Shannon Cronin Photography

Where do I even begin? From day one, Shannon was incredibly warm, responsive, honest, and giving. Once we spoke with her, we knew she was the photographer for us. We really wanted someone who could authentically capture our big day and her portfolio and her personality showed us that she would not disappoint. Once we began working together, I quickly realized Shannon would go above and beyond in all her efforts. Our engagement shoot was second to none - with locations including Big Sur and In N Out. Even two years later I still love and cherish these photos she took and know they will be special to us forever. Our wedding was one impacted by COVID and even when we had to postpone the wedding date to 2021 Shannon assured us she would remain our photographer, whenever the wedding could happen. Last weekend we finally got our big day. Shannon ROCKED the photography, getting some beautiful posed shots but also such incredible captures of real moments of love and fun throughout the day. Seriously, look no further if you want a real and beautiful photography style + a photographer who might literally become your best friend because she is so amazing.

I cannot speak more highly of Shannon and her beautiful work. When my now husband and I got engaged, I knew immediately that I wanted to book Shannon for our wedding. She is so sweet, so laid back and so professional. Her work is gorgeous! We had such a great experience with Shannon from our engagement photos to our wedding day. She turned around a sneak peek of our photos within a day or two of our wedding and every single one of them is beautiful. We're so excited to see the rest and know that Shannon will always be our go-to photographer. 12/10 would recommend to anyone.

I wasn't able to use Shannon because she was out of our budget for our wedding. When I emailed her to let her know, she responded politely and gave me suggestions of local photographers she trusted that were in my budget. I thought this was incredibly nice and spoke a lot to her character! Even though we aren't using Shannon, I wanted to write this review to say in the short time we communicated, she was extremely helpful-even though she had no obligation to be.

If you're looking for a photographer who will spend time to genuinely learn about you as a person, use her years of experience to be an invaluable source of wisdom and calm on your wedding day or special event, and deliver stunning shots that you will treasure for the rest of your life, look no further. Shannon is a photographer that you can trust with the most important moments of your life, without a worry in the world. And in fact, she made ours measurably more amazing just by being there. In our engagement shoot, not only did she encourage my husband and me to experience emotional moments without feeling awkward, but she brought out a side of us that we didn't even know existed. We will remember that experience forever. And the wedding day itself was like we had an additional wedding coordinator on hand. Shannon was a respectful yet confident guide during a day when you're so overwhelmed by it all. My family and friends all commented on how professional and FUN she was to work with, and we all agree that the finished product was completely worth the investment we made in her professional services. Besides the attention to detail in getting photos of all the important moments, her photography style itself is stunning. Check her out on Instagram, and you'll understand what I mean. The way she captures light creates a feeling that is modern, clean, and bright, which is such a beautiful aesthetic for portraits, detail shots, and landscape-style pictures alike. The hardest part is having to pick which pictures you want to print and have in an album!!! Shannon will be photographing a day you will never get to live again, but you can relive it over and over through the magical shots that she captures. Shannon makes the whole experience an absolute pleasure. 10/10 - would highly recommend to anyone looking to be gifted with incredible, lifelong photo memories!!!
