Hi Josie and Shane,

Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding! Kaitlin shared a little bit about your plans and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to present this info to you. 

Kaitlin spoke about your focus on a family oriented weekend- and I can already imagine the photographs of your closest friends and family having the best time celebrating all together! The laid-back vibe and focus on your guests' enjoyment is something I'm all about and I appreciate any wedding where the couple makes that a priority.

Carmel Valley Ranch is such a beautiful location that lends itself so magically to photos- whether in sun or cloud, the valley is always beautiful. There are so many places to photograph on the property that not only is it a photographer's dream, but it means we don't have to leave the Ranch for photos so you can maximize both your photo time and time spent with your family and friends. Kaitlin and I would work closely together to fit in your photography time to complement your day, not take it over.


You deserve authentic moments of joy that
go beyond the standard wedding photos. 

ENJOY YOUR DAY THE WAY YOU’RE MEANT TO WHILE I CAPTURE THE AUTHENTICITY OF THAT FEELING. 

That being said, I know it’s essential that you get photos that go beyond the typical cheesy smiles and traditional poses. To make that happen, you need a photographer who can:

Get clean, vibrant photos that feel natural yet elevated.

Get beautiful photos of your light pink and cream colors, soft, and romantic decor without it being washed out.

Capture all of the moments, people, and details that are most important to you.

Make engaging with the camera (and photographer) an enjoyable experience.


I pride myself on being able to do all of those well.


Below are 3 collection options that reflect wedding day coverage as well as coverage for the other events during your wedding weekend. If one of these feels close but you'd like to add or remove anything, let's talk and make it the perfect fit.




"Her pictures are real moments between people, and when you look at them, you can feel all of the emotions and love that she is capturing.” 

Whether I’m simply observing or offering guidance, I’ll ensure your day is captured as it naturally happens. 

An Intentional Experience that Exceeds Your Expectations:

Rather than creating trendy photos you’ll later regret, I’ll deliver a timeless collection of photos you can reminisce over for years to come.

By answering your questions, providing information, and tailoring recommendations to meet your needs, you know I’m in your corner at all times.

“Shannon is a photographer that you can trust with the most important
moments of your life without a worry in the world.
And in fact, she made our wedding measurably more amazing just by being there.”

-Julianne

The best photos aren’t created by following a rigid image checklist or need-to-capture details. They’re created when the photographer focuses on what’s happening in the moment.. 

I keep my camera aimed at the beautiful, candid moments that happen throughout your wedding day and the little stories that unfold between you and your loved ones - all while keeping your priorities and needs in mind. By doing so, you’ll actually enjoy looking back at your day because you’ll remember how it felt. 

An Eye for Beauty

Simplified System

If you’re like a lot of my couples, you don’t have a ton of extra time to meet or fill out questionnaires leading up to your wedding. 

As a busy professional, I get it. Which is why my process is intentional and streamlined. You’ll always know what to expect, and I’ll always collect just the information I need - without all the fluff in between. With my system, you’ll have fewer things to think about, schedule, or put on your to-do list.


Experience-Focused

Rather than interrupt your moments, rush you from here to there, and treat your day like my personal photoshoot, I respect your wedding day for what it is - YOURS. 

I encourage you to slow down, stay present, and intentionally take it all in. And when it comes to photos, don’t focus on me - do your thing. I’ll be there to capture the ecstatic laughs and tender tears. The result? Incredible memories of an amazing day.

Knowing photography isn’t enough. I also have an innate understanding of high-end hospitality.

So whether it’s tidying up a space, weighing in on the timeline, or reminding you to take a breath, I show up and care for you, your loved ones, and your vendor team in a way that serves your experience. 

Through this approach, you enjoy a seamless, smooth, and wonderful event and have the incredible photos to remember it by. 

You waited long enough for your wedding. I don’t want to make you wait forever for your wedding photos. You’ll have an opportunity to relive your day in beautiful detail as soon as possible - but not at the risk of poor quality. Download and printing rights are always included.


Caring Presence

QUICK TURNAROUND

- Kristina

“She focused on the people enjoying the reception and dancing, the looks on guests’ faces during speeches, the small details that make the big day, etc. It’s been over a year, and I still cry every time I see them. She captured the magic of the day and for that, I'm eternally grateful to her.”

Hi, I'm Shannon

I BELIEVE THAT A COLLECTION OF QUALITY PHOTOS IS WORTH MORE THAN A FEED FULL OF TRENDY IMAGES.

I want your future generations to love your wedding photos as much as you do.
That’s the power of quality
and a timeless, natural aesthetic.

“We loved how Shannon's photography captures the littlest moments and makes everything feel elevated but natural.”

QUALITY | CONNECTION | EXPERTISE

Next Steps

I look forward to talking with you both more about your wedding and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

If you’re ready to move forward - magic! I’ll send you an agreement and a payment link for the booking fee. Everything is done online to make it a seamless and quick experience.

I hope to work together!

-Morgan
