About

I have always been drawn to stories and inspired by the beauty and complexity of relationships. About a decade ago, I left a career as a therapist to pursue my dream to become a visual storyteller and small business owner. Hundreds of weddings later, I love what I do and haven't looked back since. I am grateful to have worked with and photographed some truly remarkable people all around the world.

My approach to weddings is part documentary and part editorial, meaning I capture events in a real and candid way, but also guide poses and infuse creativity into detail styling and color story creation. My ultimate goal is not only giving a great experience, but also delivering an image collection that feels like a timeless work of art. I thrive with other creative vendors around me and bring a calming and joy-filled energy to help those in front of my lens feel comfortable and relaxed. I spent many years working as a high-end fashion retoucher, which has also contributed to my unique perspective and skill set as a photographer.

My husband of fifteen years and our two sons call Virginia home. Besides weddings, I freelance for a few local magazines, photographing lifestyle portraits, interiors, and food. I am an avid swimmer, baseball mom, and soon-to-be private pilot.

10/10! Best Photographer Out There

We had a fantastic experience with Shannon!!! We first met her when she traveled to us for our engagement shoot and she brought such a fun, upbeat energy to every part of the process. Her ability to make us feel comfortable and genuinely enjoy ourselves during all the pics made a huge difference — the photos reflect that perfectly.

On our wedding day, she was professional, efficient, and full of positivity. The images are stunning, full of life and happy colors!! She captured exactly how the day felt. We’re so grateful to have had her as part of our celebration and can’t recommend her highly enough.

Dreamy, light, fun and candid!

Shannon is incredible to work with. Shannon is so fun and upbeat, and makes everyone feel so comfortable, which shows through the photos she captures. Her editing skills are incredible - all of our photos are so light and dreamy. She did a great job balancing portrait style with candid moments throughout the day. I could not recommend working with Shannon enough!!! The photos are simply amazing!!!

Best Wedding Photographer Ever!

Shannon was the most amazing wedding photographer we could have ever asked for!

From the start to finish of working with Shannon, she was extremely professional, kind, and easy to work with. She kept in close contact with us in the months leading up to our wedding, and she promptly answered any questions we had. As we got closer to our wedding date, Shannon spent time with both us and our wedding planner to ensure that the day ran smoothly. Going into our wedding weekend, we had full trust that Shannon would do a great job, and that she did.

Outside of being a pleasure to work with, Shannon is just so incredibly talented. We are blown away by the amazing photos we have to remember our special day.

Shannon, thank you so much for all of your hard work - we will cherish our photos forever!

The absolute best!

Shannon was absolutely incredible - we did both engagement and wedding photos for us and we could not be happier. She did my eldest sister's wedding in 2018 and we were so excited to get to work with her. From the very start Shannon helped us pick a fun engagement photo location, even helping me find my outfit for the shoot, and guided us through the process seamlessly. We loved being able to use photos from our engagement shoot on our save the dates! As wedding day approached, she collaborated with all our vendors to ensure the weekend timeline was organized and photo-ready. Her energetic, positive attitude made us and everyone in our family very comfortable and excited to take photos (no easy feat!). She delivered our full photo gallery quickly and they are STUNNING! We can't wait to look at them for years to come, and are so grateful for the beautiful, artful photos Shannon took on our wedding day. Looking forward to seeing her again at my sister's upcoming wedding and more fun events to come!

Shannon is the best!

Shannon is truly the best! She photographed by wedding in Colorado (July 2023) after she photographed by sister's wedding on the eastern shore of Maryland back in September 2021). Aside from the photos being absolutely stunning and perfect, Shannon is such a joy to be around! I typically do not enjoy taking a ton of photos but she made it super easy and made it feel natural from start to finish. She has such a talent finding the perfect lighting and specific spots to get the best photos. After the wedding, it was a quick turnaround to receive the images too which I'm super grateful for! I cannot stop looking at these pictures and all thanks to Shannon they are beautiful and I am so excited that the most special day of my life is captured so beautifully in pictures. Thank you Shannon!!!! Truly could not recommend using Shannon for your wedding photographer any more.

The best of the best!!

Shannon is simply the best!! Shannon was one of the first vendors we booked and the absolute best decision! We had looked and spoken to quite a few photographers but immediately after talking to Shannon we knew we wanted to work with her.

On our wedding day, Shannon was more than just our photographer. She brought so much fun, positive energy while proving her talent is truly unmatched. Both my husband and I would say we’re not the most photogenic/comfortable in front of a camera. But thanks to Shannon we felt completely at ease and natural because we truly had so much fun taking the pictures with her.

We had a rainy/overcast day with limited covered space for outdoor pictures. Even given the conditions, Shannon went above and beyond showcasing the beauty of the day with the pictures turning out straight up dreamy!!

When we received our full gallery I laughed and giggled and cried looking through all the beautifully captured memories. She captured the day exactly as it was and we are forever grateful to be able to relive it through her lenses. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone over and over again!!

Timeless, elegant, beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever!

Shannon’s work is just so beautiful. Words don’t do justice. She was the first vendor I booked because her work is different than trendy- it is timeless, elegant, and her style is unique. She beautifully captures both the architecture and beauty of far away shots, as well as the intimacy and details of close-up shots. She contacted us when she was going to be in our area to do an engagement shoot, since our wedding was on the east coast and we live on the west coast. We were blown away with both our engagement shots and wedding photos!! She herself is fun, charming, and nothing feels awkward while getting “the shot”. We did her highest package and don’t regret it for a second. She not only got beautiful photos of getting ready and our ceremony, but also the most fun and captivating moments through our reception that provided us with photos from the entire day and evening! We were delivered even more more photos than expected which was so special when re-living our wedding day through photos. I recommend her so much for both an engagement shoot and your wedding! Below are some of my favorite shots she took of me/us. These photos will be on our walls and in our hearts for the rest of our lives!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
