We appreciated getting to know her before making any bookings, and actually talking with her about what we wanted out wedding day to look like. I really felt like she wanted to get to know us and our vision before she accepted the job. We chose a package that also included engagement photos, and I am so glad we did! Of course, the photos turned out incredible, but I think that having that first shoot with Shannon really gave us an idea of what the wedding day would feel like with her as well. My husband and I were both weary of being in front of the camera, and often feel quite robotic or unnatural in photos, but on the day of our engagement shoot, it honestly felt like there was no camera present. Shannon took on the challenge of photographing the both of us and our horse, who was particularly frisky that day. The weather was also less than ideal, very windy and grey. But once we started the shoot, it was like none of those factors mattered. Shannon had us laughing and talking and just having a great time. She captured all the precious moments with our horse, and made us feel surprisingly comfortable! It was not pose after pose, but rather, she let us just be ourselves with some direction. The photos that resulted from this were so natural and fun! I feel like she truly captured US. The wedding and the days leading up to it were no different. As to be expected with wedding planning, there were things that were out of our control-weather, road construction etc. Throughout all of the stressors, Shannon was there to comfort and reassure us. She wanted to be in the loop when it came to the days schedule, and it was important to her to know what we especially wanted captured. She walked in that day knowing fully what was happening & when. She was ready and prepared for everything! The weather during the day of the wedding was very up and down, and Shannon knew I was nervous about this. Along with assuring me that everything would be beautiful despite the weather, she brought my whole family clear umbrellas for the pictures. We got lucky and didn’t have to use them! But the fact that she thought about us was incredible! Our photos turned out magical, we had no doubts about that, but something that myself, my husband, and my family cannot stop talking about is how amazing Shannon and her team were on the day. We had a very intimate ceremony and reception, so having two photographers, my family and friends got to know them and interact with them. They made our guests feel so comfortable in front of the camera! the pictures captured the hearts of each of them! Having Shannon and her team at the wedding felt like we had more friends there. Although they took the job very seriously, and were always right there for each moment, it felt like they were a part of the day as family! Choosing Shannon to be our photographer was one of the best wedding decisions we made. There is truly no one more perfect that we could have had capture our special day. Thank you Shannon and Team! Thank you for capturing all of the special moments, and for just being you! – Malcolm and Sarah
