Shawon Davis Photography

th, organized, and left us feeling fully confident that she would capture our best moments. She fully understood what we were looking for, which shots we wanted most and was able to deliver on all of that day of. She is so friendly, kind, and all around a fun person to have around on your wedding day. She was always 2 steps ahead of us and captured those intimate, candid, and fun moments throughout our entire wedding. She's truly a great person and talented photographer that you can't miss out on having and if we were to re-create our wedding day, we'd hire her all over again. Thank you so much Shawon!

for photos can be a little awkward but she is so fun to be around that she gets you laughing and smiling naturally. She is great to work with and really listened to what we wanted while also offering her professional advice. Her suggestion for us to do sunset photos was such a good idea I never would have thought of. Nothing but great things to say about her!

and wedding photos, and our parents really loved the photos too (they tend to be more picky and critical about photos!). For us, we really liked the Shawon's photography style, and we think she has a gift for capturing natural moments (in addition to being great at directing and taking posed photos). Our final product photos were super high quality, and her albums are incredibly beautiful. We highly recommend checking out Shawon's work, and if any photos speak to you, you should definitely reach out! The price was definitely worth it for us.

t) but she is clearly a certified pro. We had just had to cancel our big wedding, and were scrambling to come up with a new re-imagined elopement. Her expertise was clear as she advised us on a timeline for our elopement and photos, and she even helped us choose the best spot in our backyard for the ceremony based on the lighting and time of day (using only photos I had snapped of the property!). She knows how to work with nature to bring out the best for treasured moments. One thing I particularly loved about Shawon was how she knew when to let the organic moments happen (she captured so many cute, unexpected giggles) and when to help us with posing to get a prime elegant shot. I don't think things like that are really teachable - Shawon is one special lady!

e extra mile to make us happy. She walked us through every detail and gave us tips as to how we could make the day run smoother. Shawon was absolutely phenomenal!

ng she was the photographer for us. She listened to what we wanted and spent the time to get to know us as a couple to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. All the planning leading up was made so much easier by her check ins and after a scheduling session over video chat a month or so before the wedding, I instantly felt more calm and ready for the big day! The day of was a blur, but I felt so comfortable in front of the camera. Our bridal party and family also commented on how amazing she was. And most importantly, the pictures we received were incredible! I normally hate looking at photos of myself but I find myself scrolling through them all the time. I cannot recommend Shawon enough and am so happy with our choice!

conversation, through our engagement session, until the clock struck midnight on January 1st... Shawon was a 10/10, a bride's dream! She was professional, warm, optimistic, and just absolutely amazing. My husband loved her, our wedding party loved her, and our families loved her! She made everyone feel comfortable and at ease while she photographed us. Shawon's husband Anthony accompanied her to our wedding, and I absolutely loved watching them work together- talk about marriage goals! Shawon is an incredibly talented photographer. Our pictures were gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for anything more. She was able to adjust to the fading light of a winter's day, capture indoor moments with clarity, and glide around a church with ease capturing our ceremony from what seemed like 100 different angles. Shawon captured moments of our wedding that we did not see that night. She captured moments of joy, expressions of love, and celebrations happening amongst our families and friends. She framed our memories, and we will be forever grateful to her for capturing the best day of our lives. We recommend her to any couple looking for a genuine, down to earth photographer with unbelievable talent.

so glad I did because she was our dream photographer and in our budget!! Booking her to be our wedding photographer was the best decision we made when planning our wedding on Cape Cod this past August. From the moment I spoke to her on the phone, I knew that this warm, kind, calm, and organized person needed to be part of my day. Every time I talked to her throughout the process I instantly felt more relaxed. She was an incredible help for us, guiding us through a lot of important wedding details including planning our day of schedule and keeping us on time throughout the wedding day. In person she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very detailed oriented and gives clear instructions for photographs, but more importantly, she helped us stay relaxed and enjoy every minute of our engagement and wedding photographs. Every person we talked to throughout the planning process only had good things to say about Shawon when we told them she was our photographer, and every compliment we heard she absolutely deserves. Our guests all loved her, and our photographs are stunning. She captured all of the emotions of our wedding day perfectly. We have a beautiful candid shots as well as elegant portraits. Shawon really puts her couples first. At both our Engagement shoot and Wedding we were getting ready to say goodbye to her when I realized I wanted just one more photo. Shawon was willing to stay extra to get a few more photographs, and I am so grateful to her for that. For our engagement shoot we brought our puppy and Shawon did an amazing job of capturing some adorable photos of us with him. In terms of communication, Shawon is very quick to respond to emails and delivered both our engagement and wedding photos before the promised date. I hope we can find some excuses to do more photoshoots with Shawon because we just had so much fun working with her and every penny we spent was well worth it. I tried my best, but I don’t think this review does her justice. Seriously if she is available for your wedding book her this minute!!

d all of our questions and even sent us gifts throughout the planning process. She ensured everything ran smoothly and that we took all the photos that we wanted. Our families couldn't stop talking about how great Shawon was and how amazing all our photos are. We loved working with Shawon and would highly recommend her!

istics of the big day. I could not more strongly recommend a photographer.

he time to get to know us, understand what types of pictures we're looking to have, and her fun and charming personality. Shawon is passionate about photography, and it is evident through her work. We are highly impressed with the quality of the photographs and her quick turnaround time on both engagement and wedding pictures. From the lighting and composition to the actual moments captured, we could not ask for anything better. Since our wedding, we have received numerous compliments from our family and friends on not only the photographs but her professionalism and warm personality. Shawon’s photographs are beyond what we could have envisioned for our big day. We cannot express how grateful we are that we chose her as our photographer. She was hands down our favorite person to work with as we planned our wedding, and by the end felt more like a family friend we had known for years rather than a vendor. If you are looking for a wedding photographer you can trust, capture your special moments, and celebrate with you, look no further than Shawon Davis Photography.

who lights up a room and has an infectious joy and energy that those around her take on. She is detailed, meticulous and well planned to execute your day of shooting. On top of that, she is cool as a cucumber at work and made sure that I was too. Leading up to our wedding day, I was struggling to get a finalized timeline from the hair/make up team. Shawon made sure we had multiple possible photo timelines for pre-ceremony shots planned out so that regardless of what the final timeline was from hair/make up, we’d be ready to roll. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable with the plans and that we’d be getting the desired photos that we wanted. Not only that but she also scouted a few areas for our wedding party pics- we had such a large group that some areas we had previously thought of weren't going to work spatially. Something that hadn't even crossed my mind and Shawon was on top of finding suitable group shot locations for 20 people! (food for thought if you're going to have a large wedding party) When I started my wedding photographer search, I was surprised that it was somewhat hard to find someone who shot clean, natural light, well. The age of Instagram has generated many more photographers that shoot with overexposed light and darker moody tones. Vibes I was not looking for. Not only is Shawon’s style clean and timeless, she captures the moments impeccably! All of our wedding photos came out incredibly!!! It’s going to be very hard to narrow down our favorites, a physical wallpaper in our house would be more realistic to be able to display all the photos that we love. Even our friends and family who have viewed our wedding gallery have commented that every single photo is perfect and there isn’t one bad picture in the bunch. She truly creates a work of art in capturing the special moments of the day. We have countless photos that we are going to cherish for the rest of time and shots that bring us right back to that moment of the day. We were so lucky another local vendor recommended Shawon as a photographer. It’s been such a joy getting to know and work with Shawon and we look forward to working with her again. We absolutely recommend her to capture those intangible moments you hope to preserve on any special occasion. Our 20 person wedding party loved her and you will too. She will knock it out of the park for you!!

anted someone who could successfully capture the diverse skin tones in our families, make the experience fun and laid-back, create an album that highlights our personalities and love, and who could impress my photographer husband:). Shawon exceeded all of our expectations, and I am so grateful that we chose her! It was so hard to say goodbye at the end of the night because I felt like one of my friends was leaving. You will 100% not be disappointed if you choose Shawon to capture the best day of your life!

in a timely manner, and made us feel comfortable to ask as many questions as we wanted. My husband and I are very detail oriented people and Shawon was always two steps ahead of us. We felt completely at ease and comfortable with her taking photos on our wedding day, and our comfort level truly shows in the photos. Our family and friends raved about Shawon's work and her warm personality. Our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous and capture the essence of our wedding day. When we look at our photos, we are transported back to the feelings of joy, excitement, and love that we felt on our wedding day. Everyone is in awe of our photos with many people telling us to submit them to wedding magazines. We know we will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever.

ds and family fell in love with her personality and she kept us all feeling comfortable all day. Organized is an understatement, Shawon was like having a second wedding planner on board! If you are looking for the perfect fit - look no further, you found her!

omeone we hired for the big day. She is phenomenal at preparation, incredibly organized, had some fun surprises for us along the way, and is one of the kindest and loviest people you will ever meet. Her positive and bubbly energy on our wedding day was exactly what we needed, and we felt so comfortable. Our photos were INCREDIBLE and we could not have been happier. Multiple friends and family members have said they plan on booking her for their special days, and we’ve told them it would be their best wedding decision. We will 100% be lifelong customers!

ant, there is no way I would have even considered another photographer to capture our day. Shawon made the entire process seamless. We booked her in May of 2018 for August 2019, and throughout that huge span of time she checked in with us, scheduled our engagement session, worked with us on our day of timeline and kept us completely in the loop and up to date on exactly what we could expect from her. My husband and I have both never liked photos of ourselves and always felt awkward in front of the camera. Being with Shawon was like being with a good friend and we could not have been more comfortable or more pleased with every photo she took that day! Our only challenge is picking the ones to display, because we want to show them ALL off! Her positive energy and light hearted, yet efficient, attitude made what we expected to be a stressful day feel breezy. I honestly feel like a weight was lifted as soon as Shawon arrived and with her direction and talent I felt completely at ease. My philosophy was after the cake is eaten, the flowers are wilted, and the dress is tucked away, all you have physically left from your wedding day is your pictures. This was truthfully the most important aspect, one I didn’t want to skimp on and honestly had incredibly high hopes and expectations for. Shawon not only met but overly exceeded all expectations. She’s personable, thorough, and just all around great at what she does! If you want absolutely stunning photos and the chance to work with an amazing person, Shawon isn’t only the best choice; she’s the only choice!

she has a way of bringing out the natural beauty and essence of every couple she photographs. A few minutes into our first phone call Shawon made us feel completely at ease. She has such a warm, inviting personality and made us feel like we had known her for years! Throughout the planning process she proved to be incredibly organized, professional, trustworthy, and she made each step extra special by throwing in surprises along the way (don’t want to give away too many details though!). Shawon is an incredibly talented photographer, but she’s also a stylist, confidant/therapist (!), professional poser (I’ve never seen my arms look so thin ;) ), and if I’m being honest, the closest thing to a fairy godmother there is. She was accommodating to our needs and made things so smooth throughout the process and on the big day. She anticipated every minute of the wedding day and seemed to effortlessly snap every photo we dreamed of. She delivered our photos so quickly and they are absolutely breathtaking (happy tears all over again!). She somehow managed to capture the indescribable feeling of our wedding night and all of the love and energy from our friends and family - it’s a priceless gift we’ll have forever. We’ll be forever grateful to Shawon and would recommend her to any couples (or anyone!) in a heartbeat. We love you, Shawon - thank you again!! Cara & Chichi

ry easy to work with and takes the time to get to know you and your fiance. You would be lucky to have her capture your day.

s needed. She even was able to adapt on the fly and get in some last minute request shots that we wanted. We are in love with all our pictures and would love to work with Shawon again.

. Shawon is a true professional always knowing to take the right pose at the right time and at the right angle. I would highly recommend her. Best, Katrina Moshos Greek Wedding.

hleen and Mike and her professional skills merged to produce photographs with outstanding composition, lighting, color, clarity, AND spirit! She captured the love and joy Kathleen and Mike shared with one another and with their families and friends. Every wedding photo, from the "getting ready" and the "first look" to the ceremony and the last dance of the evening, is a testament to this spirit. Our family will enjoy these photos over and over in the days to come. Shawon loves what she does - she seems to be always smiling! - and we love her and her marvelous photography. You will, too!

sant and positive temperament and attention to detail made her an asset to our wedding day running smoothly. I underestimated how important the photographer is to keeping a smooth wedding day timeline and feel so grateful I had Shawon there to guide us. It was also a joy to plan and correspond with her in the months leading up to the wedding. She was by far our most engaged and thoughtful vendor and I can't imagine getting married without her!

perfect for counteracting my pre-wedding craziness. During every step of the process, Shawon was knowledgeable and organized. She also went above beyond to get to know us, reaching out through handwritten notes and sweet surprises in the mail. She was a joy to work with on our wedding day and sent us a beautiful preview of the photos she had taken just days after. So far the photos are amazing, and I can’t wait to see the rest of them. Thank you Shawon!!!I cannot say enough!!
