The wedding this past weekend at Silverbrook Farm was a real jaw dropper. From the florals to the decor, to the guests, and of course my couple, Steffanie and Greg. When I show up for a wedding, I usually start with a few detail shots to document everything from the wedding gown to the decor for the reception. When I saw Steffi's gown made by Watters, I had to pause and admire it. It was so gorgeous and different from most of the gowns I am seeing these days. The color was a beautiful …

My favorite things, Talenti: Virginia Wedding Photographer
If you are on a diet or trying to get in shape for your wedding, then I apologize in advance for this post and I suggest you just click the little "x" button in the upper left hand corner of your screen.

Today I want to share with you something that's great for wedding photographers and brides too. Urban Decay is one of my favorite makeup brands. I love their color palettes and their makeup is designed to last all day. When you live in a state like Virginia where it's super humid in the summer, that makeup …
What inspires me at the moment: Virginia Wedding Photographer
I was chatting with my mom on the phone the other day, as we often do and my mom asked me the question: "Shauna, what inspires you?" It got me thinking of all the things that I feel are influencing my art these days and while some of these may seem silly or even questionable, I swear I think they influence me :) And no I am not getting paid by anyone or company I am featuring here. My road. I get to run on this sweet piece of earth as often as it's not raining. Every day it …
