Megan and Kevin – Married!

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

I had the pleasure last weekend of joining these two sweet people on one of the most important days of their lives – and, I don’t know if I’ve ever teared up so hard during a ceremony. Ever. The love between them is so palpable, even with Megan being shy (especially camera shy) and Kevin being a pretty quiet guy; it radiated out from them and they glowed a little, especially during their ceremony. I have to tell you, I hear Corinthians so often that I have it memorized. But at Megan and Kevin’s wedding, I don’t know that it’s ever sunk in so deep. The reading came just after the Father had read personal messages by Megan and Kevin, disclosing things they would tell their families if they could, what their love means to them, what marriage means to them, and more… to have Corinthians follow that, and end on the proclamation of “Love Never Fails”, well… if there was a dry eye in the house, I would have been surprised. I cried.

I started the day at Kevin’s parent’s house, with all the ladies. They are a fun bunch and I was able to grab some pictures of some details before we headed over to the church, where Megan got dressed.

Kevin was escorted by his parents down the aisle, and Megan walked with her father.

The ceremony was sweetly emotional. Kevin cried!

Here’s the part where I tell you how hilarious all of Kevin’s family are. His brothers and sister are so fun! Here’s one of their family photos in the church:

And the rest of their portraits turned out gorgeous as well.

Fun ones:

Gorgeous!

Some details:

The reception was a blast. They had a great DJ crew, appropriately named “Always a Party Entertainment”, and once the party got hoppin, there was no stopping.

The Maid of Honor and sister of the Bride, Maria, gives her speech (and didn’t want to go first!):

Kevin’s twin (yes, twin!) Patrick gives his toast:

The cake cutting – Megan got him!

The First Dance and Mother/Son, Father/Daughter:

And…. the PARTY!

Kevin and Megan, THANK YOU for having me at your wedding. It was a beautiful day from start to finish, and I loved every minute of it. You and your families were all so fantastic. Thank you!

P.S. and thank you especially for showing me what Corinthians is all about.

Stacy and AJ – Engagement Session #2

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

I really loved Stacy and AJ’s second engagement session. Their first one was at the City Museum, where AJ proposed. This one was at Laumeier Sculpture Park, with their little dog Barkley. Barkley was so sweet until my camera came out, then he turned into this…

Attack Barkley!

He was a little unsure of the camera, but he warmed up!

Stacy and AJ were adorable and I was so glad that we did the second session. Thanks you guys! Can’t wait until your October wedding!
