Brendon and Shannon's "I Do"

The immensity of the blue sky meets the silhouette of the snowcapped Rockies and the contrast of color strikes you speechless. White fluffy clouds float by casting shadows on green pastures occupied by wild horses and an occasional chirp is heard from a bird. In the beauty of all this, with the sounds of the rushing "Popo Agie" river a few hundred yards away, Brendon and Shannon became husband and wife. Everything about this wedding has been about beauty... their relationships with  their God, Shannon's heart, her dress, the location, and the love that was evident in their family and friends present. Beauty. It's what we crave.

I feel so honored to have been a part of their day and document their story for all to hear and see. A love story like theirs is one everyone should know about because it's such a picture of how God's kingdom can be present on this earth. He's here. He's present and active in our lives whether we realize it or not. He is good. He wants our dreams to become reality. Brendon and Shannon realize that and they're chasing after Him with their whole lives and their love story is no exception. Shannon... you have your prince, your husband, your ring, the dress... and in the background, white lilies... the ultimate symbol of of your prince sees you, and now, how your husband also sees you. It makes me so happy to know that you've found that. Don't forget to share it with everyone who will listen. :)

Many thanks to everyone who helped make their day awesome! Brandi Russell of Mel's on Main Hair Salon did Shannon's lovely hair, the awesome BBQ was catered by Raymond Benson of Porta Chef out of Colorado, Shannon's makeup was done by her best friend Kendra (who's an awesome graphic designer too... ;)), and Shannon's flowers were done by a local friend. :)
