Shawna and Michael started out as friends, but soon their relationship grew into something more. After several years together, Michael planned a springtime getaway to West Virginia. At the historic Thomas Shepherd Inn in Shepherdstown, Michael proposed, and Shawna, of course, said yes! We celebrated the occasion with an engagement session at the inn and other lovely places around Shepherdstown…

After portraits, it was time to party!
Matt Shew of Shew-sical Entertainment kept the crowd entertained as master of ceremonies. Not only is he our good friend, but he also went to high school with Michael!
During the newlywed shoe game, Matt asked a series of questions, such as who is the most likely to leave dishes in the sink or who is more romantic…
The lucky winners of the anniversary dance were happy to explain their secrets for a long marriage.
At the end of the night, Shawna and Michael were game to try out some light painting with our Pixelstick, and we love the results!
