    Absolutely the best

    We had the pleasure of Shannon photographing both our COVID mountain wedding last March and then our celebration at Fairview Farm Events earlier this month and we can not say enough good things about our experiences! She was extremely professional but also made us feel like she was a good friend allowing us to feel comfortable behind her camera! We got our whole wedding album just 2 weeks after our wedding and the quality and love she captured in our photos we will cherish for a lifetime.

    Absolutely wonderful!

    Shannon was an absolute joy to work with! She did an excellent job making us and our families feel comfortable on our wedding day. Her work is stunning and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for any type of photography. So glad that we had the opportunity to have her photograph our wedding and can’t wait to use her again in the future!

    The Best of the Best

    Shannon makes taking photos so natural and fun. On top of that, she takes magazine quality photos. My husband and I --- as well as our guests! --- continue to ooo and ahh over the photos

    Don't wait! Book shannon NOW!

    I wound write a long review about how beautiful Shannon’s photos are, but we all already know that! I would 100% recommend Shannon for any wedding, event, photo shoot, family photo session or just about anything to be completely honest because she’s just the type of person that everyone loves to be around! She is so easy and fun to work with. After the wedding, everyone in our wedding party kept telling us how sweet, fun, and professional Shannon was! My new husband and I had never gotten professional photos done together prior to our engagement session and wedding so we were newbies but Shannon knew the exact poses and angles needed the get the greatest photos! Our wedding was scheduled to be finished at 10pm and per our contract we only hired Shannon until 9:30pm, but she stayed the extra half hour free of charge just to get the sparkler send off shots! Generally, Shannon works alone and doesn’t have a second photographer, but don’t be nervous about that! That girl takes SOOO many photos and the quality is amazing! The photos speak for themselves. I can’t wait to hire Shannon again in the future!

    Best Photographer ever! These Memories captured will last a lifetime

    We choose Shannon Hennessey photography after meeting her over 5 years ago when she photographed our friend’s wedding. Since that day and seeing her work I knew that when that day came for me and my now Husband we would only want to use her. Over 5 years later...April of 2019 we got engaged and I reached out to Shannon immediately. She responded right away, and we were booked! I was overly excited to have her be a part of our Wedding adventure. She is absolutely the BEST in the business, and she knows exactly what she is doing. Not only does she have the talent, but her personality makes working with her even better. My husband is not one for the camera and the pictures that she captures are outstanding! When we showed up to our engagement pictures, which we traveled over 2 hours away for, I forgot all my jeans at home for my outfit and without hesitating she changed into my yoga pants and gave me her jeans to wear, she was a true lifesaver that day and such an amazing friend. We got married in Hilton Head, SC this May 2021 and she traveled down there with us and captured our whole wedding weekend perfectly. I could not be happier with the outcome of all our pictures we received back, there is honestly not one bad one out of 2000 some pictures. She made me feel absolutely beautiful in every picture taken and I only would recommend her to anyone I know. We plan on continuing to use Shannon as we move through life with all memories to capture to come. She is one of the most genuine, sweet, loving, good hearted person I know, which makes working with her so simple and easy going. BOOK HER TODAY!

    Highly Recommend

    Shannon photographed our engagement session and our wedding at Fairview Farm Events and we were overwhelmed with how great her work is. Her dedication to making you feel beautiful and comfortable is spectacular. She made everything go so smoothly and was constantly checking on us to make sure we were okay. Her attitude, personality, communication, timeliness, and photography skills are one of a kind. You will not find another better. Other vendors love working with her as well, which makes everything that much more great! I would recommend her to any and everyone I know. We can't wait to use her in the future! Thanks for everything Shannon!

    Oh how we love Shannon! She made our wedding day so much fun and she captured every single moment perfectly. She's a true expert at photography and makes it seem so easy. She was easy to work with and flexible which was perfect for my hectic wedding morning. Our photos are beautiful and so much more than we could have imagined and we will cherish them for our entire lives.

    I booked Shannon for my wedding at Fairview Farm right after we secured the venue. After seeing her work, I knew I wanted her to capture my husband and I’s big day. We also did our engagement photos with her and she made us feel so comfortable. Not to mention her work is AMAZING! She got our engagement pictures back within 2 days, and we were very pleased with all of them. On my wedding day she made feel like I was the most beautiful bride in the world. Shannon, you are amazing at what you do and we are looking forward to working with you in the future!

    About Shannon,
    We had no idea who we wanted our photographer to be seeing as our wedding was two and a half hours away from home. Luckily, we were given a recommendation list from our wedding venue and Shannon was listed. We immediately knew, compared to the other recommendations, that her work was a million times better. We did our engagement shoot with Shannon as well. When we received those back, everyone commented on how beautiful the photos were and could not stop talking about the quality. Her photos honestly speak for them themselves but, its her amazing personality that helps complete the perfect photos. Shannon immediately made us feel comfortable during our shoot and her love of photography made it so fun and awesome to watch her do her magic.

    On the wedding day, she made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world. She was so professional... and just fun! My husband and I both commented on how amazing we thought Shannon did before and during the wedding. She was always there in the perfect times. It's like she just knew when to be there and when to give us space.
    We are beyond happy that we "stumbled" across Shannon.

    Our wedding day would not have been the same without her! We will ALWAYS use Shannon for our next life milestones... even with her being located 2 hours away from our home , SHE IS WORTH THE EXTRA MILES.
    BOOK HER. YOU WILL LOVE HER. I promise.

    Happy Clients,
    The Swinfords

    Shannon is amazing! She is super sweet and has a way of making everyone comfortable when taking the pictures. She did our engagement photos and we knew based on those she would be the perfect fit for our wedding photos as well.

She was a joy to work with and we are so thankful to her for capturing so many wonderful moments that we will remember and look back on for years to come. If you’re looking for a photographer that knows her stuff and is passionate about what she does, look no further than Shannon Hennessey Photography!

    If you are looking for an incredible photographer with a warm and endearing personality to take away your wedding day "photo" jitters-Shannon Hennessey is the perfect choice!! My husband and I loved her, her work, and the total experience!! We are both camera shy, but she made us feel special and as if every picture was going to be gorgeous... And she was right! She felt like a part of our family and I feel so blessed that she was by our side the entire wedding! If I could rate her higher.. Trust me..I would! We loved her that much!! Thank you so much Shannon for being a part of "The Best Day Ever"….. for Todd and I!!

    Shannon was absolutely amazing! She was so flexible and made us so comfortable with her (which was important because we don't like our pictures being taken!) Everyone at my wedding even commented on how great she did getting all of those great moments without being in the way. We had a very very snowy wedding, and she even had a backup plan to make sure she was there for us when the weather got bad. 10/10 would recommend!!

    Shannon is incredible. We booked her for both our engagement photos as well as our wedding and have the most beautiful photos I could have imagined. Shannon was easy to communicate with, was helpful and most importantly made us feel very comfortable when it came down the the photo shoots/the main event. We also got our photos back VERY fast. I'd use her again in a heartbeat.

    I am so in awe of Shannon's talent! She has taken the engagement, bridal, and wedding photos of my daughter. Her enthusiasm is contagious and she has been a pure joy to work with. I easily forsee many more photo sessions in the future! We feel so lucky and blessed to have had the opportunity to have her as our photographer.

    I had the pleasure of having Shannon take both our engagement and wedding photos, and I would never have it any other way! The thing about Shannon is that she wins you over instantly with her incredible kindness, making sure that you are not only receiving AMAZING work, but that you feel like you are working with your best friend along the way. She ensures her client's comfortability like that :) Shannon was more than willing to take all of our suggestions and ideas into account, allowing us to choose a location, picture poses, and whatever else we desired. She was always on board for trying new things!

    Not only will Shannon woo you with her professionalism and personality, but her work speaks for itself. She captures moments and makes them amazingly beautiful. So, if you're looking for a reasonable, kind, creative photographer who puts her heart into her work, please look no further. You will not be disappointed with Shannon Hennessey Photography!

    Thank you again, Shannon, for all of your hard work. I smile upon your beautiful art constantly, and I owe all that to you :)

    From the moment my husband and I met Shannon we knew she was going to be the perfect match for us! She is an incredibly sweet, professional, and extremely talented woman! We immediately hit it off joking about our mutual love of Bojangles haha. She made us feel at ease and didn't pressure us to do anything we weren't comfortable with. My husband likes to avoid getting his picture taken whenever possible, but when we left our engagement session he made the comment that he had FUN!! For me that was a huge sign we had made the right choice! We hired Shannon to do our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. She did the most incredible job and we have gotten so many compliments on her work! I am so pleased with our wedding photos, that if I could afford it I would have all of our photos made into canvas prints, they're that good!! I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer, and when we have a family she will be our photographer. In Shannon we have found a photographer for all of our future needs and for that we are so blessed!
