Shannon Collins Photography

I could gush about our experience with Shannon for hours. She is absolutely amazing. We first met her in person at our engagement shoot, where she was adorably 8 months pregnant and handled the summer heat and our change of locations like a champ, all while calming our nerves and making us feel super comfortable as we had never had a photo shoot before and have no clue what we were doing! You can tell she loves what she does and makes finding the perfect shot look easy, which is obvious just by looking through her impressive portfolio. I knew after that our wedding pictures would be amazing, and boy did she deliver! The mix of candid shots and posed shots creates a beautiful story of the day, and I think she captured the joy and love during the first look, ceremony and reception flawlessly. I love being able to constantly relive the day by going through the album that she astonishingly got back to us in 1 week! She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. Her ability to make everyone feel comfortable and excited in front of the camera is rare to come by and I am so thankful we chose her as our photographer. I highly highly recommend Shannon and I look forward to using her for lifestyle milestone photos in the future! Thank you Shannon, you are the best!

My husband and I are so happy that we found Shannon to shoot both our wedding day as well as engagement photos. Her photography skills are impeccable. She seemed to capture each moment of our wedding as though she was telling a story through her camera, and looking through the photos now, I get to relive the day through them. She was able to capture all of the moments that I wanted to remember as well as some that I completely missed in a beautiful, heartfelt way. She’s also just an awesome person! She made the awkward process of being photographed very fun, and made my husband and I feel at ease. Also, every time I had a silly question leading up to the big day, she was always very quick to respond and provided very detailed answers. I would recommend her for any milestone in life that you’d like to remember forever, and am definitely keeping her in my address book for events in our life down the road!

My oh my, what can I say about Shannon Collins? She is an amazing photographer and a quality person, and her work is beautiful and inspiring. Here’s some reasons why she’s the best:
1.) Shannon was a big source of support since the moment she arrived at our hotel to start shooting. Because she was so involved with the wedding since the moment we booked her (engagement photos, scouting sessions, etc.) she knew exactly what we wanted, so I was able to rely on her and trust she would capture our day in the most beautiful and appropriate way. Also, she’s fun to talk to and definitely not boring! You want this chick hanging out with you when you’re getting ready!
2.) I am not photogenic and I can safely say that I look beautiful in Shannon’s photos. She’s really great at recognizing the best angles, light, and pulling everything together to create the best shot. She also provides insightful direction which was definitely helpful!
3.) Her second shooter, Pete, is amazing. The two of them are an unbeatable team. Even though we had a small-​ish wedding, we’re so glad we decided to book Pete as well to capture moments we didn’t think about, like cocktail hour, and all the dancing!
4.) Both Shannon and Pete are ultimate professionals. They treated my husband and I so well, and were so friendly and kind to all our family and guests. Also — they don’t hover or swarm around you like vultures for a good shot. They’re respectful of your space and there when you need them! They’re pretty much like magicians.
5.) Shannon tells an amazing story with her photos. When we received the finished product (in a very timely manner, I might add), they were arranged in such a way that my husband and I were able to re-​live the whole day as we scrolled through the images. We were amazed with every photo and how Shannon wove them together in a thoughtful and beautiful way.

Shannon’s services have been amazing all around. She loves what she is doing and her love and care for her work shows in every picture. She shot our intimate backyard wedding with a self-​uniting service. We wanted our pictures to very natural and not posed, so we asked her to just take pictures of the service and our celebration without any formal posing. The pictures came out beyond beautiful. Both, my husband and I, are so happy with the pictures and have not stopped talking about them. Shannon has such a great eye for being in the right spot at the right moment and take amazing pictures that look both beautiful and completely natural. We did not regret our decision not to pose. We have so many happy moments that were captured by Shannon and posed pictures could never display such honesty, joy and love. Asides from the quality of her pictures in capturing us, lighting and color, Shannon’s turn around time for editing our pictures was also very fast.
I have already recommended Shannon to many of my friends and will continue to do so. Thanks to her, we have hundreds of pictures to relive our special day over and over. Thank you Shannon for your amazing services!

Fromage Photography is one of the best photography companies around. Unlike other photographers I’ve dealt with, Shannon exudes a sense of joy and lightheartedness that shows in her photographs. Her enthusiastic attitude toward her photos and subjects, creates a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Her style of shooting is flexible and open to suggestion, however, her excellent eye and attention to detail really gives you a sense of confidence in her work. I would recommend Shannon to any couple or pet owner looking to adorn their home with some fun and interesting photos with the ones they love.

My fiancé and I drove up from DC to have Shannon shoot our engagement photos. She’s extremely sweet and encourages you to just be natural and it produces such awesome photos. Our pictures had amazingly vibrant colors and really captured our «deal» as a couple.
I would definitely recommend working with Shannon!
