Arizona Wedding Photographer
Capturing Candid, Emotional Memories that are Soft, Vivid and Timeless
Award Winning Wedding Photographer
I’m so much more than a photographer. I’m dedicated to being another friendly face at your wedding, intent on capturing candid moments—blending artful storytelling with light-hearted personality.
Your friend
with a camera.
I am one of the luckiest people in the world—because I get to do this.
I capture candid and authentic photos on the best day of your life so that you, your friends, children and grandchildren can see and feel all the beautiful moments from your wedding day.
I love working with couples who are easy-going, fun, and authentic. If you appreciate genuine moments and a relaxed vibe, we’ll get along great. I’m outgoing, detail-oriented, and admittedly a little obsessed with creating ‘picture-perfect’ images that are soft, vivid and timeless to look at.
If you’d like to learn more about my opinions and ideas about wedding photography, you can read more about them in my blog here. It’s a good way to get to know me more or just geek out about weddings.
My Process…
Connect
Inquire below and we’ll connect on FaceTime, Zoom or over the phone. It doesn’t have to be a long call, just long enough to meet each other, ask questions and make sure we’re a good fit—I really do want you to pick the best photographer for you.
Engagement Session
I offer $1 engagement sessions (yes, really). There’s no catch and only a couple of limitations (see below). I’ll edit your gallery, host your images and email you when they’re ready—this way, you get to work with me and make sure I really am the best fit for you. The first time we meet in person shouldn’t be on your wedding day. Limitations: 1. Location is within 30 minutes of Gilbert, AZ and 2. You pay any location/parking fees associated with where we go.
Contract
If you love your engagement photos and see me being your wedding photographer, it’s time to book. I’ll send you a contract for your wedding date and the only thing you’ll need to do is sign it (with your fiancé) and pay the $500 retainer. The remaining balance is due 2 weeks before your wedding day.
Plan
In the months leading up to your wedding, we’ll meet at least twice to establish your timeline and plan your wedding day. I’d say about 60% of the time, I end up drafting the first timeline for client’s weddings. As we go, I’ll let you in on all the extra secrets, ideas and things you might not have thought so that you take full advantage of my services on your wedding day. If I’ve never been to your venue before, I’ll ask to attend your rehearsal or will otherwise make plans to visit your venue on another day.
Wedding
The big day is finally here. I’ll arrive early and probably stay late, too—just because that’s what I do! Afterwards, I get to work editing your photos, delivering your completed gallery within 3 weeks. And you? Happily ever after, photos and all.
Kind words from my clients…

Sid + Hannah
Shawn was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, Shawn was prompt, friendly, and incredibly professional. He was also wonderfully flexible, accommodating our requests and working seamlessly with our friends and family to ensure our day ran smoothly. Shawn's attention to detail was impressive, and the quality of the photos he delivered was outstanding, especially given our modest budget. As a shy couple, we really appreciated Shawn's ability to provide clear guidance and direction during the portrait sessions, helping us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories Shawn captured of our special day.

Shawn did a great job! He was extremely responsive to all of the messages I sent him (and I sent quite a few!). He brought great energy to the wedding day. The photos came out amazing, both from his awesome ideas, and his consideration of the inspiration I shared with him. So glad I trusted him for my special day!

Shawn is truly amazing to work with. He took our engagement pictures and we loved his work so much that we booked him for our wedding. He is extremely passionate about photography and brings great energy. You can tell how much he loves what he does, not only during the shoot but in his work. He is very personable and makes everyone feel comfortable. Shawn captured our day perfectly and we could not be happier with the end result… We are forever grateful with Shawn for giving us beautiful pictures to remember.
