Hi, we’re Shannon and Joe!

Joe is the DJ. Energetic and raucous, he approaches each wedding gig as a highly-personalized and stylistic performance. From the first consultation to the explosive confetti finale, Joe revels in crafting bigger and better dancefloor moments that build throughout the night.
Shannon is the Creator. Meticulous and eclectic, she thrives on capturing every superfluous detail and releasing them as indelible bursts of creative glory. Shannon manages and counsels all of our requests.
Together, we are Century Tree Co., and we believe your wedding day should be emotionally-driven, unique to your personality, and - above all - fun!

I am a believer in Jesus and my faith guides how I conduct this little business of ours - by loving and serving you well!
I grew up in Fresno, California, and I spent most of my weekends hiking in Yosemite or camping in Big Sur. I love to travel more than anything. Travel is my love language, and I’ve visited 19 countries in the last several years alone.
I’m fluent in German, and I lived in Germany for over a year and studied abroad for a semester in Austria. Salzburg is my favorite city on the planet, and my dream would be to photograph a wedding there!
A few favorite things: morning coffee watching the sunrise, chasing severe thunderstorms, hiking in the mountains, running through wildflower meadows, hosting dinner parties, and making flower crowns.
I am an Enneagram 4w3!

I love to read. Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, Brandon Sanderson, and J.R.R. Tolkien are a few of my favorite authors.
I manage the popular blog Instrument of Mercy, where I write about faith, spirituality, and the real world.
I’m drawn to adventure - I’ve skydived, climbed several mountains, survived wildfires, hiked volcanoes, and traversed glaciers.
My personal favorite musicians and artists (the ones listen to when I’m not DJing) are The Killers, Sufjan Stevens, Lord Huron, First Aid Kit, Bon Iver, and Bastille.
I’m an Enneagram 8w9!
