ring the event, and of course her beautiful work speaks for itself. I would recommend her to anyone I know with absolute confidence. Thank you Shannon 💕
Not one negative about this photographer. She instinctively “got us” and we are a crazy bunch. Her artistic eye made a gray sky perfection and she captured every moment of love, sm...
iles, laughter, tears of joy. It was nothing short of perfection and now we have these treasured memories forever . She completed my daughter and son in law’s wedding like no one else could have.
Shannon and Bri were so great to work with at our wedding! They were so kind and our pictures turned out amazing!
Shannon was an absolute blast to work with! She was highly recommended by friends and family (including my now wife) that had met her while she was shooting a wedding and were late...
r blown away by the beautiful photos taken of that special day. We really got to connect with her when we had our engagement session done and could not wait for her to work her magic on our special day. Our wedding photos turned out amazing! Months later, my wife and I are looking at the photos and are still wowed by how beautiful they all turned out. Shannon exudes the artistry, skills, adaptability and creative freedom that every quality photographer should have. She is truly passionate about what she does and it shows! She is personable, professional and has great packages and pricing. We highly recommend her! Thank you, Shannon!!
We cannot say enough amazing things about Shannon! She photographed our wedding in October and captured so many incredible moments. We had a list of poses we were really hoping to ...
get but gave her the creative freedom to identify good shots and locations, her eye for using the surroundings to bring out the mood and beauty is amazing. Some of our favorite shots are ones we never would have thought of. Another aspect that I love is while she included color and black and white images, both adding to the emotions of the shots, the ones that I found myself looking at most had this antique almost sepia coloring. There is just something old time glamourous about them! If you are on the fence or just starting to look for a photographer, go with Shannon because you will not be disappointed!
I have always felt award and uncomfortable with having my photo taken and Shannon made me feel like I could relax and be myself. The whole wedding the pictures were effortlessly be...
autiful. She is an amazing artist and even more amazing human. I’m so grateful I found her and was able to have her be the one to capture the day!

r 12 years, high school sweethearts and finally got to tie the knot after postponing our wedding twice, last may! She was wonderful the entire time and I am a very indecisive person and she was so incredibly patient with me and even though she was having a rough couple month with covid she was always there to help me with any questions or concerns I had. They photos turned out phenomenal and I cried all over again the second I saw them! it was the most magical day and I will recommend her time and time again to anyone who asks! Thank you so much Shannon from the bottom of our hearts!
Shannon Kaye Photography,
We met Shannon a few years back through a mutual friend. I was looking for a photographer to have holiday photos done for me and my boyfriend. I saw her w...
ork and what she had done for us and was blown away. She's taken a few sessions for us, with every one of them turning out beautiful. The color and lighting on her photos is truly magical. After booking her for our September wedding almost a year in advance, we had the opportunity to take winter engagement photos and got lucky when our shoot arrived and it had snowed. Our engagement photos turned out stunning and I got the best compliments on them. I also used Shannon for my wedding gift to my husband. We did a boudoir shoot and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. She made it easy to relax and helped me feel comfortable in my skin. She helped me plan, design, order and even wrap my book for him. Our wedding weekend was perfect and on the morning of our wedding when I found out she had food poisoning, she reassured me she would do whatever it took, we would have someone there. I owe her everything for being sick and still making sure she was present all day. She killed it, and her sneak peeks are nothing short of spectacular. I cant wait for all our photos! Waiting the few weeks for them, is the worst part 😉
Thank you Shannon for all your hard work on our big day. You captured the best parts for us. I'll be using Shannon Kaye Photography for all my photos from now on. She's worth every penny!
With love,
