About Shannon McGowan Photography

Shannon McGowan Photography

Head Photographer

With an eye for editorial and heartfelt storytelling, I work with the intention of creating heirlooms—timeless and authentic, allowing your most cherished memories to live on as the works of art they are. If you're looking for an extroverted photographer to put you at ease in front of the camera, document the most important people and moments in your life, and create a space where every tear, belly laugh, and proclamation of love can be a part of the telling of your story, you've come to the right place.

Creativity cannot exists without a sense of comfort, experimentation, and fun. By implementing this, I tell your story with warmth, authenticity, and artistry, creating a gallery that not only looks like you, it feels like you.

Better than we could have hoped for!
We love Shannon!! We met Shannon at our friends wedding. She snapped one photograph of me and my then fiancée and showed it to us with so much excitement! We loved that picture and immediately knew that we had to have her for our wedding. She was luckily free! The consultation was so fun, it felt like talking to an old friend and not the nerves you’re used to feeling when planning a wedding. Shannon showed up to the venue with the same excitement that she had on the first night we met her. She truly loves loves and loves photography. If anyone was made to be a photographer it’s her! (She made that clear when screaming “I love my job” after getting a good shot of us on our wedding day). We’ve gotten our previews so far and we loved every single one. We can’t wait for the rest to come!

Photos we’ll treasure forever
As two people who don’t love getting their photo taken, Shannon made the entire process feel natural and genuinely fun. We laughed the entire time, which helped us relax and allowed more natural smiles on our faces. I see all the love Tim and I feel for one another shining through each photo. I will cherish these memories forever!

The final images exceeded our expectations
Shannon has an exceptional ability to understand and bring a couple’s vision to life. She photographed our elopement and truly understood what we were hoping to create, delivering images that captured the moment perfectly. Her personality behind the camera kept us laughing throughout the day, making the experience feel natural and effortless. The final images exceeded our expectations, and we would gladly recommend Shannon to couples seeking elevated wedding photography.
