As the saying goes: life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. A quiet moment of anticipation before walking down the aisle, an unexpected bubbling up of laughter, a tender embrace between generations. Throughout your wedding day we are there to capture all of these little moments, as well as all the big ones you've spent so long planning.

"Growing up, my father was a photographer, and I always knew it was something I'd like to pursue. After attending university for photography, I took a few years traveling the world. Seeing how so many different people lived, and seeing so many beautiful places really helped me to cherish the small, special, moments in life. I believe it is something that shaped who I am as a person, and as a photographer."
Shannon's wedding photography philosophy is that your wedding day is a wedding first. Her aim is to capture your wedding beautifully while not affecting the way in which it organically unfolds.

Shannon was an absolute DREAM start to finish. So down to earth and easy to chat to in our first consultation, totally communicative and understanding in the months leading up to our wedding, and a warm, fun and totally professional presence on the actual day!! Not to mention that we are OBSESSED with the photos she took. She's absolutely worth every penny!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding.
Shannon had a great eye for detail and guided us into poses that felt natural and comfortable, resulting in beautiful photos.
We didn’t have to worry about a thing – Shannon’s direction made everything flow smoothly, and the end results were more than we could have hoped for. We’re so grateful for her work and highly recommend West of Yonge Studios.

Shannon was absolutely incredible through the whole process of wedding planning!! She made two camera shy people look like stars! Her eye for details, lighting and poses are stunning - she is an artist. Taking into account weather and needing to be flexible on the day, her quick decisions made us look great and captured natural relationships with our guests. The photos are moments and memories that we will treasure forever!

We couldn’t be happier with our choice to hire West of Yonge Studios for our engagement and wedding photography. In all the wedding day chaos, Shannon was a reassuring and calming presence. My wife and I are a bit camera shy and weren’t sure how to pose. Shannon was quick to give us prompts to help us loosen up so that we were able to get a nice blend of portraits and candid shots. The photos are absolutely stunning and captured our day perfectly! She also clearly listened to our requests such as getting lots of nature portraits and photos of our guests enjoying the reception.
