We feel SO lucky to have found the best team of people for our big day and Shannon & Joe were the biggest part of that! I literally don't even know where to start with just how much I love them!

Shannon was amazing from day one. She helped us put together a timeline and understand a few different scenarios for what our day could look like. She also scouted the venue with us a few months before so that we were prepared the day of on where we wanted to shoot photos! Our wedding day went SO smooth thanks to her and she really captured so many genuine emotions. She sent us sneak peaks TWO days after our wedding and when I tell you my jaw hit the floor....I am still in love. I would hire her 10 times over again and I can't wait to have another excuse to hang out with her :)

We also hired Joe as our DJ (talk about a power couple), and you guys... he throws an absolute banger of a party! It has been weeks since our wedding and I am still receiving phone calls from family and friends saying how much fun they had on our dance floor thanks to Joe. He had us work through a list of music types we like and helped us understand the best songs to choose for each event of the night. His playlist did not disappoint, he nailed our vibe perfectly and kept the party going for 3.5 hours!!

Stop your hunting and hire Shannon & Joe, I promise you will not regret it!

Our mountain wedding was perfect, and Shannon and Joe played a HUGE role in making it that way!

When you work with them, you are treated as friends, and you get to experience the sincere delight with which they serve all of their clients (friends!). From the beginning, Shannon and Joe helped us frame our perfect wedding day by asking an insightful question: What do we want our first day of marriage to look like? This really helped us think through exactly what we wanted for our wedding, and leave out what wasn't necessary.

As a photographer, it truly doesn't get better than Shannon. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your actual wedding day, and Shannon is the person you'll want to spend time with: she is warm, fun, joyful, and sets everyone at ease while snapping the perfect photographs of you and your loved ones. She even helped us find the best location for our mountainside Colorado wedding, scouting ceremony and reception spots for us weeks beforehand! We had so much fun with Shannon hiking up the mountainside right after our ceremony to get the most breathtaking wedding portraits, and it was a highlight of our day.

We also hired Joe to DJ our small 40-people wedding reception inside the living room of an Airbnb... and it was an absolute blast. Joe does an incredible job before the wedding day to gauge your musical tastes, and delivers the perfect mix for an unforgettable dance floor. Our guests still talk about how much fun dancing in our living-room wedding was and how great our DJ was!

Holy Moly! You guys are the absolute greatest!

I had no idea what to do after getting engaged and I definitely didn’t know where to start after we decided to elope…. But Shannon Terrell, you walked me through everything and made this process so easy! After being referred to you and looking at your work, I was hooked on traveling to Colorado and making you our photographer and minister and I’m soooo glad we did!!! Thank you for all the recommendations, phone calls, picking up my flowers, and being our biggest cheerleader during all the make out sessions!!! Lol. You two are so sweet and our photos speak for themselves! Thank you for being my calm, informative, assuring, and fabulous photographer throughout this process- you made it GREAT and unforgettable! (We won’t want to hike a mile up a mountain at 430 am with anyone else!!!) We love you guys and hope to remain lifelong friends after this experience! Century Tree Co- y’all are awesome and thank you so much!!!!

Our experience with Century Tree Co was so so so amazing.

My husband and I got married in May 2023 at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, CO. Shannon went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was memorable, stress free, and fun! In the months leading up to our special day, I corresponded frequently with Shannon about every detail you could think of. She was prepared and able to make timeline options, provided location choices, and helpful insight to help navigate our destination mini wedding. She made sure that our input was valuable and a priority. Whenever we had questions, she answered us promptly, and with us being from Pennsylvania it gave us comfort knowing she was on top of scouting locations and making sure our special day would go as planned. Despite never meeting until our wedding day, it felt like Shannon and her husband were close friends. Wee never felt uncomfortable having someone we had never met tag along on our wedding day. She helped guide portraits in a way that made us feel natural and comfortable even though we weren’t used to having our pictures taken. There aren’t enough good words to say about Shannon! And on top of all that, our pictures are so amazing and the quality is outstanding. We are so happy with our choice to go with Century Tree Co!!

The very best decision that we made as a part of our wedding planning process was to book Shannon and Joe from Century Tree. The moment we met them at our initial meeting we simply clicked.

Not only are they a dynamic and highly talented professional duo, they are two of the most genuine people you will ever meet. I am so grateful they were recommended to us, and I would highly encourage any couple to book them for your wedding. You will not be disappointed, if anything they will far exceed your expectations.

Shannon's talent for photography is simply amazing. She makes you feel comfortable in front of a camera and captures the sweetest moments that I feel most photographers can miss out on. She has a penchant for lighting and playing with shadows and other techniques that I haven't seen in many of her colleagues. During our wedding day she did an exceptional job of corralling our families (no small task, indeed), she saw the sun setting and pulled us out to get some fantastic golden hour photos. She snuck around the venue like a ninja, never obtrusive but always present making sure to capture every memory. I could go on and on about how talented this woman is, but her stunning portfolio speaks for itself.

Joe had all of our friends and family dancing till the last song. We received so many comments on what an amazing DJ he is and we couldn't agree more. We wanted someone who would be more than play a standard wedding playlist and would would get people dancing, and boy did Joe deliver! During one of the final songs he brought out his signature panda head and a dinosaur head and my husband and I had a blast going crazy and dancing with them on. At the last possible moment (7pm on our wedding day) I mentioned it would be nice to do our private dance outside and both him and Shannon made it happen (thank you again, that was so special). We turned over the majority of our music choices, including a large portion of the processional and reception music, over to him and we could not be happier with that choice. His ability to select music to help set the mood and tone throughout our wedding is unparalleled. Joe basically created a custom soundtrack for our day and it perfectly reflected our music tastes.

I cannot recommend Century Tree highly enough. They will be the BEST investment you make for your special day and will ensure that you will create and capture many wonderful memories. Thank you again Joe and Shannon for being a part of our day, we are SO grateful you were a part of our vendor team.

If you are contemplating who your wedding photographer and DJ should be look no further!!

I booked Shannon as my wedding photographer this October and she was absolutely amazing. She was so helpful throughout my entire wedding planning process, answered my 1849274 questions, and seemed more like a friend than my photographer. I got sneak peak photos 2-3 days after my wedding which is incredible. My photos were absolutely breathtaking to say the least. She made me feel so confident and helped the day run smoothly.

We also booked Joe as our DJ for our wedding reception and he was AWESOME!! He was so friendly, went around himself releasing guest to go get their food, provided a great template for us to fill out, and kept the party going all night long.

My wedding day was so full and chaotic that it rushed by. I spent so much time planning and getting all the little pieces together that by the time the day actually came, I was wiped. I wouldn’t have remembered a thing if it wasn’t for Shannon and Joe!

Shannon caught every memory she could, from intentional moments just me and my husband filled with tears, to little laughs with my bridesmaids, and shoving cake up my husbands nose!! At one point, she grabbed us to get a perfect shot form the sunset and it is by far my favorite photo we have. She captured every moment she could and spent all her energy on our day for us! She went above and beyond what we paid her for and even sent us photos on our first anniversary from that day. She made it special and now I don’t have to miss any moment or memory.

Joe pumped up the dance floor and made the reception fun beautifully! He brought fun and creative ideas to keep everyone dancing, which is exactly what we wanted! They both went all out to being our family and friends together around us for the perfect day, as well as created small moments for us to be alone and enjoy it apart from the craziness. I couldn’t recommend them more and would put my whole budget on hiring them again!

I could not have picked a better photographer and DJ through Century Tree Co. Absolutely AMAZING.

Shannon is an incredible photographer and you can tell she truly cares about capturing the perfect photos! She not only did a great job taking pictures, but offered advice and worked with the wedding coordinator and staff to ensure a flawless evening. Her attitude and smiles and passion for photography went a long way and the end result is priceless. Our photos are amazing and I am so glad I chose them.

Joe the DJ is also PERFECT. He offers great recommendations and reaches out to the bride and groom to ensure a perfect playlist. I was indecisive on a lot of music to play i.e. walk-down music, etc. and I let him pick. He did perfect and really set the mood to an awesome ceremony and reception and has great taste in music. Even more provided fun lights and bubbles on the dance floor which was a huge hit with our guests.
