Beautiful wedding photographs

Shannon was very personable and we felt very comfortable with her. She was very knowledgeable about when and where to take our wedding pictures. We were married on the beach just before sunset and the pictures came out beautiful. She has reasonable prices and got the pictures to us quickly.

Great experience in Hawaii!

We booked Shannon a year ago for a small vow renewal at the beach. Shannon was great at responding to my emails, and the photos were amazing. Thanks Shannon!

Genuine, professional and punctual.

Shannon made our wedding photography experience! She was always prompt in her responses, easy to work with the time difference (i live in California), and extremely professional. We felt so comfortable with Shannon, she was a pleasure to work with. Our pictures were breathtaking and told the story of us. I would hire Shannon again in a heartbeat.

We really hit the jackpot when we found Shannon! She is so sweet and laid back but at the same time very professional. She made me and my husband feel like rockstars both during our engagement photos and on our big day. She was super fast with sneak peak photos and our wedding photos came in right on time! With the quality of work she provides, you could almost expect to pay double what she charges but her wedding packages are very reasonable! She is flexible with the package details as well, we added in a second photographer and a few extra hours of coverage. It really says something when I can look at a picture from my wedding day and feel all of those emotions all over again, I actually cried when I first saw the photos (happy tears!). I wish I could attach all of the photos she took but the files seem to be too large. Please, please check her work out on instagram or facebook and book for your wedding, engagement, family session, or just because! You won't regret it!

I cannot say enough positive things about Shannon and her work! Once my sister decided she wanted to have a destination wedding in Hawaii, I started searching for wedding photographers in Honolulu. It's a big decision and there seem to be endless options! I couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Shannon to shoot my sister's wedding photos! She was extremely responsive to emails and texts, and accommodated our last min requests. We were totally blown away by the sneak peak photos, especially with her candid shots that perfectly captured the day. She was a pleasure to be around and very easy to work with. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos and can't recommend her highly enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
