Shannon & Tim’s wedding was the perfect summer wedding (in late Spring) . These two met while working at Best Buy and sparks flew immediately (and not the kind that makes you call the Geek Squad)

Cedar Grove Acres was an amazing backdrop for their outdoor wedding surrounded by friends and family.

Some of my favorite aspects about their day was their First Touch with a prayer, under the old oak tree. Sharing communion together during the ceremony (even if I was stepping on some pretty loud leaves to get the shot)
The cake smash (most couples shy away from doing this but I love a couple that goes for it)
And the way they kept their cool even when a torrential downpour overtook the reception and the power went out for a few moments.
They also shared their sparkler exit inside the reception space because the rain was so bad but they were troopers!
