Shannon and Michael {La Notte Wedding}

When Shannon and Mike tied the knot at the beautiful La Notte, it was nothing short of a fairytale. From their sweet and emotional ceremony to the wild dance floor moments at the reception, every part of their wedding day was filled with love, joy, and unforgettable memories.

Shannon and Mike’s ceremony at La Notte was incredibly heartfelt. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as the couple exchanged their vows. It was clear to everyone present how deeply they love each other. The emotions were so raw and real that even guests, some of the wedding party, and their photographers were wiping away tears.

One of the highlights was their “pinky-promise” moment. As they held hands and made their promise to each other, the whole room burst into laughter. It was such a perfect blend of sincerity and light-heartedness—exactly what Shannon and Mike’s relationship is all about.

After the emotional ceremony, the party continued at the reception, and let me tell you, it was an absolute blast. The DJ kept the energy high all night long, with guests dancing and grooving to the music from start to finish. The energy was contagious, and it was so much fun to photograph everyone letting loose on the dance floor.

The light sticks added an extra layer of magic and fun to the evening. But one of my absolute favorite parts of the reception had to be the table dash to Shannon’s favorite band—the Jonas Brothers! It was such a fun moment that had everyone laughing and getting into the spirit of the celebration.

When I asked Shannon for advice for couples planning their own weddings, she had some really great words of wisdom: “Do all of your planning first, to avoid any stress.” Shannon and Mike’s approach to wedding planning was thoughtful and well-organized, which made their day go so smoothly. They made sure to tackle all the details early on, which meant they could enjoy their engagement without feeling overwhelmed.

One of Shannon’s favorite parts of the planning process was gown shopping with her mom. She knew right away when she found the perfect dress. It was a moment she’ll never forget, and she was confident that Mike would absolutely love it. And he did—Shannon looked stunning in her gown, and you could see the admiration in Mike’s eyes every time he looked at her.

Shannon and Mike also enjoyed touring different wedding venues and envisioning how their big day would unfold. They knew that La Notte was the perfect place for them, with its beautiful surroundings and the romantic atmosphere it provided.

After their wedding, Shannon and Mike jetted off to Punta Cana for a well-deserved honeymoon. Because I’m lucky enough to call Shannon a friend, I’ve been able to follow along on their tropical getaway via social media, and it looks like they had the best time! From lounging on the beach to exploring the local culture, they truly made the most of their honeymoon, and I couldn’t be happier for them.

Shannon and Mike’s wedding was just the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, and I couldn’t be more excited for them. As they prepare to welcome their little one, Baby Lena, into the world, I know their love story will only grow richer and more beautiful. The love and laughter they share is infectious, and I have no doubt they’ll be amazing parents.

Shannon and Mike, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your special day. I wish you a lifetime of happiness, love, and unforgettable moments. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both, and for Baby Lena!
