A note from
THE MENARYS
“Hi, y’all. Shannon and Shaun here - alliteration unintentional yet deeply satisfying. That last name is pronounced like the bird ‘canary,’ sub the ‘M.’ But we also answer to ‘MEN-ary’ and ‘Men-ARE-y,’ so just give it your best shot. We won’t hold it against you.
Our ‘why’ is our family - one whoopsie baby, one intentional baby, and one another. We make photographs for our clients, their mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, their chosen families, their potential future children and grandchildren, by birth or by love alone, and even family down the road they’ll never meet. We love our own marriage and bring that regard for meaningful connection to every wedding day, to every client. We believe in moments that matter, captured artfully, edited timelessly, and delivered lovingly, from our family to yours.”

9 Reviews for The Menarys
Shaun and Shannon are outstanding photographers and people. They are some of the most selfless in this industry. We were so lucky to have them to capture our special day. The pictures were everything I wanted; candid, romantic, a little moody, and timeless. Not once did I feel forced to take a picture I didn’t want. They captured every moment perfectly. Shaun and Shannon are not only the best photographers, but some of the best people. We are so fortunate to have had them as our wedding photographers. You will not be disappointed!
To top it off - they’re SUPER NICE PEOPLE. They make you feel incredibly comfortable - not awkward at all - and are so professional. Truly top notch.
Couldn’t give them higher recommendation or praise! Exceptional work - you won’t be disappointed!!
Oh and we used them for my bridals and our engagements, too, and those turned out amazing as well!
They captured so many special memories throughout our entire wedding weekend... small details and magic moments that make us smile every time we look at our photos. They have an incredible ability to truly capture the excitement and love that surrounds a wedding.
Their attention to detail is obvious in all of their photos and in their assistance with creating the wedding albums. Our albums are stunning, and that is due to the hours they spent making sure each page is absolutely perfect.
They exhibit so much dedication, excitement and passion for photography. We not only love our photos, but we also love our photographers!! And we feel so lucky to have had them there on our Wedding Day!! They are #1!!!!
