julie + shawn :: sweet country charm

two seated bikes. a cabin in the woods. homemade sweet mint tea. sunset on the water. these are just a few of the things that make julie + shawn have the sweetest country charm.

and though i almost ended up out of the canoe and in a lake… it was so worth it.

julie + shawn :: thanks for all the fun and craziness! enjoy :)
