Brian and Shannon: Summerland BC Wedding

Summerland Winery Wedding (28)

I knew Brian and Shannon would be a good fit the minute they mentioned that their Summerland wedding was wine and cheese themed ;)

From the minute I met them for coffee almost a year and a half ago, they felt like old friends. I love Brian’s cheeky and sarcastic sense of humor, and Shannon always has a HUGE smile on her face that brightens up a room. She instantly made me feel like one of her closest friends.

It would be hard to explain Shannon and Brian without explaining two of her bridesmaids as well. Shannon, Lisa and Eilesha all got married this year. All three inquired with me to photograph their day! Thankfully I was free for Lisa’s and Shannon’s but I am still SO bummed I wasn’t able to do Eilesha and Mike’s!! (though we did get to drink wine and dance together at the other two’s weddings!!)

So I was looking foward to Lisa and Derek‘s wedding for many reasons! Not only did I get to photograph Lisa’s special day, but I got to hang out with Brian and Shannon again and meet the Eilesha I kept hearing about!! Once I put my camera away for the night, both of them met me with a glass of wine and we closed down the dance floor :)

A few weeks before Brian and Shannon’s wedding, we used “planning” as an excuse to get together for dinner and wine, and we chatted for a few hours about almost everything BUT wedding planning haha. There was definitely a lot of wine talk!

Their wedding day was amazing! The only downfall was it came and went too fast! Their wedding party was the most fun!! The guys had all sorts of goofy ideas….and there was more kissing than I’ve ever experienced between groomsmen haha. Hanging out with the girls felt just like hanging out with my closest friends. Having met them all before it was so fun, and it was so special to get to share in another wedding with them all. AND check out their flowergirl!! LOVED her! Her Dad is a photographer so she carried around his camera all day acting as my third shooter! She closed down the dance floor too!!

Their entire day was filled with laughter from start to finish! It was exactly what a wedding should it. Both Marco and I went home with stomach aches from laughing so hard! (And don’t get me started on the food. ohmygosh I knew Brian and Shannon were foodies like me but it was some of the best food I have ever tasted ever! And their “Cheese”Cake?!?! AMAZING!)

A HUGE thank you to Marco for helping me out!! We left the wedding with plans for a dinner and wine night as soon as they get back from their Hawaii honeymoon!! We can’t WAIT to see you guys!! (just don’t come back too tanned ;)
