Meet Shannon


Hello loves! I’m Shannon, and I am so excited you stopped by! I am a Boston Wedding Photographer working throughout New England who lives and breathes love stories.

I believe in true love. “The I can’t eat, can’t sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, World Series kind of thing” – It Takes Two (I LOVE this movie)

I believe that your love story began way before your wedding day, and that your wedding day is the start of your next adventure together.

I believe in capturing the organic, authentic, in-between moments when you think no one else is watching.

I believe that photography is so much more than a click of a button. It is capturing the promises, the emotions, and the smallest of gestures that is so perfectly your love.

I believe that people spend their lives searching for that missing puzzle piece in life, and when you find it you never want to let it go.

My own love story began my junior year of high school. Truth be told I thought my husband at the time was loud and obnoxious (and sometimes he still is)! And I was the quiet shy girl. So maybe opposites do attract! Well junior prom came around, and as all our friends started pairing up, fate would have it we ended going to prom together. Quite literally we grew up together from being awkward teenagers, to going to different colleges, to first jobs, and to building our home. Thirteen years later we are now married, have a beautiful home (which is a constant labor of love), the cutest dog on the planet – Chelsea, and our son Leopold, the sweetest most handsome guy we know. Life is crazy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I am a Boston Wedding Photographer who wants to be there for all your firsts as a couple together. I am a hopeless romantic who believes that your love story is the foundation of your marriage. I am honored to be part of so many couples’ firsts as husband and wife, and I am so excited about capturing the beauty of your own wedding!
