Grand Rapids has quickly become one of the most popular places to get married in West Michigan. With its mix of historic venues, modern spaces, beautiful parks, and nearby waterfront locations, it offers couples endless possibilities for creating a wedding day that feels unique and unforgettable.

As a Grand Rapids wedding photographer, I love capturing weddings throughout the city and the surrounding areas. From downtown celebrations to elegant barn venues just outside the city, every wedding has its own story to tell.

Hi, I’m Shawnia, the photographer behind Oh Shoot Photography. I specialize in true-to-color wedding photography with a bold pop, focusing on authentic emotions and real moments rather than stiff or overly posed photos. My goal is to document your wedding day in a way that feels natural, timeless, and true to you.

Your wedding photos should feel like stepping back into the moment—remembering the laughter, the tears, and the love that filled the day.
