Switzerland Elopement Photographer

"My partner and I did a shoot with Shawna on the Belgian coast in De Haan. From the photos on Shawna's website we could see that this is an extremely talented photographer, not one of those that you have a dime in a dozen, but really the best of the best, de crème de la crème.

The shoot itself was super fun and not at all awkward. Shawna had original ideas and told us exactly what we could do. The relaxed atmosphere also allowed her to take a lot of spontaneous photos and capture us as a couple as who we really are. It's also really nice to talk to her during the shoot, she has tons of experience and has already been a bit all over the world.

Despite the fact that I knew she was incredibly talented, I fell off my chair looking at the photos. Wow! I was going to be happy if there was one beautiful photo, but I got all beautiful photos and believe me, this is completely Shawna's credit. Everyone around me congratulated me with the beautiful photos, from family and friends to colleagues.

The photos are an invaluable gift to us, something we will cherish forever. Don't hesitate, book Shawna. You buy something that you can look back on for the rest of your life, beautiful photos that I think you can't find anywhere else. Thank you Shawna for the beautiful photos, we are forever grateful to you!"

"Shawna was very communicative, checked in on us often, and answered all of our questions with clear answers. She worked hard to make sure we had the perfect day, and was a perfect balance between decisiveness and giving us options.

We chose to go with Shawna because we fell in love with her portfolio and the way she encapsulated each couples true love story. Fast forward to “the day”, all of that came to life and we saw how meticulous, mindful, and thoughtful she was in capturing the story of our relationship. Every detail, whether crucial or seemingly insignificant, was brought together into a perfect day that celebrated us.

As far as the days events and how we felt in front of the camera…we are terrible at posing for any photos, but despite this Shawna made us feel so comfortable, and confident, and we were able to be ourselves without worrying about what we were doing or where our hands were (if you know you know)

Shawna sent us a sneak peek the next evening and we were in awe...just speechless. It validated our desire to skip a traditional wedding and elope in a country, a place, that was so special and so beautiful. An entire year of planning with backlash from our entire family, became worth it in the end when we experienced a day we will never forget. The photos were pure magic, and we have no doubts that we made the right decision.

Due to weather conditions, we weren’t able to do some of our original locations but Shawna quickly pivoted and offered wonderful solutions that turned out to be better than we could have imagined. The locations for our shoot included Alpe di Suisi, Santa Cristina and Passo Gardena.

Thank you Shawna!!! ♥️"
