Saint Al's Wedding with Shavonne and Tom

I had so much fun meeting with Tom and Shavonne. Not just the first time when we met for beer and talk theology, or the second time when we did their engagement photos, but also the third time when I watched these two amazing people get married! They are so quick to smile, so willing to have a good time, and are just genuinely great humans. Being able to be there, and see Tom’s face as Shavonne walked down the aisle was incredible. And I'm so excited I get to be the one to share their wedding photos with you. I hope you love them!

Shavonne and Tom's Winter Engagement

They met at a friends birthday party - yes, that means it was in real life! While the friend was mutual, they did not know each other. Shavonne, who had not really had a boyfriend at that point, nor did she know how to dance (although she says she knew, she just never had danced with someone else yet), was asked to dance by one of the cute guys at the party (aka, Tom). This wasn't a high school two-step situation. They were swing dancing! So Tom swung the "cute girl" around for most of the night, but at the end he left.
