John & Shannon’s wedding at Elliston Vineyards is just so breathtaking! I LOVE these images from their beautiful wedding day. Elliston Vineyards is seriously a hidden gem, tucked in the little town of Sunol, just southwest of wine country in Livermore. There is so much that I love about their wedding at Elliston Vineyards; the joy on Shannon’s face as she walked down the aisle, with her dad’s proud grin as he held her hand. John’s calm demeanor as he waited for his bride to arrive. Shannon’s excitement as family and friends came up to see her as she put on her beautiful wedding dress at the Elliston estate.   During dinner, we talked to their officiant, or “Rev” as they called him (also their Uncle), he told us that when he asked Shannon how she was feeling about the wedding, her response was one that was so honest and true – “I’m just excited to marry John and start our lives together!”

S+J, SO happy for you guys and your future! Your love shines bright and I know it will make for a long and happy marriage. xo!

The room Shannon got ready in at Elliston was BEAUTIFUL in all it’s victorian decor.

Excited brother comes to say hello!

Shannon!! You are BEAUTIFUL!

Such a precious moment when her brother in law and maid of honor’s husband arrived to surprise Shannon on her wedding day! I believe he was out of state and flew in that day!

Cutest ring bearers!! And I LOVE the moments Shannon had with her dad as she walked down the aisle.

Breathtaking scenery at Elliston Vineyards.

They had a backyard reception and it was SO impressive!! Who doesn’t love a pink backyard wedding reception?? :)
