Frequently Asked Questions

How long have you been a photographer?

I have been a Vancouver engagement photographer for 10 years. I shot my very first portrait session in 2011.

Where should we shoot?

I always recommend shooting at a location that is significant to my couples – using a meaningful location adds a whole new element to any engagement session! If you can’t think of any sentimental locations, I’m happy to make recommendations.

Should we bring props?

If you have any sentimental items that are significant to your engagement that you’d like to incorporate, you are absolutely welcome to bring them to your shoot. Many couples also bring a blanket to use for any sitting photos.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

Dress like yourself taken up a notch. I recommend wearing complementary colours over matching ones, pairing bold patterns with solids, and layering to add diversity in your outfit.

CAN WE HAVE TWO OUTFITS?

Sure! If you’d like to wear two outfits, I suggest arriving at your session in a more casual outfit and then changing into something dressier halfway through the shoot once everyone is feeling more comfortable.

CAN YOU PHOTOSHOP MY…?

Beyond colour correction and my artistic edits, I will not retouch images without your request. When requested, I am happy to do basic retouching like teeth whitening, blemish removal, and skin softening. Advanced retouching will be outsourced and will require additional fees.

Will our photos be edited?

Absolutely! I do not deliver unedited files to my clients.

How many photos will we receive?

I typically deliver about 70 images from a one hour engagement session.

Can we have all the images you took?

No, I will not deliver the RAW or unedited images that were not included in the gallery. My culling process involves deleting images that are duplicates, out of focus, or otherwise not up to my artistic standards.

How long until we receive our images?

I share 8 sneak peek images within 24 hours on my Facebook page.

Your full gallery of edited, high-resolution images will be finished within 3 weeks of your engagement session.

How will we receive our images?

Your photos will be delivered in an online gallery called Pic-Time.

I love Pic-Time because it’s online and accessible anywhere, enables easy downloading for you and for your family and friends, and offers professional quality products you can purchase directly from the gallery.

Reviews

She made the experience fun and inviting.

Shauna was a true artist and captured our wedding wonderfully! We could not have been happier with the quality of service and the photos. She made the experience fun and inviting and made everyone incredibly comfortable! A+!

Kyle & Gunter

SHE CAPTURED SUCH BEAUTIFUL AND AUTHENTIC MOMENTS.

Shauna was able to truly capture our loved ones’ characteristic expressions and gestures in such a gorgeous way. Several guests also commented on how unobtrusive her presence was at the wedding itself; although she captured many intimate, candid moments, we never felt awkward or overly observed.

Vanessa & Katrina

SHE MANAGED TO CAPTURE ALL THE LOVE AND JOY IN EVERY SHOT.

Shauna was incredible from start to finish. We haven’t stopped getting compliments on our photography – both her and her second shooter managed to capture hundreds of incredible moments that we (the brides) didn’t get to see in all the busyness of the day. We love our photos so much!

Carly & Simone

ALL OF OUR GUESTS WERE REALLY IMPRESSED BY HOW PRESENT SHE WAS AT THE WEDDING.

She arrived a bit early to the venue so we got started right away! She made us feel comfortable the entire time and gave us a bit of direction. All of our guests were really impressed by how present she was at the wedding and how much she moved around to get cool shots.

Emmalee & Kiko

SHE HELPED OUR PERSONALITIES COME THROUGH IN THE PHOTOS.

We were so thankful for Shauna’s calm and fun energy. We were both nervous about having photos done and she made us feel at ease. She totally helped our personalities come through in the photos and we look like ourselves! And she captured us in some of our favourite places.

Lisa & Sandy

SHE MADE US FEEL COMFORTABLE ALL THROUGHOUT THE PLANNING AND SHOOTING.

When our previous photographer had a family emergency and had to bow out, Shauna was ready, willing, and able to take us on last minute. Shauna was flexible, fun, and made us feel comfortable all throughout the planning and shooting of the photos. We appreciated Shauna’s laughter and ideas!
