Shane & Erika

If you looked in the dictionary and found the word beautiful, you would see Erika & Shane. Yes they both are gorgous, but they also have the most loving souls. These two are not only just beautiful, but perfect. Perfect for each other. Beautiful together. So it was no surprise that October 2, 2010 was just that. Beautifully Perfect.

Every now and then I get a Bride who wants her whole day captured & asks me to spend 12 hours with them on their wedding day doing just that. And what better place then to spend that entire day then at the Canyon Oaks Country Club in Chico. This venue is Amazing. Their outdoors ceremony took place in front of the cutest gazebo, just next to the greens. With 150 of their closest friends & families celebrating their love and union of their families, Shane said 'I Do' with the promise of allowing Erika to come home from shopping and not look at the bill. While Erika's vow of "I Do" promised to let Shane watch sports uninterrupted. That is true love.

A quick trip away from the ceremony spot, allowed us some unique photos right on the greens. Where Mr & Mrs Burreson enjoyed some alone time, while Nicole Roberts, who graciously offered to be my 2nd shooter for the day, and I captured their beautiful essence. Seriously Beautiful.

Up in the Reception venue, the room lit by a breathtaking chandelier, guest dined, danced & celebrated late into the night. Slipping into a second gown, Erika and Shane, with wedding party in tow, headed to downtown Chico to their favorite hangout. The Wild Horse Salon. Not only did they dance the whole evening, but these two actually rode the bull. Yes. I got pictures.

Shane & Erika, I simply adore the two of you. Thank you for allowing me the great honor of spending your entire wedding day with you, capturing the laughter, tears & boot stomping fun. But for also coming into my life as new friends. I wish you all the happiness & joy in the world, and know that your marriage will always be Beautifully Perfect. All my love ~Jenn
