A little about me and my style of wedding photography...
Since 2003, my photography career has spanned everything from fashion & events to landscapes, automotive, portraits, and of course.. weddings!
My wedding photography style could be best described as documentary with a film-inspired finish - softly saturated, raw, and authentic. I focus on natural, candid moments, like a fly-on-the-wall, rather than overly staged shots.
That said, I’m always happy to create wedding group photos, fashion-inspired bride & groom portraits, or an edited finish that gives a strong pop of colour if requested, which we’ll discuss in detail before your big day.
My goal is to tell your unique wedding story through genuine, heartfelt images.
Kind Words From the Newlyweds...
Arlette & John
The Bear Hotel, Cowbridge
"Hiring Shawn was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only is he such a good photographer, but he’s also incredibly easy to work with, calm, friendly, and full of great ideas. He listened to what we wanted, gave us guidance when we needed it, and made us feel totally relaxed during the couple shots. The final gallery was beyond what we expected - beautifully edited, with a perfect mix of candid and posed photos. Highly recommend!"
Lauren & Rhys
Bryn Meadows Golf, Hotel & Spa
"We were blown away by Shawn’s professionalism and creativity. He has an incredible eye for detail and managed to capture not just the big moments but all the little ones we would have missed otherwise. The candid shots of our friends and family laughing, dancing, and just enjoying themselves are priceless. He blended into the background seamlessly, yet somehow didn’t miss a thing. We’ll cherish these photos forever!"
Amy & Ashley
Canada Lodge & Lake
"Shawn was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day! From the moment we met, he made us feel completely at ease, and on the day itself, it was like having a friend there with us. He captured all the special moments without us even realising he was there and the photos are all so natural and effortless. The photos are breath-taking, full of genuine emotion, and really tell the story of our day. We couldn’t be happier with the results!"
