    One in a million

    From our first call with Shawon, we knew we were in good hands. Not only does she have such a warm and fun energy (that persisted even when she was walking down a beach filled with jagged shells and seaweed on a 90° day to get our ~perfect~ shot) but she is clearly a certified pro. We had just had to cancel our big wedding, and were scrambling to come up with a new re-imagined elopement. Her expertise was clear as she advised us on a timeline for our elopement and photos, and she even helped us choose the best spot in our backyard for the ceremony based on the lighting and time of day (using only photos I had snapped of the property!). She knows how to work with nature to bring out the best for treasured moments. One thing I particularly loved about Shawon was how she knew when to let the organic moments happen (she captured so many cute, unexpected giggles) and when to help us with posing to get a prime elegant shot. I don't think things like that are really teachable - Shawon is one special lady!

    Shawon is amazing!

    Shawon is an amazing photographer and person! She was incredibly easy to work with, and she has so much experience working all kinds of different weddings. We were at the Oceanview of Nahant for our wedding and ceremony. We loved our engagement and wedding photos, and our parents really loved the photos too (they tend to be more picky and critical about photos!). For us, we really liked the Shawon's photography style, and we think she has a gift for capturing natural moments (in addition to being great at directing and taking posed photos). Our final product photos were super high quality, and her albums are incredibly beautiful. We highly recommend checking out Shawon's work, and if any photos speak to you, you should definitely reach out! The price was definitely worth it for us.

    It was an absolute pleasure to work with Shawon!

    After our first initial call, we instantly knew she was the person and photographer we trusted to capture the special moments of our engagement and wedding. We love and appreciate that she took the time to get to know us, understand what types of pictures we're looking to have, and her fun and charming personality.

    Shawon is passionate about photography, and it is evident through her work. We are highly impressed with the quality of the photographs and her quick turnaround time on both engagement and wedding pictures. From the lighting and composition to the actual moments captured, we could not ask for anything better. Since our wedding, we have received numerous compliments from our family and friends on not only the photographs but her professionalism and warm personality. Shawon’s photographs are beyond what we could have envisioned for our big day. We cannot express how grateful we are that we chose her as our photographer. She was hands down our favorite person to work with as we planned our wedding, and by the end felt more like a family friend we had known for years rather than a vendor.

    If you are looking for a wedding photographer you can trust, capture your special moments, and celebrate with you, look no further than Shawon Davis Photography.

    Simply the best!

    Shawon was, hands down, the best decision we made for our wedding! From the second we chose her as our photographer to the email we got with the link to our photos, the experience was fun and stress-free. When searching for a photographer, we wanted someone who could successfully capture the diverse skin tones in our families, make the experience fun and laid-back, create an album that highlights our personalities and love, and who could impress my photographer husband:). Shawon exceeded all of our expectations, and I am so grateful that we chose her! It was so hard to say goodbye at the end of the night because I felt like one of my friends was leaving. You will 100% not be disappointed if you choose Shawon to capture the best day of your life!

    Best wedding vendor you’ll ever have!!

    Book. Shawon. If there is any piece of advice I would give to couples planning their wedding, it would be to hire Shawon as their photographer. From day one she was our favorite vendor, and felt more like a guest we wanted at our wedding than someone we hired for the big day. She is phenomenal at preparation, incredibly organized, had some fun surprises for us along the way, and is one of the kindest and loviest people you will ever meet. Her positive and bubbly energy on our wedding day was exactly what we needed, and we felt so comfortable. Our photos were INCREDIBLE and we could not have been happier. Multiple friends and family members have said they plan on booking her for their special days, and we’ve told them it would be their best wedding decision. We will 100% be lifelong customers!

    SO happy we picked Shawon!

    I don't know if I can sing Shawon's praises enough! My husband and I are both very camera shy, as well as organizationally challenged, and Shawon made each step of the way so easy and exciting for us. We knew as soon as we had our first meeting she was the photographer for us. She listened to what we wanted and spent the time to get to know us as a couple to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. All the planning leading up was made so much easier by her check ins and after a scheduling session over video chat a month or so before the wedding, I instantly felt more calm and ready for the big day! The day of was a blur, but I felt so comfortable in front of the camera. Our bridal party and family also commented on how amazing she was. And most importantly, the pictures we received were incredible! I normally hate looking at photos of myself but I find myself scrolling through them all the time. I cannot recommend Shawon enough and am so happy with our choice!

    Incredible wedding photographer who is an absolute pleasure to work with

    If you are getting married in New England, I highly recommend hiring Shawon to photograph your big day. I almost did not reach out to Shawon because I thought there was no way someone with her talent was in our budget, but I’m so glad I did because she was our dream photographer and in our budget!! Booking her to be our wedding photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding on Cape Cod this past August. From the moment I spoke to her on the phone I knew that this warm, kind, calm, and organized person needed to be part of my day. Every time I talked to her throughout the process I instantly felt more relaxed. She was an incredible help for us, guiding us through a lot of important wedding details including planning our day of schedule and keeping us on time throughout the wedding day. In person she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very detailed oriented and gives clear instructions for photographs, but more importantly she helped us stay relaxed and enjoy every minute of our engagement and wedding photographs. Every person we talked to throughout the planning process only had good things to say about Shawon when we told them she was our photographer, and every compliment we heard she absolutely deserves. Our guests all loved her, and our photographs are stunning. She captured all of the emotions of our wedding day perfectly. We have a beautiful candid shots as well as elegant portraits. Shawon really puts her couples first. At both our Engagement shoot and Wedding we were getting ready to say goodbye to her when I realized I wanted just one more photo. Shawon was willing to stay extra to get a few more photographs, and I am so grateful to her for that. For our engagement shoot we brought our puppy and Shawon did an amazing job of capturing some adorable photos of us with him. In terms of communication Shawon is very quick to respond to emails and delivered both our engagement and wedding photos before her promised date. I hope we can find some excuses to do more photoshoots with Shawon because we just had so much fun working with her and every penny we spent was well worth it. I tried my best, but I don’t think this review does her justice. Seriously if she is available for your wedding book her this minute!!

    Our wedding photos are gorgeous!

    Selecting Shawon Davis as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. She's attentive, professional, and took the time to get to know us as a couple.  She always responded to our emails in a timely manner, and made us feel comfortable to ask as many questions as we wanted. My husband and I are very detail oriented people and Shawon was always two steps ahead of us.  We felt completely at ease and comfortable with her taking photos on our wedding day, and our comfort level truly shows in the photos. Our family and friends raved about Shawon's work and her warm personality. Our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous and capture the essence of our wedding day.  When we look at our photos, we are transported back to the feelings of joy, excitement, and love that we felt on our wedding day.  Everyone is in awe of our photos with many people telling us to submit them to wedding magazines.  We know we will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever.

    Look no further!

    I cannot say enough positive things about Shawon, she was the perfect fit for our wedding. Not only is she kind and warm but she is so extremely talented, I look through my engagement and wedding photos and I can't help but smile.

    All my friends and family fell in love with her personality and she kept us all feeling comfortable all day. Organized is an understatement, Shawon was like having a second wedding planner on board! If you are looking for the perfect fit - look no further, you found her!

    It was great working with Shawon!

    Shawon photographed our wedding earlier this year. We knew Shawon would be the perfect photographer for our day after the first meeting with her. She immediately asked questions to get to know us and to help us plan the perfect day. She answered all of our questions and even sent us gifts throughout the planning process. She ensured everything ran smoothly and that we took all the photos that we wanted. Our families couldn't stop talking about how great Shawon was and how amazing all our photos are. We loved working with Shawon and would highly recommend her!

    We love our wedding photos!

    Shawon was wonderful. I loved working with her. I found her attentive and helpful throughout the wedding planning process. It was 100 degrees on our wedding day. Despite this, Shawon somehow made us all look fantastic in her photos. Her style was natural and beautiful. I would recommend her for anyone looking for fantastic and natural wedding photos.

    When I think of my wedding day, I first think about how lucky my fiance and I are to have each other. Secondly, I think about how lucky we are to have found Shawon to be our photographer. Hands down, we couldn't be luckier. Shawon the photographer creates works of art that are professional, magazine-worthy, notable and award-winning-worthy. As someone with a photography background, it was important to me to find someone who was a REAL, professional photographer and that absolutely is Shawon. I poured through hundreds of portfolios and didn't love any of them--until I found Shawon's. Shawon the person is warm & fuzzy, professional, attentive, reliable, trustworthy and she goes above and beyond to build a relationship with you leading up to your wedding. Her work speaks for itself and we couldn't be happier with our photos. I know every bride is obsessed with their wedding photos--but I feel like we have more of a reason to be, haha.

    Contact Shawon now and pray/cross your fingers like crazy that she has your wedding date available. It will be the best decision that you make for your wedding. It definitely was our's.

    Our experience with Shawon was fantastic from start to finish. She is warm, thoughtful, organized, and very talented at what she does. From my first phone call with Shawon I knew that she "got it" as far as what I was hoping to get out of the photography on my wedding day--that it's all about capturing the emotions, excitement, and presence of loved ones at the wedding in a candid and natural way. The day of the wedding, Shawon and her assistant Rudy were both a pleasure to have around and guided my husband and I and our bridal parties with kindness and a total sense of calm. Everyone hardly noticed them throughout the ceremony and reception but they were definitely there because they captured incredible shots :) ! We received all of our photos within 30 days of our wedding and they are absolutely wonderful. We will cherish them forever! If you are looking for a photographer who is a joy to work with, adds zero stress to your day/planning process, and delivers a fantastic product at the end of it, Shawon is the one!

    My wife and I are incredibly happy that we had Shawon shoot our wedding. Our family and friends keep telling us that she perfectly captured us as a couple -- plenty of photos of us caught in a moment of laughter, subtle expressions of passion, as well as big overt expressions when joking around. Looking through the photos Shawon got of our guests, I get to feel like I was in the middle of those cocktail hour conversations I missed. We got close-up and personal photographs between people, photographs that make us look like models, and "epic" photographs with us and the backdrop of our outdoor venue. Shawon runs her well organized business professionally while making us feel right at home with her the entire time. In discussions with her we always knew what was going on and how things would unfold. She provided a lot of expert advice while customizing the experience to our style and needs. Shawon constantly surprised us in delightful ways in the months prior to the wedding and chatting with her felt no different then chatting with a good friend.

    All of this we felt like we knew we would get following the introductory meeting with Shawon, my wife just knew that Shawon's big smile would make us happy to be around her and get us to come out naturally in the photographs. Shawon's prices, compared to others in the Boston area, were extremely competitive and with the included engagement session became a no-brainer. Definitely cannot say enough good things about Shawon and we are lucky to have her set up shop in Massachusetts.

    Shawon is truly a gem and my husband and I adored working with her tremendously! As many have mentioned, she has the business side down. She was prepared for all phone calls and was even willing to give us an extra hour of photography after we decided we would be unable to take advantage of the engagement shoot that came with our package. What sealed the deal for us though was her personable and warm demeanor and her understanding of what we wanted out of our photos: laugh lines, tears, the real and the romance. She certainly delivered and we absolutely adore our photos! They remind us that behind all the small moments -- a touch, a look or a kiss -- is something grand in the simplicity. The photos radiate warmth. Throughout the process, she was there with gifts and tips (she recommended the hair and makeup company we used for the ladies) and reminded us to have fun during what was sometimes a very stressful process. On a more personal note, it was very important for us to find a photographer with the demonstrated ability to photograph different skin tones well, which proved to be difficult for us to do in the New England area. Shawon was a godsend for us here, as well. She is dedicated to the art of photography and finding magic in the moment (she didn't visit our site beforehand!). Choose her if our experience sounds similar to what you are looking for; you will be delighted!

    D's Family Photography was amazing to work with for our wedding. She was always professional and has a talent for photographing beautiful shots that are very creative and sentimental. Working with her was a pleasure and I would gladly work with her in the future. I would recommended her to anyone for their wedding as a matter of fact I did recommend her to two other brides getting married next year.

    D's Family Photography captured our special day in a way that we never could have imagined! When we got to view our pictures, we were brought right back to the most special day we'd ever spent together as husband and wife! D's contributed to making this a day we will never forget. Her people skills and organization skills are way above average, and she was especially wonderful with me, the bride. She made sure my hair was in place, but more importantly she made sure my heart was at ease. She calmed me in those stressful moments, smiled at me when I needed assurance, and soothed me when the nerves came! She is sweet in temperament and a was true blessing to our family!
