Wedding | Brad & Megan

3/22/12

Today, in honor of all the wonderful warm and Springy weather we’ve been having, I bring you a fun Indiana wedding from last Summer. It was particularly cool to get to shoot Megan & Brad’s wedding because I’ve known Megan since I was in 6th grade, and she was in 4th. We were both musical theater enthusiasts and participated in a children’s community summer theater that was for 4th – 8th grade students. Our fateful year of meeting we were tackling “Pirates of Penzance” and hilariously enough, tiny little Megan played a PIRATE (complete with a drawn-on beard!) and I was one of the General’s daughters and we “ended up together” in the last scene of the play where all of the pirates and daughters are basically getting hitched. Haha. It’s strange the ways you make friends when in theater… ;) At any rate, when she first emailed me about her real life WEDDING I was like, are we really old enough for this to be happening?! But time passes far too quickly, and it turns out we really ARE in our 20’s, now! It was such a joy to be part of her special day – to see what an amazing woman she’s become, and get to know the man who won her heart. :)

Their wedding was held at the beautiful Avon Gardens in Avon, IN.

She was just beaming!

Brad was exuding quite a bit of excitement, himself!

They opted to do a First Look, which I always LOVE, and their’s was so sweet.

I love the vibrant colors she had in her flowers!

Megan is the oldest in her family and the first to get married, and it was so touching to see her and her dad interact as he was giving her away.

They had a sundae station! Perfect dessert for a hot summer evening.

Megan and her dad did the most hilarious, creative mash-up father/daughter dance I’ve ever seen! And it was a TOTAL surprise for all of their guests.

They literally RAN out for their exit, which just proves that they do everything with vibrant passion and excitement, and I love that!

Happy Thursday, everyone! And thanks again to Brad & Megan for having me along as part of your incredible day! I pray that marriage is and always will be a joyful, passionate adventure for you both! :)
