INTRODUCING STEVE & DENESSA SHAW -

We were so glad that Denessa allowed us to be a part of their day this past Saturday. Everything was perfect.... Even the turning leaves of the surrounding woods coordinated with the the smallest details.


Denessa's uncle, Dwight, walks her down the aisle towards her Groom - Steve.

What a gorgeous table setting was designed by Denessa herself!

Their wedding cake was made by a woman from Lawrence and the cake was decorated by a woman who works at the Inn.


The tent was decorated with branches that had tealight candles and butterflies hanging in them. Every detail was just perfect!


Denessa and Steve cut the cake right before he shoves it into her face! :O)


Denessa, a fellow-photographer from Los Angeles, has a really great eye.
She really wanted a night shot of the house and it turned out beautifully.



Congratulations Steve and Denessa!
We couldn't be happier for you two.

We wish that your honeymoon and your life will be as beautiful as your wedding day.
.... and if your wedding was any indication, we know it will be!
