I spent Labor Day weekend traveling to Ontario, Canada for Joel and Jessica’s destination wedding. Like so many great romances, Joel and Jessica had been friends (and co-workers) for years before they ever dated. It seems that everyone knew they were meant to be before they did - which means that when they finally said “I do,” it was a huge celebration! There was toasting, roasting, lots of laughter, dancing and many happy tears. This bride and groom have an incredible group of friends and family around them that were not only supportive of them tying the knot but also LOTS of fun. Special thanks also goes out to my unofficial tour guide for Ontario and assistant Loni Vanstone.
Joel and Jessica - thank you for inviting me to a part of your wedding day. Congratulations!
Sincerely,
Shannon

SHANNON!!!! Girl you were 100% amazing to work with. I've stood in a lot of weddings and I've worked with a lot of photographers who have been good with people but didn't take the greatest pictures and I've stood in weddings where the photographer didn't know how to handle the bridal party and wasn't good at directing people. To find someone who is both good with people AND takes amazing pictures is surprisingly rare, and YOU are a package deal. Especially controlling all of us crazies in the bridal party which I'm sure was no easy task! Every single member of the bridal party couldn't get over how awesome you were. I personally had SO much fun with you and I am so glad you were apart of the day. The pictures are phenomenal!! If you're up for taking another trip to Canada I'll more than likely be calling you for my wedding. Thank you for everything!
ReplyDeleteShannon.... I FREAKED OUT when I saw these!!! You are INCREDIBLE and I couldn't be happier :)! You caught the tone of the wedding party so well and to echo Ashley you were SO FUN to work with. Everyone loved you and kept commenting on how much fun you made the day... like Ashley said all of us have been in a lot of weddings and pictures are rarely fun AND beautiful. Thank you so much for such an incredible experience and I can't WAIT to see the rest!!!
