Shannon Lawford
Photography
Hi! I'm Shannon. A natural and candid wedding photographer. Capturing your special day without being obtrusive and getting in the way, allowing you to focus on what matters most.
Wedding Photography
Natural. Authentic. Unobtrusive.
I aim to provide a service that ensures I capture all of the important parts of your day without being too obtrusive and getting in the way. I have a very candid approach and only give direction where necessary. This gives a more natural feel to the images and ensures you enjoy your big day and get to relax.
LGBTQ+ inclusive. Anyone and everyone deserves to feel safe and welcome on their special day. I pride myself on creating a space for lgbtq+ members where you can be your authentic self. Find out more about how I do this here.
How Things Work...
For most people, planning a wedding is a completely new experience. Here's how things will work when booking a photographer.
01
CONSULTATION
Firstly I'll be in touch to schedule a call. Here we can discuss about your plans so far, locations, dates, budgets, any specific requests and we can get to know each other to check I'm the right photographer for you!
02
PRE WEDDING SESSION
With some of my wedding packages I include a complimentary pre wedding session! This is a short couples photoshoot where you can both get used to being in front of the camera. These also follow my approach of being natural and candid and allows you to become familiar with some of the ways I create this environment.
03
FINAL PLANS
I will stay in touch with you before your wedding day to find out any last minute adjustments or plan changes. You can also see your photos from the pre wedding session and we can discuss which things work and which don't, so you can be sure we're on the same page for your wedding.
04
THE WEDDING DAY
Now that all the planning is done it's time for you to relax and allow me to capture your special day. I'm usually there from the prep in the morning all the way till the first dance, so I'll be there to capture it all! Although most of the day will be captured in a documentary style way, I will also capture formal group portraits as well as a short couples session, but this is usually the only "staged" part of the day.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Joe & Sophie
Shannon was absolutely superb for our big day! She was always incredibly communicative and prompt, and was utterly excellent on the day. She's given us absolutely tonnes of wonderful photos, to capture our wedding :) I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
Amy & Tom
Really cannot thank you enough for yesterday. Had so many compliments about how amazing it was to have a photographer there that wasn't in your face and just got on with the photos making it feel so natural.
Chelsea & James
Shannon was friendly, kind and very polite to all of our guests all day. Value for money was incredible considering the quality of the pictures taken. Shannon also worked very fast and made a preview album for us to view the day after our wedding which was amazing. I would 100% recommend Shannon as a photographer and will be hiring again for any further events!!
