I’m Shannon Van Groningen, a Livermore wedding photographer and destination 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 Livermore Valley wedding photographer, I’ve had the honor of capturing love stories at some of the area’s most romantic venues, including Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery, The Palm Event Center, and Murrieta’s Well. Each of these Livermore wedding venues offers its own blend of vineyard charm, golden light, and elegant California architecture—perfect backdrops for luminous, true-to-color wedding portraits.

From the rolling 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 celebrations in a way that feels natural, refined, and full of heart. 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 celebration in the Livermore wine country, a destination wedding at a five-star resort, or a grand 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.
