    Beautiful wedding photographs

    Shannon was very personable and we felt very comfortable with her. She was very knowledgeable about when and where to take our wedding pictures. We were married on the beach just before sunset and the pictures came out beautiful. She has reasonable prices and got the pictures to us quickly.

    Genuine, professional and punctual.

    Shannon made our wedding photography experience! She was always prompt in her responses, easy to work with the time difference (i live in California), and extremely professional. We felt so comfortable with Shannon, she was a pleasure to work with. Our pictures were breathtaking and told the story of us. I would hire Shannon again in a heartbeat.

    We really hit the jackpot when we found Shannon! She is so sweet and laid back but at the same time very professional. She made me and my husband feel like rockstars both during our engagement photos and on our big day. She was super fast with sneak peak photos and our wedding photos came in right on time! With the quality of work she provides, you could almost expect to pay double what she charges but her wedding packages are very reasonable! She is flexible with the package details as well, we added in a second photographer and a few extra hours of coverage. It really says something when I can look at a picture from my wedding day and feel all of those emotions all over again, I actually cried when I first saw the photos (happy tears!). I wish I could attach all of the photos she took but the files seem to be too large. Please, please check her work out on instagram or facebook and book for your wedding, engagement, family session, or just because! You won't regret it!

    I cannot say enough positive things about Shannon and her work! Once my sister decided she wanted to have a destination wedding in Hawaii, I started searching for wedding photographers in Honolulu. It's a big decision and there seem to be endless options! I couldn't be happier with our decision to hire Shannon to shoot my sister's wedding photos! She was extremely responsive to emails and texts, and accommodated our last min requests. We were totally blown away by the sneak peak photos, especially with her candid shots that perfectly captured the day. She was a pleasure to be around and very easy to work with. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos and can't recommend her highly enough!

    Shannon was great to work with from beginning to end. Her wedding package prices are budget-friendly, and her quality is still top-notch. She is quick to respond to emails, very consistent and reliable. Neither my new-husband or I are very good at posing and all that; Shannon was really great about giving us specific directions on how to move our heads and hands and all that without looking too stiff/posed. It was exactly the type of direction that we needed! She is great at putting you at ease and chatting with you, but don't let her friendly demeanor fool you--she is still keeping that professional eye out to capture those great shots. I was so impressed when I saw our sneak peaks--she really takes into account the framing and environment to capture some stunning shots!

    Great experience in Hawaii!

    We booked Shannon a year ago for a small vow renewal at the beach. Shannon was great at responding to my emails, and the photos were amazing. Thanks Shannon!

    Good experience!

    Pros: Shannon did a beautiful job; she got some great shots, and the photos are very soft and romantic looking :) Her turn-around was fast and she was overly generous on providing photos to us, for which we are super grateful!!

    Cons: There were a few key family shots that were missed, but I attribute this to our timeline being all out of whack due to a car accident on the road to the location, which obviously isn’t her fault! One thing to note - other people (friends, family) taking photos is a huge no-no with her.

    Overall - though - she’s a good photographer that is responsive and has fast turn around time - I would definitely recommend her!

    Great Value

    After doing a lot of research, I found Shannon's pricing and photo quality to be the best value on the island. If you are looking for a photographer with an energetic personality that can wrangle a big crowd, she's a great choice.

    Excellent Photographer

    We booked Shannon after our previous photographer backed out last minute, and Shannon was wonderfully able to squeeze us in. I was delighted to be able to book her as I love her style. In the beginning one difficulty we came across was knowing whether or not we needed to fill out a form for her to get on base and mainly communicating over email. If anything, I would just recommend, as with any vendor, to speak with her over the phone. Shannon was great, she came early and sat with the girls before she was scheduled to start, which was really nice as I’m not one to usually be in front of the camera; she was friendly and warm, and was helping to calm the nervous bride. :) We were wishing we had gotten more pictures from before the ceremony, but we understand that it was difficult as we were all still scrambling about last minute.
    If you are thinking about going with Shannon I would definitely tell you to go choose her. She was wonderful and made you feel like you have known each other for ages. And every time I see her pictures, whether ours or someone else’s I really do get excited how wonderfully done they are.
