The Haven at Tomales Wedding – Lila + Jonathan

Shannon Rosan — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 20:05:10 +0000

Marin County is full of insanely gorgeous venues, but nothing is quite like The Haven at Tomales wedding. From the rolling hills, to the dreamy mist (depending on the time of year), the adorable livestock that love to steal the show (more below on that!). Not to mention the lovely owners who care so much for their couples, the land and the animals. It’s a dream location.

Lila and Jonathan opted to do a First Look. This allowed for a special moment to just the two of them plus some bovine friends 🙂 Jonathan’s reaction was incredible! Not only did it give them a special moment to themselves, it also allowed for lots of bride and groom photos out in the stunning landscape that we couldn’t have gotten otherwise. Plus, way more time for them to enjoy with family and friends after the ceremony. It was a win-win-win.

Thank you to all their vendors! Can’t wait to photograph another The Haven Tomales Wedding!

Deer Park Villa Wedding | Priya + Sam

Shannon Rosan — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 22:24:01 +0000

Very excited to share with you Priya and Sam’s Deer Park Villa Wedding! With the current pandemic I have become very nostalgic for joyful events like this one and thought it was time I start sharing all the incredible weddings I’ve photographed from last season.

This Winter wedding was not hindered one bit by the rain. Even when it turned into a total downpour. I admired Priya, Sam and all their loved ones who celebrated so joyfully! There was no way the rain was gonna bring anyone down. Loved how Priya and Sam made their wedding so personal to them. Blending traditions and creating new ones. For example, the traditional groom processional the Baraat was done with the bride instead.

Mendocino Engagement Photos | Mariah + Colton

Shannon Rosan — Thu, 16 May 2019 10:00:51 +0000

Meaningful Mendocino engagement photos are my fave!

Engagement sessions are the best when they represent who you are as a couple in a setting that is important and meaningful to your relationship. It’s more than just a pretty background. For Mariah and Colton that led them to doing their photos in a redwood grove where they went camping together with their families. Plus they brought along their fur babies which couldn’t have been more purfect. SEE WHAT I DID THERE! lol So thrilled to share with you their Mendocino engagement photos.

From the bride-to-be, Mariah,

“The pictures are amazing!!!! Thank you so much Shannon, they are more than I could’ve ever imagined. I love all of them! I am so excited for you to photograph our wedding!!!”

On our session I brought one of my beloved vintage cameras a Polaroid SX-70. It’s unpredictable but creates moody, soft images like nothing else. I love to experiment and push myself creatively.

Mariah + Colton,

Thank you so much for taking me with you to all those amazing places for your destination engagement session! I adored spending time with you and capturing your love 🙂

XOXO,

Shannon

Land’s End Engagement Session | Kerry + Josh

Shannon Rosan — Fri, 11 Jan 2019 11:45:31 +0000

I like to craft my sessions around locations that are meaningful or bring a lot of joy for my couples. For Kerry + Josh that meant us visiting their favorite coffee shop (+ pizza place too!) – The Mill.

I just love the casual vibes and documenting them – being together.

For our next location we went to Land’s End in San Francisco. Kerry + Josh love the outdoors and going on walks and hikes together, so it was a perfect fit.

OVY Camp Wedding | Bay Area Wedding Photographer

Shannon Rosan — Thu, 11 Oct 2018 10:00:58 +0000

When I first talked with Laura, she mentioned how important it was to capture real moments. That posed pictures were not her and Nick’s thing. Meanwhile I was doing a major happy dance on the other end of the phone because I’m all about REAL MOMENTS. I thrive on capturing emotion. To be able to document how someones wedding actually felt like is a huge deal to me. And WOW were there so many emotion filled moments during Nick and Laura’s OVY Camp Wedding in San Gregorio, Ca.

Just a few of my fave moments were:
-Laura’s dad hamming it up when Laura was getting ready, and, well all the time.
His toast was epic as well 🙂
-Nick’s reaction when he saw Laura at the altar.
-Me running backwards, while Laura + Nick made their way through an
epic sparkler transition to their reception.
-Laura performing with her bestie Nick’s favorite song, Dani California by the Red Hot Chili Peppers – his reaction was legendary.
-THE best most energetic sing-a-long to Bohemian Rhapsody at the reception.

Absolutely loved documenting Liam and Alexandra’s San Francisco Russian Orthodox Kohl Mansion wedding! For me, wedding photography is all about capturing how the day truly felt. It’s about the moments. And I’m so excited to share all the incredible moments from Liam and Alexandra’s day!

We started off at Alexandra’s parents home in San Francisco for getting ready before moving onto the ceremony at Holy Virgin Cathedral.

From there I hopped in the limo with the bridal party and we were off to their Kohl Mansion wedding down in Burlingame. The mansion was absolutely gorgeous! And we had a special surprise guest! Alexandra surprised Liam with the mascot from the Giants – Lou Seal!! Such a fun moment 🙂
