What I do 

Hi, I'm Shannon. I'm a traveling documentary wedding photographer based in Boone, North Carolina. I have found that my life’s obsession with cinema and fashion photography have come together to blend narrative storytelling with an editorial flair that will leave you with tasteful, yet honest images. 


intimate, honest & nostalgic

Im Shannon

The one behind the camera

I’m a jumble of contradictions. I'm East coast based, but West coast raised. I’m a laid back jokester with a very serious passion for my craft. I blame my Boston bred husband for my ability to keep up with the filthiest of potty mouths, but in my heart I'm a girl's girl. 

I am an enneagram 7, which means, I’m enthusiastic about almost everything (think golden retriever energy) but I WILL cry if I see your grandparents do… honestly anything. I'm incredibly sentimental, which means I'm sappy and will tear up no less than ten times during your wedding. 

One of the highest compliments I’ve ever received was “You just have such an excitement to live.” and that really sums it up better than I ever could. I'm happy to be here, and I'm happy to see what tomorrow brings, always.

Seriously though, she captured our day perfectly. The emotion is all there in the photos. For someone who hates having their picture taken, Shannon made me feel comfortable and really just have fun with it! She caught so many sneaky pics that really tell our story. She is a joy of a human and I am better for having met her. Jeremy and I are so grateful for all the beautiful/sweet/hilarious memories that were so beautifully documented on our wedding day!

What can I even say about my wedding photos? Simply unbelievable. I initially had a hard time choosing our photographer, because to me, this is the most important vendor of the day…
After our phone call with Shannon I knew she was the one… she got it. The way she described her approach was spot on to what I was looking for.  She captured our wedding day better than I could have even imagined… there were shots I had no idea were even being taken. Shots of my family during our ceremony, during our receptions and speeches I totally missed that I will cherish forever. Not only does she deliver amazing work, but she is a breath of fresh air to be around. Down to earth, hilarious, and my entire family talked about how much they liked her by the end of the day. You won’t regret having her as your photographer. Trust me.

Shannon was absolutely, hands down, the best vendor to work with. She is such an amazing photographer and so dedicated to who she works with. She was so responsive and also helped with any questions or ideas I needed for the wedding day. How she works with you shows how much she loves what she does. Loved our photos from our engagement and wedding so much!

Shannon was the best decision I could’ve made for our wedding day. Your pictures are what’s going to last forever and she captured the day beautifully. When looking at your pictures, it will bring you back to the moment and how it FELT. Not only is she extremely talented, but working with her from start to finish was a dream. She gets to know you as an individual, takes away your stress, is extremely knowledgeable, and makes you feel completely comfortable. Shannon is your girl!

Words cannot describe how absolutely amazing Shannon Leopold Photography is. From the moment we booked with Shannon she made us as a couple feel so important and our experience wonderful.
