Jamie & Shannon

As a wedding photographer, I had the privilege of capturing the special day of Jamie and Shannon in Reading, UK. This couple has a unique love story, with Jamie hailing from Reading and Shannon originally from Minnesota. Despite the challenges brought about by the pandemic, they were able to push through and finally tie the knot surrounded by their loved ones.

The wedding celebration was held in Jamie's mother and stepfather's stunning backyard, which they transformed into a beautiful, personalised wedding venue. The couple's families also played a significant role in making the event unforgettable. Shannon's family flew in from the United States to be part of the special day, adding an international touch to the celebration.

The speeches during the reception were a highlight of the event, with each speaker providing heartfelt, emotional words for the newlyweds. Shannon's father talked about the significance of love and family while breaking into a sing-along with friends and family, making for a joyous moment that everyone will remember. Meanwhile, Jamie's sister used her speech as an opportunity to tease him, adding a fun and sassy vibe to the occasion.

As a photographer, I was honoured to document the couple's love story and their beautiful day. From the personalized details to the heartfelt speeches, every moment was captured for Jamie and Shannon to cherish for years to come. It's evident that their love for each other and the people around them was the foundation of their celebration.

Jamie's decision to move to Minnesota to be with his wife is a testament to their commitment to each other, and I have no doubt that they will start their new life together on a strong and solid foundation. Being a part of their wedding celebration was a joy, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to capture these beautiful memories.
