showing you things from my old blog that you might not have seen.
this week it's jen and jon!
i love their ability to relax and have genuine fun,
i love jen's style that felt effortless,
i loved their perfectly-them details, from the lemon centerpieces to the awesome red barn.
here you go :)
enjoy,
i remember noticing so many little details around the house that i thought would be good for a ring shot, but when i saw these mini bottles in the bathroom and my eyes went wide. i borrowed them for a while and set them up on the piano bench in the living room. i love this photo.
i always ask the groomsmen what they want to do for their photos and this is what these guys came up with. amazing.
love this one!
i think i took at least 100 photos of these centerpieces! not exaggerating.
yay,

colors just delight me.
textures? obsessed with them.
these albums have THE most perfect covers ever.
and! they are SO CUTE! they're tiny... either 4x6" or 5x5".
i really want to keep all of them just to look at....
but they are for my pretty clients.
they have super thick mat-board pages,
they're classy,
they're simple,
they're fun.

Yeah.... I'm thinking I'd like to get a 5x5 in that lovely one 3rd in from the bottom right! Just love that one. I'm thinking photos of me and Sunny.

Just curious where you order those cute albums from! I want to order one for myself for some of my travel pics!!!

Shannon-
These are fantastic! I can't wait to see the rest! Hurry, please! We were so blessed to have you photographing Katie and John's wedding. Thanks! -Debbi
I love them! That shot of John's grandma is AWESOME! I also really like that last one of us where I'm laughing. I am so excited to see the rest! Good thing I have a week-long cruise to keep me occupied so the wait doesn't seem as long! :)
(10.06.09 @ 11:42 PM)I loved the photos wish I had you at my wedding :)
Fabulous pictures.........sometimes pictures have trouble telling the whole story........these pictures tell the love story between John and Katie! Loved every minute even though it was COLD.

4give me if I said this b4, but that is one beautiful woman!
And, he is one very, very, lucky man.
I LOVE this bride's bouquet! I'm going to bookmark this post just to reference it someday when I got married. Gorgeous.
And the pictures are fabulous, Shannon. I love the one of the bride in the room with the boxes... she looks exquisite.
And how cute is the groom with his butterfly hands!? Adorable.
(07.26.09 @ 12:24 PM)Love your style Shannon. Absolutely stunning. We provided the flowers for the day and can't wait to see how our work shows in your photographic eye!

say hello to megan and phil martin!
such a lovely wedding. wow.
natalee lopez coordinated the day and totally made it shine. blythe and i marveled at every detail.
megan is so sweetly sweet,
she has such glam-elegance that still has sweetness.
and phil...... i hope he doesn't mind me saying this, but he was tearing up the whole day which made ME cry the whole day. tons of emotion was everywhere, covering the whole spectrum from wild to quiet.
Megan looked SO PRETTY!!!
and phil has the BEST SMILE. i cannot say enough good things about this guy. he has such a positive spirit, such a gentle way of loving megan..... and ahh! he's just great.
this was definitely the first time i've done photos in a wine cellar, and it ruled.
they saw each other before the ceremony, which did an amazing job at calming nerves and bringing a sense of relaxation and fun. they had this sweet moment right before she walked down the stairs and saw him though----- so close, but they hadn't seen each other yet. anticipation to the max.....!
(how cute are they?)
this is one of my ultimate all time favorites. oh, my, lanta.
the wedding was held at Megan's aunt & uncle's home in Upland.
the catch was: it literally felt like we were in Tuscany. increds.
the details at the reception were incredible. megan is really into earthy, mossyness...
aren't these engraved flower boxes stunning?
eric trine was the dj, and he honestly put on the best dance party i've seen in a long time.
he's amazing, and if you're into having a BLAST------------ hire him!

Gorgeous. I adore that ring pillow and the centerpieces and all the smiles and that grinning boy with glasses.
(07.22.09 @ 11:05 AM)these pictures are so awesome. I think this is some of your best work yet.. esp. that crazy dance picture... who are those people anyway? :) Seriously though -- the ones with the door between them: perfect.
