Shannon & John: A Winter Wedding at Belhurst Castle in the Finger Lakes

Let me count the ways of how great this wedding was…

First of all, Shannon is amazing. We re-met about a year ago… which was about twenty years after her mom taught me in kindergarten! She booked the Snap Cinema team, which meant I got to work with my favorite people in the world– my parents, and my BFF Erin, AND she choose to honor me by having her wedding on my birthday! Okay… that may have been more of a coincidence, but I’m still counting it as an awesome birthday present!

There were several “themes” surrounding this wedding. Since it was a December wedding, there had to be some christmas decorations and well, Santa of course! Shannon is also a huge Disney fan, so you may notice some Mickey’s and Minnie’s in the photos below. There were also wine tastings and wine favors to reflect the best the Finger Lakes have to offer. And last, but certainly not least, being at Belhurst Castle meant Shannon was the Princess! And although the princess did not get the snow she had hoped for, she did get a spectacular full moon rise over the lake.

This was a magical day, and I am so glad I was able to share it with you. I cannot express how happy I am for you both! John, you are one lucky man, and Shannon, you’ve got a keeper. I hope you enjoy this sneak peak of your dream day, I cannot wait to get started on your Fusion Video!!
