Valentine's Day Wedding Shannon & Tony

It was an amazingly beautiful sunny Valentine's Day. The air was cool but the sun kept you warm. We were on The Mountain Tower at the Gazebo in Hot Springs Arkansas. This was the day that Tony and Shannon were getting married. There was a small group of guests, family and close friends and everyone waited for the Bride to walk the road from the tower.  It was an amazing day and I even teared up a bit! This couple was so fun and photogenic.  I wanted to share a bit of their story as well as some photos from the day!

Shannon and her mom were in Hot Springs on their yearly mother daughter trip this past summer for the 4th of July. They were looking for fireworks with their family and they walked into this place on the lake and as soon as Shannon and Tony saw each other...They knew that their lives would never be the same. Truly LOVE at first sight!

They were engaged on New Years and wanted to get married on Valentine's Day.  The couple wanted something sweet, simple yet romantic and they just knew that even though it was in the middle of the day and mid week, that was the perfect day to add to their love story! The mountain was very special to them. That is where they went on their 1st date and since they had a lot of distance between them with Shannon living in Houston and Tony living in Little Rock, they literally made it their mission to move mountains to be together and that has become the theme of their love story. Moving Mountains!
 
SHANNON: Everything came together so perfectly. The weather, the view... the entire experience was a dream come true! God put the two of us in each others path and it was just so precious to stand on the top of the mountain, getting married by your Ordained Uncle who was also there when we first met and breathing in new life, knowing that we did it! We literally moved mountains to be together!
