Here's what you need to know about Shannon Collins: They are a beautiful human being, inside and…read moreout, with a tremendous amount of kindness, care, respect and infinite talent. If you want photography that captures the spirit, essence, emotion of your love story, your family, your wedding day and beyond, hire Shannon. If you want a photographer who is actively trying to make the wedding industry and world a better place, hire Shannon. If you want someone by your side, who will make everyone feel comfortable and capture everyone, as their authentic selves, hire Shannon. And of course, if you want to nerd out over pop culture and have positive, affirming, supportive and fun communication leading up to whatever event or shoot, hire Shannon. It will be one of the best decisions you make. I found Shannon's work on the site, A Practical Wedding, and shortly after, my partner and I scheduled a video call with them. Immediately after talking with them, we knew we wanted them to be the person to photograph our engagement, wedding (and hopefully more in the future)! We just clicked. Their work is bright, airy, colorful and creative, full of details and unique composition. They make space for everyone's requests and makes everyone feel at ease -- whether it's kids or you as the couple, so it doesn't matter if you typically feel comfortable in front of the camera or not, Shannon's personality and thoughtfulness makes you comfortable. Both for our engagement and our wedding day, they never over-directed us, they just let us be who we are and gave us the occasional suggestion for a pose, all while cheering us on. They graciously worked with us to move the date (twice!) when we had to postpone due to the pandemic, in addition to giving us emotional support during the process. Shannon also scouted our new venue with us when we moved location as well. They went above and beyond what we expected in every way. TL;DR: Shannon Collins is an incredible person and photographer and my husband and I are so unbelievably happy that we hired them. Everyone in our family and wedding party adored them, and my mom, who is the biggest critic even said, "There's just not one bad photo. They're all beautiful," and she's 100% right. Thank you, Shannon, for everything!

Shannon is a total sweetheart and an incredible artist. I booked her to photograph my bridal shower…read moreas a gift to my mother for all her hard work, and Shannon was like a little sprite popping around and quietly getting fabulous pictures. She captured all of the perfect little decor details, all of my emotions opening gifts and greeting guests, and she took great candids of friends and fam.

I was very comfortable working with her and she took lovely, romantic, (and sexy!) shots and she was patient with my billion ideas for what I wanted to try. I also had the pleasure of seeing her in action at my friends' wedding this summer- again she was completely unobtrusive and delightful with great energy. I can't wait to see the pics!

I didn't know Haley the first time we worked together. It was actually my Fiancé who hired her when he proposed!

Since then I've hired and worked with both Haley and Keristin for my wedding events, professional headshots, a photo shoot for a product I launched and everything has been beyond what I was hoping for. When you work with these girls, they seem so relaxed you can barely tell they're working but then when you see the photo's you're in love.
