A Romantic Sebago Lake Wedding at Autumn Lane Estate

Shannon and Jessica’s Sebago Lake wedding at Autumn Lane Estate was a perfect mix of romance and rustic charm. From their emotional first looks and heartfelt personal vows to a fun-filled celebration with family and friends, their day captured the beauty of love, laughter, and lasting memories.

Their Love Story

Shannon and Jessica’s love story is one built on friendship, shared passions, and unforgettable adventures. They first met while working in athletics at Babson College—Shannon as Assistant to the Athletic Director and part-time Softball Coach, and Jessica as the Assistant Women’s Soccer Coach. Their connection sparked over playful competitiveness during “Noon Hoops,” a lunchtime basketball game where they first saw each other’s athletic sides and quickly became inseparable.

Their first official date was a casual bowling night, yet it marked the beginning of a relationship full of laughter, shared values, and a deep emotional connection. From walking around campus together to tackling their MBA program side by side, Shannon and Jessica built a partnership that perfectly balanced creativity and practicality.

Their engagement story is nothing short of cinematic. Shannon surprised Jessica with a heartfelt proposal video shown to Jessica’s parents in Maine, leaving everyone in tears. Just weeks later, Shannon proposed on the beach at Sebago Lake using a stick-figure drawing from Jessica’s journal—complete with champagne and fireworks. Jessica returned the gesture three weeks later atop Douglas Mountain at sunset, solidifying their love with two unforgettable proposals.

The Wedding Day

For their wedding, they chose Autumn Lane Estate, just minutes from Sebago Lake, a place they’ve cherished throughout their relationship. Held on July 17, 2021, their day was a perfect mix of romantic and rustic charm. Guests were treated to a weekend-long celebration, with an outdoor ceremony that survived a brief downpour and an emotional exchange of personal vows. Both Shannon and Jessica shared emotional first looks with each other and their fathers, while heartfelt speeches from siblings added even more meaning to the day.

The wedding style reflected their love for Sebago Lake and the natural beauty of the estate: a romantic barn theme with earthy floral arrangements, soft natural tones, and an atmosphere of rustic elegance. The evening ended with dancing, laughter, and a magical sparkler exit, leaving everyone with memories to last a lifetime.

From their playful beginnings in athletics to a heartfelt Sebago Lake wedding, Shannon and Jessica’s love is a testament to friendship, devotion, and celebrating life’s most meaningful moments together.
