This cooler, early August day was the perfect timing for Shannon and Arkah's wedding. We met them on the day of their wedding but it felt like we had known and photographed them many times before. They have such an amazing connection with one another that it made them so easy to capture. Paired with their outgoing personalities and high energy they were unstoppable throughout their day!
After having a lovely time getting ready, they headed off to their first look! Surrounded by a beautiful forest right next to the lush, vast golf course they both saw each other for the first time. A little stone walkway and bridge held them as they both marveled at how perfect their other half looked!
We had a bit of time before their ceremony so we snapped a few quick and cute photos, met some of their amazing friends, and headed inside the main cottage to relax!
As people started to filter in the ceremony area Shannon and Arkah couldn't contain their excitement and slight nerves that always show up. After seeing all their friends and knowing their families were watching a livestream they knew that everything would go well.
Once their ceremony had concluded they went straight to the livestream set up to thank family for tuning in to watch their special day. Unfortunately due to the pandemic their ceremony had a lot less people than intended but they made it work!
Couples portraits followed! We whisked the couple off while guests went to cocktail hour before dinner. Rowena's Inn has so many photo locations to choose from; a small barn-like building with vines and greenery, big open golf fields, a small forest area, and a dock right on the river!
Reception time came upon us! After a quick outfit change for Shannon, they joined the rest of their friends for cake cutting, a first dance, and dinner shortly after some conversation time. Let me tell you, the food at Rowena's is to die for.
With dinner, cake, and the first dance done, all that was left to do was party! And let me tell you, they got down, hard.
Such a memorable day with amazing people. Congratulations again to Shannon and Arkah for tying the knot, and thanks for being in such high spirits!
