Shannon Z Photography

amless, ensured all of our moments were captured and made sure we kept to our timeline since we had three offsite photo locations between the ceremony and reception. The best thing about Shannon is her creativity to perfectly capture the most intimate moments you'll have with friends & family. During the day of, she made us feel calm and relaxed. I will note she made the planning part exceptionally easy through her online form process and she was quick to edit and give us our wedding photos. Our heirloom album turned out stunning and we're still in awe with how lovely each photograph turned out. We highly recommend Shannon's photography services for your event.

n awesome personality! Love her! 10/10!!

unique settings that match each couples style. She is wonderful to work with and feels like your best friend by the end of your time together. I can't wait to work with her in the future.

I was stressed trying to get everything done. Shannon takes the most beautiful shots that you will cherish for a lifetime. I cannot express how over the moon I am with the shots she took. I also cannot recommend her enough. Please know that pictures are some of the most precious things that you can have.

t we got our photos back, they turned out even better than we hoped for. We can't wait to work with her for our wedding in the fall.

ngth veil work SO WELL with the wind. I’m a very detail-oriented person and she eased my mind about things even before my wedding day, and as well during the wedding day. Definitely going to use her for any other photo opportunities in the future.

hannon is highly organized, a great communicator, professional, and makes taking pictures fun! I was amazed at how quickly she worked while still capturing all the shots we wanted so beautifully. She worked with us to find out what we wanted and then made quick decisions and gave our wedding party simple directions to make the session light and fun. She also was so complimentary of all of us that you could see our confidence shining through. My husband and I are very casual people and we really just wanted pictures that captured our day as it was and who we are everyday. She managed to do that so perfectly while still making it special! I also was so happy with the value of her services. I found her pricing to be well worth it! She had our pictures back to us SO fast, posted a short slideshow she put together, offered ordering directly through her or a recommended site if you want to do it on your own, and the package we selected included photo book. We had everything from her before we landed from our honeymoon and it was all beautiful. You can’t go wrong with Shannon!

locations to shoot photos! We were so pleased with how the photos turned out - I would highly recommend Shannon to be your wedding photographer!

all of our photos back quickly. Shannon went above and beyond to perfectly capture our wedding day and we will cherish these amazing photos for the rest of our lives.

e sure we were making the right choice and choosing the right person for the job. And we did! Shannon took stunning photos and was able to capture beautiful moments that we didn't even realize were happening. From start to finish Shannon has been a dream to work with. She is so kind, fun, professional, responsive, accommodating, and thorough! She even put together a day of timeline for us to help keep our day organized and on track. I couldn't be happier that we got to work with Shannon a few weeks ago, and my husband and I constantly get compliments on our photos and what a great job our photographer did. When the time comes for us to have professional photos again, I will 100% ask Shannon to be our photographer!

rofessional, reliable, and easy to work with. Shannon truly takes time to get to know you and understand how she can help make your day perfect. Shannon goes above and beyond, helping with timelines and making sure all details are in order. We received so many compliments from friends and family about Shannon and her wonderful photos. Our wedding was perfect, and we're so lucky that she could be part of it. Thank you Shannon!

t in her services. We had great communication leading up to the big day. What most impressed me was how diligent she was to get the various sets of pictures with family and friends, which we had give her ahead of time. Additionally, she captured some AMAZING shots. Right after dinner, Shannon spotted a sunset and called us up to the roof at The Atrium. The pictures were so cool and unique. We are really grateful she captured so many details and emotions throughout the day. We look forward to using her for future occasions.

ved on time and was very organized and efficient. I would highly recommend her for any event!

ty in everything! And working with anything and making it look so beautiful! She was on time, ready to work, and had it all figured out! (Which is amazing because we all know what it’s like on our wedding day!) she made it such an easy beautiful experience, and I honestly could not be more grateful!!! Also, she got us our sneak peak, and our photos in such a short time! And we’re absolutey in love!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH SHANNON! ❤️

ct” wedding day. Shannon took pictures of us getting ready for the wedding and surprised us with a 1920’s car to go with our Great Gatsby theme that we took photos with as well. Of course the evening was fantastic and Shannon captured every bit of it, ranging from special intimate moments to guest showing off their sophisticated moves on the dance floor. Shannon was able to get us some sample photographs a day or two after the wedding and they were phenomenal pics! I highly recommend Shannon Z Photography for a complete package professional.

everyone relaxed and bring out the best in them. She's calm, efficient & very thorough. She has a great eye for detail, whether it's taking the photos or making the timeline or answering questions to help plan. And she's fast! My family couldn't believe how quickly we got sneak peeks and finished photos.

We received our book within 2 weeks probably sooner! Then between that and the wedding she sent little notes and things to remind and assure us we were in good hands. After all the checking in and communicating I felt like my friend was taking our pictures which helped relax me a lot! She got every photo we wanted. The next morning she even sent us 3 sample pics to hold me over... they were STUNNING... I don't know how I am going to be patient for the next 2 weeks! I would recommend her to ANYONE for any event and we couldn't thank her enough. She exceeded all expectations!!!!

ts without depending solely on photoshop. Very natural and elegant photos. Can't wait to see how our wedding day photos turn out!

only does she do amazing work but she is so thoughtful too. She sent a hand-written thank you note after we booked her and a couple weeks before the wedding she sent us a Starbucks gift card. She understands wedding planning is stressful and wanted my now husband and I to take some time away from the planning to really just enjoy each other. It was a nice reminder what this is all about, planning a wedding can be overwhelming so I really feel every couple needs that. We got a sneak peak and highlight video back days after the wedding and all of our pictures were done about a week after the wedding. High quality photos and very quick turn around which is nice, I have had a couple friends who waited months to get theirs back. I highly recommend Shannon for any of your photography needs! Our wedding day was amazing, I wish I could go back and relive that day over and over again. Luckily we can through our pictures, she covered every moment and every detail of the day. Thank you Shannon! Oh and just the other day we got a couple prints of our wedding in the mail from Shannon, she was trying out a new printing company and thought we may want to keep them! So Sweet!

graphy and always captures that perfect moment. So when Mike and a I decided to get married it was a no brainer on who to call to help capture the moments of our special day. What I received was exceedingly beyond our dreams. The weather gods granted us our wish of snow and with that provided endless romantic and creative possibilities. Shannon's use of light and keen eye captured detailed water droplets, breaths of cold air and the love happiness that Mike and I have for each other every time we look at each other. Shannon - I can not thank you enough for the amazing moments you have given us.

he made us feel very comfortable and we did not feel stressed about the photography at all. She took all the shots we asked for and more. The photos were wonderful, especially the outdoor shots. Shannon Z has a very good eye for composition and has great skill at capturing a scene with good focus on the subject matter. Shannon Z's price was very affordable for the quality of pictures she delivered. I honestly think that many photographers asking for twice as much as Shannon's quote could not take better pictures. She was also extremely prompt at delivering the final edited photos!

of everything from beginning to end. Always quick on a response and she had our best interest at heart through it all. You can see in her work she loves what she does and does what she loves! We could not recommend Shannon enough! Thank you Shannon for capturing our memories! Jen and Dave May 29, 2015

nd getting shots that we love and will cherish forever. She was on time to everything and did a great job communicating via email, text and on the day of. She really has an eye for the surroundings. She did an amazing first look with us on our wedding day and even fought the cold in February to get some beautiful shots outside in the snow. Everything was beautiful! We received digital copies of our pictures within the first two weeks to look at. Shannon does a great job and brings me to tears every time I look at the photos, she made memories with our photos that will last a lifetime and we are so proud to share them with those close to us! We would recommend her to those looking for a great photographer who is reasonable and easy to work with. Best Regards, The Carney’s

hly recommend Shannon!!! Her pictures were AMAZING!

d and helped us find poses we hadn't thought about. Best of all, instead of directing us into fake poses, we had the flexibility to be intimately silly and she captured the best of us. Shannon was on time and pleasant to work with. We had our images quickly and privately. Highly recommend Shannon Z for your next event!

view, IL. Shannon is based in Kenosha. Despite the geographical locations of all factors, Shannon and I stayed in touch throughout- she even sent little gifts like stress relief lotion, and starbucks gift cards, all with sweet little notes assuring us that everything would be great. It was. Even a day or two before the wedding, when I was running around doing a million things I forgot to send Shannon a list of a few key shots I wanted. So, I had her take a look at my pinterest board. She nailed every one of those shots- I am beyond pleased with how everything turned out, and I have received a plethora of compliments on all the pictures. One of things I think people overlook initially is how important wedding photos really are- you will be basking in the afterglow of your wedding for weeks afterwards, and going over every detail, which is really only possible if you have amazing wedding photos. We do, and I'm so grateful to Shannon Z. for all of her hard work. Thanks Shannon!

ted looking for photographers for our wedding. We looked into several, Shannon being one of them. I "liked" her page on facebook and we decided to wait to decide on which photographer we would go with. In the mean time, a chronic illness of mine, got worse and I was very ill, bed bound and home bound for many months. I had to stop working and our "dream" wedding seemed like an impossible dream both for the physical and financial aspects. You see, I know alot about weddings, vendors, pricing and the one thing I never really balk at is the price of photography because not only do I believe you pay for what you get, but after the day is over (and yes, it really does go fast) what is left is memories and photography. On Shannon's facebook, I saw that she was graciously giving away a wedding photography package to a couple as a way to show her gratitude for her photography success. I wrote a letter explaining why I thought my fiance (husband) and I deserved a wedding. I'm not sure i've ever won anything before, but when she choose us, I was over the moon! We decided to move forward with a wedding, but because of medical bills and such, we were on a very limited budget, which wouldn't have allowed for us to have the kind of professional photography that she was offering us! Because we weren't paying for her services, one would have thought and I wouldn't have expected her to treat us as a "regular" paying customer. But let me tell you, she did, and she was so gracious about it! We received several sweet notes from her leading up to the day of the wedding. She also met with us ahead of time so we could discuss pictures etc. One of the things that Shannon did for us ahead of time that was VERY helpful was give us a timeline of the day regarding pictures. I was able to add to it and base my entire timeline of my day around it. It really helped to make sure everyone was where they were suppose to be and ready when she needed to take specific pictures of each of us. The day of the wedding, she was laid back, easy to be around and that really helped us relax. She was also open to going where ever we wanted to get pictures and she utilized our ceremony venue for some great shots. Within days she got us some sneak peaks and within 2 weeks we had our pictures back! Everyone comments on how great the pictures are, how she used lighting and her artistry to get some really beautiful and timeless shots. I'm forever grateful for her generosity, we honestly would not have been able to have a wedding or her caliber of photography had we not received this awesome gift! I recommend Shannon to anyone for any occasion! In the meantime, my health has improved some and i'm just so blessed that I got to have a day to remember and that I'll have her photos to look on for years to come!

he even made a great montage of photos set to music on her Facebook page that my friends and family absolutely loved. Not only is she a great photographer, but she is a great people person. We had a silly/fun wedding party and she took it all in stride and allowed us to have fun while also being able to direct us and take pictures in an efficient manner. Before the wedding she even mailed us a gift card with a nice letter, which was a great personal touch. Her prices were more than fair for the quality she provides. I would unequivocally recommend Shannon to anyone I know who is getting married.

ing and amazing the day of! Shannon was able to capture my entire day without skipping a beat. Shannon was very fast editing our pictures and I cherish everything she did for us on our very special day!

and was exactly what my daughter was looking for. We are collectively very pleased with the final wedding proofs and are looking forward to buying prints to putting our respective wedding albums together!

ntinue to look through them and cannot find a favorite -- I would highly recommend her for any of your photo needs!! Thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime!

wanted! The pictures were ready before we were even back from our honeymoon. Shannon kept in contact with us throughout the months leading up to our wedding and was always quick to respond and answer any questions we had. Shannon helped to make our wedding day unforgettable and provided us with memories to last a lifetime!

you are looking for. Her pictures turned out fantastic and I could not be more pleased with her work. She is a versatile photographer with a truly amazing gift. I will forever value the memories she captured for my husband and I as well as out closest family and friends. I HIGHLY recommend using her as you photographer, she will not let you down.

. Shannon was very easy to work with, listened well to what we were looking for and was very responsive whenever we got in touch with her about anything. Shannon was very flexible and on short notice even came out to our ceremony/reception site the night before the wedding to make us feel more comfortable that what we had in mind for photos would work. She has a great eye for what will look good and made the experience smooth, easy and really fun! Going through the photos I keep finding little things she did that I didn't even realize she was doing! From the photos its hard to believe there was only one of her taking the pictures! She was able to get all over the place really quickly and without us even noticing she was there! I would recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

). Between the price the flexibility and the outcome of the pictures I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. I will definitely be using her from now on for any picture needs!

s not like posing for pictures and Shannon was able to make him feel very comfortable behind the camera. After our engagement photo session, she surprised us by sending us a Wedding Guest book filled with our engagement photos that we used at our reception. Shannon is very organized and was always quick to respond to any questions that I emailed her. She provided a timeline for us to follow on our wedding day which helped out tremendously to make sure that we got all of the important aspects of our day captured on film. The morning after our wedding, Shannon posted a few pictures so that we could have a sneak peak of the pictures and she later posted a slideshow set to music for us to share with our family and friends. Less than a week after our wedding, Shannon had all of our photos edited and ready for us to view. Our pictures turned out AMAZING. Looking through the pictures is like reliving the day all over again. There wasn't one shot from my wedding that I didn't absolutely love! She captured every important moment along with the silly ones that I never want to forget. Thank you, Shannon! We couldn't be happier.

that will help to make your special day even more memorable. Our pictures turned out great, we couldn't have asked for anything more!!

ures are such an important part of my sepcial day. After the engagement shoot i just knew she was going to be perfect from her professionalism to the quality of pictures. The day of the wedding I was very convident she was going to take all the right picture that would tell a story and would be perfect. When I received the pictures I was amazed at what an absolutly perfect job she had done with capturing everything! All of our family and friends are stunned at how great the pictures are! If you want your special day to be captured so that you can keep the memories forever that is perfect than she is the one to have do it!

et and discussed all options... and the rest is history. She was prompt, professional, and the pictures are Georgeous! We had a Sneak Peek on Facebook the next day, the pictures a few days later available on her site, and she's already emailed me to let me know which I would like retouched before she sends our CD out. We only had the funds to do the CD but her albums are beautiful, and she said we can order after the wedding too if funds permit.

a variety of shots and makes sure all bases of covered. I felt like she adapted to my style and what I wanted my pictures to be like! Thank you Shannon! I would totally recommend her to anyone for any kind of Photos! Shes amazing!

hat some posed pictures were in order, we didn’t want the same old boring pictures you see from many wedding photographers and really emphasized candid, action shots. Shannon was accommodating to our free spirits. She took our ideas and made them a reality for our July wedding…despite the 100 degree heat and sweaty groomsmen. :) We had paid Shannon based on an hourly rate and planned to have all the important events done in that time. Everyone knows that things do not always go according to schedule. Shannon stayed through the Grand March and first dances. She even came back (after packing up and starting to drive home) to take more pictures of my husband and I because she wanted to get pictures of us with the heat-lightning storm going on in the background. Originally, we did not plan to have formal engagement photos taken in order to save money. But, Shannon’s prices were so affordable, we were able to include it with our package. She travelled to several locations in order to capture our personalities. Shannon was patient with including our boxer puppy in some of the photos. We have many of her pictures around our house. When I misunderstood what had been included with our photo shoot, Shannon was pleasant and cooperative. She made me feel at ease and was very proactive at keeping a positive working relationship. Shannon’s professionalism is so refreshing. She gives timely responses to inquiries. Her turn-around time for pictures is fantastic! She had both our engagement shoot and wedding pictures done within a week. Not only did she have them posted up on her website, but she also requested feedback for any changes we wanted. Once she was sure our pictures were exactly right, she mailed us the disc. When people look at our pictures, they laugh and comment on the creativity.

She was very friendly and open to hearing about what we wanted. She was also good about directing people for the posed shots - not easy with a large family. She blended in perfectly during the day and got so many wonderful candid shots that help relive the wedding - not to mention got the pictures up online within a week! We are so happy with all the pictures and found Shannon to be a great deal all the way around! Thank you so much! P.S. We also recommend doing the engagement shoot with Shannon before hand - it was really nice to get a chance to work together before the wedding and she assembled a really cute guest sign in book using the photos. Now instead of just a list of guest names, we have a beautiful photo book with lots of nice wishes from out guests.

wanted and could afford. she was very professional at all times. we were pulled in so many directions on our day but shannon managed to still get us and our out of town guests together for some beautiful shots. i didnt know how long photos would take to get back to us and was pleasantly surprised to see them in about 4 days. great work and very nice to work with!

te and then offer album prices if we wanted them later. From the first time we meet her at a coworkers wedding we knew she would be perfect. She seemed to do what ever needed to be done to get the right shot. She was polite, friendly and blended in with the guest. When it came to our wedding she contacted me a couple weeks before to verify locations, times and what we were looking for. The pictures she took are beautiful, artistic and perfect. The posed pictures are wonderful but the candids she got are so vivid. When I look at them I get all emotinal, the love, happiness and joy just seem to flow from each shot. We would recommend Shannon to anyone looking for an excellent photographer and plan on useing her again for anything we want to remember vividly.

shoot) My husband, our relatives and myself, are extremely pleased with the pictures. Family and friends that were unable to make it to our wedding, looked through our pictures and said that it was as if they "were at our wedding", just because of how beautiful the pictures were. The photo album she made for us (as part of our package) was absolutely stunning and we were also thoroughly impressed with the case she made for our disk of pictures. She really gets involved in your special day by snapping all of the right pictures at all of the special moments through out your day. Every time I look through the pictures, I feel like I relive our wedding day. My husband and I hope to have a family someday and we will definitely call Shannon again for family pictures! Shannon is truly passionate about her work and it is 100% reflected in her final projects. We are so glad we picked Shannon to photograph our wedding!
