Seth and Darnelle {Groomals by Shannon Masayo}

08.19.10

Check out these killer images shot by Shannon Masayo Photography! ย These are a little different then your traditional Groomal photosโ€ฆ but that is why we love them! The bride is wearing a vintage dress which is her actual wedding dressโ€ฆLOVE! Here is a little story about how the couple met and feel in love!

โ€œSeth and I met through some mutual friends at a little hole-in-the-wallย  bar in SLC . We started out as just friends having fun crowd surfing and dancing to The Killers. We eventually started sneaking away to grab a kiss or two and from there we started going on real dates and the rest is history, as they say. When we decided to get married we knew we werenโ€™t going to have the conventional Utah wedding. The whole thought of planning a big elaborate wedding gave us both a headache. We decided to have a very small wedding with only our closest friends and family. We didnโ€™t want our special day to be about entertaining distant relatives and obscure friends. Vegas was chosen because it was a half-way point for our friends and family in Utah, Arizona, and Texas and letโ€™s be honest, the entertainment, restaurants, and nightlife had a little bit to do with the decision. We had the ceremony and reception at a lovely Italian restaurant and afterwords we headed to Fremont Street for singing and dancing. At one of the dance clubs we bribed a DJ to play the song we sorta fell in love to, Mr. Brightside by The Killers. We all went crazy dancing and our friends crowd surfed us both, which was a fabulous end to our big day. โ€

For as long as I can remember they do this. so funny.

These pictures below made my cry during the shoot.

These were the last few hours they had together before Ryan had to put Carson on a flight back to Alaska where he lives.

He is single ladies.

I had so much fun shooting these two, and it warmed my heart to be a part of their last few hours together.

You can tell by these photos, no matter how far apart they are, they love each other very very much.

Before and After

I just wanted to show that you are not only paying for the 1-2 hour shoot, you are paying for the time it takes in post processing photos.ย  A lot of work goes into both, and sometimes when you get your photos you don’t realize all the hard work that has gone into them ๐Ÿ™‚ย  This first one is a drastic change the one below is your average curve change and removal of blemishes and abstract objects in the photo. enjoy:)


a little taste.

this was by far the most challenging family session I have ever had. but aren’t these kiddos cute!!!!
