Johnn & Shelby | Sparrow Beginnings | Stillwater Wedding Photographer

Some love stories are just meant to be, and Johnn & Shelby’s is one of them. High school sweethearts turned soulmates, their wedding day at Sparrow Beginnings in Stillwater, OK was everything an intimate wedding should be—full of love, joy, family, and faith. From the moment the day started, you could feel the excitement, not just between them, but from every single person who came to celebrate.

The beauty of an intimate wedding is in the details—the quiet moments before the ceremony, the way their families surrounded them with love and prayer, and the way Johnn looked at Shelby like he was still that high school boy falling for his best friend. Every piece of the day was intentional, from the heartfelt vows to the moments of worship woven throughout. You could tell their marriage wasn’t just about them—it was about honoring God, the love they’ve built, and the community that has supported them along the way.

One of the most unique things about their day? They made sure to take a photo with every single guest. Most couples barely make it around the room, but Johnn & Shelby wanted to remember everyone who showed up for them. That’s just the kind of people they are—deeply kind, incredibly thoughtful, and full of love for the people in their lives.
