From the moment we walked in, I knew it was going to be a great day.
Excitement was in the air as the finishing touches to make up and hair were applied. The anticipation was heavy.
We jumped in the cars and took off to grab a few early shots behind the church. Shanna was absolutely stunning, her smile captivating. He bridesmaids beautiful.
Then there was the moment she saw Russell smiling back at her as she walked down the aisle. Probably my favorite moment of the entire day.
Then their first kiss as man and wife.
At the reception, it was all fun and games… literally. Shanna and Russell had set up some friendly competition for their guests. Brook Forest Inn has a cool backyard area with a little creek that worked just perfectly. It also has a fantastic balcony that was used for speeches and eventually the bouquet and garter toss.
There was dancing. There was singing. There was cake, ice cream, and massive, giant caramels.
It was everything a wedding should be. Beautiful, meaningful, fun.
Congratulations Shanna and Russell!
