YOU & YOUR PEOPLE

LOVER OF NEW ENGLAND CHARM AND MEANINGFUL MOMENTS CAPTURED ON DIGITAL & 35mm FILM.

When I open one of my decades-long photo albums, the fuzzy memories are brought vividly to life. 

The precious little face of my 104 year old grandmama.


The carefree swims at Harkness with my best friend.

My Dad's laughter as we chased kites in the salt-kissed air at East Beach in Charleston RI as a child.

I want to preserve you and your people in the same way. As we plan for your day, you’ll fill me in on all the personalities, relationships, and details that make your wedding unique.

THIRTY YEARS FROM NOW, YOU'LL STILL FEEL IT

What lasts is how it felt. The people closest to you. The connection between you. The beauty that surfaces when you're able to stop managing and just be present.

My work holds both story and style. Your relationships and your aesthetic, together, so the photographs feel considered, personal, and built to stay.

THIRTEEN YEARS OF NEW ENGLAND WEDDINGS

Since 2013, I've photographed estate weddings at historic landmarks, and waterfront venues across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

Details are photographed with an editorial eye, but my focus always comes back to the people. The connection between you, the family gathered around you, and the moments that will matter long after the flowers are gone.

ON YOUR WEDDING DAY, YOU SHOULD FEEL NOTHING BUT PRESENT.

Newport Wedding Photographer

To My Couples,

 

Your wedding photography experience should feel as intentional as the celebration itself.

I approach every wedding knowing that no two days look alike and no two couples need the same thing from me. Some people want gentle direction. Others need me to disappear into the background. Most need both at different moments. I pay attention to which is which.

I guide when it's helpful and step back when it matters, allowing the day to move naturally while the photographs find their own depth. The result is photographs that feel honest, considered, and entirely yours.

With Love,

Shannon

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHEN IS THE BEST

TIME TO BOOK?

The moment you have a date. I book a limited number of weddings each year, and availability goes quickly at the venues I work with most. Reaching out early gives us the best chance to plan together without pressure.

WHERE ARE YOU

LOCATED?

Based in Eastern Connecticut, photographing weddings throughout CT, RI, NY, and MA. Available for destination weddings as well. Reach out and we'll figure out the details.

CAN WE SEE A GALLERY?

Yes, and I'd encourage it. Full galleries give you a much more honest picture of the work than highlight reels. Every wedding day is shaped by its own light, location, and people, so no two galleries look identical. That's by design.
