Highly recommend Shannon

Shannon photographed our October 2018 wedding. Shannon was fantastic to work with both leading up to the wedding and the day of. She met us at our venue a few weeks before the wedding to go over logistics and to look at lighting and the best places in the venue for photos. On the day of, Shannon was on time and ready to begin. Without overstepping her role, she stuck with us to make sure she got all of the pictures that we had discussed and were important to us. She was a very calming influence on such an emotional day for the two of us. All of our guests raved about her wonderful personality. We highly recommend using Shannon for your wedding photography.

Shannon was the photographer at our wedding and June, and she was everything that my husband and I could hope for! She really took the time to know us as a couple, and our story was definitely reflected in our photos. Most importantly, Shannon captured all the special moments during our ceremony and reception, and we have enjoyed viewing our photos again and again. She also did a great job working with our family during the posed pictures. Two of our friends recommended Shannon, and we are so happy that we went with her. My husband and I highly recommend her!

I had the pleasure of working with Shannon at a March wedding. She was courteous, professional, and fun to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure the bride and groom had a spectacular day. Her great sense of humor and personality allowed her to connect with everyone, from the wedding party to the guests. Shanon's pictures captured all of the emotion that day. Even looking at the pictures now, I can feel all of the excitement. I would recommend Shannon over and over again and am looking forward to working with her in the future!
