Garden Inspired Rosemary Beach Wedding | Rosemary Beach Wedding Photography | Shannon Griffin Photography

February 12, 2020 in weddings

Brooke and Kevin had the most gorgeous garden inspired Rosemary Beach Wedding. I could have photographed these two for days. The florals, light, backdrop, and mood were perfection. The two kept it very simple and decided to only have one bridesmaid and one groomsmen, both being their siblings. I love intimate details like this because it kept the day simple and full of connection.

How do I know when someone is a dream client? Let’s start with the email I received from Melissa THE DAY AFTER SHE WAS ENGAGED to John.

“Hey Shannon!

My name is Melissa. I have been following you and your work and falling more and more in love ever since you did my best friends wedding in July of 2016. Nuni & Zeth Ford was the wedding. You were elegant and professional & it was almost as if you weren’t even there. But the details of that day that you were able to capture was indescribable. All of that being said, I’m engaged! He proposed last night. I know I might be overzealous in contacting you this quickly, but I would love for you to be the one that captured our big day. We are flexible on the date but we were shooting for November 16, 2019, and wondering if you would be available? Look forward to hearing from you.”

Being Casandra and Andy's Carillon Beach wedding photographer is something I'll never forget. It was so full of love, warmth, joy, and dancing. Oh...the dancing! Casandra and Andy met during a night out and are really passionate about music and dancing, so much so that they flew in their own DJ from New York. These two planned their beach wedding all the way from Brooklyn New York. Peach and Pearl Events teamed with Myrtie Blue to create a gorgeous color pallet. Brian, of Myrtie Blue, and his team created a masterpiece of florals. The blush and greens mixed so beautifully with the deep purples. They turned the inside of the reception tent into an elegant reception for Casandra and Andy's closest friends and family. I couldn't keep my eyes off of Casandra's incredible cathedral length veil and metallic Prada shoes.

What You've Taught Me

January 01, 2020 in boudoir, family, maternity, weddings

I love looking at the “Top Nine” most liked photos of the year. It’s a way to not only reflect on moments captured and memories made, but it also shows me what YOU connect with the most. I used to be so afraid to put myself out there. I was afraid of rejection and possibly, even more so, connection.

Connection meant that you were actually engaged. It meant that you cared about what I was putting out there and that also meant that I had an obligation. It was no longer about me and my work. Putting myself out there meant that every time I posted a photograph or to my blog, you were reading my words.
