SHANNON:
Steeped in her journalism background, Shannon likes to tell stories with her photographs. After studying philosophy and photography at Hendrix College, she worked as the staff photographer at the Arkansas Democrat Gazette for two of its niche publications.

Each of her photographs tell a story of a wedding day be it of a charming detail the bride's been planning for months or an off-beat spontaneous moment. Her photos are bright and thoughtful, making for beautiful wedding memories.
