Shannon & John - An Unforgettable Mountain View Grand Wedding

On Saturday June 5, Shannon and John got married at the Mountain View Grand Resort and Spa in Whitefield, NH. What a crazy day this way. I started out with Shannon during bridal preparations, and she was as calm as ever. After she got in her dress I went downstairs to the ceremony location and as I proceeded through the ballroom, the fire alarm went off. Thankfully it was just a false alarm.
While outside, you could see storm clouds beginning to circle the resort, with the sound of thunder and the sight of lightening bolts in the near distance. It was very questionable if the ceremony should still take place outside. The decision was made to go for it and wouldn't you know, just as Shannon walked down the aisle, it started to lightly rain. And then it started to come down heavier, with large rain drops. So, we proceeded into the ballroom and resumed the ceremony in there.
During the ceremony you could hear the rain pouring down outside and the sounds of thunder getting closer and louder. About halfway through the ceremony, right when John was reading his vows, the skies cleared and the most spectacular double rainbow appeared in the windows right behind the bride and groom. It was absolutely perfect. During their formal session it started to rain again, but it was short lived. And wouldn't you know, that they got another full rainbow for their formal pictures.
It truly was an amazing and unforgettable night. From the unpredictability of the rain, to the rainbows, to the fantastic entrance that Shannon & John made - they kept smiling and kept calm through it all, even finding laughter in it. I can not thank Shannon & John enough for letting me be a part of such an fantastic day. This is their highlight video. All my best ~ Jaime.
