About this vendor
Your wedding isn’t a photo shoot… it’s a living story. From the teary-eyed first look to the ridiculous dance floor moves, I’m there to capture it all in a way that feels true to you.
I blend into the background when you need space, and step in when you need guidance. No stiff poses, no fake smiles… just images that make you feel like you’re right back in that exact moment every time you look at them. 🤍
Based in Virginia, I photograph weddings and elopements anywhere love takes you. Because your story deserves to be told honestly, beautifully, and with a little bit of edge.

e us feel so comfortable and knew how to make us pose without making the photos look posey or generic. Her communication is ON POINT. She communicates well beforehand how to prepare with a helpful list and tips on tricks on outfits. She is up front on pricing and works with you to make sure you are in your budget. Can't rave about her enough. Hire this girl for your wedding.

d so much fun at our shoot with Shannon. She is so relaxed and makes you feel completely at ease. She has a great artistic eye, and found some really creative ways to make our photos unique! She even showed up to our location early to scout out beautiful and exciting places to take pictures. Her turnaround time was very quick, and my fiancé and I could not get enough of looking through the pictures.. each one was more beautiful than the last!
