About

Overview & Vibe

Shannan Griffiths is a Melbourne love-story photographer working since 2022, documenting weddings and elopements in Melbourne and worldwide. Her framing is deliberately warm: she describes sessions that feel like quality time with a good friend, and a wedding day where your only job is to show up and be in love while she handles the rest.

Style & Approach

Romantic, candid and editorial, with a cinematic, down-to-earth eye. She goes after emotion and connection rather than arrangement — in her words, less “stand here and smile” and more slow golden-hour wandering, genuine giggles and the quiet moments that actually mean something. She shoots digital alongside complimentary thirty five millimetre film, and has worked on drone as well.

Ideal For

Couples who want more than pretty photographs — images that feel like them and hold up years later. She suits people who want a photographer who will hype them up and honour their vision while slipping into the day so naturally the guests barely notice a camera. Elopements get the same energy as full celebrations, with a planning call to find a location that fits.

The Need-to-Knows

Weddings run to an average investment of $7,000 to $10,000 and elopements $4,000 to $6,000, with travel within ninety minutes of Melbourne included. Every booking brings the whole gallery on a keepsake wooden USB, sneak peeks inside forty-eight hours and the full gallery within eight weeks. A signed contract and a retainer secure the date, and booked couples get a thirty-page guide, an engagement shoot and a planning call.

Standout Feature

The process is unusually generous for a solo photographer: a questionnaire so she knows your story before she picks up a camera, an engagement shoot built in so you are comfortable on the day, a check-in call two months out, and a text on the morning itself. Ask about the a la carte list — rehearsal dinner coverage and post-wedding bridal portraits are both on it.
