Shannon was our wedding photographer and it was such a dream working with her and her team. She brought every single aspect of my vision to life for both our engagement shoot and the wedding day. Our guests are still raving about how incredible our photographer was. Thank you, Shannon for perfectly capturing this important day for us!
I have had the pleasure of working with Shannon for my engagement photos, bridal shower photos, and my wedding day photos! The photos speak for themselves but what they don’t show is how truly awesome Shannon and her team are to work with. She ran the show on our wedding day...keeping us on schedule, gathering people for photos, and ensuring all the details were captured. She also gave me nearly 200 preview photos in 48 hours!!! Amazing! Everyone keeps asking me who my photographer - that's when you know they did a great job!! Shannon is a true professional and so dedicated to her clients, and I can’t thank her and her team enough for the amazing job they did on my wedding day and I can't wait until we get to work with Shannon again!! I HIGHLY recommend SMS Photo for all of your photography needs.
Shannon was amazing to work with. My husband and I are not exactly great in front of the camera and she coached us through each photo while still getting an effortless and candid looking result. The photo quality is stunning and her second shooter and assistant were both great as well. I received a preview of 140 photos within a few days and I’m dying to see the rest! Shannon is worth every penny!
Choosing SMS Photo for our wedding was the absolute best decision we made! Shannon and her team created such a unique and personal experience -- she even hand-picked wisteria leaves to include in my detail shots! Her expertise helped keep the day smooth and stress-free, and she never hesitated to step in and help if I needed it. Our wedding photos are natural, authentic, incredibly sweet and something we will always cherish. Her talent and creativity has blown us away! Shannon is organized, passionate and SUCH a pleasure to be around, we cannot recommend her highly enough!
Shannon is simply amazing! My husband and I heard about Shannon through a friend who had used her for her own wedding. After first meeting her at our engagement shoot, we were so happy with our choice. Shannon made us feel so comfortable throughout our special day. She listens to exactly what you want, and the results are breathtaking. I would recommend Shannon to help you capture your special day, we are so thrilled she was a part of ours!
We could not be happier about the experience we were lucky enough to have with Shannon and her second shooter Scott. Shannon was truly born to capture moments you want to remember for a lifetime and takes that responsibility incredibly seriously. We are in awe of the photos she took for our engagement and even more so with our wedding photos (I didn’t think that was possible!). We wanted a mix of posed and candid shots in a variety of locations and Shannon was more than happy to accommodate that vision. It’s been almost 4 months since our wedding and I still find myself gushing over our memories daily. If you are in the market for a wedding photographer, hire Shannon! You will be so happy you did 🤍
ABOVE AND BEYOND. Shannon is amazing! We could not be happier with our photos!
1000/10 recommend Shannon (and her team) to capture your special day. Photos are forever and she does not disappoint. Shannon is beyond talented at her craft and truly is amazing to work with. She is timely, patient, organized and really just knows what she's doing... exactly what you want in a wedding photographer. We are so glad we chose Shannon, I will recommend her a million times over!
Shannon was amazing to work with. She was fun, professional, and put us at ease when we first met her. She did an incredible job on our engagement photos and helped make sure we were ready for our wedding day. On the day, her and her assistants Molly and Scott were beyond fantastic! They were energetic, flexible, and did a wonderful job capturing our day. Shannon is also the flat-lay queen and even brought a bag of ring boxes and other props – we were beyond impressed!
My now husband and I are so incredibly thankful we chose Shannon to capture our wedding day, and our engagement shoot beforehand. Shannon made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, we had SO much fun with her at our engagement shoot that my husband even remarked how excited he was to see her again on our wedding day! Our wedding day was captured perfectly. Shannon is so organized, timely, and beyond flexible. She truly listens to you and does everything to capture your photos exactly how you describe. We’re already looking for a reason to set up a shoot with her again! We couldn’t recommend SMS Photo more, and are SO glad we hired her.
We found Shannon after searching through our wedding venue's same photo albums and her photos immediately caught our eyes. When we continued to view her work we knew she was going to be the photographer who would be able to capture our vision. We first met Shannon at our engagement shoot. It was so incredibly helpful to meet her and get to know her ahead of time. We felt like she also got to know us as a couple and try out tons of different poses to see which we are most comfortable with. We loved our engagement photos SO MUCH we put them on literally everything we printed for our wedding (save the date, back of bridal shower invite, and back of wedding invite). Then the day of our wedding came. Shannon already knew exactly which images we wanted the most based on the questionnaire she had us fill out. She made sure everything went seamlessly on our wedding day. She helped us stick to our timeline, get all the shots we wanted, AND got us to our cocktail hour which was a huge must for us. We got a sneak peak of our photos and every single picture was beyond amazing. She captured our personalities perfectly and captured our vision exactly. The perfect mix of posed and candid shots that captured our personalities. We are so excited to see the rest of our photos. Shannon is so kind, warm, and calming. She was an incredible presence to have on our wedding day. We were so happy to have her shoot our special day. Shannon is one incredibly talented photographer. If you are looking for the best of the best...look no further!!! Thank you again, Shannon xoxox Jenna and Nick Velardi
I can not say enough amazing things about Shannon. First off, no man loves to take pictures let alone engagement pictures. We left our enagement session feeling so comfortable and so at ease knowing our pictures are going to be nothing short of perfect. Shannon gives you a "Sneak peak" shortly after which makes you so excited and eager for more. Let me tell you, WOW. Knowing how good these photos were, we could absolutely not wait to see our wedding photos. Shannon is such a kind soul and is so wonderful to work with. Her photos bring such warmth to every shot and we are so excited to see the final products. I would highly recommend Shannon to anyone who wants their lives perfectly captured.
Shannon is the best! She’s got an eye for the details and makes everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her natural light style is timeless and she’s got a great list of packages to chose from. She gave us just what we asked for!
Shannon is the best! I just got my pictures back and I love them! Working with Shannon is so easy she is there every step of the way and really helped me with planning the timeline for my day. Shannon is so nice and blended right in with our bridal party!
