Shaun and Shannon Menary did an incredible job at our wedding! They bring a fun relaxed energy that helped me to feel ready for all the photos. They made it look effortless, which I so appreciated on the big day! Their genuine enthusiasm and real skill is something I'll always appreciate. I now have beautiful photography that will last forever. Can't recommend them more highly!

Shaun and Shannon are the BEST wedding photographers we could have ever asked for! From the moment we met, they instantly felt like family. Being a husband and wife team definitely works to their advantage. They work so well together and create a relaxed and personal environment, which always made us feel comfortable and at ease.

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!!!!

If you are looking for an amazingly talented wedding photographer who you’ll actually love working with too, well you’ve found them. Shaun and Shannon are incredibly talented at their craft. Selecting our wedding photographer was a big decision for us and we couldn’t be happier with choosing them. Shaun has an exceptional way of photographing your day in a way that the emotion and joy is beautifully captured as well. Every time we look at our photos we relive the joy of the day again!

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!

I am obsessed with these people!! We had a wedding in December and Saun and Shannon were the funniest, sweetest couple. I did bridal portraits with Saun and I was being extra and needed my dog to take pictures with me and Saun was super patient with the pup. Shannon has such a good eye for background, she even offered to let me wear her earrings bc I forgot mine the day of! They're just a really creative couple! I loved getting our wedding gallery back, they take so many candid pics of the couple, family and guests. The pictures don't look staged or awkward and I felt like they truly captured the love at the event (corny to say, I know). The luxury price is definitely worth every penny, the pictures ended up fabulous. You will likely walk out of your wedding with a new set of friends, we can't wait to hang out with Saun and Shannon again <3

How do I find the right words to express just how wonderful these two are!? Both simply as awesome human beings, but also as expert artists in photography. As with all weddings, we had a number of last minute challenges and changes, including introducing Shaun & Shannon at the last minute. But despite this challenge, they fit right in and were a perfect compliment to the wedding team, and now our lives! The way they have captured the plethora of beautiful moments and emotions from the day is awe-inspiring. We could not be happier with the end result, plus we are also grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know them both! I could not recommend their services more!!! And you can also see from this photo, just how fun they are… who wouldn’t want this type of energy for their wedding day!!

Hands down the best choice we made for our wedding. They do more than take amazing photos, they honestly capture the soul of a wedding. Shannon and Shaun are incredibly talented, professional and organized, we didn't worry about a thing. It feels like they immediately understood who we are as a couple, and how to perfectly document the entire evening. They gave us a sneak peek the NEXT DAY with over a hundred edited photos that took our breath away. We're obsessed with the quality, detail, and beauty in these photos. Not only did they go above and beyond for us for the most important day of our lives, they are also wonderful human beings who we feel so honored to have met! We're so grateful for their dedication to our wedding, and we can't recommend them enough.

I absolutely LOVED working with Shannon and Shaun. They were extremely accommodating and responsive from start to finish. They walked me through each major event during my wedding day (even down to the cake cutting haha). And to top it all of, they are both super sweet and hilarious! Also, have you seen their photos?! One word…STUNNING! As a black bride, my biggest concern was making sure that our wedding photos didn’t come out too blown out. But they captured us all perfectly and gave us memories to cherish forever. Thank you both for everything!!!

Where to begin…
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!

About

Photographer The Menarys About me

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.”
