Brace yourselves for some serious beauty! You may remember Megan and Matt from their chilly November engagement session last year (if you missed it you can see it HERE). The weather was much more friendly this time as we were gifted with a sunny day and bright blue skies for their wedding!

I met the girls at her parent’s house for getting ready photos, which I always love. There is just something about getting ready in the house you grew up in that has so much meaning. And it helps when they have a great backyard for me to shoot details photos in! I was instantly in love the mismatched blush dresses the bridesmaids wore and Megan looked flawless. After a few quick photos at the house we were off to the ceremony at their local church.

Post ceremony we headed out with the newlyweds and wedding party to Herrick Lake which was the perfect spot for photos! I could have shot there all day with the gorgeous light peaking through the trees…. but we had a party to get to! I also heard the song “Hot Cheetos and Takis” for the first time ever and it was stuck in my head for days…. so thank you wedding party for that! haha

The Westin in Itasca was a gorgeous tented setting with cocktail hour outside the guests were able to enjoy the sunset. Maggie Speaks rocked out the reception (no seriously it looked like a packed concert) which was great for us as we love when we get a big group of dancers!

Thank you again to Megan, Matt and their families for allowing us to be a part of your day!
