Shannon May Photography

Last reviewed: August 12, 2026. Business status: Active.

Shannon-May Photography is a St. Andrews NB wedding photographer serving couples from an appointment-only studio at 157D Water Street, Saint Andrews. The confirmed official website identifies Shannon-May as a New Brunswick-based photographer available throughout Canada, with wedding, elopement and documentary portraiture work. Last reviewed: 2026-08-12.

For couples who want wedding photographs centred on real interactions rather than heavily staged scenes, the business describes an unobtrusive, documentary-led approach while still providing direction for portrait sessions when needed. Its wedding offering also places tangible keepsakes at the centre of the experience, with a fine-art album included in wedding packages.

Services and specialization

Shannon-May Photography offers wedding and elopement photography. On the official wedding page, Shannon-May describes documenting genuine, unscripted parts of a wedding day discreetly, with portrait guidance used when it is needed. This is a useful distinction for couples comparing a documentary approach with photographers whose work is primarily directed or pose-led.

The listed full wedding experience includes up to 12 hours of coverage, a complimentary engagement session, a bespoke fine-art album, an 11 x 14 print and a curated gallery of high-resolution images. The business also lists optional additions: a second photographer, an engagement-photo guest book and extra coverage by the hour. Elopement photography is separately offered for intimate celebrations.

• Wedding photography with up to 12 hours of coverage
• Complimentary engagement session in the full wedding experience
• High-resolution image gallery, fine-art album and 11 x 14 print
• Elopement photography
• Optional second photographer and hourly coverage extension

Service area and who it may suit

The official site says Shannon-May is based in New Brunswick and available throughout Canada. The studio is in Saint Andrews and is by appointment only. The portfolio and service information therefore make this listing particularly relevant to couples planning in Saint Andrews, elsewhere in New Brunswick, or considering a photographer who may travel for a Canadian wedding.

The stated approach may suit couples who value candid moments, family interactions and the atmosphere of the day alongside classic portraits. Couples planning a small elopement can also ask about the dedicated elopement coverage rather than assuming a full-day wedding collection is the only option.

• Based in New Brunswick
• Appointment-only studio in Saint Andrews
• Available throughout Canada, according to the official site
• Wedding and elopement options are both documented

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A confirmed feature is the clearly described full wedding collection: coverage, engagement session, gallery, print and bespoke album are identified on the official wedding page. The business also publishes a specific process for introducing couples to the service, beginning with an inquiry and discovery call. These are documented service details, rather than third-party endorsements.

The key practical limitation is that every wedding is not priced or scoped on the public page. Travel options are available for weddings outside the local area, but the site says the associated fees are added to the final package cost. Couples with a firm budget, a remote venue or a need for more than one photographer should ask for a tailored estimate before booking.

• Documented wedding package inclusions
• Optional second-photographer and additional-hour options
• Travel can add to the final package cost
• No public phone number was confirmed on the official website

Pricing

The official wedding page lists full-day wedding coverage starting at $5,499 + HST. It also states that elopement coverage starts at $1,949 + HST. Detailed pricing and availability are provided through inquiry, so couples should confirm what applies to their date, location, travel needs and selected additions.

The published full wedding package includes the engagement session, fine-art album, 11 x 14 print and high-resolution gallery described above. Ask whether any requested add-ons, extra hours, travel or other event-specific needs affect the final total.

• Full-day wedding coverage: starts at $5,499 + HST
• Elopement coverage: starts at $1,949 + HST
• Detailed pricing and availability: inquiry required

Contact and booking

Use the official inquiry form to begin. The business asks couples to share their story and event details, then says they can expect a personal response within two business days to arrange a virtual or in-person meeting and start the booking process.

The official site also describes a complimentary discovery session, held online or in the Saint Andrews studio. Because the studio is appointment only, do not plan an unarranged visit. No public telephone number was confirmed on the official site, so the inquiry form is the clearest documented booking route.

• Official booking route: online inquiry form
• Stated response expectation: within two business days
• Discovery meetings: virtual or in person
• Studio visits: by appointment only

What couples should confirm

Before committing, confirm that the desired date is available, which coverage length fits the timeline and whether a second photographer is needed. The public page identifies up to 12 hours of coverage but does not replace a date-specific agreement.

Couples should also confirm the total price with HST, travel costs where applicable, the cost of extra hours, and the delivery details for the gallery, print and album. If choosing an elopement, ask how the location and the scale of the day affect the coverage recommendation.

• Date availability and booking terms
• Recommended coverage length and timeline
• Second-photographer needs
• Travel and add-on costs
• Final deliverables and album details
