The moment: "We met at Tony’s Restaurant in Houston, where Austin is now executive chef, and where I was an intern," says Shannon, owner of The Everyday Bakeshop and Heirloom Interactive. They spent only a day working together before Shannon moved away briefly, then the two of them met up again serendipitously when Shannon moved back to Houston. "The timing was meant to be," she says. "We have not been apart since."
The bridal bouquet by Magnolia Ranch included dahlias, garden roses, lisianthus, hypericum berries and foraged greens.
Snazzy, autumnal boutonnieres.
A dapper crew.
The scenic ceremony setting. "Our wedding took place just as the leaves were changing and everything was now yellow," Shannon says. The floral designer attached matching branches to the ceremony arch to play up the color.

Shannon's grandfather, Stephen Smith, officiated. “When it was time for Austin to say his vows, Grumps gave him too many words to remember and he forgot what to say, so we had to slow down and repeat,” Shannon laughs.
