Shanoah is an incredible photographer and overall individual!
My now husband Noah and I first met Shanoah in November of 2022. We immediately admired her clear dedication and love...
for her photography practice. Shanoah did our engagement photo session and we loved those so we were looking forward to our wedding day.
To say our wedding photos were amazing would be an understatement. The lighting, details, everything she captured for us was absolutely perfect. She was so easy to collaborate with and was so kind and understanding with both us, our friends, and our family. If you are looking for a professional, kind, experienced, and excellent photographer - Shanoah is your girl! We can’t thank her enough.
We love Shanoah!!!! We worked with her for our engagement photos and our 10/14 wedding. She is absolutely incredible! She's super helpful, communicated quickly and clearly, and was...
so fun to work with. My husband and I are both camera shy, so we were really worried about finding a photographer that we would feel comfortable with. Shanoah was it! Her laid-back energy, sense of humor, and overall kindness set her apart. We were able to relax during both sessions and we feel like she absolutely captured who we are in her photos. She got our photos back to us so quickly both times, and we were blown away by the results. We'll be looking for excuses to show the photos off to people for years to come!!!
Shanoah Madison, WOW. I cannot say enough about her. From the start Shanoah was so supportive and kind. Answered all of our questions and responded quickly to emails. When the wedd...
ing day finally came she jumped right in and captured photos of things we had previously discussed. She was so calm and laid back which made me feel so comfortable. She listened to all my ideas about photographs I wanted and happily accommodated. She worked through the pouring rain and scorching heat to make sure we got our ALL of photos. She worked with us and weather to ensure we got our photographs outside as we had originally planned. She worked well with ALL personalities throughout the day. Towards the end of the night when the dancing began she jumped in and took so many action photos! She worked her butt off to get all my inspiration pictures and many many more. Within the next few days she sent a sneak peak folder and we were blown away! The photos were perfection and even better than we imagined. We are so grateful for Shanoah and all of her hard work. Not only is she an amazing person to have with you on your wedding day but she is also SO talented. I will be using her for all our photographer needs, and you should too!
Shanoah is absolutely amazing.
I am a wedding coordinator. I was lucky enough to work with Shanoah for the first time at Amanda and Dillions wedding on 9/18/20; We connected and ...
I saw how she is like a ninja with her camera (capturing amazing moments at JUST the right time!).
Since 9/18/2020 I have worked with Shanoah a few more times and highly recommend her! Shanoah is friendly, professional, a pro and truly talented.
This fall, as a new mom, I scheduled my first "family" photography session with Shanoah. She took amazing photos of us AND was a baby whisperer. The photos came out very natural VS posed and fake looking. Highly recommend!
BOOK SHANOAH for your wedding, engagement photos, family photos... and every occasion from here on out... you will not regret it!

We hired Shanoah for our wedding on 9/25/21 & she did a phenomenal job! She was very easy to work with & captured stunning photos. We definitely recommend Shanoah for any wedding o...

Shanoah was so amazing to work with from beginning to end! She helped with every detail and made sure we captured every moment of our big day! She is an amazing photographer and pe...
rson, so sweet and fun to work with! She knows what she is doing and how to make it fun for the couple and family! She kept us on time and on track to bust out the photos, so we could enjoy time with our guests. We absolutely love her photos! And, I think the best part is when your own family comes up to you after and raves about how talented your photographer is! She won over our whole family!
Shanoah was amazing. On time, nice, flexible with our schedules, accommodating, professional, and fun. She took the most BEAUTIFUL magazine-quality photos and got them to us quickl...
y. She made us feel comfortable the whole time, was unobtrusive at our party (while still getting some great shots), and was always smiling. You will not regret booking Shanoah!
Her amazing personality and warm heartedness made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun. Highly recommend!!!
I met Shanoah several years ago through our mutual love of a particular musician. As is typically the case, I started following my new concert friend on social media and discovered...
her awesome talent for photography. I loved her work so much that, as a perpetually single (and happy about it) person, I once commented on a photo of hers that, “I’m never getting married, but if I ever do I want you to be my photographer. You just capture the love between your couples in your photos.” It was a true statement then, and it’s still true to this day. I don’t know how she does it, but she manages photograph and exhibit the love between her subjects. She doesn’t just do it with couples either; parents and their kids, and friends too.
Cut to a few years later, I met the man who would turn my world upside down in the best way and suddenly, I was engaged. And what do you know, there was a concert coming up that Shanoah and I were going to be at so we made a plan to do our engagement shoot before the show in a town neither of us were familiar with. Due to the timing of the concert, we had to have a quick session, but she still did her thing and took amazing photos all the same. Where she really knocked it out of the park though was at our wedding.
Shanoah came and took pics of all of us getting ready. We built in time so she could also do pre-ceremony photos of both sides since we weren’t doing a first look. Long story as short as possible…the venue coordinator had known the timing for our ceremony (an hour before sunset) for almost 2 years. She comes to me about an hour before the ceremony and says that due to timing of the ceremony and the sunset, she did not think we would be able to make it to the scenic bridge on their property for photos because it takes 20 minutes to get there and back. Shanoah said it was up to me, but she was fully confident in her ability to shoot fast and get what we needed with everyone all together before my groom and I headed off to the bridge. Venue coordinator pushed back, and me being non-confrontational (even on my wedding day) didn’t want to stir the pot. Shanoah stepped in and advocated for me saying, “She wants the bridge, she’s just trying to be nice.” So we made it happen. BTW, it took about 2 minutes to get to the bridge! We had so much time after shooting there, that we took some more photos elsewhere, and still had about 25 minutes for us to enjoy cocktail hour with our guests.
Finally, I will just add some of what others have said to me about Shanoah from the wedding night and on social media from the sneak peak pics.
~ Every time I turned around, she was right there, capturing the moment. ~
~ She was catching everything, but she was completely unobtrusive about it. ~
~ OMG shut the front door, all the photos are beyond words <3. ~
~ OMG, this is so awesome! You do a wonderful job. ~
I cannot sing the praises of Shanoah Madison Photography enough. HIRE HER for your upcoming anything! P.S. She is ready and willing to travel and has a bucket list of shooting in all 50 states (and Ireland) so hit her up no matter where you live.
Shanoah is the best of the best! She makes you feel super comfortable and helps you take the most natural beautiful photographs. If you want the best photos ever, work with her!! S...
he is so nice and easy going, you can't go wrong!
Shanoah is potentially the best person and photographer on this planet. She captured our day absolutely perfectly, got all of our photos to us super quickly - including the sneak ...
peaks so that you can post on social media. She is so effortless to work with. We did two engagement shoots and the wedding - I am sure that there will be many shoots in the future as well. Photographer for life!
Shanoah was great! She captured the perfect shots and even got a dozen photos the next day for me as a sneak preview! I love so many of them and I cannot wait to see the rest!
Shanoah managed to capture the feelings and emotions behind our pictures. We walked away with pictures of us that are absolutely breath-taking, along with pictures of the wedding ...
party. She even managed to get some amazing pictures of our flower girls and ring bearer (all under the age of 5). She also worked fast, so we were able to get back to our guests in a reasonable amount of time!
Shanoah, from the beginning, went above and beyond my expectations! In summary of the below, Shanoah is AMAZING! If you need a wedding photographer, don't look any further!
From ...
the beginning, Shanoah was very attentive to my wedding photo dreams and answered every random question I had quickly. As a wedding videographer, I knew I wanted perfect wedding photos and Shanoah delivered AND MORE! She became best friends with my entire wedding party and my family (she literally became one of us- we have a ton of selfies with her), she made sure we got through all the photos I wanted AND gave me BEAUTIFUL sneak peaks within 48 hours of my wedding!!!!!!!! She also has such an AMAZING eye for new unique shots and never afraid to jump anywhere for a photo! Not to mention, when my sparklers didn't arrive a day before the wedding, she was able to get me some for my sparkler send off!
Shanoah, thank you so much for being apart of my wedding day and making it perfect!
Shanoah photographed my best friends wedding a year prior to mine. Not only did the photos come out great but I got to see her in action. I was really impressed with how she handle...

ill always cherish forever. Me and my husband both love it.
Shanoah and I worked together for a bit and she photographed my sister in laws wedding. That was when I really got to see her in her element. She was AMAZING. We barely knew she wa...
s there and she captured the most phenomenal photos. I always told her I would hire her when I got married. Well when husband proposed I posted a photo and she commented and I texted her immediately and told her no matter what I needed her for my photos. We chose a date and before I booked anything else, I booked shanoah.
When doing our engagement photos, she caught every single detail that was breathtaking.
On the day of my wedding she showed up and I made a silly face at the camera but saw no flash and asked if I should do it again and she said "no I'm gifting you a video for your wedding" how selfless can you be?!
I still get emotional thinking of it and cry like a baby haha.
She's more than a photographer, she's a friend. She gets every detail, and has fun with it. The photos speak for themselves... She's just..... phenomenal.
I can't recommend her enough to everyone
Shanoah was an awesome photographer. She is so down to earth and real about everything that is going to happen on your big day. Very easy going. Great ideas when it comes to pictur...
es as in angles and different perspectives. All around and awesome person and photographer. She just did our wedding the beginning of this September. Very prompt on getting our photos edited and sent to us.

aged that I would absolutely NEED her as my photograher, no ifs, and's or butt's.
Well...we did my engagement photos this fall, and they.were.perfect. I cried when I got them.
She got my fiance, who I call Mr Personality, to actually laugh and smile. He even said he couldn't believe how good he looked and can't wait for wedding pictures.
Words can't be formed to express how much we love them and how excited we are for her to capture our wedding day, she's simply amazing. She is genuine, funny, and you can see how much she cares. I can not recommend her enough.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

dding photos felt fun and relaxed and natural. She had everyone laughing and smiling, and she is so wonderful with kids (my flower girls are 6 and 18months)!!

Once I have kids, I know exactly where I’m going... :)

w immediately had to have her as my photographer. I got married in February and I don't know many brides in love with winter like me but I warned shanoah I wanted snow, lights, gloves, boots, snowballs I wanted it all photographed, and I got it!! She rolled around in the snow she threw snow and just had so much fun with me and my husband and let's not forget the below zero weather but not once did she complain or have negative feelings on anything we did. The most important thing was me as the bride just totally appreciating the effort to make me happy and make sure it was all what I wanted and the photos were perfect. I recommend Shanoah to any bride and groom that wants all those little, big, and special moments captured and I don't know about any other bride but I was so busy with friends and family and the thank you's and the questions I missed so many moments that shanoah captured and to look at all my amazing wedding pictures I was blown away, she does great and works hard!
