About this vendor
Hello! I’m Shannon, the owner of Shannon Giselle Photography LLC, and the Mr. Clean-looking fella you can find on the "About" page of my website is my husband of eight years, Charlie. Currently based in Holyoke, MA, we are just a couple of human beings with the desire to capture the moments that make up great memories. Allow us to capture a special glimpse of Life, to capture the sound of happiness and the magic of a smile.
As the main gal running this shindig, I strive to capture images of life as it happens, as messy, fragile, glorious, and beautiful as it occurs. I get it, for most folks, getting your photos taken can be awkward, and I’m here to help! The way I see it, 90% of being a good photographer is being good with people. It’s one thing to take a professional photo that is objectively nice, but it needs to actually look like you. With lots of jokes, organization, and great communication, I make sure to capture my clients’ true essences that make them who they are and, in turn, capture the intense and pure emotions that exist surrounding those they love. Se habla español!

Everything you would want in a photographer, and more!
If you are looking for someone to not only capture your day perfectly, but also someone you can rely on to make sure your day goes smoothly and stress free, Shannon is absolutely who you should go with. From our first meeting with Shannon, we knew that she was the person we wanted with us on our big day. Shannon is a joy to be around and makes you feel 100% comfortable when taking your shots. She even includes an engagement shoot in her wedding packages so you can comfortable with her and the various poses she will put you in on your big day.
Not even 24 hours after our day, Shannon provided us with incredible sneak peaks and also got back our full album to us in a timely manner. Our wedding album captures our day perfectly. Shannon got every angle, captured not only fantastic portraits but many candids, and even got on the floor while we were dancing to capture so many fun shots! She handled family dynamics and the timeline of the day with ease and was a huge reason why I had a smile on my face the whole day! I highly recommend Shannon, she is 100% the type of person that you want with you on your wedding day!

Perfect for Us
From the initial meeting that we had; we knew Shannon was going to be our photographer for the wedding. She went above and beyond before any contracts were drawn. She helped us create a timeline for the wedding, explaining to us how these events usually unfold, and we utilized that same timeline to create our final schedule.
Onto the wedding day itself, we do not think it could have gone better. Shannon and her husband Charlie added to the ambiance in the bridal and groomsmen suites capturing moments we will cherish. Their efficiency to get through immediate and extended family photos was amazing, giving us more time to ourselves. Shannon’s Spanish skills also made her perfect for us as she was able to communicate in our family’s preferred language increasing her efficiency and making everyone comfortable to take great pictures.
Shannon also delivered the entirety of the wedding photos barely a week after the event and we could not be happier with the quality of the photos. We thank you Shannon & Charlie and hope this review can help anyone make an informed decision for their wedding.

An absolute pleasure!
One month ago my partner Thomas and I had the absolute pleasure of having Shannon photograph our wedding. She captured the feeling of the day so beautifully and always kept us at ease. She was friendly, organized, kind, and warmhearted. I couldn't have asked for a better presence to join us in celebration or artist to document our memories. Thank you, Shannon! We just might have to get married again just so you can shoot it again.

Shannon is a joy to work with!
Shannon was amazing. She helped us come up with a schedule and a photo list that hit all of our goals and let us enjoy the day. She absolutely killed it with the pictures. I cannot wait to get the rest back. She had a sneak peak of 28 pictures available to us two days after the wedding! Shannon really took care of me. She took my veil and bouquet right after pictures so I could join the cocktail hour. I have a huge family and she got all of our pictures done so fast! We hired her husband Charlie to be the second shooter and he was also great! The two of them got so many pictures of the night, candids and posed shots. One of my guests told me the next day that Shannon took her cell phone to take her and her husband's picture so they would have them right away. I have never heard of a photographer doing that. It was so thoughtful! We loved having Shannon and Charlie at our wedding and highly recommend them!

Amazing wedding photographer!
We are so glad we hired Shannon to be our wedding photographer! She was easy to communicate with, organized, and so fun to work with. She had no problem herding our families into place for group photos, made it through our shot list, and seamlessly worked the reception to capture great candids of just about every guest. My mom literally could not stop raving about how much she loved her. Our photos are so beautiful and she captured the day perfectly.

Shannon is Essential!
Before we got married, the best photo ever taken of my wife and I was by Shannon when we were guests at a friend’s wedding. It was an amazing - and quite telling - realization. If Shannon can capture a beautiful, personal photo of us when all we were to her were two random guests dancing, there’s no telling what she can do when it’s actually our wedding day! It’s no surprise that from our engagement shoot, all through our wedding ceremony and reception, Shannon continued to create stunning shot after stunning shot. As a vendor/partner, she is a breeze to work with, leading up to the event and during it; she’s as organized, detail-oriented, and focused on flow as a wedding planner. When she is shooting, she makes you feel relaxed and strikes the perfect balance between being jovial and keeping everyone on schedule. It is just so fun to get your photo taken by Shannon! Hiring her (and her husband Charlie as a second shooter) is essential and ensures that no moment - however small - goes uncaptured. The fact that they can do all this while being gentle, careful, and feeling like genuine friends is why they are special.

The BEST photographer!!
Shannon is truly AMAZING at what she does. Her photography captured the "story" of our day so well - it's been a joy looking through our photos and seeing so many little moments we didn't realize were happening all arounds us! And aside from the gorgeous photography, she also managed to (1) learn ALL the names of our extended friends and family (!?!!!) to help direct everyone very kindly and efficiently, including small and inquisitive children, (2) helped keep us on schedule, (3) helped my maid of honor bustle my gown, and (4) provided recommendations and affirmations during some unexpected last minute changes! Plus, we are SO grateful we got to work with her equally talented and kind husband Charlie, too! We (and our families and guests) absolutely loved working with Shannon and Charlie and would not hesitate to hire them again!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
