Shannon & Ross – Wedding at Maple Manor

It was a HOT day, there is no denying that fact…  But, the heat did not matter – it was Shannon and Ross’ big day and they were ecstatic.  When Ben and I arrived at Maple Manor in Dallas we were immediately greeted with the delightful bride.  Shannon was glowing, her excitement beaming with each smile.  In that moment it was clear that this day was going to be amazing.

Shannon and Ross chose to do a First Look and I am so happy they did.  These two are the epitome of heart melting love.  I seriously think they float onto Cloud 9 the moment they touch.  It’s utterly beautiful, and gives me butterflies just thinking about it!

OH BOY!  Gifts! OH BOY!  More gifts! I’m so glad that they decided to do the First Look.  This is really an amazing moment between brides and grooms!  Originally Shannon wanted to do the First Look in Deep Ellum, but our time in the heat would have been too much before the ceremony…  So, we were lucky enough to find an area right next to Maple Manor that had that urban feel to it.  I could feel Shannon’s excitement! And this is one MAJOR reason I love the First Look …  Do you see that smile?!  Do you see how Ross is just enchanted with his beautiful ‘soon-to-be’ wife?  Beautiful. Now some time for portraits! Shannon, you are marvelous. The ceremony is about to start, Shannon peeking over the balcony. Shannon takes a deep breath as she starts to get a little emotional Since Ross and Josh play cards a lot, it was a Poker themed speech – hilarious and heartfelt all in a bundle. Time to get down! YAYYYY!  I love it when our couples ask US to be in pictures! Best way to end your wedding day?…  Jumping on the bed, of course! I got the boot!
