The Best Photographer Ever

My absolute FAVORITE vendor ever. Shannon is such a talented, kind, and fun photographer! I chose her initially because her photos were just so lively and colorful. Her editing style is superb! The added bonus is that she is seriously the sweetest person ever and she made me feel so comfortable.

We first met in person at my family photo session the day before our wedding and we all loved her! I think my mom wanted to steal her to keep her around forever as our family photographer 😂

Even my husband who hates taking pictures said how much he loved working with Shannon! He said she was a “hype queen” who kept the energy up and good vibes all day.

Shannon even gave me a fan to cool me off while taking pictures, helped hold my dress while walking, and gave us recommendations on our honeymoon in Kauai.

She set the bar VERY high for my expectations with photographers in the future. I think I’m just going to have to travel to her each time I need a photo session 😂

Shannon is the BEST!! Book this girl you won’t regret it!

Best photographer ever!

We are SO happy we chose Shannon Sasaki as our wedding photographer. From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with—and her photos speak for themselves.

We looked at a lot of photographers, but Shannon’s work immediately caught our eye. Her colors are bold, vibrant, and full of life; exactly what we were looking for! Our full gallery has blown us away; she captured the emotion and energy of the day beautifully.

Our wedding was in May, right before peak season, and Shannon turned everything around quickly. Any minor edits we asked for were done perfectly. On top of all that, there were lovely little touches throughout the process, like a complimentary engagement shoot and a gorgeous box and print she sent with the final images.

But beyond the quality of her work, Shannon herself is just the BEST. She’s hilarious, warm, and made everyone feel completely at ease. My husband isn’t usually one for big smiles in photos, but Shannon had us both laughing and relaxed all day; it really shows in every picture.

We couldn’t recommend her enough, just book her!

BEST photographer EVER

Shannon is amazing. I first met her when she shot one of my best friends from college's wedding (YEARS ago!). I remembered what a great experience my friend had, so I reached out and was thrilled that she was available for our date. She even remembered my friend's wedding! Shannon is super fun and easy to work with, and was super responsive from day one. She was also so kind and responsive when a situation arose unexpectedly after (thank again so much for that, Shannon).
From the ceremony to the reception- we, as well as our guests enjoyed working with her and are SO glad she was there to capture our special day...Shannon has such amazing energy and positivity- would def hire her again!!
Thank you again, Shannon! LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures!!

Like working with a friend!

I first met Shannon when my sister hired Shannon as her wedding photographer in 2021 and I was part of the bridal party. Shannon's attention to detail immediately stuck out to me, as well as her incredible personality. As someone who usually feels awkward during any photoshoots, her ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera was so refreshing. I knew from that moment that I wanted to work with Shannon again, and she was the first vendor we reached out to and hired as soon as my partner and I got engaged, 3 years later! As expected, our entire experience with Shannon has been wonderful and it feels like we were working with a friend! She is very professional, but is also like the ultimate hype woman and just so easy to talk to. We just received our online gallery and loved reliving our special day all over again through Shannon's beautiful photos!

Shannon rocks!

Shannon was amazing! We loved working with her. She brought good energy, had a great vision for how to leverage the space to make great photos, and delivered us *beautiful* images we’ll always cherish. She was a great communicator and the second shooter she brought with her was such a joy to work with, too. As a queer couple, we were super comfortable working with Shannon and we’d recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer with fair prices and amazing skills.

Our experience with Shannon was exceptional! She provided top-notch service, very responsive, and exceeded our expectations.

Where do we begin. I am local to Hawaii but due to work, my wife and I have been planning our wedding from Virginia and flew back home for our big day. That being said, despite the time difference, communication with Shannon was seamless and incredibly professional throughout the process and making meetings fit according to our schedule. From our very first initial meeting with Shannon, it was very comforting and our conversations flowed naturally. At the end of the call, we left moving forward with her being our photographer. On the day of the wedding, she captured amazing photos exceeding our expectations to include one of our favorite kissing photo with our family in the back having the time of their lives at our wedding. She understood our vision and more. Shannon was always prepared and even when the weather didn't cooperate, she already had a backup plan ready to go ensuring we still have incredible shots (which we did). We highly recommend Shannon!

The Photographer We Didn't Know We Needed!

We chose Shannon’s photography services because her subjects look joyful and natural, she is diversity-inclusive, and her rates are affordable. What we DIDN'T expect was how much energy, organization, efficiency, and joy she would bring to our wedding day while seamlessly blending into our flow - and we totally underestimated the importance of this leadership and thoughtfulness in a photographer! Shannon showed up on our wedding day with so much poise and confidence and smoothly ran our 4-hour package in a way that was considerate of our timeline, other vendors, and our needs and comfort (especially in the heat and busyness), and made sure we were on time (!!) every step of the way without creating any rush or stress. She was thoughtful of our special requests including creating moments of downtime for me and my husband to rest, and adjusted our photo shoot to maximize fun and efficiency while reducing stress and complexity. Looking back, Shannon was such an instrumental part in making our day joyful, memorable, and stress-free by allowing us to focus solely on enjoying the day our loved ones. Thank you, Shannon! Hope we get to work with you in the future!

Besides her awesome eye and skill in photography, working with Shannon is always a fun time. She makes you feel like you have known her for a while and to me, when the client is relaxed and comfortable, that makes for the best photos. I highly recommend Shannon for far more than her skill and quality work but also for her awesome personality!
