A 4th of July Wedding

Shannon had always dreamed of a wedding on her favorite holiday, the 4th of July, so when she became engaged to a U.S. Secret Service agent, the date was a given. Working with many different shades and variations of Red, White and Blue, we finally selected lots of blues and a touch of a deep, traditional red.






Shannon and her mom did much of the design on their own, with Lilybrooke overseeing the planning aspects, but I was happy to help out this amazing family that I am honored to now call friends. Here I was caught tying flowers and lanterns on the pew ends of the Franciscan Monastery where all of their family and friends gathered for the ceremony. The Monastery is steps from her mother's Kennebunk, Maine home, so the bride decided to walk to her ceremony
along the path that they walked every Sunday.

Following the reception, InTown Trolley took all of the guests to Kennebunk Beach for the beautiful firework show. It truly was a magical day for Shannon & Jeff as the months of planning made this day, one that the bride had dreamed of for years, become a reality.

A thank you to C.A. Smith Photography for providing photos.
