You’re planning a wedding that feels like you—laid-back, a little wild, totally real. You want your day captured in a way that feels honest, intimate, and unposed. That’s where I come in.

You’re planning a wedding that feels like you—laid-back, a little wild, totally real. You want your day captured in a way that feels honest, intimate, and unposed. That’s where I come in.
I photograph weddings for couples who value moments over perfection, connection over clichés, and who aren’t afraid to be fully themselves. If you’re dreaming of a photographer who blends in like a friend, sees the in-between moments, and documents your day with a natural, documentary approach, you’re in the right place.
My style is rooted in storytelling. While you’re busy living your day, I’m quietly capturing the things you’ll want to remember later—the laughter spilling out behind the scenes, the kid sneaking frosting, the look you give each other when no one else is watching. The real stuff.
Based in South Lake Tahoe, I’ve photographed weddings and events across the US, Europe, India, Mexico, Indonesia, and beyond. I’ve collaborated with global brands along the way, but what I love most is creating meaningful, personal stories for couples like you.
As a wedding photographer in South Lake Tahoe, California I love to photograph with the backdrop of one of the most beautiful lakes I have ever seen, but this absolutely does not mean I won’t travel overseas for your special day!
If you’re planning something unique, heartfelt, and maybe a little unconventional, I’d love to document it.
Take a look at the galleries, reach out and let me do what I do best, which is capturing that special day for you." Thanks for letting me know :-)
Kind regards,

I was on the board of directors for three years. I helped the board execute the Cops and Robbers Ball and other fundraisers for the Morgan Hill Police Departments CLEF foundation. I was also on the Morgan Hill Historical Society board at the same time assisting with the yearly fundraising events.
Public Support for Public Safety
The purpose of The Community Law Enforcement Foundation of Morgan Hill is to support and promote public safety through partnerships that provide resources to help the Morgan Hill Police Department (MHPD) perform at its highest level of service to the community.
We believe that public safety is the most important service that the city government provides its citizens and we see the foundation as the perfect vehicle for the community to express its support for the police department. We raise money to see that the MHPD has all of the tools and training it needs to be effective and to better serve our community.
The foundation has already raised funds that led to the purchase and training of Pax. Pax is a police dog and he represents the restoration of the police department's canine unit. The foundation continues to raise money to support the dog and his annual training as well as provide food and medical care. Other recent accomplishments include the purchase of a new generator for the MHPD CSI team, a thermal imaging camera, updated training equipment for the K-9 unit and providing funds to support the MHPD's Parent Project.
The foundation is a sustaining organization that will operate for years to come. We work closely with the MHPD's administration to align our fundraising efforts with equipment and services not currently covered by the City budget. One of the foundation's goals is to raise funds for an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) pilot whereby 5-6 patrol cars will be outfitted with the devices. Should the pilot prove successful we will continue efforts to ensure that every department vehicle contains one of these life saving devices. Other goals include Flash Cams to deter graffiti, VieView cameras for officers and funds to cover start up costs of the new Volunteers in Policing program.

Aboard the Pamala: Commercial Fishing Adventures – My family’s business
My Experience as a Commercial Fisherwoman
I served as a commercial fisherwoman on the Pamala, a 65-foot motor and sailboat equipped with a 10-ton hold. Our fishing operation involved nine lines, and our primary catch was albacore, with individual fish weighing anywhere between 15 and 40 pounds.
Voyages Across the Pacific
While working on the Pamala, I traveled more than 2,000 miles into the central Pacific Ocean, reaching as far as the International Date Line. My journey took me to the coordinates 49.01 degrees North, 43.00 degrees South, and 144.38 degrees West—approximately halfway to Japan.
Departures and Duration
Our expeditions started in Honolulu, Hawaii. on a course to Astoria Oregon. Over the course of my time on the Pamala, I completed three separate trips, each lasting up to one month. Not being on land for weeks at a time is a challenge in itself.
Challenging Conditions at Sea
We encountered a wide range of weather conditions at sea. Sometimes, we faced winds reaching 35 knots and waves as high as 15 feet, while at other times, the ocean was completely calm. On one voyage, the Coast Guard tried to board our vessel, but the rough sea prevented them from coming aboard.
Our Success
Through these trips, we managed to catch a total of 1,009 albacore, marking a significant achievement for our crew.
During my time at sea, I encountered sharks, dolphins, and even witnessed a whale following our boat. The sunsets were the most beautiful I have ever seen, but the rough waters were also the most frightening experiences of my life.

Edgewood Resort Lake Tahoe
My husband and I hired Shawna as a partial planner for our wedding at Edgewood Resort, and she was truly a superhero! Shawna knows Edgewood inside and out, which made such a difference throughout the entire planning process. She helped us bring together all the final details leading up to the big day and kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. From the planning stages to the rehearsal to the wedding day itself, Shawna went above and beyond to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for us. On the day of the wedding, I wasn’t feeling well, and Shawna didn’t miss a beat—she ran to my hotel room to grab my medicine and noticed when I hadn’t eaten dinner. She made sure food and ginger ale were waiting for me in our room that night. Her attention to detail, kindness, and calm presence made all the difference. I can’t imagine our day without her and would recommend Shawna to anyone looking for a planner who truly cares and delivers in every way.

Shawna and her staff are absolutely amazing! She helped us plan our dream wedding at Valhalla and we had the most beautiful day! Shawna was very organized and helpful throughout the planning process and was always quick to respond. We planned our wedding from out of state so she was very helpful in picking up various items and dropping them off on her way in and out of South Lake Tahoe during our wedding week. We were extremely impressed with all of her vendor recommendations and her bartenders and staff were equally impressive. Our wedding was completely stress free and she kept everything on time and organized. We would highly recommend Shawna if you are getting married in the Reno-Tahoe area! We really got to know her well and will certain miss chatting and catching up every month.

We had a rather large wedding and she managed it wonderfully. From the rehearsal, to set up, to take down, she did it all! She even personally helped me tie up my dress when the bustles broke. She was professional and also fun. Leading up to our wedding she was easy to get ahold of and answered all our questions. We can not thank her enough for all that she did to make our wedding day amazing. Thank you Shawna so much!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Shawna! From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized, attentive, and truly invested in making our wedding day perfect. She helped us create a seamless timeline, brought our decor vision to life, and handled every detail with such care and professionalism.
On the day of the wedding, everything ran flawlessly thanks to Shawna. Her calm presence, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate needs allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was being handled behind the scenes. She ensured the day stayed on track and that every element came together beautifully.
Shawna went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her amazing service. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator (and event rentals!) who truly cares and delivers a perfect experience from start to finish!

Park Home Ranch
I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful Shawna is as a wedding planner. Not only did she help me with vendors and go on appointments with me, she set up the reception venue, orchestrated all events during the ceremony, made sure everything was perfect and on time and according to schedule at the reception hall.
Park Home Ranch
I cannot say enough about how absolutely wonderful Shawna is as a wedding planner. Not only did she help me with vendors and go on appointments with me, she set up the reception venue, orchestrated all events during the ceremony, made sure everything was perfect and on time and according to schedule at the reception hall. The next morning... Shawna was at the reception hall at 8am, tearing down decorations, collecting linens, boxing up items and helping us pack up everything and get it into the truck! Do wedding planners even do this? Guests raved about her personable service, professionalism and how she was so cool, no pressure, no hiccups--this is just what she does. And she made it look effortless. Shawna also officiated our wedding, helped us with vows to make it personalized and charming. If you are getting married...you need a best friend. My best friend was, without a doubt, Shawna! Weddings can be stressful, but I had the luxury of drinking mimosas and visiting with bridal party, guests, etc. because I had no worries-- nothing to stress over except the calories in the cake! If you have the opportunity to hire Shawna--do it! You will not be disappointed!! I'd give 50 stars if it would let me. She's a gem.
