Megan and Joe are a dream to work with if you’re a wedding photographer.
Let’s ignore the blatantly obvious fact that they are both gorgeous people inside and out and let’s focus on their love and their beautiful day.

I loved that when I first met these two lovebirds that they were so easy to talk to and share ideas back and forth; it was like hanging out with old friends. They have been organized and stuck to their vision every step of the way.

Their wedding day, honestly, was one of the most special ones I’ve ever been a part of (no, seriously). Whether their own vows they wrote and read to each other (Joe’s actually had grown men tearing up in the church) or the never-ending laughs and smiles from the entire bridal party, it was so much fun and so sweet. Their love is undeniable.

We took a small risk in creating a no-look First Look-type picture. (Without seeing each other, Megan and Joe met on a corner of two walls and held hands and talked for a few moments before the ceremony.) I’m so glad we went through with it as it was a couple of minutes of pure emotion. They joked (“So, you still want to go through with this?”) and they both dabbed moist eyes (It’s amazing what a simple “I love you” means to two soulmates on such a day). I loved that moment.

In between the ceremony and reception, the bridal party stopped at Megan’s mom’s nearby property to take photos. It was gorgeous! Rolling hills and so much green around us on what was a fantastic day, weather-wise, too. Megan and Joe were not afraid to walk through some wildflowers or sit on the grass in order to grab a couple of really beautiful images.

Below are a few of my favorite shots. Do you have a favorite?

Megan and Joe, thank you, truly, for allowing me the absolute honor in sharing in your day and in the beginning of your marriage. You are the epitome of true love, beauty, fun and joy.
