Let me guess…

You get sweaty palms just thinking about “posing pretty”

I don’t blame you—stiff & choreographed just isn’t your vibe. So why would you pretend it is on one of the most special days of your life?

Whether you’re celebrating with everyone you love or disappearing into the mountains just the two of you, Your love is fire-roasted steaks, belly laughs, and spontaneous camping trips. And as your Alberta + BC wedding and elopement photographer, I’m hellbent on making sure your photos say just that

Hi, I’m Shannon!

That might sound like a lot, but it’s the perfectly chaotic recipe for your fun, relaxed wedding and elopement photos.

I’m not here to direct you into poses that don’t feel like you. Think less nerve-racking photoshoot and more really great date night that happens to be documented.

The only thing I love as much as my wild little life, is making you feel so comfortable in front of my camera and looking at your photos going holy sh*t that’s us!

Photos happen in the natural unexpected moments alongside the dance floors surrounded by the ones you love most wrapped into your most special day!

And that is exactly where I’ll meet you!

Let me put your mind at ease!

  • We’re so awkward in front of the camera!? I hear this from almost every single couple I work with. And every single time their gallery comes back they can’t believe how natural they look. That is not luck, that is my job you will never be wondering what the next step is or feel insecure, I am here to be your guide and make this easy peasy!

  • I’m worried we won’t have enough time on the big day! Timeline stress is real and I take it very seriously. We’ll plan everything together well before your day so nothing feels rushed and you actually get to be present.

  • What if the day goes to fast and I miss it all? It will go fast like BLINK done fast, I won’t lie about that. But that’s exactly why having someone whose whole job is to slow down and capture those special moments. You enjoy the day, I will make sure nothing gets missed.
