Shannon & Rob's Wedding

When Shannon contacted me last year to shoot her Wedding last Friday, she was so worried from the first conversation I had with her that it was going to rain on her wedding day and, it did! Fortunately it started raining during the ceremony and for the beginning of the reception only!

I didn't realize the amazing talent that Shannon's Dad had as he offered up a couple solo's at the reception on the (Violin/Cello) - Not sure which instrument it was, but he had lots of people on the dance floor doing the Jig!

Starting out with some images of Shannon being made up!





I don't go to crazy with textures, but this is a shot where I was really diggin it!



Before Shannon went to put her dress on, we took a couple photos in her living room, was totally digging her big picture window and the light coming through it!



Shannon's sister helping her lace up!



Shannon looking in the mirror - something about this shot I am just loving, I think its the small mystery in her eyes or something, the little touch of color tone.



Before we headed off I grabbed a couple shots of the girls outside Shannon's parents house.





Shannon's nephew was the ring bearer and I must say a charming little chap!



Shannon was so much fun to photograph because she really is a happy-bubbly person, I really was digging her silliness through out the day.



We went to Edgerton park in Hamden, one of Shannon's favorite places to do some photos. This was a test shot that I ended up really liking, so alas here it is!



Once again Prince Charming!



Really liked this shot of Shannon & Rob in the garden.



Loved the way the light was beating through her veil, dress and flowers.



It was raining by the time we arrived at the Aqua Turf, so we did a couple shots during cocktail hour in the vestibule.



Shannon & Rob's first dance together as husband and wife!



This cake made me hungry!



After it finally stopped raining, it was pitch black outside, so I grabbed the video light and we went outside to grab a couple more shots on the grounds of the Aqua Turf.



Shannon was dancing up a storm all night and I really loved how in this shot her dress sort of opened, feet off of the floor.



One of Shannon & Rob's final dances at their reception!



I had a great time guys, hope to see you soon.
