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!
