What makes me different -
Care, before the camera
So when you look back, you don't see a trend, you see how you were truly loved.
Understanding and connecting with you is at the heart of everything. Because no two people are the same, no two weddings should look the same either. That doesn’t happen by accident, that happens because of true care for you and your memories.
I am all about creating an experience where you are so at ease that real emotion can come through. And it's actually fun. Then falling back to intentional and quiet documenting so you enjoy the day as it unfolds. And a sprinkle of gentle guiding for art filled editorial vibes during portraits. Giving you a diverse emotion rich wedding gallery full of beautiful moments that stand the test of time.
Meet Shannon
After 16+ years of photographing weddings in the Bay Area what brings me back to this work is the joy in capturing real unguarded emotion. In crafting images that are intentional and truly beautiful. Connection. Legacy. Real love. Crazy dance floors. Joy. Dad sobbing during his speech. Knowing that as the years go by that your photos will mean more and more. Seeing the loved ones celebrate with you that may no longer be there.
I’m a mix of bubbly, keeping it light and fun, and thoughtful and knowing when needed. I love an iced latte even on the coldest days. My two little girls and husband are my why for everything. I love a serious cinematic art film as much as a goofy comedy. I value experiences, connection (which I’ve mentioned a lot) because it is my true core value. And a good dinner party.
We might be a good fit
If you want to live FULLY FREE in the moment
With trust knowing you’ve booked a photographer who just gets you. Someone you felt trust with instantly. Letting you be free to LIVE in the moment. That's when the photos stop looking like everyone else's and feel exactly like yours.
If you care about the full experience of the day
Because your people traveled to be there. Good food, a room that's genuinely having a good time, and family and friends who feel taken care of from start to finish. And are looking for a photographer who understands how truly special that is.
If you want photos that outlast the trends
Because you know that trends are fleeting, but real emotion is timeless. And means more as the years go by.
