He's the Best!

We absolutely loved having Shaun as our wedding photographer. From our very first conversation, he made us feel completely comfortable and confident in our choice. He also photographed our engagement session, and we had such a fun time. We were laughing the entire shoot and genuinely enjoyed every moment.

On our wedding day, Shaun went above and beyond, helping everything run smoothly, even when things got a little chaotic with family timing (haha). His calm, steady presence made such a difference.

And the photos… we truly couldn’t love them more. They bring us right back to the emotions of the day with such vivid detail. He captured so many incredible candid moments. Every time we look through them, we find ourselves laughing and tearing up all over again. It feels like we get to relive not only the moments we experienced, but also the ones we didn’t even get to see in real time.

If you have the opportunity to work with Shaun—do it. He is truly the best.

Dream wedding

Where to begin!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN LISTEN UP!!! If you are even considering Shaun as a photographer JUST BOOK HIM! You won’t regret it! My mom is actually the one who came across Shaun when I was wedding planning. We had been looking for a little while and I was feeling a bit defeated. The other photographers were good but it just wasn’t what I was looking for. Then came Shaun. Not only does he capture incredible moments, but he has such an elegant way of doing so. Along with his amazing photography, he is genuinely an amazing person! He was incredible to work with, VERY PATIENT (we ran a bit behind schedule). My family and I absolutely loved working with him and plan to use him in the future for any photography needs!

Stunning Photographs

My family has always cherished photos, so I placed a lot of importance on hiring an ace-level photographer for our wedding. And the first time I came across Shaun’s photos online I literally gasped out loud by his stunning work. He truly captured the couples’ and guests’ emotions—and he did the same for ours.

Shaun and his partner Annie, of course, took the pre-planned photos we had asked for, but the joy was in the unstaged moments they captured. The photos of our mothers hugging with tears in their eyes, of my grandma dancing and whooping with my friends at the reception, of my now-husband kissing my forehead during our first dance…. they captured moments and emotions we didn’t see or realize were happening that day the first time around, and their work is priceless to us.

They put our families at ease with their humor and professionalism, and it was fun to watch them come up with creative ways to capture moments, but it never felt intrusive.

Shaun and Annie also completed our photo editing in a fraction of the time that was agreed to in the contract, and sweetened the (short) waiting period with a handful of sneak-peek photos, as well as a 10 minute video slideshow of some of the best photos set to music. It was a lovely way to share memories of the day with friends and family who couldn’t make it and wanted to feel a part of the event. We would recommend them to anyone.

Shaun was Outstanding!
From the very beginning, Shaun stood out from other photographers. I found him on a random google search of San Diego engagement photographers. He contacted me immediately when it took other vendors days to get back to me. And he was so friendly and professional via email and in person. He really took his time with us and you could tell that he truly loves the work that he does. His whole heart is in his work and it shows.

Shaun has an amazing eye. We fell in love with his work when we saw wedding photos of a friend of a friend. He is super easy to work with and didn't require us to do much prep work. Our photos are beyond beautiful and everyone compliments us. Our only problem is deciding which ones we want printed. There are too many breath taking options. Guest told me how impressed they were with Shaun's skills to get the perfect shot. We have fantastic photos to enjoy for years to come. We greatly enjoyed working with Shaun and hope to work with him in the future.

Shaun was awesome. When we first met him, we tossed around the idea of only using his services for part of the day. We asked Shaun why he would need to be there for the full day, and he said he wants to tell a full story of the day. Boy was Shaun right! Now that we have the photos you can really tell he was telling a story with his work. Shaun is really easy to work with; he is flexible but extremely responsive with just the right touch of being a perfectionist.
Shaun has worked with us on every post-wedding request we've made. He sent us a few pictures he took the day after the wedding and he got all of our pictures to us within a month of the wedding. Every time we send an email asking for something, small or large, he responds quickly. We would recommend Shaun for anyone looking for a top-rate photographer who will get all of the shots you want, plus all of the shots that you need, and do it without taking anything away from your ability to experience the moment of your big day in its fullest!

Shaun was truly one of the best decisions that we made when planning our wedding! I loved his personality from the first time we met and loved working with him throughout the entire process. Shaun was incredibly communicative, professional (but also has the feeling of an old friend), extremely reasonably priced, and has an obvious passion for what he does. The day of the wedding was equally as fantastic. Shaun worked his magic while being as minimally disruptive to the event as possible.

And onto the important part... the photos turned out just beautifully! Better than I had imagined they would. Shaun has a very unique eye that I just love. I'm not one for a bunch of posed photos and I really appreciated Shaun's ability to capture emotions through a very unique perspective. His use of natural light and sharp contract is also amazing. I'm sure you can see all of this from his website... but bottom line is that I would absolutely positively recommend Shaun to anyone, bride or otherwise, looking for a photographer. Thanks Shaun!

I cannot speak highly enough about Shaun and his work. He did such a beautiful job capturing everything on our wedding day! I was speechless when I looked through our photos, they are breathtaking!! Shaun was such a pleasure to work with and has really given us something beautiful to remember our wedding by. If I could speak with everyone who is in need of a photographer, I would tell them to choose Shaun hands down!! He is absolutely the best! Very professional, polite, and awesome to work with. It was so fun getting to hang out with him all day! Also, he has a super quick turn around time with our pictures!! I saw them all within the week of our wedding and received our CDs the day we returned from our honeymoon!! BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!!!! Cheers to Shaun and capturing one of the biggest moments of our lives so beautifully!!

We couldn't give Shaun anymore praise. Not only is he an incredible artist, but we had so much fun with him. He was not invasive yet everyone felt drawn to his warm nature. In 10 years when Kevin and I renew our vows and have another party of the century…Shaun will capture it! We are already planning a post wedding shoot with Shaun, Kevin and I are both snow fanatics…I can’t wait to see the magic that Shaun will create when we shoot in the snow in Central Park.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
