It was a pleasure to photograph Charlotte and Coley who eloped in the Napa Valley. I love the intimacy and simplicity of these types of weddings. They flew in from Southern California that morning, picked up their little cake from Sweetie Pies in Napa, quickly got dressed and met me downtown. Absolutely fabulous!! There are many more images to come, but here are a few for now…….
this is just adorable! and I LOVE that chair!
oh how sweet! i’m glad they had enough time to hire a photographer! some really great photos here, shannon!
Another beautiful wedding at V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena! Heather and Jay came up to the Napa Valley from Vegas, and were so much fun to work with. It was truly an amazing day with lots of love, laughter, and a few tears! Thank you Heather and Jay for having me along to share in your day, and for being so great despite the heat! Much love, Shannon

So pretty! Those shoes rock!
Here’s a couple for Patricia whose wedding I am photographing in July. We started off at Spa Voutique for her bridal make up trial, then headed out for a fun bridal session. I must say, she looks GORGEOUS!

It was a beautiful day for a wedding at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn. Erin was a stunningly gorgeous bride, and Andy a simply dashing groom. The chemistry between the two of them was like magic……. It was wonderful to photograph them, and to be a part of their day.
Thank you to a fantastic team of San Francisco Bay Area vendors who helped make this day extra special. Erin brought her hair stylist up from Beverly Hills…….and I could see why when I saw how beyond amazing her hair was! Be sure to check out Dean Roybal at Planet Salon.

Wedding Coordinator Janece Shellooe ( and team) of Every Elegant Detail were phenomenal at ensuring that no detail was overlooked. Outrageously gorgeous flowers by Amy Burke Designs. State of the art sound and music by premier DJ/MC Ron Grandia. Thanks to Sacie Tamaki at The Flirty Guide!

Everything looks so beautiful. Great job Shannon!
Vanessa and Doug were married at the lovely Hans Fahden Winery in Calistoga. Vanessa glowed from the inside out with a smile that never stopped…… and I knew that is something that Doug must absolutely love about her. Thank you both for having me as part of your wedding day. It was simply beautiful! Gorgeous florals by Julie Stevens Design. Cake by Fleur de Lisa. Music by Michael’s Music.

Congratulations Kim and James, who were recently married vintage style in Fairfield. We started the day with some bridal boudoir before heading out on location for a few fun shots. It was a beautiful day, filled with love, laughter, and tears too. Bridal make up by Shannon at Spa Voutique.

Gorgeous bride! Love your vintage style.
I LOVE the pink shoes!
My brother and his lovely wife were blessed with their second little girl. I drove like a maniac to the hospital hoping to get there in time, but she came quickly. Only 45 minutes old when I met her for the first time, and cute as could be. She nursed, snuggled her Mommy and Daddy, and when she had the chance…….looked at me knowingly with one open eye. Congratulations on your new little bundle!! xoxo

Beautiful job as always!!!
looks like quintessential wine country to me! Lovely!
Spectacular shots. Love this last B/W. Can’t wait to shoot there!
Shannon – Your work is beautiful! I just love that you really pick up on all the special details we work so hard to create for our clients.
Here’s a recent shot of my little man Jake on his 7th birthday a few weeks ago. He’s got the serious look going on, but I still dig it…..

I can’t believe that I have known this little man since he was a year and a half old… I still think of him as that little toddler, and am always surprised when I see how he has grown! Our boys are growin’ up, mama! Craziness, since we obviously haven’t gotten any older.
I had such a great time photographing Lexine and Mike’s San Diego wedding. Friends and family came to town from all over to celebrate. The ceremony was at Cuvier Park in La Jolla, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful! The sun was shining, and the best part was Lexine’s grandpa who officiated. He warmed our hearts with words of wisdom based on 61 years of marriage to his lady love. He talked about taking time to “slow down” and really appreciate each other. In these busy times when we all work so hard, it was meaningful to hear such great advice from someone who’s been around long enough to know what he’s talking about! After the ceremony, we headed to the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego for the reception. Thanks so much for a wonderful day, and to Lexine and Mike’s family for being so gracious. Happiness to you both!!

Beautiful wedding! I’m in love with the bright and colorful flower shots!
What a gorgeous day for a beach wedding! Wonderful job as always. Love the shot of the moms with the cameras!!
what a gorgeous location and amazing images (of course, rockstar!!) One of these days I want to go shoot with you in your beloved San Diego! The ceremony image from above is my favorite!!
Mary Ann and David were married last weekend at the Madrona Manor in Healdsburg. We hit it off immediately, and I felt so honored that they chose me to photograph their wedding day. It was a joy to be a part of such a special time, and capture the beauty of it all. I knew the moment I met them, that they were special people. My feelings were confirmed during the ceremony and toasts……a time when I really get to know more about my clients by seeing how much they are loved by others…..and they are loved! Mary Ann said she wanted to take me back to LA with her……and I was tempted to go! I wish you both many years of happiness!

I love those red shoes!! These images are so elegant and beautiful!
These shots are a true statement to your eye for details (and knowledge of how to get the most out of light) that SO often gets overlooked. Gorgeous!!!!
Thank you so much Shannon and team! We really loved every moment of our wedding. Thank you for documenting it with these beautiful photos! We’re in Paris now for our honeymoon. We’ll be in touch… xoxo Mary Ann
