On a warm summer night, Shannon and Patrick first crossed paths while fishing under the starlit sky. Patrick had reconnected with Robbie, Shannon's brother, during his summer visit, rekindling their long-standing friendship. None of the exuberant group could have predicted how meaningful this evening would become.Instantly, Shannon and Patrick clicked, sharing fits of laughter while subtly striving to impress one another. Their newfound friendship was punctuated by stolen glances and whispered jokes, leading to secret hand-holding and quick, sneaky kisses whenever Robbie and their father, John, were not watching.Despite the couple living hours away when summer ended, the pair stayed in constant contact, dreaming of ways to bridge the distance. During a spring visit home, Patrick took a bold step, asking Shannon to be his girlfriend. From that moment, their love story began, unfolding into a shared journey neither could have imagined.

Our Story

Photos

NatNat isn’t just ShanShan’s best friend—she’s her big sis and her heart. She’s been there through it all, always knowing exactly how to lift Shan up when she needs it most—because, after all, sisters are pure magic.

Natalie isn’t only stunning on the outside—her soul shines even brighter. She has a way of bringing light into every room and wrapping Shan in love when she needs it most. On this special day, having her rays of sunshine by Shan’s side is more than a blessing—it’s a piece of home, a piece of forever.

Natalie Berwick

Nancy is not only Shan’s cousin but also one of her very best friends in the world. She’s been by Shan’s side since the very beginning, and together they’ve built a lifetime of endless memories and unconditional love. These two would do anything for one another — from school projects (huge thanks, cuz! 🙌) to life’s biggest adventures.

Bonded by their shared love for animals, Nancy and Shan are often found under the stars, exploring nature’s beauty, shopping for their favorite beauty finds, or treating themselves to relaxing spa days. To Shan, Nancy is more than family — she’s like a sister — and she couldn’t be more grateful to have her in her life. ❤️

Chels and Shan go wayyy back — and they have Shan’s big brother to thank for introducing her to her forever bestie. In their twenties, they proudly claimed the title of wall-twerking pros (a badge they still wear with pride). Chels is one of the kindest souls Shan has ever known — her heart of gold and effortless warmth light up every room she walks into.

Over the past 15+ years, these two have been through it all — laughter, tears, wild adventures, and unforgettable milestones. Chels and Shan have always believed in a little bit of magic… which might just explain why, no matter what life throws at them, things always seem to work out in the most beautifully unexpected ways. ✨

Chelsea Berwick

Ellie is Shan’s sweet niece and the keeper of her whole heart. Her giggles, bright smile, and endless loving energy can turn even the toughest day into pure sunshine. On the wedding day, you’ll likely see her wobbling down the aisle in all her cuteness—then stealing the dance floor with her mama, Chelsea, and her daddy, J.D.

To Shan, Ellie isn’t just a niece—she’s a little piece of magic and joy, a reminder of what love looks like in its purest form.

Heath and Shan instantly clicked the very moment Shan’s brother Robbie introduced them. Heath is drop-dead gorgeous, inside and out. Her fearless spirit lights a fire in Shan’s heart and inspires her every single day. The way she loves fiercely and lives wholeheartedly for the people she cares about reminds Shan so much of her own father—a gift she treasures deeply. Heath carries herself with such grace and strength, even in the hardest of times. That rare resilience, paired with her radiant heart, is just one of the many reasons Shan loves having Heather in her life.

Heather Berwick

Katy and Shannon — where to begin with this dynamic duo? Their journey as best friends and partners-in-crime started in childhood, when they forged an unbreakable bond while playing sports together. When high school hit, their mischief reached new heights, and while they may have kept their parents on their toes, the real joke is that those very parents had introduced them in the first place! These ladies would go to the ends of the earth for one another. As Shannon prepares for her wedding day, she is beyond excited to have Katy by her side, ready to bring her boundless love and uplifting energy to the celebration.

Day-ner and Shan first crossed paths through Natnat on a memorable trip to Big Sur years ago. Not long after, Shan joined the two down south at Cal State Northridge, where their bond truly blossomed. From beach trips and pool days to nights out and cozy movie nights in, life with Dana has always been full of laughter and adventure.

Dana naturally took Shan under her wing, and the two quickly became “gypsy sisters.” To this day, Shan will always be Dana’s little munchkin—her forever “Baby Sis.” Over the years, Dana became more than a friend; she became family, sharing countless holidays with the Berwick crew.

Some of their best memories were made as neighbors at The Rayen Retreat—their magical little apartment complex. As Day-ner always said… “If these walls could talk…” Haha.

Dana Beyer

Shan and Annika were introduced by their soulmates Pat and Hayden one magical summer in the wilderness. Annika is brilliant, beautiful, and a total bad ass. If she isn't teaching Shan new tricks on the Jet Ski the two are climbing waterfalls or giggling about another ranch ride break down. Annika has been their for Shan through thick and thin. Shan always knows she can count on Annika. She keeps it real and is one of the most loyal humans Shan has met. Shannon's wedding day would not be complete without Annika's uplifting and loving energy.

Annika Stahl

Sammie is not only Shan’s beautiful cousin, but also one of her closest lifelong friends. The two grew up side by side, partners in mischief and laughter, spending countless days as little rugrats running around, giggling until their cheeks hurt. Sammie has always been a radiant ball of energy, her excitement and joy bubbling over in every moment — a trait she still carries today. Her love, laughter, and unwavering support mean the world, and having her by Shan’s side on this special day is truly a blessing.

Sammie Niklas

Melody is Shan’s sweet second cousin, and everyone is overjoyed for this beautiful little flower girl to be part of the celebration. She’s a true angel—radiating sunshine with her sweet spirit and joyful smile. Shan’s heart is so full of love for this little cutie and cannot wait to share the dance floor with her on the big day.

Wedding Party

Q + A

We listed a handful of lodging options below. Please note that the Venue is quite close to Carmel and Monterey Bay where there are plenty of other options to stay!

This is where the Wedding Ceremony and Reception dinner will be taking place. We have chosen a very intimate venue with limited room options. If you are interested in staying at Glen Oaks Big Sur we ask that you please reach out to the Bride and Groom directly.

Enjoy a delightful stay just under 2 miles from our wedding venue at the Big Sur Lodge, nestled within the enchanting redwood forest of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. Fun fact: This is where the Bride and Groom first dreamed up the idea of getting married in Big Sur, etching it forever in their hearts.

Big Sur Lodge

Reserve a campsite, cabin, or hotel room at one of Big Sur's most magical locations: Fernwood. Positioned near Highway 1, next to a charming store and tavern, this spot offers diverse accommodations. Campsites are nestled below the lodge right by the river, providing a serene escape. If you know the Bride and Groom, chances are you're familiar with Fernwood. It promises an unforgettable experience.

Fernwood Campground and Resort

Stay in the heart of Big Sur in one of our clean and comfortable guest rooms. As one of only a handful of Big Sur hotels, our riverside suites overlook the expansive lawn and redwood-lined Big Sur River, and our motel-style ridge rooms are located along historic Highway One across from the main lodge.

Big Sur River Inn

Deetjen's Inn invites you to relax in comfortable, rustic rooms on the edge of the redwood forest in Big Sur.

Deetjen’s Big Sur Inn

Ripplewood Resort is right next door to the Wedding Venue. These beautiful rustic cabins are located deep in the redwoods right next to the river. Don't forget your water shoes unless you are as barefoot and crazy as our wedding party!
