Get ready for a gorgeous fall wedding! Captured by Lisa Dolan Photography, Jessica and Shannon were married this past November in a lovely ceremony in St. Louis, Missouri. The ceremony was held at Jessica’s childhood church, followed by a reception at a nearby hotel ballroom. Between the ceremony and reception, the couple and their photographer headed to the Moonrise Hotel for a few images on their colored staircase. Jessica chose a beautiful color palette of deep purples to carry throughout the wedding attire and decor. The gorgeous oranges and reds of the fall leaves are a wonderful backdrop for this beautiful wedding!
A few word on how the couple met:
Jessica and Shannon met in the summer of 2006. They were both working in St. Louis on a summer job at Waterway Car Wash. Shannon typically worked at a different location but volunteered to work at another store one day. Some might call it chance; they like to think of it as fate. While washing a car together the flirting ensued. They worked together the rest of their shift which is atypical for the work environment. After the shift ended Jessica put her phone number on a sticky note and left it under Shannon’s windshield wiper. Her phone did not leave her side for the rest of the day! Shannon finally called later that night and they met for a casual dinner and drinks. As their friends will attest, they have been and will always be inseparable and infatuated with one another!
