Shannon + Josh 🤍
One week.
That’s how long I had between getting the “are you available?” message and showing up to photograph their wedding day.
Shannon came home from Florida, brought everybody she loves with her, and got married at her childhood home. Or, as she calls it, her legacy.
And honestly, I think that makes these even cooler. The cornfields. The giant tree. Her dad walking her down the aisle in the same place she grew up. Their dog wandering into portraits. Everybody they love quite literally coming home for them.
There was also no timeline when I was booked. Like… none. All they knew was that ceremony was starting at 4, and even that was flexible.
But this is where doing almost 100 weddings comes in handy. I’ve seen enough wedding days to know what needs to happen, when it needs to happen, what can wait, what absolutely cannot, and how to keep everything moving without making your wedding feel like one giant photoshoot.
So we scratched the timeline. We rolled with the day. Everybody got where they needed to be. Nobody combusted. And a time was absolutely had.
Your photographer can be more than the person holding the camera. Sometimes I’m the timeline maker, people finder, dress fixer, “hey we need you over here” girl, professional men herder… and somewhere in there I take a few thousand pictures too.
And this one?
Worth coming home for. 🤍
Shannon + Josh, you two threw one hell of a wedding.
