After enjoying a long engagement, Shannon & Jared tied the knot on the very porch where Jared proposed to Shannon. Their elopement was extremely laid back and quick because as Shannon said “it was about time!”.
Since their engagement session, Shannon & Jared added a four-legged family member named Gigi and she helped her parents celebrate their love. Shannon’s mom crafted a gorgeous bouquet for Shannon and lovely boutonnière for Jared. It was an all-around wonderful family event.
