Capture the soul of the moment, and make it fun
Creativity cannot exists without a sense of comfort, experimentation, and fun. By implementing this, I tell your story with warmth, authenticity, and artistry, creating a gallery that not only looks like you, it feels like you.
Hi! I'm Shannon
I'm a Rhode Island based wedding photographer with roots across the country including Virginia, Washington D.C. and destinations worldwide.
With an eye for editorial and heartfelt storytelling, I work with the intention of creating heirlooms—timeless and authentic, allowing your most cherished memories to live on as the works of art they are.
If you're looking for an extroverted photographer to put you at ease in front of the camera, document the most important people and moments in your life, and create a space where every tear, belly laugh, and proclamation of love can be a part of the telling of your story, you've come to the right place.
