ABOUT

SHAWNA

For me, it's about more than how a day looks. It's always been about the movement, the in-between, the moments that can't be recreated.

I photograph intimate weddings and elopements with a balance of creative observation and gentle direction. My work is rooted in capturing what’s real: from joint getting-ready mornings, receptions at your local art museum and elegant back-yard ceremonies.

Ultimately, my goal is to create images that feel as real as the experience itself, while holding on to a sense of timelessness.

My work has been featured on platforms such as Zola and Unscripted, with more editorial features forthcoming.

I’m based in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband, son, and our two dogs. When I’m not photographing weddings, I’m editing with a coffee nearby, planning our next trip to Scotland, or spending time with our large, loving Greek family.
