We were married ourselves on Halloween 2014 and it was going through the crazy, stressful wedding planning process that made us realize how crucial it is to have amazing vendors that have your back on your wedding day. We didn't feel the support we give our couples on our wedding day, we do everything in our power to ensure Vondy Couples have the best wedding day possible!
Everything you need to know about our philosophy, process, and the perks of being a #vondyscouple. We get to know you, so we can tell your story and feel like friends or family by your side on the biggest day of your life. We use our experience not only having photographed 200+ weddings but having planned and paid for our own wedding, to help make your day as stress free as possible.
We pride ourselves on prompt communication! If you haven't heard back from us within 48 business hours, please email us again to confirm we received your inquiry!

THEY'RE THE BEST! Look no further! Shannon and Justin (the vondys!!) were the first vendor we hired for our wedding after finding our venue and securing our date. We hired them 19 months in advance. We had an engagement photo shoot with them in Harry Potter World (YES! they adore harry potter as much as we do) and after meeting them for an hour we knew they HAD to do our wedding! First, they are the most incredibly kind people. They listen to your vision, have fun, make you feel so relaxed and enjoy having your photo taken, and make you laugh the whole time! Second, the photos were the best

Shannon and Justin aka the Vondys are an amazing photographer duo who just gets their couples and how to take gorgeous pictures. They are so talented and have an eye for beautiful, bright, and clean photography. They make you laugh; they support you through your wedding process; and they are just super-duper nice people. The perfect pair to spend most of your wedding day with. I was so lucky to have such a warm and kind team take care of me on my wedding day. Helping me get in my dress, carrying my shoes for me when my feet hurt wearing those ridiculous heels, and giving me a pandemic safe hug

My husband and I are really happy we had the Vondys as our wedding photographers. They were an integral part of our wedding and worked with us over the span of almost two years through the covid-19 pandemic to make our special day happen. I found the Vondys' website and checked out their beautiful photos after our wedding venue provided us with some photographer recommendations. From day one Justin and Shannon have been very professional, courteous, and responsive to our needs. They photographed our wedding and also provided a mini-engagement photo shoot. Both days were wonderful and Justin

Nothing makes me more happy than to be able to write this review for two truly amazing people who completed our wedding! Justin and Shannon are incredible photographers and super helpful! Even before having a wedding date & venue, Shannon was a huge help. We're beyond grateful that we were able to have our dream wedding and that the Vondy's were our photographers! They were beyond supportive as we planned and waited throughout the pandemic. They're happy, supportive, caring and make the day that much better!! Our family and friends loved them! They go above and beyond to be

It’s hard to find the right words to describe a team of photographers who truly do so much more. Shannon and Justin are not just your photographers. They are your friends, your confidants, your support team, a sounding board, an inspiration, and above all else, the most dynamic and helpful team you will have in your entire list of vendors. When we booked The Vondys for our wedding, we were already in talks with another photographer who we liked a lot. After deciding we should speak with more than one photographer, we booked an initial conversation with Shannon and Justin. After that, there was

My wife and I are thrilled that we selected Justin and Shannon for both our engagement shoot and our petite wedding. Our engagement shoot was at Griffith Observatory, and despite us both being camera-shy, we had a lot of fun. The Vondys have an easy-going disposition that takes the stress out of the situation, allowing you and your partner to relax and enjoy each others' company. Shannon did an amazing job choosing locations for shots, showing us how to stand, and post-processing the photos. She really made us and the surroundings shine (if we may say so ourselves). Justin's secret weapon

We met Shannon and Justin after entering their annual photography giveaway in 2017. We did a skype interview with them and we were hooked! Seriously, we got along so well with them right off the bat! We had shopped around for photographers and we didn't really get the warm and fuzzy from anyone. We wanted to feel comfortable with whoever we picked as photographers, wanted it to feel natural. We’re not “good” at photos and have a tendency to be awkward. After talking to them, it felt like catching up with old friends, not at all like people we just met! We couldn’t wait to hang out!

This couple is worth 100 stars...Don't even hesitate--GO AND BOOK THE VONDYS!!! They are an incredibly talented dynamic duo & photography husband/wife team and are beyond worth it! I met them during my best friend's wedding (which they were photographing) and knew I had to book them for a re-do wedding shoot after seeing their beautiful work in action. I immediately recognized how well they work together, and how serious they are about their photography work. If they aren't rapid fire discussing angles, light, and poses back and forth before a shot, they're dropping hilarious one-liners and making

Did we just become best friends? Yup!
The Vondys went above and beyond for us to make our wedding day so much better. Getting married is obviously a memorable experience but interacting with these two takes it to another level. The photos are amazing, they're an absolute hit with families, and they make you feel like you've been friends for years. But they're so much more than wedding photographers. Shannon and Justin know the ins and outs of the entire wedding industry like the back of their hands. Seriously. Ask them anything. If you don't book The Vondys you'll regret it every time you think

Hiring the Vondys was the best decision we made when planning our wedding! Not only do they take fantastic photographs, they are super fun, caring people. They're the kind of people you feel like you've known for years. On your wedding day you might spend more time with your photographers than anyone else, including your spouse, so be sure to hire someone that you enjoy! Shannon and Justin went above and beyond to help us plan out our photographs and gave really excellent insight into our day of timeline. Having our memories captured through amazing photos was one of my top three priorities

Charming. Personalized. Creative. Exuberant. Caring. Experts.
There are people who take photos of your wedding... and then there are The Vondy's. The Vondy's were able to capture our vision, our personalities and our love. We look at our wedding photos and the feelings and memories return as if it were yesterday. They go above and beyond professional photography, The Vondy's take great care in understanding who you are and how you would like to remember your wedding day. The result is magical. From the classic family poses to making sure they capture the special, private moments

The Vondys are true professionals. I have several family friends who have worked with them and knew we'd be in for beautiful photos, but they day-of experience was like no other. Shannon and Justin are a total delight to be around - not only were they looking out for our best interests on the day of our wedding, they really went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying the moment. We received so many compliments from our guests about how fun they were to have around, right down to Shannon belting Billy Joel with us. They are the best, and they will make you feel so comfortable! They

Let me start off by saying this review is LONG overdue! We could not recommend Shannon and Justin more. I had done a ton of research on wedding photography and knew that we wanted someone to be able to capture our personalities and candid moments vs. super posed photos. From the first meeting with them, we knew they were our wedding photographers. We loved that they were a husband/wife team and were down to earth. They had us laughing the whole consultation meeting
We had an amazing engagement session at San Francisco City Hall. It was actually our plan B as recommended by Shannon because it

Where do I begin.. Shannon and Justin are simply AWESOME. They are such a great team and have really perfected their craft. I'm a photo retoucher so hiring photographers who were in line with my style and vision were very important to me. After viewing over 30 other full wedding galleries from other photographers in LA, these guys were on top. Their images are so consistent and my engagement shoot turned out wonderful. My guests even commented on how great they were at the wedding. They'll make you laugh, they'll get your guests laughing, and they'll just make you're wedding

I wish I could give The Vondys a million stars, but Yelp caps out at 5. If you want to be treated like royalty and make friends for life, look no further. At the recommendation of friends who booked The Vondys for their wedding a few years ago, my husband reached out about a year before our big day. Our wedding budget wasn't huge but after our initial Skype meeting with Shannon and Justin we decided that we would find a way to pay no matter what.

We used The Vondys for our wedding in July 2016 and we still talk to them on a weekly basis a year and a half later!! They take amazing photos, obviously. They are stunningly gorgeous and captured the heart and soul of our wedding. That goes without saying; these two are pros. But lots of photographers can take amazing photos. What The Vondys bring to the table is a personal touch that makes a stressful day truly relaxing and fun. They're excellent with the whole family, easily making every generation feel at ease and beautiful. We get as many compliments on the photographers as we do the

From start to finish, our experience with Justin and Shannon was nothing short of amazing. From the first time talking with them on the phone, we could tell we were going to hit it off. Our engagement session was so much fun and the pictures came out perfect. We were so excited to share them with all of our friends. Leading up to the big day, they were so supportive and we knew that our photos were in the best hands. Then came the day of. We had so much fun with them.

These two are simply the BEST! Some of the most genuine people that we have ever met. 5 stars isn't even enough for these photographers. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. I can't thank them enough for capturing our wedding day.
They photographed our wedding this past April in Long Beach. Out of all the decisions, this was by far easiest and best decision we made. Not only do they make you feel comfortable when you first meet them but we never felt rushed or pressured at any point. On the wedding day They would also continue to just

Well shoot, where do we start?? Justin and Shannon are so talented, and they have such a wonderful and dynamic partnership with one another. It's impossible for that chemistry to not rub off on their subjects. Due to uncooperative weather, we weren't able to do an engagement shoot, so we hadn't met J + S until the day of our wedding. However, before we met them face to face on the day of the wedding, we felt as if we had known them for years! They are so warm, so easy going, and we honestly never had any concern- we had complete trust in them as photographers. I know it's been
