Bride is standing in her white wedding dress looking towards the left of the picture. She is very small compared to the huge columns in front of the gettysburg college campus church. The train of her dress is laid down across the steps.

I photograph YOU :

being totally shocked by the groom's brother during the toast.

as your husband tries to undo the tiny strap of your fancy shoes.

watching your dad and niece on the dance floor.

chasing each other with pieces of cake.

throwing flowers on the head of your flower girl while you sit on the floor with her.

finding a shot in your groom's pocket during portraits that he planned to drink to "take the edge off."

Couples who hire me once hire me again because

YOUR real moments of your day.

I’m Shannon, a Delaware wedding photographer who started photographing families professionally in 2012 and now have a decade of wedding photography experience. I thought I would always be only a family photographer, until I photographed a wedding with another photographer. Wedding days are the most family thing that ever happens, and it’s also the day your family starts.

Being a type A person, I trained with one of the top 30 photographers in the world, because you only get one shot on your wedding day. I photograph full-day, extended-day and micro weddings from Rehoboth to Wilmington, as well as in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Welcome to a place where love is documented documented as it really happens, so no one has to say “let’s do that again.”

“She made both experiences feel so personal and comfortable… Our family loved her so much that we hired her for my sister’s wedding, too!”

What Shannon is best at is capturing the emotion of your day!! I was nervous for pictures because I’m not used to being photographed, but I didn’t even notice Shannon capturing the moment.

Megan and her husband hired me again this year for their newborn photos.
