Shannon was exceptional. Her photos are elegant and timeless and she is easy to work with. Truth, this is my second wedding. My first wedding photographer took some great shots but her ability to capture people was lackluster. Shannon has mastered taking great shots that really capture people in the moment. A lot of photographers do one or the other well, but not both. Shannon’s pricing is very fair and she works well with the other wedding vendors. Shannon offers personalized service. If you book with Shannon, you aren’t booking with some company that will treat your wedding like another number on an assembly line and send two photographers out to shoot your wedding you have never met. Best of luck!

Shannon and Belinda absolutely made our wedding day amazing. They were personable and attentive to our wants, and also joined in on our fun. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing. I hope to work with them again!

Studio Carre was an excellent choice for our wedding photographer! After moving away from San Diego recently, we decided to return to La Jolla to host a destination wedding at the Martin Johnson House. Since we were coordinating everything remotely, it was reassuring to see how professional and prepared Shannon was for every interaction. From video conference calls, to a comprehensive survey to learn about our personal story & style preferences, Shannon led us through the details with confidence and creativity. We met on site during a preview trip with our coordinator about 2 months before the event, and then Shannon planned another scouting trip since she hadn't worked at the venue previously. She sent us a draft schedule well ahead of time, and patiently accommodated our last-minute changes to family portrait requests.

On wedding day, she brought a great assistant photographer and both helped to calmly nudge us to stay on time during the transition after getting ready. We did our first look at the hotel, and then they even drove us to the ceremony site for our couple photos! The pre-ceremony portraits took a while, but Shannon had some great ideas for locations and poses around our venue site. Shortly before the ceremony, she suggested a few photos in front of a beautiful wooden barn door with the best man and maid of honor. Other poses featured details from the landscape, either wedged between flowers and trees, or on a nearby balcony in front of the ocean. I'm looking forward to seeing this wide range of settings, in addition to the standard family gatherings in front of the altar. During our reception, when our coordinator pointed out that we were running later than expected, it was a relief to know that we had the option to extend the photographers' time.

I also appreciated her online billing system to keep track of everything. Compared to other vendors, this really helped me streamline payments and due dates! I can't wait to see the photos!
