Shannon and Mike are Married! Orange County Wedding Photography

Shannon and Mike's wedding was complete perfection! They are two of the most wonderful people... kind, loving, genuine and most importantly... they know how to throw a fabulous party! What made the day even more special was that Shannon and Mike have been friends for so long that there really wasn't a "bride's side" and a "groom's side"... They have been friends since they were kids and share all of the same friends. It was more than just a wedding, it was the most wonderful friends and family reunion ever! The day was full of non-stop laughing, constant joking and the complete and total joy that only old friends can share! I was honored to be a part of such a wonderful celebration of love.... this couple shares something special, and it was a gift to be able to document it for them. I don't think the groom stopped smiling the whole day! To Shannon and Mike, I wish you a lifetime of sunshine, happiness and laughter.... it was beyond a pleasure to share this amazing day with the two of you! Enjoy the images!

Love these next images of her dad watching her put her veil on.... and then "practicing" lifting her veil!

So beautiful Shannon!!

Love the excitement of her bridesmaids as she puts her dress on!

Shannon's dad seeing her the first time in her dress.... they have the most wonderful father/daughter relationship! Total love and joy!

Pure happiness as he watches her come down the aisle! I don't think this smile left his face the entire day!

Shannon and Mike have a close relationship with the priest that married them.... (he has known them both since high school!) and it made the ceremony even more wonderful and personal for the two of them.

I think this next one might be my favorite from the ceremony! Love her happiness while he is saying his vows, and the priest's look of joy for the two of them!

I love this next image!!! I think it might be my favorite from the day!

love this next image of the two of them...

Love this one of them on the docks.... and loved that all of their wedding guests were cheering from the ballroom as they kissed for this picture!

LOVE this next pic of Shannon and her Dad!

one of the highlights of my night was watching this dancing duo..... This fabulous gal is one of my favorite people in the world! She makes everything more fun!!

Thank you both for a wonderful and perfect night! lots of love and happiness to you both!
