Shannon was simply a remarkable photographer in every way. We initially chose her for our wedding because the photos we saw on her website looked magical -- and her prices were better than any other photographer I could find. We were not disappointed!

Shannon made us feel at ease from the first meeting with her. She knew exactly what she was talking about, was flexible and responsive to all of of our emails, and was happy to answer any questions I had -- both during our initial meeting and in the months following. We did book her several months in advance, but she didn't forget about us one bit! She also didn't make me feel like I was bombarding her with questions or overwhelming her with requests, which I know some brides tend to be worried about!

For me, family portraits were the absolute most important photos to get, but my now-husband has a HUGE family, and I was worried we wouldn't have enough time to get them all done! Shannon made sure we got all of them taken in record time (like 20 minutes? tops? It was unreal), and it seemed like she was the one who really made sure everything was happening on schedule. In fact, I would say our wedding ceremony (and afterward) went smoothly at least 80% because of Shannon. She was really on top of it!

She even snuck in a few unplanned bridal portraits before the ceremony, and got some beautiful candids of our guests. My expectations were far exceeded!

She told us after the session that it could take up to 3 months for us to get our photos back, but we got a sneak peek the next week, and had all our photos in about 3 weeks! We did have a small wedding (34 guests) and we only booked her for 2 hours, so that may be why she was able to get them back to us so quickly, but nonetheless, I was more than pleased.

I would absolutely recommend Shannon to any couple getting married, especially if you want your photographer to get a lot of photos done in a short period of time. Big or small wedding, she's the best!

Choosing Shannon to photograph our wedding was an excellent choice. She's a true professional, and we absolutely love our pictures. She did both our engagement shoot and the wedding itself, and really put us at ease. By the day of our wedding, we felt incredibly comfortable having her there and she did an outstanding job capturing both candid and staged shots of our wedding. She's a talented photographer, and we highly recommend her services.

I knew from the moment we met Shannon and Amber at a Bridal Expo, the search was over for wedding photographer. Her personality immediately put my husband and I at ease when we first met with her to discuss our wedding. Shannon is so much fun to work with and definitely makes you comfortable while she's capturing your most treasured photo memories. We are looking forward to using her for our anniversary pictures and family pictures as our family grows! Thank you Shannon!!!! ?

Shannon was a dream to work with! From my initial email seeking more information to the day my wedding photos came in, my husband and I were thrilled. She was professional and flexible during our freezing cold engagement picture session, amazingly quick to email back to answer my questions leading up to the wedding, and she even showed up early to photograph my family members' reactions to seeing my dress for the first time! I would recommend her in a heartbeat! In fact, I'm looking forward to using her to take anmiversary pictures.

Shannon and her 2nd shooter, Amber were great! They were like ninjas getting amazing shots without being noticed and by the end of the reception, they were like family!! We also had Shannon do our engagement pictures and we are so glad that we chose her to capture our memories. We definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future as our family grows!

Shannon is a wonderful photographer and a very warm and energetic person! Her gregarious personality immediately put my husband and I at ease when we first met with her to discuss our wedding. We were also very impressed with the quality and artistry of her photographs we've seen so far! She works with an excellent, prompt and professional team. We really enjoyed interacting with them throughout the wedding and we are already getting rave reviews from our friends who've seen the wedding photographs!

Shannon (and her partner Amber) we both professional and great to work with. She was well priced for what she was offering (all day coverage, two photographers, an engagement session, save the dates and a photo album.) I got her biggest package and she was most definitely willing to work with me and my budget.

The only thing you should know is that it does take a little while for the photos to be edited and come back. It's been about three weeks, and I'm still waiting for them, which is fine, I'm just anxious to get them back. :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
