I’m Shannon Van Groningen, a Bay Area wedding photographer specializing in timeless, fine art wedding imagery 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.

As a Bay Area wedding photographer, I’ve had the honor of documenting love stories at some of the region’s most stunning and iconic venues, like Officer’s Club and the Golden Gate Club in San Francisco, elegant estates in Woodside, intimate vineyards in Sonoma, and beautiful celebrations in Oakland, Fremont, Santa Cruz, and San Jose. Each venue and city has its own unique charm, from sweeping vineyard landscapes to city skyline views, providing the perfect backdrop for bright, true-to-color, and naturally romantic wedding images.

From intimate elopements in the Bay Area to grand celebrations at luxury estates, I approach every wedding with a blend of fine art elegance and a documentary eye. Every detail—from your invitation suite to your first look, every laugh, and every heartfelt embrace—is thoughtfully preserved in photographs that feel luminous, natural, and deeply personal.

Whether you’re planning a small, intimate ceremony in Sonoma or Santa Cruz, a lavish estate wedding in Woodside, or a stunning urban celebration at the Officer’s Club or Golden Gate Club, my goal is to create wedding photographs that reflect the essence of your love and the beauty of the Bay Area.
