The Wedding of Shannon & James

Outside, the day was dark and rainy, but nothing about Shannon & James' wedding day was dreary at all! The two of them could not have been more excited about getting married and I even cried a bit during their vows. The day started off at the Rodney Mitchell Salon with the girls getting ready.

The beautiful bride!



Shannon and James decided to see each other before the ceremony which you can read more about here on Ashley's Bride Guide. These are a few when they first saw each other.





The rain held off just enough to grab a few photographs outside.


The bridal party. Three of these lovely ladies are Shannon's sisters. Can you tell which ones?




The ceremony was held at the always gorgeous Scarritt Bennett Center and the ladies of Something Blue kept everything running smoothly!

Peter grabbed these two that I really love,



The reception took place at the beautiful Hermitage Hotel. At the beginning of the night, James made sure everyone knew that they were supposed to celebrate and party- and that is exactly what they did!







We had such a great time Shannon and James, thank you so much for allowing us to take part! Here's one more shot to end the night....

I have to say that I absolutely LOVE the held off rain shot at the beginning. It's great and a wonderful angle. Also the reception photos even made me laugh out loud with the guy sucking his thumb. :-D GREAT JOB!

Thanks so much guys! That was dad of the bride- he kept us laughing all night!
