They noticed each other at work but didn’t really get to meet before Shannon moved away. Two months later she came back and Michael jumped at the opportunity to ask her to a New Year’s Eve party. There must have been some magic in the air that night because they’ve been together ever since.
One day, after a long lunch at one of their favorite restaurants, they took a walk along Hiawatha Falls and came to a grassy spot. Michael thought they should sit down for a bit and even offered his sandals for Shannon to sit on. After several quiet minutes he reached into his bag and pulled out the ring. Shannon was so surprised and excited that she made him ask again just to be sure she had said “Yes”!
The morning of the big day was clear and full of sunny blue skies. There were many perfect moments to capture on the wooded and sunlit paths at Minnetonka Orchards. The rustic and romantic details, including the hand-written vows, were beautiful and well thought out. The bridal party and guests were treated to amazing weather, hay rides, and a day full of love and laughter. The reception tent was a spectacular setting for dinner and dancing, and this amazing couple had a great time surrounded by their friends and family. Congratulations!
The rustic details added some romance to the start of the big day.
Shannon was relaxed and smiling as she got ready. Her gown and accessories were gorgeous and I love the blue toes!
Some pre-ceremony games kept Michael and his groomsmen busy.
A perfect first look on the wooded path. So in love…
What a stylish group!
