"My husband and I made a lot of the right decisions for our wedding -- but one of the biggest was having Shawna do our photos. She made us feel comfortable with her quick wit and easy laugh, was assertive enough to wrangle our rowdy groomsmen, patient and kind enough to coax our reluctant ringbearers into photos, made our folks laugh, fixed my hair (dress, necklace...), etc., etc., etc., -- and really gave us something that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. She captured not just moments from our day, but also all of the love that surrounds us. Shawna is incredibly wonderful -- both at what she does and who she is -- in a heartbeat, we would recommend her to anyone!"

"I cannot say enough about Shawna. Her talent is obvious, look at her photos! What you do not see (the behind the camera action) is her passion. It's palpable, it's invigorating and it is why her photos are stunning. She is confident and calming and makes us feel so very comfortable. She is magic."
Katie + Dan
"Shawna was amazing to work with for our wedding and all of our photos turned out gorgeously!! She made us feel comfortable and we had so much fun taking our pictures!
She's also so easy to get in touch with during the wedding planning process and happily answers any questions you have.

"The most amazing person you could ever have the opportunity to work with!
Rachel + Paul
"Out of all the decisions we made for our wedding, having Shawna take our photos was by far the best... She was very quick with all the young children I had in my wedding, was very funny and good at putting everyone at ease, and even managed to make the best of our very windy, rainy, and cold orchard wedding. We will definitely turn to her for our family photos in the future. I can not possibly say enough nice things about her talent- and everyone else at the wedding has been giving me compliments about her ever since!"
Angela + Bill
"If I could give Shawna more stars, I would! The most important thing, other than actually getting married, was choosing an amazing photographer and I am so glad we found Shawna! To have the special memories she captured to pass along to our family and future generations, it means so much to me! From first meeting with her, to our engagement shoot, and then the big day, by the time Shawna left, it was like she was part of our family. She is such a kind hearted, down to earth, all around fantastic person! I received so many compliments from my bridal party and family about how amazing she was. The talent that she has is hands down phenomenal! If you are looking for a photographer, I would highly recommend Shawna Vine!"
Sasha
"Shawna is the absolute BEST! I felt so comfortable and beautiful throughout the WHOLE shoot...AND it didn't feel too posed, we just sort of took a walk together and snapped photos along the way. I especially liked the way she gives subtle direction and fixed my hair for me. :) So easy to work with, has an amazing eye for light and composition, and is just plain fun to be around. The finished product brings out your personality and inner beauty. The images speak for themselves!

"She was AMAZING, the pictures are beautiful, she did a great job making my daughter feel comfortable, and her rate was very reasonable! Love her and recommend her every chance I get!"
Morgan + Buck
"LOVE LOVE LOVE Shawna and her work!
Her work is nothing short of stunning. The beauty of her photos speak for themselves.
The real cherry on top though is Shawna herself... she's a remarkably fun, talented and charismatic human who was able to make me and my husband, who are very uncomfortable in front of a camera, feel like supermodels. She put us at ease, allowing her to capture the authentic and emotional photos that I love. She's also very organized and efficient which was awesome since I threw a LOT of family photos at her. Lastly, she was quick to respond to emails (even when she was on vacation in Ireland!) and made getting to know us a priority. She started the day as our photographer but by the end of the day she had also became a friend.
All-in-all, her presence on our wedding day was a gift to us and I would highly recommend Shawna to anyone looking for a great photographer!"
Eric + Annie
"Shawna was such a delight to work with! We had met her for the first time on our wedding day and her bubbly-charismatic personality made us feel totally comfortable, as neither of us are comfortable in front of the camera. Other than being wonderful behind the camera, she was sooo helpful in all aspects of random wedding needs! Our sneak peaks turned out great, and we are excited for what's to come! We would definitely recommend Shawna!"
Beth + Jim
"We absolutely loved our experience with Shawna! She was professional, kind & got great shots of our family. A true gem!"
Cory + Marlo
"Shawna is fantastic! My fiance and I are so happy with our engagement photos! We came all the way from Colorado to take them in Duluth and Shawna was very open to our ideas and willing to work with us!
Thanks so much, Shawna!
