WHAT'S THE MAIN REASON YOU INVEST IN A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER?


BECAUSE WE WILL WEATHER
THE STORM.

EXPERIENCE, TRUST & TOOLS.

When working with any professional professional, we have the experience to weather any storm- to be calm and think quick on our feet on the day of. This is the norm for most of us and why you hire a pro verses a "weekend warrior" or hobby photographer.

"Don't worry, we've been there before.
Seriously we have seen just about everything."

- Cherrylyn & Clement, Lake Tahoe Session turn Snow Storm
Arriving in Tahoe in the middle of the night it was brisk and windy. We wake to a rapid change in weather that got heavier as the shoot when on, leaving us snowed in for 2 days as Tahoe received 63 inches of SNOW. It was freezing, scary, but epic - we still managed to make magic out it :)  

So, what makes Shannon & her team
beyond just professional?  


PREPARATION,

DEDICATION 
& RESILIENCE

We have back-up cameras, insurance, tool kits, emergency plans. Alternative ways to switch gear(s) LITERALLY. 

During the planning process, we find solutions around road blocks that get in the way of  YOUR dream day, most of which can be done ahead of time. We custom timelines based off of the sun, weather and logistics.

We include design consulting with layouts and floor plans for best capture so you have a clear design action plan to mitigate issues with the day and final product. We use our past experience and analyze data to foresee things that could be done better and in a more relaxed way providing better images in the end.

What makes Shannon Unique? Her talent to create a visual description of what is already there, revealing the beauty within all of us and the love we share. 

BESPOKE CREATIVITY,
WITH ONE-OF-KIND
SERVICE & A STUNNING FINAL PRODUCT

As the owner of Preserve Studio, it's my style and created concepts that shine through all we do. But that begins with what it takes to prepare. One of the many things that makes my team and I different our planning, we find solutions around road blocks that get in the way of  YOUR dream day ahead of time.

We include design consulting with layouts and floor plans that align for the best way for us to capture YOU so you have a clear design action plan to mitigate issues with the day and final product. We use our past experience and analyze data to foresee things that could be done better and in a more relaxed way providing better images in the end.

We create custom timelines based off of the sun, weather and logistics and that leave room incase things run behind.


 



We offer advice out-side-of the box to make every detail fit YOUR dream. AND We have a creative a passionate approach to creating a bespoke concept for your day, blending conceptual, editorial and journalistic FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY in the end, that is emotional, real, elegant and epic. 

What does that leave you with when it's all said and done? Images that look they belong in Vogue, Time Magazine, The National Geographic or a Ryan Murphy flick. Sound like a weird combo?

Think magazine worthy, adventurous, editorial and almost cinematic in approach to visual storytellings. You see, my style reflects all of the components of the human experience. We are all dramatic, funny, curious, 

You see we all have these things that make us human, some are just more than others, so when I go through the process I focus on the part that IS YOU. 

Wanna put a ball gown while your partner drives a fourwheeler in circles around you? Wanna get married in a field of cows with a string quartet?

Want to rent a castle and have the most fashionable designers on your guests capturing all in black and white with a nod to history and tradition? How about eloping in a Cenote in Mexico, styled wit crystals instead of flowers? 

That's the thing about DREAMS, we all have these ideas we don't think are possible - but I am here to tell you, I will make them come true.

LET US GET CREATIVE, LET US GET REAL, 

LET US GET, YOU.
