It's wedding week here at Shawna Noel Photography. We're hard at work editing all of our summer weddings, and we've got five beautiful and unique weddings to blog ... from a BIG small town wedding to a lakeside-ceremony to a reception in a barn ... so stay tuned to the blog to see all of them :)  
 
People always ask us if we get tired of shooting weddings each weekend, and the answer is a definite no! Every wedding we photograph is so unique. It's exciting to see how people put their personal stamp on their wedding day. And as a girl, I get really excited to see all the details like the flowers, the dress, and the shoes! Check out Leah's Manolos and her fabulous lace dress from her wedding last weekend ::

In honor of wedding week, here are some random Shawna Noel Photography wedding factoids :: 
 
Favorite part of the wedding day ::  
Shawna :: Right before the bride walks down the aisle with her dad. I love the moments between the bride and her dad before they make their grand entrance into the church or ceremony location. 
Kory :: I like the time we set aside for couple-only portraits. The couple has a chance to relax and be themselves in front of the camera, and I like capturing the moments they share at that time.  
 
What we listen to ::  
Shawna :: When I edit wedding photos (or any photos), I'm usually listening to The Current radio station out of Minneapolis (hooray for the internet!). But when I first start editing a wedding, I ALWAYS listen to "The Way You Look Tonight" by Tony Bennett. I know, it's totally dorky, but it's a tradition I started years ago and now it just feels wrong to edit a wedding without that song.  
Kory :: I listen to some internet radio and right now, I'm really into the Submarines (and apparently, so is Apple) and Ryan Adams. Oh, and I listen to how-to-speak Russian podcasts sometimes in case I ever travel to Russia for a wedding.  
 
Favorite first dance song ::  
Shawna :: Jazon Mraz "I'm Yours" 
Kory :: Winter Pills "Hide Me"
