Shannon Bryn Photo LLC

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,250
  • Serves Aliso Viejo, CA

If it's your first time here, welcome! My name is Shannon Montgomery, and I am a California and travel photographer that specializes in traditional+timeless weddings and elopements. I am always up for a good hike, enjoy rainy overcast days, and will always stop to pet any dogs in reach! Working in the garden, getting to visit any possible farm animal (but especially cows), and walking barefoot make me happiest. I love seeing the beauty in things that have endured the test of time, seen across the challenges and storms, and still stand in their own kind of beauty today.

We hired Shannon for our wedding this year and it was one of the best decisions we made! She not only kept everything on time but she became a friend on that day as well. She captured every picture we wanted on our photo listed and delivered the most beautiful pictures from our day. She is professional, hardworking and the nicest photographer we have met.

Marisa and Tim are the sweetest people you can imagine. Back in 2019 we began planning our wedding, so you can imagine that it took awhile for it to happen. They rolled with changes from 2020, to 2021, to 2022 and then after my wife and I got COVID the day before our wedding, to later in 2022! They were supportive and accommodating through what was one of the most tumultuous periods in our lives. They made us comfortable, they helped us get ready on the day of the wedding, they are infinitely giving and we will always be thankful for everything they did for us. Now, onto the photos! They're perfect! They're colorful and playful and everything we were looking for. We didn't just want conventional wedding photos, though we did get a number of classic ones that look great and made our parents very happy, we wanted something that felt like us. They also documented everything, from my custom pocket square to my wife's earrings to the invites, to the menus. Over two months later we're still going through the photos and getting enjoyment from them. We are so lucky to have worked with Marisa and Tim. They were a huge part of the best day of our lives and we're so grateful for them.

Whether you prefer posed portraits or candid moments, I'll craft a collection that reflects your unique story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I wish I’d spoke up on being self conscious about my butt, and I didn’t so I have some pictures I probably won’t be sharing, but the pictures we have are pretty, she got everything I wanted during our ceremony, I just wish I had gotten some pictures with my bridesmaids and me in my wedding dress. The ball got dropped on that. Other than that I’m happy with my ceremony pictures, and some of the pictures where I’m facing away from the camera I’m not a huge fan of. My husband loves them though, so that’s good. There was some miscommunication on editing and what not, but over all we got some really good photos.

I photograph the stories of couples who love big adventures and little details; couples who know the value of embracing old traditions and the thrill of creating their own; couples who believe that their wedding is about more than just a day of celebration, but a lifetime of love. Real love is a big deal. And for the couples that I have the joy of working with, so is their wedding photography. At the end of your big day, other than that new lifelong partner in crime you’ve hitched yourself to, your photos are all that you get to take with you.

Hannah was super kind, professional and very easy to work with. Her energy and personality was perfect for the 3am Sunrise session our Bride booked! The photos were SO awesome, seriously still some of my top favorites ever taken in Yosemite. I especially loved that she was able to catch some starry sky photos and encouraged The Bride / Groom to show off their personality with their Star wars accessories!

Hey guys! My name’s Jennifer Auner, a professional third-wheeler. I’m also a mama to two of the sweetest little guys around Rudy + Daniel, and wife to my high school sweetheart, Chris. My obsessions include the art of drag, Disneyland dates, and finding the best boba in every town I visit!

This is my 2nd time being married and I hated my wedding photos from my first wedding so my wedding photos were a top priority for my wedding. I was referred to Jennifer and from our first communication I just felt like she was the way to go - I trusted my gut and I was not disappointed. While I haven't received all of my final photos I have gotten a large teaser album and I'm obsessed with it all. She was incredible to talk with during the planning process and was a dream on the wedding day. She killed the checklist and sticking to the timeline!

For over a decade, I've photographed some of life's biggest moments for my clients and their families. In that time, I've learned to look past the ordinary and capture the heart of each story. I connect with each couple to create photographs that will make you say "That is so us!"

Awarded Best of Zola
Belinda. Is. Amazing. You don't even need to keep reading, you should just go book her for your next photography needs (especially for your wedding). Why is Belinda amazing? First and foremost, her photography is incredible. She took so many gorgeous photos from both our engagement session and our wedding day that are just stunning, many of which now hang in our home (and our families' homes... We spread Belinda's photography far and wide!). Belinda has an amazingly high attention to quality and detail, and the hardest work ethic. So first and foremost, the final products she creates are just incredible. But it's not just the final product that matters; it's also the process of getting there. Your photographer is someone who is going to be sharing and capturing some of your most intimate and important life milestones. You want someone who is a joy to work with (and whose team is a joy to work with), who is organized, calming, and knows how to run the show and keep a cool head when things go off plan (as they inevitably will in ways large or small). That is Belinda. Aside from her photography, her "shepherding" skills were invaluable throughout the entire wedding process, from the preparation, to the day of the wedding, to the follow up (which lasted many more months as we selected our prints, etc.). Plus you get the added bonus of her wonderful husband Collyn, too! Belinda knows how to run the show, and do so in a kind, calming, and discreet way (family drama? Belinda's got it handled!). She keeps you on time, stress-free, and having fun along the way. She makes it so that you can enjoy your special moments AND you get amazing photography out of it, to boot. I can't say enough great things and my husband and I both can't wait to work with Belinda again.

Hey there! My name is Katie and I am a part-time photographer and small business owner. My veins are filled with iced coffee and, most of the time, all I want to do is dance. Unlike most, I began my photography career later in life during my college days where I discovered film photography. I spent countless hours in the dark room developing photographs in chemicals and I loved every minute of it. I would describe my photography style as bold and true to color. My favorite part of photography is capturing moments that tell a story so that no matter how much time passes, you can go back and relive that story over and over again.

We were really happy to work with Norbert, he was always responsive, flexible and very attentive to our questions. He was very professional and friendly to us at all times. Plus, he gave us some great recommendations around the area that we hadn't even heard of! We have never really had pictures taken of us before in a romantic setting by a professional before, that alone was pretty intimidating for us. Norbert made the entire photo experience a lot less intimidating for us to go through, the pictures came out perfect in the end! Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely recommend him to anyone marrying in the future in need of a photographer.

I am so excited that you stopped by because that means you are looking for your PERFECT PHOTOGRAPHER! Someone who will capture your day in a way that reflects the love, joy, and FUN that comes from your SPECIAL day! And that is my goal with every photo session. I make it personal for you which means not only will I come to your day with great ideas for posing, but I will work with the relationship and chemistry that you two have to make it unique to you! You don’t have to worry about a thing but just go with the flow and have fun (unless you have an idea you would love to do then let’s do it!).

Larissa was first to mind when our family made vacation plans to Yosemite. I knew I wanted to capture our Family in the best way possible and to have beautiful images to look back on and remember our trip. With the California fires, we had to redirect our travel plans and Larissa was extremely accommodating. We ended up in Palm Springs and she followed us through the day, capturing our family outing and backyard pool play - in the BEST way possible. She was calm which helped me keep my stress levels down and she was so playful with my kids, ensuring we got some great photos of us all! Thanks Larissa!

Photography has always been a lifelong passion of mine, I picked up my first camera as a gift from my dad when I was 14 years old. Never in a million years would I have thought that my lifelong hobby could eventually become my career. I focused on my future, working my way through college and grad school to achieve my license to practice, but a part of me realized that I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to go on adventures and meet a lot of new people. So in 2019, I took that risk, changed my hours from full time to part time and put more focus on my photography. I booked my first gig later that year and have never looked back.

10/10 would recommend randall!! We booked him for our engagement shoot and wedding and we are beyond appreciative and impressed. RDL is the only photographer my husband and I could agree on. We liked his photography style, the quality of the work, the price, and his personality. He even guided us with the timeline to make the most of the time and photography. For both the engagement shoot and wedding day, he guided us and made us feel comfortable. We’re def not models but he made us look great! We were able to get some posed shots and some Candids. He was PATIENT with us and didn’t make us feel awkward at all. The day of the wedding, I got so many compliments from our families with how they appreciated his presence. He kindly directed people and was patient with us and our guests. Def professional guy and just honestly a good personality. He’s also priced well. Def recommend booking a consult and booking him for your events!! You won’t regret it
