Shaila + Scott {Same Day Edit}

I love the story of Shaila + Scott! Not only do I love their story, but I love how their family and friends came together in order to create the incredible vision that they had for their wedding. This was definitely an event that was more than “I Do” it was “We do”. Shaila had a vision to get married at Scott’s parents House in Truckee. The obstacle that they faced was that their land was all forest with no place for a ceremony or reception. Well over the past 6 months they worked beside their family and friends every weekend using bulldozers, shovels, chainsaws and their bare hands to create every piece of the wedding from that forest. They cleared the land, sawed the trees, built the pews, stained the seats… You name it, it was a labor of love.

Over the last year, we got to learn more and more about what they were doing to create their space. When we finally met in person, I asked Shaila if she could film part of construction that was going into this day. The big thing was that this day was much more than the two of them walking up the aisle, it was a commitment from their family to stand behind them because they have so much faith in their love.

We came up the night before and finally were in the presence of what we had only seen photos of and chatted about. I have to say I was completely blown away! Knowing the love of Truckee that Shaila and Scott had and seeing the beauty with our own eyes, we knew that it was just as important to capture as putting on “the dress”. The morning of their wedding {Saturday} Chris went out to find that beauty that drew these two here. The whole opening is really dedicated to Truckee and the friends and family who made this amazing day happen!

There are so many amazing details that I couldn’t fit into the Same Day Edit, so it makes me so excited for their Extended Highlight 🙂 I think that Shaila wins the Pinterest award of the year, because she had every detail taken care of without missing a beat.

Oh… I must say that Shaila’s wedding dress was one of the most beautiful that I have ever seen! It was absolutely PERFECT!!! It was unlike any other.

I think the nicest part of sharing in their day was watching how much they were loved by all! Even the officiant said during the ceremony that after meeting Shaila that he had hoped that his son would be lucky enough to meet someone like her. It was so hard to hold back the tears.

Shaila refers to Scott as being like a teddy bear and he really is. He has such an infectious smile. He is so sweet and kind and always smiling.

It is so clear that these two are going to have a wonderful life together filled with love and support from one another and surrounded by that same love and support from their friends and family.

Congrats! This was the film shown at their reception, so we hope that you enjoy reliving just a tiny bit of their experience!

Much love
Jennifer Mae, Chris and Christine!
