The face behind the lens
Aloha! I'm Shanyn, the cinematographer behind Portola Studios.
I’m a part-time filmmaker, part-time flight attendant, and full-time traveler. I spend half my time in Maui where I live with my husband and the other half in Seattle where I am based as a flight attendant.
I am passionate about telling love stories through film. My goal when filming is to create a contemporary and artistically cohesive film that allows you to not only rewatch your wedding day, but also to relive it. I strive to create an artistic account of events which feels authentic and modern, that, over time, will become a cherished heirloom.
