Today we’d like to introduce you to Shannon McLaughlin
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I first got started with wedding photography during February 2020! The world was about to shut down due to COVID but amazingly, I had just started working for some incredible photographers- Brand and Jen- as their creative admin. Little by little I started learning more from them, shooting from them, and then they were gracious enough to encourage me to go off on my own!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I’ve been thankful that the struggles are ones to be expected! Such as gaining the courage to raise prices and to have more “no’s”. It’s a good problem to have but also messes with you at times!
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I specialize in documentary style photography, shot digitally and on film. I’m most proud that I create really wonderful relationships with my couples and their people. And then that usually allows for the photos to be more genuine as well!!
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
I would like to do a few less weddings and work mainly in out of state. Particularly in New York, California, or Hawaii! But also thankful for the weddings that I get to shoot at home. 🙂
