"From beginning to end of the wedding process. He is a clear communicator and extremely organized. He has such a calm demeanour and great sense of humour—two qualities we were grateful for on our wedding day.
He has an eye for aesthetics and unique shots. Great guy; great photographer. We’ve already recommended him to our friends and they are equally delighted by their decision to have him as their photographer.
Don’t hesitate. Just book him. You won’t regret it."
"Shawn's services went above and beyond because not every wedding happens the same way and having a photographer keep communication and planning seamless through the two events was amazing. He asked really pertinent questions and he listened and remembered things very well. On the day of, He was a calming and reassuring presence.
At the party with our friends, he caught so many fun moments and made all our guests feel so comfortable and relaxed! I would also like to emphasize how beautifully he captures people of colour. This was one of my main concerns in finding a photographer. These are the best photos of my family that we have ever had taken. His services are 110% worth it, not only for the stunning photographs and video but for the peace of mind and kind human behind the camera!"
"He takes time to understand what is important to you as a couple, what moments matter in your wedding.
We were flipping through our photos today and felt back in the day. It was hard to pick favourites. Shawn truly captured the feeling and mood of the day. It was an absolute pleasure having him there. Everyone, even today, tells me - “Shawn was amazing, where did you find him?”
He went above and beyond getting us gondola passes to take these breath taking photos from at the top of the mountain.
Our guests raved about him all night remarking on how nice he was and how he would strike up a conversation with people all night. The turn around time for the wedding photos was also amazing compared to other people I have talked to. 10/10 would recommend!!"
... He was very organized and responsive which made planning easy! His work speaks for itself, and we absolutely adore all the big and small moments and emotions that he was able to capture. We will be treasuring our wedding pictures for many years to come."

"Sam and I both wanted to extend our deepest thanks to you! It really felt like you went above and beyond to support us leading up to the wedding and especially day of. Your calm and kind energy only added ten fold to such a wonderful experience. All of our friends and family feel the same way, with everyone saying how much they enjoyed chatting and getting to know you. You are incredibly professional, and we trusted your process instantly.
Not to mention the photos! You were able to capture the energy of the wedding and we had so much fun going through the photos the first time and seeing all our loved ones throughout different stages of the night. We've gone through the photos probably 1000x since then and it's just as enjoyable every time. We love your editing style and you captured the lighting so beautifully at Parlour. You have a keen eye for detail and it's so appreciated!
Thank you again and again and again for being a part of our wedding! "
There are simply no words that could express the happiness that Shawn created for us through his photography.
Sometimes, it's hard to know how to pose, or you can get too into your head about what to do, but Shawn made everyone feel very comfortable and relaxed. We are forever grateful to have these photographs to reignite all the wonderful emotions we felt on our wedding day.”
"From the get go, Shawn's kindness, willingness to help and smile said it all. On our wedding day, he showed up with so much excitement and joy which only made the whole experience that much better. He has this calm energy to him which helped me also remain calm and present and was truly such a wonderful photographer.
A few days later, we received a preview/sneak peek gallery and wow, just WOW. They. Are. Incredible.

Everyone at our wedding (ourselves included) can’t stop gushing about how comfortable he made us all feel in front of the camera.

"We have the highest appreciation and gratitude for all he did for us. Not only is he incredibly talented and professional, he was so fun and easy going to work with. He has such a calm and warm presence.

Shawn took the time to genuinely get to know us and captured those moments that mean so much to us that we can look back on for years to come."
"Thank you SO so much for these pictures - they are beautiful!! You did an amazing job capturing the look and feel of the day. I had mentioned on our first call that we aren't the most comfortable being in front of a camera, but...
From the very first meeting, Shawn showed his natural warmth, professionalism, and genuine passion for capturing moments. Numerous family members and guests shared with us how impressed they were with his demeanour and kindness.
His work exceeded all of our expectations, capturing our day in a way that was both stunning and deeply meaningful. We wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking a photographer who not only delivers incredible photos but also genuinely cares about the couples he works with."
We're so incredibly grateful he was able to be a part of our wedding day. He captured the essence and genuine emotion of our special moments that can now be cherished as photographs for the rest of our lives. I can be nervous to get in front of a camera, but Shawn was reassuring and compassionate throughout the day, ensuring I felt safe and comfortable every step of the way. I've been struggling to find the right combination of words to express how grateful I am, but I'm still coming up short. Our experience working with him was worth our investment, and it is undoubtedly worth yours! I'll be recommending him to everyone in our community."

We are looking forward to working with him again in the future for a family photoshoot!"
"Shawn worked with my (now) husband and me to capture our wedding and do our engagement shoot. I truly cannot say enough good things about him. Shawn is beyond professional; he is always capturing the right moments in a kind and unobtrusive way.
Somehow, Shawn was everywhere at our wedding. He caught so many moments that I didn't think anyone noticed. The photos? GORGEOUS. they're beautiful, artistic and beyond expectation. Shawn does several special things to make you feel so taken care of on your day, quiet support, cheering you on, and following up quickly about the photos and how you feel. Everyone at the wedding raved about him, how kind he is, and the quality of his work once we shared the photos. Don't go anywhere else. Seriously."
Shawn is truly so talented and down to earth. The photos look absolutely timeless and captured the day so beautifully. Watching the slideshow felt like reliving the whole day over again. He has given us something we will cherish forever and I can’t express how much that means to us.
"Shawn made all of our friends and family feel so comfortable and at ease, particularly for a group that isn't used to being photographed.
We also really appreciated the attention and process before the day, as well as the easy-to-use system for gathering our hopes for how the day would proceed"
"We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos! Shawn captured every special moment beautifully, and we will cherish these photos forever. He is incredibly professional and also so kind, funny and easy to work with. We had never really had professional photos done and weren't sure what to expect. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which was something we had said throughout the day. If you are looking for a photographer who can bring out the best in you and your day..
My fiancé and I had a 12/10 experience with Shawn! He was so friendly, professional and made us feel comfortable throughout the entirety of the shoot. He had the exact shoot locations mapped out and gave very clear direction so it was a very streamlined process.
Shawn is PHENOMENAL. We used him for out fist ever professional photoshoot and I could not believe how easy and natural the entire process felt. We were blown away when we received our album. I genuinely can't recommend him enough.
"Thank you so so much for these photos. We are blown away by them. You truly are so talented!
We are so lucky to have come across you and to have had the chance to get to know you a bit during our time together was an absolute pleasure."

We loved loved loved going through them and we’re so grateful for you sharing your talent so generously. We cannot wait to buy these and make a big photo album out of them!"
His creativity and passion for his work shows in every single photo he takes. We loved the way he captured every detail of our wedding even scenarios we had completely forgotten about. From our first encounter he exhibited excellent people skills which creates a comforting aura that tells you without a doubt you're in good hands. I would strongly recommend him for any wedding!"
If you are looking for a passionate, talented and overall outstanding photographer, Shawn is a true visionary and the person you absolutely need to hire!
Our experience with Shawn was seamless. From the moment we connected for our first phone meeting, we fell in love with his ease and kindness, we felt we were talking to a good friend.
He’s fast to reply and he wants to make sure his clients are comfortable and happy. At the end of the day Shawn is so easy to work with and I believe his photography reflects that. The beautiful moments he captures are authentic and true due to the comfort you feel when you work with him. We are so grateful to have met Shawn and worked with him! We hope we can use him again in the near future!
He managed to make us feel comfortable so that he could capture us having fun with each other in the moment, while we were not paying attention to the camera.
He's an incredible photographer! We had him do our wedding photos and all the photos turned out so nice. He kept in touch with us, and really helped guide us through the whole process since we had no idea what we were doing"
..having our wedding with Shawn. I highly recommend anyone interested. Thank you for the amazing pictures, Shawn!
It went far beyond my initial vision. Your talent is extraordinary, and your kind spirit shines through. Thank you!
You truly have an eye for unique shots and capturing joy. The wedding day can be busy with the various timelines, however you have this calming presence which made me slow down and be in the moment.
It was also your warm nature that made myself and the rest of our bridal party as well as the guests feel so comfortable. Putting us at ease ultimately allowed for many candid shots to be taken. You are truly a talented photographer and we would choose you all over again."
His relaxed energy and happy attitude are a stress reliever for people who aren't a natural at getting their picture taken (me!). He makes the process fun and knowing his work, you're nothing but excited to see the end result. I've done a couples and family shoot with Shawn, and have had an amazing experience with both. Truly a great person."
"We did a valentines day photo shooting with Shawn at Old Montréal. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommended his work!"
We had an incredible experience with Shawn. Creating a comfortable atmosphere, he was able to help us create genuine smiles and intimate moments from us. The final photos beautifully reflect our true personalities, striking a delicate balance.
Shawn was wonderful to work with! He was very flexible with us and stayed calm through a somewhat chaotic wedding family shoot!
He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which we were nervous about) and his warmth and easy going personality made the experience very relaxed and enjoyable. Between pictures we were all engaging in conversation and sharing stories, really enjoying the process in a candid way versus standing there posing. If you are looking for a fun date or gift idea, a session with Shawn is the way to go. We loved how our pictures turned out!"
