Wedding & Family Photographer

TIMELESS,

COLOURFUL  CAPTURES

HEY LEGEND!

Its me your Friendly Neighbourhood Photographer, Shannon!

I’m so stoked you are here and might be thinking of having me document a precious moment in your life. I believe all moments are worth capturing

I am located in the beautiful town of Wollongong, servicing all surrounding suburbs, along the south coast, Shellharbour, Kiama and beyond as well as Sydney and the southern highlands. I am willing to travel for weddings and special events.

Specialising in the unposed, and candid.

I cover everything from Couples to weddings, Bumps to Bubs, and everything in between. With a warm, timeless and true to colour edit & some nostalgic & Creative flare. I love Delivering large full galleries full of your precious meaningful moments with your loved ones which you can cherish for a lifetime.

To me, it’s not just about delivering photos, its about delivering a unique, fun and personal storytelling experience, documenting natural, organic moments, In a fun and playful manner.

Lets keep it REAL.

There’s nothing worse than feeling posed. If you feel uncomfortable, it will show in your images. So i will do ANYTHING IT TAKES to make you happy, to have a nice time, to feel relaxed and whether im with you for a 30 minute mini session, to a 10 hour wedding. You will have had a photographer who was like a lifelong friend by your side capturing it all.

I will be so excited to adventure with you, and tell your story. As someone who has lost so many family members, i know the real importance of photographs for you to reminisce on your memories, but also for your legacy, images to leave behind for loved ones.

I am a loving wife of 10 years to Chad, a Mother to 2 awesome kiddos and i really centre my life around the simplicities of life, growing up in the Illawarra with the beach, and countryside right by me. I love pop culture, heavy metal, and nostalgic retro and vintage vibes.

Loving words from Fans ;)

  • Jess & Family

    “ Shannon is honestly, sunshine in human form and she was able to bring out mine and my daughters personalities in the photos because we felt so at ease with her and comfortable throughout the entire process. Since then I have booked a family session in with Shannon and an extended family session for my Mothers 60th Birthday. The photoshoots have always been so fun, light hearted and easy. The photos are also so beautiful and we simply would recommend her to anyone and be using her services again in future”.

  • Shannon is an amazing photographer who works miracles with young children to capture their personalities to create beautiful memories. She is fun, energetic and will do whatever is necessary to get everyone feeling comfortable, having fun and laughing. Her fun and easy going attitude made our photo session a breeze and the results are just beautiful. I cannot recommend Shannon enough”.

  • “Shannon is amazing. Apart from being a fantastic photographer she has the great knack of putting everyone at ease. She is great fun and even the most resistant and self conscious of our wedding guests relaxed! Her photos were absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend Shannon for weddings or any event. You will not be disappointed.

  • We can’t express how grateful we are to have found Shannon! She is incredible in all ways. Her passion for capturing emotions is uncanny- every photo radiates. We are blown away every time we look at our wedding photos. They’re beyond what we could have imagined. She made us feel so comfortable at all times, it was like having a friends around. Thank you so much Shannon!
