Jessica and John's wedding at Wayfarers Chapel

I felt so lucky to get the opportunity to shoot John and Jessica's wedding at the famous Wayfarers Chapel. It's glass! Talk about great natural light...!

Jessica saw the location a long time ago and told herself she'd get married there one day, and it was so fun to watch her dream happen, with her dream man.

I think brides who wear flats are genius.
getting ready. i love these
Jessica my dear, you are one beautiful woman.
and John! here he is, lookin sharp.
John and Jessica saw each other before their wedding, which made the day so fun and easy going. I love when couples do this!these first moments of them seeing
each other are some of my favorites, ever
!!
i like black and white today,
Heather was one of my assistants for the day, and she got this awesome awesome awesome shot of Jessica right before she walked down the aisle.
And here's Jessica and her dad
can we all stop and marvel at how beautiful this is?
Heather got this one of me...
yup, i wear a nerdy little vest to weddings.
i kind of couldn't get enough of the chapel, and of jess and john, so we came back after the ceremony for more photos,
and then it was off to the reception!
sweet first dance.
and some more rockin, rockin dancing happened
now, this is one of the BEST views of the bouquet toss I've ever seen, taken by the lovely Megan Svensson who also assisted me for the day
Megan got this one too, and it made me want to refer all future brides to her since she's so brilliant. I love love LOVE this shot. everything about it.
Rachel and Jenny!
a big big congratulations to the new Goulet's! you guys are the best.
love to all,
shannon leith

You need to run a caption contest for the "getting the garter" shot. Then, send it in to some national humorous photo contest. That is the most hilarious picture ever.

Shan,

These shots are wonderful! I especially love the last one, Jessica's facial expression is practically piercing! And, I lovelovelove the garter shot! Also, I love all the black and whites!

Shannon, I just get more and more amazed with every wedding you shoot.

Love you.

mon, dont even worry, i already looked up the chapel because i too may want it for future reference ;)
i wish i could just have like 5 weddings. (all to one person,just in different locations- and not due to divorce and remarriage. am i making sense here?)

shan. i was going to watch enchanted (my 4th movie of the day because apparently the only thing im doing during spring break is hanging with you on saturday), but then i was like "just a tiny peek at shans blog" and of course. it swept me away. you're just the most.
