Having Shannan capture our elopement was such a special experience! "

The Process
“Hands down the best hype-woman, bestie, beauty-creating artist out there!"
"From the very first message to Shannan, she showed up as cheerleader, supporter, friend and professional. It's rare to find a vendor who so intentionally works to meet you eye to eye - who empathises and wants to feel the emotion of your vision and philosophy, and takes the time to sit with it so she can reflect it back through her work. Shannan's work is so saturated in relationship and generosity at its core, which is what makes her art so great AND why she makes her clients feel so comfortable in front of the camera."
Bek & Sam
"Her warmth, enthusiasm and genuine care shine through in every aspect of her work"
"We truly struck gold getting to work with Shannan on the most precious day of our lives. The photos speak for themselves - capturing the feeling of a moment so clearly and intentionally is a true art form, and Shannan does this incredibly. These photos mean more to us than we can possibly articulate. If you’re looking for a photographer who can bottle the essence of an entire experience into the most beautiful image, all while making you feel deeply cared for, Shannan is truly the person to choose.”
Cassandra & Sash
"You can tell she LOVES, LOVE! Lives and breaths it and its demonstrated through her work. We would be endlessly be recommending her!"
"Shannan was beyond perfect in capturing our wedding day. The quality of work produced is so beyond beautiful. She helped capture and reflect our relationship and true selves within it on such an important day. Her vision and style makes your photos FEEL rather than stagnant. She was very professional and managed to also be a source of happiness, warmth and comfort on such a crazy day."
Talissa & Caleb
let’s answer some faqs
Absolutely! I loooove traveling and will go literally wherever your story takes us. When you inquire with me, just let me know the location, and I'll calculate a custom travel fee for you. This fee will cover flights, transportation, and accommodation (if necessary) in one simple, upfront cost.
I am always SO beyond excited to edit your photos, and I know how special it is to relive that adrenaline and endorphin high from your day. To help you re-live all the wholesome and gooey feelings immediately, I send sneak peeks within 48 hours! You can then expect your full gallery within 8 weeks.
The LAST thing I want is for your memories to be lost, so I go above and beyond to ensure your photos are safe! I dual-write every single photo onto two separate SD cards in camera – this means that if one card corrupts, your photos are most likely safe on the second. Once I get home from our shoot, my first act is to download all the photos onto a hard drive, so your photos are stored in three separate locations!
I highly recommend reaching out ASAP to secure your spot with me! I am often booking out months in advance, particularly weekend slots, and I would absolutely hate for you to miss out!
I honestly think that every single person I have ever worked with has said this at the start! It can be daunting getting in front of the camera, but don’t worry! My approach is all about making you feel comfortable and letting your true self shine. We’ll start with some simple, natural poses, and I’ll guide you every step of the way. By the end of our session, you’ll feel like you’re just hanging out with a friend, and your photos will reflect the beautiful, genuine moments we’ve captured together!
Beyond colour grading and general small fixes such as blemishes or an awkward person in the background of a photo, I won’t Photoshop you. My style is about embracing the perfectly imperfect, so photoshopping you or your loved ones contradicts what I stand for.
I am absolutely not the type of photographer that has a ‘cut and paste’ approach to every shoot. I know that every story is completely different, and I want your authentic selves to be oozing from every image I take. I take great care in getting to know you before your shoot, including revising a questionnaire you will fill out to look for creative ways I can bring your story to life. My background in psychology and English certainly jumps through too - I am constantly suggesting creative and unique ways to artistically show your story visually.
Engagement shoots are one of my absolute favourite ways to capture your love story before the wedding. Many couples get swept up in wedding planning and forget to actually enjoy their engagement era. Scheduling an engagement shoot with me is the perfect way to slow down and enjoy a date night with each other (that you can cherish forever and use for your wedding decorations and invitations!). If you're feeling a bit nervous about getting your photo taken, they’re also a beautiful, no-pressure way to get comfy in front of my camera!
