About Shawna GD Photography

Shawna GD Photography

Wedding Photographer

I photograph intimate weddings and elopements with intention, emotion, and a little bit of edge. My approach is simple: your photos should feel like you. Real, raw and timeless, not stiff or performative. I'm here to catch the unplanned magic and the editorial moments that make your story look and feel as fabulous as you do.

Because forever deserves more than posed. I'm an INFJ, intuitive to my core. Which means I'll sense when you need a deep breath or a pep talk. I'll fix your veil, find your light, wrangle your people, and keep things calm when it matters most. From your first look to the last song, I'm right there documenting the tears, the laughter and everything in between.

  • Fairytale Proposal

    •Verified review
    •Siddhant•Oct 17

    We had the most magical experience with Shawna! She captured our proposal so beautifully that every picture feels like it’s straight out of a fairytale. Not only is she incredibly talented behind the lens, but she also made us feel so comfortable and natural throughout the shoot. Her energy, kindness, and attention to detail turned a once-in-a-lifetime moment into memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to capture your special day with creativity and heart, we can’t recommend her enough. Truly one of the best decisions we made for our proposal!

  • What a Privilege!

    I had the absolute privilege of having Shawna capture my engagement photos, and later, serve as my second shooter on my wedding day. I say “privilege” because I still can’t believe someone so kind, genuine, and sweet truly exists. When I first met Shawna and her husband Patrick for our engagement session, they made the entire experience so easy and fun, even though my husband and I are far from comfortable in front of a camera. They made the session completely about us, helping us feel relaxed and natural. The moment we finished, I knew there was no way I could imagine my wedding day without Shawna being a part of it. At the wedding, Shawna seamlessly collaborated with my main photographer. She was professional, detail-oriented, and fully committed to making sure our day was as perfect as it could be. But Shawna went beyond just photography, she truly got to know us as a couple, took the time to learn what mattered to us, and poured her passion not only into her work but into us as clients. On my wedding morning, I was having a really difficult time, but the second Shawna arrived, her smile and calming presence gave me comfort I can’t even put into words. She immediately asked, “How can I help?”… and she meant it. She jumped right in, kept me grounded, and reminded me to enjoy the moment. I will never regret choosing Shawna for my photos. Not only did I gain beautiful memories captured forever, but I also feel like I’ve gained a friend for life.
