Thank you for all of the love and support this little corner of the internet has received over the past several years. As friends and family members were getting married, their weddings fueled the inspiration for this blog. But as seasons of life change, my focus, along with those nearest and dearest, shifted away from the wedding planning stage and I began to neglect this blog.

I have decided to indefinitely retire Calligraphy by Shannon in an effort to pour my attention into my lifestyle blog The Scribble Pad where I will be merging past and future inspiration boards and parties. You will still be able to place orders for calligraphy, custom invitations, and hand stamped items through my etsy shop. And as always, you can stay in touch with me under my moniker, The Scribble Pad on my blog, etsy shop, facebook, and even twitter! I look forward to sharing this new adventure with you.

Wedding Photos in the Snow

The more winter weather we face across the US, the more I think of brides who are braving the cold to take their wedding photos in the snow. I guess it is your only option when your wedding day is blessed with graceful flakes. Check out these incredible photos of Merisa and Sam by Heather Waraksa:

It's Snowing in DC...

...only a little bit, and it hasn't been sticking. Even still, it puts me in the mood for a tremendous snow storm, and time at home to be bundled up with hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire. Wishful thinking on my part, but we can enjoy the winter season through pictures. Check out these great engagement shots of Becky and Jason in the snow!

Becky and Jason look like they planned to have their engagement shots taken in the snow all along. Rather then cancle their photo shoot, they had fun with it and worked the camera!


Photography couple Tony and Amy Hoffer always take fantastic photos. One of the things I love best about their work is their creative ring shots. This give the word "ice" a whole new meaning!

To see more of Tony and Amy's work, visit their blog or website.
