I’m Shannon Van Groningen, a California wedding photographer and destination wedding photographer specializing in timeless, fine art wedding images filled with authenticity, light, and emotion. Your wedding day deserves to be captured with artistry and intention, creating heirloom photographs that will be cherished for generations.
From the vineyards of Napa Valley to the stunning shores of Southern California, the mountain resorts of Lake Tahoe, and luxury wedding venues across the U.S., I document love stories in a way that feels natural, luminous, and true-to-color. My approach blends the elegance of fine art photography with a documentary eye, ensuring every detail—from your invitation suite to your first look and every heartfelt embrace—is beautifully preserved.
Whether you are planning an intimate elopement in California, a destination celebration at a five-star resort, or a grand wedding weekend filled with family and friends, my goal is to create wedding photographs that reflect the essence of your love and the beauty of your surroundings.
You are in the right place for colorful, timeless imagery that is authentic, natural, and simply "you".
Your love is bright and sweet, and your wedding images should be, too. Once the vows are said and the cake is cut, you dream of having images that represent your day in all its beauty, and the little moments in between. I provide an experience that stands the test of time.
"Shannon is the absolute best! She did both our engagement and wedding photos, and they all turned out stunning! She is so friendly, responsive, and great to work with. She helped my husband and I feel comfortable throughout both days and was great at giving direction where needed! Her work turned out so beautiful and I could not be more thankful for her! We hope to continue supporting and working with her for a long time"
