You’ve probably spent a lot of time imagining what your wedding day will feel like.
The people gathered around you. The flowers you've carefully chosen. A beautiful table set for dinner. Your favorite people dressed up, champagne poured, and the feeling of finally getting to celebrate after months of planning.
Maybe you're planning an intimate mountain wedding, a private estate celebration, or a small gathering somewhere that feels completely like you. Whatever you've envisioned, your wedding deserves to feel intentional from beginning to end.
As a Utah wedding photographer specializing in intimate weddings, micro weddings, and elopements, I photograph celebrations with a focus on genuine emotion, thoughtful details, and timeless imagery. I work with both digital and film photography to create galleries that feel refined and editorial while still preserving all the little moments that made your day yours.
Whether you're getting married in the mountains, at a private estate, in Salt Lake City, or somewhere completely unexpected, I'll be there to document not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt to be there.
Utah Wedding Photographer for Timeless, Intimate Celebrations on Digital + Film
For couples who care about the way their wedding feels as much as the way it looks.
Beautiful estates. Thoughtful details. Real florals. Black suits. Long dinners with the people you love most. A wedding day that feels intentional without feeling overly produced.
I photograph estate weddings, intimate weddings, and micro weddings for couples who value good design, meaningful experiences, and photographs that feel honest and timeless.
Based in Utah and available wherever your story takes you.
A wedding day That Feels Like You
You don't need a massive guest list or an elaborate production to have a wedding that feels incredibly special.
Maybe you've found a beautiful private estate surrounded by trees. Maybe you're planning an intimate dinner with your closest people. Maybe the flowers are one of the most important parts of the day and you've spent far too long choosing the perfect stationery
You care about the details, but you also don't want to spend your wedding day worrying about them.
You want to be present.
You want to actually enjoy your cocktail hour. You want to sit down for dinner with your friends. You want to dance. You want to look around at some point during the day and realize that all of the people you love are in one place.
That's the kind of wedding I want to photograph.
My approach combines documentary wedding photography with intentional, editorial portraits, giving you photographs that feel natural while still being beautifully composed.
I'll guide you when you need direction, especially during portraits and family photos but I don't want your wedding day to feel like one long photo shoot.
The photographs you usually love most are often the ones that happen in between.
Your dad seeing you for the first time.
Your friends laughing during cocktail hour.
The way your partner reaches for your hand without thinking.
A quiet moment together after the ceremony.
Your grandmother dancing.
The table you've spent months designing finally filled with people you love.
The slightly blurry photograph of everyone having the best night of their lives.
Those moments are your wedding and I want your gallery to preserve them.
I honestly can’t say enough great things about Shannon. Her talent is next-level and the photos she delivered are absolutely breathtaking. I opened my gallery and immediately teared up. She captured us so beautifully. During the shoot she made everything feel easy and comfortable, not stiff or forced at all. Plus her turnaround time was insanely fast without sacrificing any quality. She has a gift for finding those little in-between moments that end up meaning the most. These are photos I’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s talented, professional, and makes you feel amazing, book Shannon. You won’t regret it.

We had an amazing experience with Shannon. From start to finish, she was professional, kind, and made us feel completely comfortable. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and captured the day perfectly. We couldn’t be happier and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer they can trust.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our elopement! From start to finish, Shannon made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was incredibly friendly and made us feel completely comfortable, which really shows in our photos. On the day of our elopement, she captured every special moment beautifully, and we were thrilled with how the photos turned out. My husband and I are both wedding photographers and aren't very comfortable being in front of the camera. By the end the day I felt like we were just hanging out with one of our friends! Shannon was also impressively quick in delivering our gallery, which we truly appreciated during busy season. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful photographer! I feel like we made a life long friendship and I cannot wait to work with her again!

Kind Words
from past clients
Your photographer shouldn't be another person you have to manage on your wedding day.
I'll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, keep portraits moving, help you think through your timeline, and step in with direction when it's needed.
But I'll also know when to step back.
You don't need someone following you around telling you what to do every second.
You need someone who can recognize when a moment is worth photographing and when the best thing I can do is let you experience it.
Before your wedding, we'll talk through your plans, priorities, timeline, family dynamics, and the photographs that matter most to you.
I'll help you build a photography timeline that gives you beautiful images without taking you away from your guests for hours.
And on the wedding day, I'll be there to document what actually happens.
Based in Utah, but always happy to travel. I photograph weddings throughout Salt Lake City, Park City, Big Cottonwood Canyon, the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah's mountain venues, private estates, and beyond.
Utah offers some incredible places to get married from mountain estates and historic venues to wide-open landscapes and intimate properties.
Whether you're planning an elegant Salt Lake City wedding, an intimate Park City celebration, or a destination wedding somewhere meaningful to you, I'm here to document it with a combination of film and digital photography.
Travel isn't something I want to tack onto the end of my business.
It's part of the reason I became a photographer in the first place.
Beautiful places. Good people. Meaningful celebrations.
I'm in.
