Derek and Shannon - Splendor Pond Wedding in Mooresville, NC

First of all, let me tell you this. Derek and Shannon’s wedding was filled with love, of course, laughs, tears, AND never-ending energy! There were about 120 people in attendance varying in age from little children to elderly people. They all danced away past the send-off time. It was also rainy during the reception. Thankfully, the rain held off for us to make the final exit. Isn’t God so good to us?

Derek and Shannon’s wedding was held in such a beautiful wedding venue, Splendor Pond, where there is a flower gardens, a big pond, a wonderful walking trail, and well-maintained patio. Everything was picturesque. Above all, the bride and groom were even more gorgeous in the venue and I couldn’t stop photographing or take a break the whole event.

The photography started at noon when it was very hot. Yes, it was oddly hot in late May. Shannon was busy and excited to check out all the flowers, chairs, and the decoration. I started with the detail shots. They had so many cute details for me to capture.

Since it was hot, the wedding ceremony was held in the woods, which made us enjoy the ceremony without worrying about the weather.

I knew that Derek would cry and get emotional once he saw Shannon walk down aisle. It was a calm, sweet, and cute ceremony. Wow, the reception, the party, was totally different! What a wonderful group of people who love Derek and Shannon and celebrated with all the energy they have!
