the wedding of shannon and lenny
Shannon is cool…………….we knew that, as soon as we met her. She had all these glamour shots in her parent’s house, where we could tell we were going to have a good time with her. She is not afraid of finding her inside “diva”, so to speak. WE LOVE THAT!

A lot of times, couples tell you within the first few minutes of meeting them on the big day, if they are eager to do photos, how important they are to them, and how far they will go to achieve the ultimate images. If they will be the typical wedding photos or if they want to achieve something special. If you are the type of bride who is afraid of moving in your gown, such as sitting or going on the ground, we kind of know that you aren’t going to be the kind of bride who will run, or rumple the dress up or lay anywhere, LOL!

Shannon was not this type of bride at all. That, made this wedding, exciting for us as well. We can break new ground, try new shots, be adventurous. Afterall, this is what you buy this beautiful gown for right? To show it off in the only medium you will have left when all is said and done? We would explain a new shot to Shannon and immediately, knew we were on the same page. We met her at her parent’s house, can I just say here, that both Linda and Joe, were such nice people.

From the moment we stepped into their beautiful home, they made us feel totally at ease and welcome. We had such a good time with them as well. Joe was one crazy guy and complimented our style as well. At one point, he came up behind me and we struck a pose together, LOL. Unfortunately, Joe, you came out better than I, but what else is knew, I can take ‘em but can’t be in ‘em, ha ha. Shannon is a party planner by profession and it showed in all the details. Everything was perfection. We met Lenny and the guys at the Jedediah Hawkins House. It provided the beautiful backdrop for a lot of the photos.

We then went to Atlantica and finished up with just Shannon and Lenny out near the ocean. The sun was setting and the wind was brisk, but it made for some stunning new scenery, which we had never seen. The wind had made these beautiful ridges in the sand which provided for some really graphic lines. We took chances and I think they, the photos, can speak for themselves. At least I hope Shannon and Lenny agree……………….

Also, being it is now fall, the goldenrod was filling in all the dune grass with magnificent color. We changed up the style a tad and did more experimental work, moving with the light and shadows. We then went in to cover the tender ceremony. Under the moonlight and the sunset, it was such a romantic setting.

There were so many gorgeous details with this wedding. Our bride outdid herself.

Dear Mindy & Rich,
Lenny & I cannot believe how amazing the pics are! I was totally blown away! You captured every important moment & lots of candid shots, which is exactly what we wanted! The beach shots are so gorgeous they look like a postcard or one of those pictures you get inside a frame that you buy at the store! We cannot thank you enough, my parents as well, they loved you guys! We have been telling everyone to go online & check out the pictures & they are just speechless. Thank you, thank you, thank you again!

What can I say…the pictures are so beautiful!!! Shannon and Lenny what great memories you will have. I can’t wait to show my family and friends when they come over. Now they will understand why I can’t stop talking about this wedding almost 3 weeks later. The photographers really captured everything, especially all of your extra touches Shannon. When I talked about your wedding at work, people asked me if you had a wedding planner. I said “Shannon was the wedding planner”!! The pictures on the beach were the best! We are so happy for you guys!
Love, Joanie & Steven

I had heard so many details from Shannon about the wedding prior to the day. I kept trying to visualize all the particulars. I had many images in my mind, but the amazing photographs showed a plethora of detail. At times, I felt as if I was looking through an extravagant wedding magazine. I can only imagine what Shannon and Lenny’s wedding album will look like. The pictures really showed how lavish this affair was. Shannon is by far one the most beautiful brides I have ever seen. She looked as if she was about to explode from happiness. I can certainly appreciate all the thought and hard work everyone put into this wedding. I wish Shannon and Lenny much love and happiness for many many years to come.
