing Preserve Studios portfolio I knew I found my wedding photographer. A lot of the time images are edited to look orange or have such a high exposure that they look white… which looks good from afar but don’t print well at all. Preserve studio does such an amazing job editing photos, each one looks like a framable piece of art.

We hired Shannon for our elopement photos and video. She went above and beyond. Shannon helped us find a location to say our vows and get ready. She was extremely organized; had a timeline of the day and kindly helped us stick to the schedule.

The day went so beautifully. Shannon and her team were kind, professional, and made us feel comfortable. We had a blast exploring the park and taking pictures.

We got our pictures and video a few weeks afterwards, definitely worth the wait. I cry every time I watch the video, it’s just so beautiful. The pictures are just as beautiful.

Hands down, the BEST photographer I’ve ever worked with. Worth every penny. I can’t wait to renew our vows and work with Shannon and her team again!

Don't think twice, they are THE BEST!

Preserve Studio isn't just good, they're downright AMAZING! If you're on the fence about who to trust with capturing those precious moments, let me assure you, Shannon and her team are the absolute dream team for any photography/videography needs.

Our elopement photos were nothing short of STUNNING; I can't stop gushing about them even though it's been 6 months since our special day! Shannon is not only a skilled photographer but also a genuinely amazing person who actually takes the time to learn about you&yours, your vision, and thought process. She knows her craft inside and out, and what sets her apart is her ability to make her clients feel like the most comfortable, loved, and beautiful versions of themselves. As someone who tends to struggle with their appearance, I was over the moon and felt completely at ease and gorgeous the entire day. Even when my feet were killing me, Shannon ACTUALLY paid attention to my needs and even posed us in different ways to give me relief. Not every person pays attention to those things. As a bride, I am so thankful to have had someone who was "in my corner".

And let's talk about the photos – they're breathtaking. Friends and family alike were blown away by Shannon's work. I absolutely cherish them and see these photos being used for years and YEARS to come.

With that being said, durring the day- I am an event & wedding planner as well. I've had the pleasure of working with Preserve Studio at several events, and they are consistently one of my top picks. Professionalism? Check. Making clients feel important and celebrated? Double check. I've yet to encounter a client who had anything but raving reviews for Preserve Studio. If anything, they're left utterly speechless by the incredible photos and videos that perfectly encapsulate the essence of their special day.

Trust me, you won't regret choosing Preserve Studio for any of your events. Seriously, don't think twice – book them now, and thank me later. Your memories deserve to be preserved by the best, and that's exactly what you'll get with Shannon and the team at Preserve Studio!

The best photo/video vendor!

Shannon and her team at Preserve Studio were the very first vendors we booked for our wedding and she actually led us to the coordinator we ended up working with as well! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day and everything in between Shannon helped us feel so comfortable and relaxed with all things wedding pics and video. She also created our guest book using our engagement pictures! I've ordered so many pictures already but we still plan to get dang near 1 of everything because of how amazing her work is! We are so grateful to have these pictures and videos. It was worth every. single. penny. We had such an amazing wedding day and it's reflected in the photos captured and video created. Thank you so much!

Preserve studio or bust

When an opportunity to cash in on a team that operates at a level as high as 'Vogue' magazine, Dreamforce, etc....you take it. There's simply not enough room in this review section to cover all the high praise's the team rightfully deserves. Credit goes to my beautiful wife for finding Shannon. As nerve wrecking as 'our day' was, the entire process leading to, takes the cake. Shannon is extremely savvy when it comes to detail. From start through to finish, she painted a picture none of us could have imagined. It was love at first consultation, we were so relieved and had a concrete plan on how our day were to go. I'm not one to be photogenic, and can speak the same for my wife. I don't consider myself to be photogenic one bit and can speak the same for my wife. We've had an engagement shoot (with another photographer) prior but I wasn't too keen on how they turned out. I was even more sold on how our engagement photos turned out. She captured us in our utmost 'natural' forms and created an environment that made us extremely comfortable to be ourselves and take the shots that best represent us. Fast forward to our day. everything went so smooth. She's great in execution and moves the process along in precision. She partners greatly with other vendors to make sure timelines are met. It was a cold day in the sierra's and our immediate families and us were freezing. In light of that, she managed to quickly capture key photos in few takes.

I was a bit reluctant to opt into the video package, but now after seeing the final product, am relieved we did. Worth every penny! Every minute detail was accounted for by a extremely experienced team (and thus shows in the end product. Our day went by extremely fast, I'm so relieved that every minute detail to our day will live on forever. To also mention that they were so awesome to work with, made the day that much better.

I can't recommend Shannon and her team enough and would hate for anybody to miss out on such a gem!

Wedding photography and videography

I am so grateful I found Shannon and her team at Preserve Studio. Their work amazed me from the start, but after meeting for the first time I found that beyond their beautiful photos and video were professionals that I didn’t know I needed. Shannon walked us through the timeline and logistics of our unconventional wedding weekend in Yosemite, and her flexibility, creativity, and expertise really helped us to achieve the best weekend ever!

We LOVED Our Wedding & Engagement Photos!!

Shannon is truly such a rockstar photographer! We went with Shannon for our engagement & wedding photography and we are so glad that we did - one of the best decisions we made! We fell in LOVE with the romantic and moody style of her photography, and we were so incredibly happy with how our photos turned out. My husband and I aren't the most comfortable in front of a camera, but she made it so easy for us and also made us look so natural in photos :) She perfectly captured all the best moments of our day for us to look back to and we will treasure these for years to come.

Shannon also helped with finalizing our wedding day schedule, gave us tips on what we can wear for our engagement shoot, single-handedly wrangled 100+ people for a massive family photo in a matter of minutes, and above all, so fun to be around all whilst being super professional!

Shannon, thank you for traveling to our wedding location to capture our special day. We consider ourselves so incredibly lucky to have found the most perfect photographer for our day!

Amazing, talented, must hire!

I originally hired Shannon and her team for our wedding in 2019 ( photography, videography, and floral) and since then we have done multiple projects together i.e. anniversary shoots, headshots, capturing our business. I am always completely blown away by the quality of their work, their vision, talent and over all just so fun to be around. Shannon is an absolute gem and her team is right there with her. I love how adventurous they are and they will always get an amazing shot. Highly highly recommend Preserve Studio and Rosemarry & Vine!!!!

Incredible, Professional, Amazing!

Don't walk, RUN to Shannon and her team at Preserve Studio. She endured countless phone calls filled with worry and indecisiveness due to COVID and handled each one with patience and grace. She ultimately made our elopement a flawless event. I couldn't be happier with the way that the photos and our wedding video turned out. We also used Shannon's floral company, Rose Marry and Vine, for the flowers.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
