Morro Bay Ranch Wedding

Shannon and Devin, August 15th, 2020

This Morro Bay Ranch wedding was a literal dream come true. Planning a wedding in the middle of a global pandemic is no joke. Unfortunately, Shannon and Devin found this out first hand. Especially since rules and regulations change by the minute right now. Since they lost their venue, they decided to move their wedding to Shannon’s family ranch in Morro Bay, California. Turns out that was kismet. Despite morning lightning storms, a pandemic, and more, their wedding went off without a hitch!

Shannon and Devin met at the American Rodeo a few years ago. You can read their engagement blog post here. While we braved a cold and cloudy day for that session, we got lucky with a gorgeous and warm day for their wedding. Shannon comes from a rodeo family. Her mom and sister barrel race and Shannon has done multiple events. Furthermore, her dad is none other than John W. Jones Jr. Champion Steer Wrestler and was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1996. Additionally qualifying for the NFR twice in tie-down roping. But enough about him!

Not only was it a perfect day, but Shannon and Devin made stunning and unique choices for their perfect wedding day. Colorful flowers, a mariachi band, a badass band from Nashville for the reception, stunning rentals for epic lounge areas and so much more! Needless to say, everywhere you looked was perfection. It goes without saying that if you looked in Shannon and Devin’s general direction at any point during the night all you saw were smiles and so much love!

Undoubtedly the ceremony site was special due to a wedding arch made from manzanita branches found on their Morro Bay ranch by the father of the bride. The dessert table was gorgeous. Without a doubt, the food from the Far Western was beyond excellent. And unquestionably, one of the most touching mother son dances I’ve ever witnessed.

To top it off we had a STELLAR vendor team. Roll call at the end of the post.

Enjoy the photos from the day and to the happy couple: here’s to love, laughter, and happily ever after!
