The day couldn’t be more perfect for Shannon and Brandon Conwell. The ranch had lots of rain the day before, but the day was sunny and perfect for their wedding on December 20, 2020. It was held at Hidden Vista Ranch in Thorndale, Texas, near Granger Lake. A wedding venue in the making. This was the third wedding held at #HiddenVistaRanch.
Shannon was surrounded by amazing friends, who helped her get ready for an amazing day at the altar. Shannon and her bridesmaids began their day with a hair and make up artist at the ranch. Shannon looked so beautiful. The attention to detail was absolutely amazing from the favors, flowers, table decor, etc. One of my favorite things was her wedding cowgirl boots that she wore down the aisle.
We had to photograph the boots with her wedding rings on them. There was a lovely wedding swing on the property so when we were taking the wedding couple’s pictures, we decided to have them sit on the swing for one little push and a romantic kiss. The sun was just starting to go down so the hues in the sky were perfect for wedding photos. Our favorite time for photos, especially wedding photos, is the golden hour.
The evening was so nice with family and friends socializing and giving toasts, a garder toss, a shoe game with the bride and groom, and a sparkler send off. We were able to capture a bend over kiss at the end of the line, right before they departed into the antique car that belongs to the ranch for weddings and special events. To see them ride off into the night as a new married couple was fun. We feel so much a part of every wedding we do as we get to know the happy couple. Brandon and Shannon are very special people. I not only got to photograph this people, but i also had the privilege of watching the groom grow up into an amazing young man. We are so happy for Brandon that he and Shannon will begin their new lives together. Shannon is a very sweet girl and they make the perfect couple.
