We are back from vacation and I am sorting through the photos I took on the ‘big’ camera and on film.
I love my fancy cameras, but something I love having at my fingertips is my iPhone for quick snaps. Here is a small collage of my vacation as seen through the iPhone. All of these were taken with the Hipstamatic and Shake It apps.

I love this one!
Lee and Lindsay’s lovely wedding at Kali Kate Farms in Buda had so many personal touches. On each table, there was a small notebook (in the shades of the wedding colors) and on various pages, Lindsay had stamped questions like “Where did you travel from?” “Tell us a love story” “What’s your favorite wedding memory?”
By the end of the evening, they had books full of joyful notes from friends and family. What a treasure.

That’s right!
It’s the slightly slower summer season and I am looking to do some creative and FUN shoots with ideas that have been rattling around in my brain. I have (almost – don’t want to jinx it) one of the coolest spaces in town lined up for a shoot and I need MODELS!
Currently, I am looking for a couple AND a pretty, lively gal to be a bride for a shoot. Later on, there will be other opportunities for families/kids.
Here are the details and the requirements and the perks. This shoot will take place sometime in the next 15-60 days.
For the couple shoot - you must be a couple, or at the very least, willing to be really lovey with each other. This part of the shoot is going to be a very styled engagement shoot. You’ll have access to makeup and wardrobe and I have some of the coolest vendors in town working with me. You will look amazing, I promise. You also must be able to model during the week. My time at the location is going to be short and specific. I need you to be flexible. Also, you have to do what I say. This is an editorial-style shoot, which means my ideas win and you have to do them. I promise it won’t be anything weird. You also have to be OK with me submitting these photos for publication.
For the bridal shoot - same dealy. We’ll supply wardrobe and makeup/hair. You just have to do what I say and be available during the week. See above.
Who ‘s Eligible? Anyone! Past clients, future clients, people that have been married 5 years. I’m looking for a specific ‘look’ is all.
What Do You Get? Well, first of all – a super fun photo shoot! Also, you’ll get a disc of high resolution images or some prints for your hard work.
Interested? Woo-Hoo! Please send me an email with the following:
- A photo of both of you (a snapshot is OK).
- Both of your basic sizes (tops, pants, shirt, dress, etc). We’ll need those to pull wardrobe.
- Names and contact information.
Thank you so much for helping me create some AMAZING images!!

I love wedding details. You are all so creative and unique and every wedding has something new and inspiring for me to photograph (and drool over – if I ever do a vow renewal, it will be the most blinged-out-detail-fest.)
So as the busy spring season winds down for me, I’d like to start highlighting some of the incredible details I see. Lots of times, they make the blog post, but not always, so I’d like to show more of them. It could be a bouquet, or shoes, or cool favor – just some fun Friday eye candy for you.
First up, a small but awesome detail from Cassie and Sam’s wedding at Vista West Ranch (big blog post coming once I’m back from my trip). The trend lately has been kinda vintage, kinda shabby chic and I love that look, but I do love a bit of glamour now and then.
Check out Cassie’s gorgeous, long, dangly, sparkly earrings! Way to bring the bling!

When you see a certain flower that is in this part of Texas for a very specific time period, you will know how behind I am in blogging.
My slow blogging does not mean I love these two any less though. Kristin and Nik and I had a great time during their engagement session. We battled traffic on South Congress during first Thursday, wind, the threat of rain – pretty much a full plate of drama as far as shoots go. It didn’t matter how weird the circumstance, though, these two were calm and trusted in me. They are so lovely together. I think you’ll agree.
I can’t wait for your fall wedding! Thanks to Barbara of Barbara’s Brides for bringing us together. (Aren’t we all dreaming of fall this time of year?)

Just a little reminder to let you know I’m still out of the office.
Calls and emails will be returned in earnest starting July 26th.
Thank you so much for your patience while my family and I spend some much needed time together.
Also, for your viewing pleasure – what’s the best part about hotel rooms when you’re four? Why all the jumping on the bed you could ask for of course!

The return of Saturday Sweetness posts! This one is not about food, but something equally as adorable….Doggies!
My brother and sister-in-law got themselves a puppy and here he is! So sweet and good natured and we love him. Welcome to the family pup!

A few months ago, I entered a super fun contest called ‘Emerge’. It’s different than ones I’ve entered in the past as you were required to enter 10 images from the same wedding in each category rather than a single image. The point was to craft a story with your entry.
I found that intriguing because that’s what I strive for when I’m shooting a wedding. I’m certainly not a strict photojournalist – I love fun portraits and amazing shoe shots and cool ring photos. However, preserving the story of one of the most important days in a couple’s life is something that is very dear to me.
So anyway, long story short, I won ‘Honorable Mention’ in the ‘Venue’ category. I didn’t take the Grand Prize, but I’ll take 4th. I’m pretty proud of fourth.
I chose Amanda and Timur’s purple Laguna Gloria Wedding as my entry for this category. This was a gorgeous wedding made so beautiful with Amanda’s vision and the awesome planning and execution of a great team of vendors including Prive Floral and Becky Brock with BZ Events. Plus, Laguna Gloria was a natural choice for a ‘venue’ category’.
Here are the images.

So if you’ve been coming around this part of the interwebs for a while, you may have noticed that I’ve changed a few things up.
First is my new, shiny, fantastique logo designed by The amazing Rachel Titsworth of Titsworth Creative. Yes, that is her name and yes, she does have a sense of humor about it. Rachel designed my last logo as well (it’s on her website). She is so talented, a great listener and a lovely person to be around. If your brand needs some spiffing, she’s your girl.
In addition to work for businesses like me, she is also a very talented stationary and invitation designer. So brides, give her a call if you’re looking for a fresh, one of a kind, wow your guests, invitation design.
Next is the blog layout and design. It’s not that different from what I had before, but there are some fun new things to check out. I now have little badges up in the left hand corner that will take you directly to my Twitter Feed and Facebook page if you’re into all that social media fun (which I am. Try to pry my smart phone out of my hands – just try it. ). I am going to be doing some Facebook only announcements from time to time, so be sure to ‘Like’ me. You can also submit a contact form directly from the Facebook page. Yea technology!
You can also ‘like ‘a post straight from the blog. Just click on the ‘Like’ button that’s at the end of the post. It’s a great way to share photos.
There is also a new and improved contact form and feed subscription button in the menu at the top of the blog.You’re subscribed to my blog right? RIGHT?
That’s about it for now. I’m sure I’ll be futzing around making some minor tweaks in the weeks to come. I’ll be adding some galleries and more detailed information pages. There will also be some MAJOR changes to the structure of Shannon Cunningham Photography in the next few months. Don’t worry, I’ll still be shooting all the same stuff, it’s just going to be organized in a way that makes more sense for all of the different types of clients I serve. It’s going to be a fun summer around here!
XOXO
~Shannon

It’s vacation time at Shannon Cunningham Photography!!!!
The family and I are headed out of town for some recharging. I’m planning on lounging and some sand castle building with the little person.
**This means that I will be out of the office from Monday July 12 and I
will begin returning calls and emails again on Monday July 26th**
I will probably have some limited access to email and will try to check it a few times, but in general, there are no photographic emergencies, so I appreciate your patience about my response time.
Due to blog magic, I will have some posts for you to look over while I’m gone, so please keep checking back. In the meantime, Aloha!
