Lancaster County Park Engagement | Shannon & Jesse

lancaster wedding photographer
Our first scheduled session was postponed due to unpredictable weather, so we met up with Shannon and Jesse last week on a beautiful fall afternoon. When we initially met for their consultation, we immediately observed how playful they are with one another and how much they make each other smile. We knew going into this session that we would have a lot of fun, and we were right!

Love. When you are willing to embark on new adventures that you would have previously NEVER gone on! We loved hearing about a few of the adventures these two have taken so far.

We were happy to aid in the adventuring! This little spot wasn’t the easiest to get to, but it was well worth it.

Not only are these two super sweet, but they have a sense of humor that we just get. I’m so thankful I was able to stay steady enough to get sharp images despite laughing the whole time!

Some might consider these ‘outtakes’, but they truly show Shannon and Jesse’s personality as a couple!

It was about this point in the session that we noticed that while shielding Shannon from the killer trees, Jesse took one to the forehead! Jesse, we are super impressed by your chivalry and know that Shannon greatly appreciated you taking one for the team!

The park was empty and quiet, and this is so fitting!

I can’t help it! I love the outtakes, and Shannon’s faces, too!

Adventure number two during the session. We tend to go where the light leads us. In this case Shannon and Jesse were troopers, and hiked through some very questionable ground covering.

Well worth the climb!

There weren’t many times during the session that these two weren’t smiling or laughing, but this seemed to do the trick!

There’s plenty of research to support the phrase, “laughter is the best medicine,” and we hope that you forever are able to laugh with one another!

Shannon made a special request, and we were happy to oblige! We love the symbolism in this photo.

Just as we were heading out, the sun peeked through the clouds and we couldn’t resist just a few more.

And of course there’s the just one more after the just one more.

Shannon & Jesse, we are super excited to see you and your families next year for your wedding day! Of course, we are most excited to see the spectacular dance moves you promised!
