I met with Megan in November 2011 to talk with her about her wedding. And like most of my clients, we clicked. When we met and did their Engagement shoot at Magnolia Plantation earlier this year, it was my first time meeting Cisco. I promised not to make him do anything cheesy, which I think made him feel better about it! Megan’s bridal portrait session almost was rained out, but thankfully the weather cleared up and the sky looked beautiful at Boone Hall. So when their wedding day came, we had already spent a lot of time together which made it feel more like I was fortunate enough to be shooting a dear friend’s wedding. The flowers at The Island House were all in bloom and butterflies were flying around everywhere! Everyone had a fabulous time singing karaoke at the reception! The sunset set at The Island House is always amazing and this night was no exception! Congratulations Megan & Cisco, you guys rock!

It was a day of crazy weather. But thankfully, we had enough breaks and they were perfectly timed so we were able to get lots of great photos! I love these guys and their story. They’ve been together since high school and been apart for a long time through college. So excited to see them start their life together!

Thankfully the rain held off and gave us a beautiful sunset. These guys are so much fun! Their first dance was great and Bryan even sang a special karaoke song to Ellen!

The Island House is a great location for a wedding because it has so much to offer. It’s on the water, has room to great ready, a couple of flower fields, even a salt flat! While we were hoping one of the fields of flowers would be in bloom, we got the corn field instead! I just love the photos we were able to take there. Whitney and Andrew were so adorable! Enjoy their preview!
