“I have had the pleasure of knowing Shannon since we were kids, and over the years I have gotten to work with her on multiple projects such as professional headshots and a styled wedding shoot. After my now-husband, Kyle, and I got engaged at the end of 2023, there was no question the we would hire her as our wedding photographer.
Shannon’s photography embodies the soft romanticism and timeless charm I had always wanted for my wedding photos, and her ability to put everyone at ease to capture the authenticity of her couples creates photos of love you can continue feel for years to come.
She was also a big help to me in more ways than just photography. I went into wedding planning fairly clueless, but Shannon had so many great ideas and suggested vendors whom she loved working with in the past that it made the whole planning process so much easier on Kyle and me. Wedding days can also get hectic, yet Shannon always proved to roll with anything and keep everyone on task, all while capturing everyone at their very best.
I could sing her praises forever; Shannon is truly the best. I will always recommend her and I am so honored to continue to watch her grow her photography business with each beautiful wedding.”

“As soon as I was engaged, I knew I HAD to have Shannon do my wedding and engagement photography. Prior to my own wedding, I had recommended her to friends and family, whose weddings she also captured perfectly! As soon as I saw my wedding photos, I was blown away at how beautiful they were, and I had to refrain myself from sharing the entire wedding album on social media.
She was so helpful with putting my husband and I at ease on our wedding day. Taking photos can be an awkward experience, however Shannon provided a wealth of poses for us while taking into consideration our own insecurities (getting those good angles!)
The finished product was even better than I could imagine. Shannon ensured all the edits were personalized to each shot, making adjustments where it was needed. Her care and passion for photography is evident in her work as she does not cut corners!
Shannon is very accommodating and ensures you get what you are looking for. She communicates in a professional manner and prioritizes her client's needs, even down to the details! Something that sets her apart from other wedding photographers is her level of focus and availability to each couple. Picking out wedding vendors can be overwhelming… Some vendors make you feel like you are just another name on their books, however; with Shannon I felt like a priority!”

“Shannon is an amazing photographer, and my husband and I cherish the photos she took of our wedding! We were so delighted to hire her, the work she produces is highly professional. She was present for the planning of the wedding till the big day and even took time to scope out the venue ahead of time to guarantee beautiful memorable photos.
Shannon also was always on time for our meetings and showed up at the venue early! She is also a very personable and a genuine sweetheart, talking to her feels like speaking to a longtime friend! Both my husband and I felt comfortable as she shot photos and suggested poses; she captured our big day down to the details.
Shannon also takes the time to individually edit each photo professionally. As a couple with very different skin colors, my husband and I previously received photos from photographers who either saturated our skin tones drastically or washed us out completely. Shannon’s photography captures us perfectly though also with a romantic air similar to that of fine art. We are so grateful we hired her for our big day, and highly recommend her services!”

Shannon is a highly talented photographer who went above and beyond to ensure that our engagement and wedding photos were nothing short of amazing. From the moment we first met Shannon, she put us at ease with her warm and friendly personality, and we knew we had made the right choice.
Shannon was not only fairly priced, but also very professional and organized throughout the entire process. She was always available to answer any questions we had and provided us with great recommendations and guidance, making the planning process much smoother. Shannon even came to our set up to test lighting and settings to ensure the perfect shot. Her attention to detail was truly impressive. She is extremely passionate and pours her heart into everything she does.
On the day of our wedding, Shannon was an integral part of our team who made our big day incredible. She made us feel comfortable in every moment, and her ability to capture the emotions and memories of our special day was simply stunning. We were blown away by the final product, which surpassed our expectations.

“Words cannot describe my experience working with Shannon. I fell in love with her photography skills before I even met her. Her photos speak for themselves, the quality, and the beauty in each of them are breathtaking. After our first conversation, my husband and I fell in love with her personality, knowledge, and overall generosity. We knew she was the right person to capture our perfect day.
Throughout the entire wedding planning process, she was always there to help offer suggestions and guidance. She quickly became more than a wedding photographer; she became a helping hand and a friend. I was so stressed about everything going right on my wedding day, but the only thing that I had no stress about was the photography. I knew she would not disappoint. On the day of the wedding, she was there bright and early ready to start capturing every special moment and detail. It was so comforting to have such a professional, caring, and wonderful person by my side throughout the entire day. She ensured that everything went smoothly, she was able to be flexible with the last-minute changes to schedule and timing, and that all of my photo requests were met.
Once we got the pictures back, I was blown away. She managed to capture everything and make the day all the more magical. My husband and I immediately started sharing them with friends and family. Everyone was so amazed at all of the detail and the overall love Shannon was able to capture in the photos. We are so excited to showcase these photos and show them to our kids one day. She managed to capture moments that will be cherished for years and generations to come.
Out of all the planning and people we hired to make our wedding day special, I am beyond blessed to have found Shannon. She was by far the best decision my husband and I made when planning our wedding. I am so honored to be able to call her our wedding photographer and now my friend.”

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Shannon Duffy Photography. At the beginning of my wedding planning journey, I decided the most important thing aside from the actual marriage was our wedding photos. I began contacting photographers and was not having the greatest experience, then I landed on Shannon Duffy and knew I had found a real gem.
She was so helpful to this wedding newbie and really helped guide me through the process. We had many meetings leading up to my wedding and she really got to know and see my vision. I will never forget during a video call she was showing me some of the things she brings along on the big day (which is everything you could possibly need!) and saying “I’ll be there for whatever you need like an invisible bridesmaid" and I can truthfully say after this she was truly the extra girl I needed.
My wedding was September 13th 2020, and not only were we dealing with this awful pandemic, but the week leading up to our wedding wildfires broke out all across Oregon, and surrounded the venue with a thick blanket of smoke just days before the wedding. I was beyond stressed. I thought there was no way to get the pictures I'd always dreamt of with smoke filling the air and low visibility at our beautiful outdoor venue. When I expressed my concern to Shannon she reassured me that the photos would be beautiful. She proved that true the very next day at my rehearsal dinner, taking the most gorgeous photos of our venue that put all my fears to rest! She arrived bright and early on our wedding day and was quickly at work photographing every last detail and decoration.
When it came time for the serious stuff Shannon lead me out to see my fiancé for the last time before he became my husband at our first look. This is a moment that is beyond special and could not have come across more beautifully. She captured the true beauty of the oak grove we were standing in while making us the real show stoppers. I then walked down the aisle to marry my best friend and honesty nothing could explain our happiness better than our exit photo; we both look like we just won the lottery.
Shannon captured my real-life fairy tale in the perfect light even when the world was on fire, in a pandemic, in 2020. I sing her praises everywhere I go and I’m constantly showing off my gorgeous wedding photos. Shannon Duffy Photography really made my photography dreams come true!”
