About The Photographer

Hey, thanks for stopping by! I am Shawn Thomas, the heart and soul behind The Wedding Journalist.
My journey in the world of wedding photography began at the age of 14, and I've been capturing beautiful moments for over a decade. With 12 years of experience and a rich portfolio of collaborations with leading wedding photography companies, I decided to embark on my own creative venture in 2017.


My vision for The Wedding Journalist is not just about capturing weddings; it's a reflection of my deep connection to life, nature, and the art of storytelling through photography. This journey has allowed me to connect with incredible couples who share my passion for life's beauty and the canvas of creativity.



My photography style is a blend of a photo-journalistic and documentary, focusing on authentic and intimate moments that can't be staged. I believe every wedding is a unique story, and my goal is to capture it in a cinematic and creative way.


My workflow is relaxed yet highly efficient, designed to make couples feel at ease on their big day. I have a knack for managing unexpected situations, ensuring everything runs smoothly while keeping everyone happy and relaxed. In fact, many couples end up choosing me for not just their wedding but also for their friends' and family's special moments.


Beyond weddings, my creative endeavors extend to various photography genres, from corporate events to family portraits, festivals, product shoots and the wonders of nature. My creative spirit doesn't stop at photography; I'm also a music creator and a nature enthusiast. My life is an ongoing exploration of beauty in all its forms, and I'm excited to share this journey with you through The Wedding Journalist.
