“We are so grateful for everyone who celebrated our wedding with us near and far. The love was genuinely felt. We are so excited to be geographically closer to many of you soon”

Meghan and Justin’s Rustic Winter Wonderland Wedding was a dream. It was the first weekend in months where the snow cleared up and they were able to have a beautiful sunny ceremony on the dock, at West Shore Cafe.

They are some of the sweetest most giving people you’ll ever cross paths with. Meghan describes their personalities as Type A with a creative flare (Justin plays guitar and Meghan used to dance).

I’m so honored to have documented their wedding. Enjoy a tiny peak of their big day!

What does the future hold for Meghan and Justin? “The sky is the limit. New careers, expanding the family, new location. We just want to keep building and expanding on our already full and beautiful life together.”

Tips to future brides planning a wedding: “A good photographer and videographer are worth their weight in gold- they day goes by so quickly and you want to look back on well preserved moments. Also take a quiet minute with your bride/groom immediately after the ceremony to really soak up what you just committed to each other- then go party!”
