Blown Away: The Windy Wedding of Shannon and Zack, May 8, 2010

What lovely, sweet couple! I really enjoyed working with Shannon and Zack and their family. The day of May 8th broke sunny but high winds resulted in a few minor adjustments to the ceremony decor.

Here you can see Shannon looking out the window from her dressing room.



Meanwhile, the Zack and the guys were relaxing at the bar.




Shannon and Zack opted for a first sighting photo shoot prior to the ceremony. Here you watch as they see one another for the first time in their wedding attire.





Zack and the guys found a little time to soak in the sun before the ceremony.


Shannon's father checked in on her to see if she was ready!



Shannon's sister gives her the okay and then it was time.








After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed the cocktail hour including this yummy cheese display while Shannon and Zack took a few more photos.




Meanwhile, everything was in place. These beautiful escort cards featured fresh blooms making the room feel like the spring day it was.



Shannon made her own table numbers featuring the floral motif.


The cake table featured both a traditional wedding cake and a grooms cake.



The guests signed on the portraits mat and could enjoy a fun collage Shannon had put together.



For a really fun twist, the centerpieces featured live fish!


After formal introductions, Zack and Shannon shared their first dance and then began their buffet banquet.




After dinner, the crowd got up and danced!



Shannon and Zack cut their cake and then tossed the bouquet and garter.










Shannon and Zack departed under the shimmer of sparklers!



Best wishes to Shannon and Zack for a long and happy marriage!
