Nature's Stage, Your Story

"One word comes to mind - breathtaking!! There is truly no other way to describe the experience on our special day. The moment we met Shawn & Brittany and decided to have our wedding at the top of Half Dome, they were instrumental in the design of our special day. We originally had a plan in mind but then they made us realize how we could make it so much more magical, and that we did. Shawn's expertise in climbing and knowledge of Yosemite was invaluable. And ultimately they shot the most beautiful, breathtaking moments with the sunset behind us. That was one of the best day of our lives. We are so grateful for Shawn & Brittany for this amazing day!" ~ Lori

Shawn & Brittany

"Shawn and Brittany went out of their way to make our vision of our special day come true. We enjoyed hiking out to the location with them and they were pleasant company. Brittany helped me with all the big and small details from holding a mirror so I could do my makeup to helping me touch up my hair. Shawn was communicative and encouraging during the whole day. They returned our edited photos quickly and they turned out better than we could have imagined. Truly captured the essence of our love and the magic of the day. If you want epic wedding photos and an enjoyable experience with two of the kindest people I highly recommend booking a shoot with them. Thank you is not enough to express our gratitude to Shawn and Brittany!" ~ Deja

"Our entire experience with Shawn & Brittany was easy and fun. A truly amazing experience to get married on a granite dome in a national park at sunset that would not have been possible without them. I don’t really like being in pictures but they made us both feel comfortable and the entire session felt natural and fun." ~ Ben
