    So happy with Shanoah!

    Shanoah photographed our September 2023 wedding. She was flexible, patient, accommodating and knowledgeable throughout the process. She knew what we wanted even when we didn't, and kept photos moving smoothly on our big day. I love the way she captured the details like my jewelry and our footwear, and floated around snapping sweet moments with family and guests. Everyone felt at ease with her bubbly presence and we appreciated her ability go with the flow and to artistically photograph everything with astonishing speed. I'm so glad we were able to book Shanoah!

    Fabulous Photographer!

    I met Shanoah several years ago through our mutual love of a particular musician. As is typically the case, I started following my new concert friend on social media and discovered her awesome talent for photography. I loved her work so much that, as a perpetually single (and happy about it) person, I once commented on a photo of hers that, “I’m never getting married, but if I ever do I want you to be my photographer. You just capture the love between your couples in your photos.” It was a true statement then, and it’s still true to this day. I don’t know how she does it, but she manages photograph and exhibit the love between her subjects. She doesn’t just do it with couples either; parents and their kids, and friends too. Just take a look at our bridal party preview photo she sent me the night of our wedding and you can see it on full display.

    Cut to a few years later, I met the man who would turn my world upside down in the best way and suddenly, I was engaged. And what do you know, there was a concert coming up that Shanoah and I were going to be at so we made a plan to do our engagement shoot before the show in a town neither of us were familiar with. Due to the timing of the concert, we had to have a quick session, but she still did her thing and took amazing photos all the same. Where she really knocked it out of the park though was at our wedding.

    Shanoah came and took pics of all of us getting ready. We built in time so she could also do pre-ceremony photos of both sides since we weren’t doing a first look. Long story as short as possible…the venue coordinator had known the timing for our ceremony (an hour before sunset) for almost 2 years. She comes to me about an hour before the ceremony and says that due to timing of the ceremony and the sunset, she did not think we would be able to make it to the scenic bridge on their property for photos because it takes 20 minutes to get there and back. Shanoah said it was up to me, but she was fully confident in her ability to shoot fast and get what we needed with everyone all together before my groom and I headed off to the bridge. Venue coordinator pushed back, and me being non-confrontational (even on my wedding day) didn’t want to stir the pot. Shanoah stepped in and advocated for me saying, “She wants the bridge, she’s just trying to be nice.” So we made it happen. BTW, it took about 2 minutes to get to the bridge! We had so much time after shooting there, that we took some more photos elsewhere, and still had about 25 minutes for us to enjoy cocktail hour with our guests.

    Finally, I will just add some of what others have said to me about Shanoah from the wedding night and on social media from the sneak peak pics.
    ~ Every time I turned around, she was right there, capturing the moment. ~
    ~ She was catching everything, but she was completely unobtrusive about it. ~
    ~ OMG shut the front door, all the photos are beyond words

    Best Photographer

    I cannot say enough good things about Shannoah and her photography skills. Her photos speak for themselves and you can just tell she loves what she does. My now husband and I found Shannoah at a wedding expo and fell in love with her photos. It also happens that she is our best mans sister. Shannoah is so fun, easy going, professional, made the entire wedding party laugh, and got the most amazing shots. She worked so well with our flower girl who is usually shy by nature. She even works well with dogs. I would definitely hire her again for any more photo needs.

    More than a Photographer

    Shanoah isn't just a great photographer, she is an incredible resource and, by the end of the process, a friend. Just an incredible person, incredible value. The pictures are flat out incredible. She shot everything that we could have wanted and captured our day. Can't say enough - clients for life.

    Shanoah's work speaks for itself: her eye is fantastic, her pictures are beautiful, and she made even an awkward duck like me look fabulous without making me look like someone else. (My wife looks amazing in our wedding photos, too, but I think it's easier to make her look lovely.) Shanoah was both professional and fun. She was happy to work with us to capture any shots we wanted, and had plenty of amazing ideas of her own. I appreciated that she was able to "stage manage" the process and help us get the best poses.

    I was concerned that having pictures taken would be awkward or uncomfortable, but Shanoah put us at ease within moments. She was equally adept at drawing out shy family members and wrangling rowdy groomsmen. She had never set foot on our venue before the wedding, but she was able to find great places to capture the architecture and the light. She also took the time to take family portraits of both our families and some of our guests, which was an amazing bonus.

    I cannot recommend Shanoah highly enough. She is a dream to work with, and I will treasure these pictures for the rest of my life.

    Simply save yourself the time and money and just hire Shanoah for your photos. You will NOT be disappointed. She is extremely well priced (hundreds less than others I looked into) but she is very, very talented. I first hired her to do our Engagement photos as a trial run and was so thrilled with how they came out, I hired her for our wedding and for our small family beach ceremony. She is so friendly and easy going that you are relaxed and end up with great looking pictures. She knows what she is doing, has you pose while still looking naturally, and really wants the best photos for you. She has an eye for unique backdrops and great ideas for detail pictures. She gets back to you right away (email/call/texts) and is flexible in regards to timing. The first time we met her, we were so late because my makeup appointment lasted forever, and she was so patient and just spent the time scouting out some cool locations for pictures in down town Newburyport. When we had our family sand ceremony at the beach the Sunday before our wedding, I asked if she could get some of the photos to me that week so I could have them at the wedding and she got them all back to me in 2 days. Shanoah is awesome at everything she does!

    I loved this photographer! She did photos before the wedding while I got ready, the ceremony, and the reception. It rained the day of my wedding, she was able to get creative and get some amazing photos of my husband and myself with not the standard inside backdrop. She was able to get all angles and aspects of the ceremony (in a big catholic church). She did not miss a thing.

    This photo shoot was for senior photos, on 4 occasions. Shanoah did both my son's senior photos, a niece and a friend's. I was impressed with the sessions themselves because Shanoah is very professional and laid back at the same time. She has a way about her that makes her subjects comfortable and therefore the results in her photography is natural and beautiful. I also noticed how suttle her editing is, making her subjects look their very best. I think her prices are very fair and better than compatible to the ones I have seen in the area. Her wedding photography is impressive. When I have seen her work, I saw she photographed things I would never have thought of. Little details that just make her work stand out. I will always go to and recommend Shanoah's photography.
