San Francisco Bay Area Wedding Photographer
Creating vibrant, emotive, frame-worthy photos that preserve your wedding day for generations to come.
Pop the champs! It's a celebration.
At its core, wedding photography should capture the joy of your wedding day. From there we mix in tight embraces, tears shed, dinner table snuggles, dance floor shenanigans, flower girl meltdowns and every little detail in between. A well balanced wedding gallery captures your day as candidly as possible while adding in a few of those gorgeous portrait photos that showcase how in love you are. Add a dash of sunsets, sprinkle some pops of colors, blend in lots of natural posing & you’ve got your hands on a timeless and magical wedding gallery.

Wedding Day Priorities

Documenting unmanufactured moments

Celebrating you,

You deserve to be present at your wedding. If you’re focused on what’s going to happen next - then your we aren’t doing their job. Let us worry about when to cut the cake so you can relax & truly enjoy your celebration.
Delivering natural &

Those family portraits & couples photos - those are the pictures that will hang on your walls for generations to come. I’ll leave room for creativity and also capture classic portraits your mom will love forever.

"Working with Shannon was a dream. Her organization and professionalism were a lifesaver for me as a first-time bride planning her own wedding. She knew exactly what to do and provided helpful reminders without being pushy.
Shannon's knack for putting you at ease during photos, thanks to her fun and laid-back demeanor, is incredible. The photos turned out amazing, and you'd never guess we were in a dark, outdated hotel room (sorry, Shannon!). I'm grateful for these photos that captured the essence and magic of our wedding day. She's seriously the best in the Bay Area!"
- Jess Method
"Choosing Shannon to capture our early 2022 San Francisco City Hall ceremony was a no-brainer. She's a true delight to work with, excels at capturing cherished moments, and brings an infectious energy to your special day. I recommended her to a coworker with an SF City Hall wedding, and they were thrilled with the photos. We've also had the pleasure of working with Shannon for product shoots and engagement photos during her mini sessions, and we're always thrilled with the results. Without a doubt, we enthusiastically recommend booking with Shannon!"
- Christina Cervantes
