A Unique Engagement Shoot in a Lucknow Cemetery
Capturing Shannan and Joe’s engagement session in Lucknow, Ontario, was an unforgettable experience that truly reflected their vibrant personalities and deep connection. With their dogs, Wednesday and Nova, by their side, we explored a truly unique and hidden gem of the area, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Shannan and Joe’s love story began in an unexpected yet charming way. Shannan, seeking her second tattoo, was introduced to Joe through her brother’s common-law girlfriend. What started as a professional encounter quickly blossomed into a close friendship. Just six months later, on Joe’s birthday, that friendship transformed into something much deeper. Their bond grew stronger as they supported each other through life’s challenges. It wasn’t long before they knew they were meant to be together.
Their love story is one of shared passions and experiences. Both Shannan and Joe are avid hikers who love the outdoors, though Joe’s night shifts have limited their hiking adventures lately. However, they still find joy in simple pleasures like driving to nowhere in particular and spending time in record stores. Their connection is not just built on shared interests but also on how they support and uplift each other.
What makes Shannan and Joe’s relationship truly unique is their mutual love for music and the rock-and-roll lifestyle. Their upcoming wedding on August 9th, 2025, at Maelstrom Winery in Seaforth, ON, promises to be a celebration of their love for each other and their passion for music. With a punk rock theme, records as decorations, and a laid-back yet fun vibe, their wedding is sure to be a reflection of their cool, fun, and very rock-and-roll personalities.
One of the standout moments in their relationship was Joe’s proposal, which took place during a Bowling For Soup concert. Joe, with his characteristic charm and sense of humor, managed to surprise Shannan by getting her on stage during the concert. The proposal, captured on video, is a testament to their playful and adventurous spirits.
For their engagement session, we chose our very own village of Lucknow, with a twist. When they told me they wanted to take photos in a nearby cemetery, I was all in! It fit their vibe perfectly. The pre-fall setting provided a beautiful backdrop of warm, earthy tones, perfectly complementing the couple’s down-to-earth yet vibrant personalities.
Wednesday and Nova, their beloved dogs, added a touch of joy and playfulness to the session. As we wandered through the trails, the couple’s love for nature and each other was evident in every shot. Whether they were laughing together, sharing a quiet moment, or simply enjoying the fresh air, Shannan and Joe’s connection was palpable. Their adventurous spirits, combined with their deep love for each other, made for a truly magical engagement session.
As Shannan and Joe prepare for their punk rock wedding, I’m excited to continue documenting their journey together. Their engagement session in Lucknow was just a glimpse of the love, laughter, and adventure that defines their relationship. With their wedding day approaching, I’m looking forward to capturing more of their special moments, from the punk rock details to the heartfelt exchanges that make their love story so unique.
Shannan and Joe, thank you for allowing me to be a part of this incredible journey. Your love story is one of a kind, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you both.
