Imperfect Perfection: the wedding of megan & patrick

Megan and Patrick’s wedding was lovingly different in oh so many ways. For starters they decided to to tie the knot on a beautiful September Thursday evening. They choose McMinnamin’s Edgefield because not only was it beautiful they loved the historical significance of the place. When I met up with them on the big day their rooms were not ready, so they were having a laid back lunch with friends in the pub together. Not ones for lots of traditions the whole seeing each other before the wedding thing took a back seat to having a nice time with friends & family. Spending the day with these two was pretty much awesome.

Every little detail was just how Megan wanted, “perfectly imperfect”. I think she said that about the bows on the flowers, but I thought it was so fitting for the day. If the rooms were ready late, so great time for a lunch with friends. That is just how the day went, these two were there to have a lovely event, and they did.

I could go on, and on about great Megan & Patrick were, and how fun their day was, but really lets get to the photos! I think they will speak for them selves.

Megan had such great details. From her beautiful peach colored dress, to the amazing pearls made by a friend, it was all unique and elegant.

Megan also has some awesome friends who hooked up the hair and make up.

Patrick was also had some pretty cool details. I dug the boating shoes. 🙂

Patrick was also cool and calm, these two were the most laid back couple.

The whole energy in Megan’s room was so calm but full of joy, I just love her mom & grandma’s face seeing her all dressed up. These women are all soo wonderful, I loved seeing their bond.

this might be my favorite photo of Megan from the entire day, I just love her smile here.

our first look set up was fun, I could tell these two were happy to be back together and start the celebration.

We did a lot of laughing during our time together.

I loved shooting them together, they were so sweet and chill.

Edgefield was also a great place to shoot, even the garden shed was a lovely backdrop.

This image while it was suppose to be romantic completely cracks me up. The thing is when even I asked Megan & Patrick to get “nose to nose” they would start laughing, I had no idea why, well finally they told me. While I was trying to be romantic, apparently if their faces were that close it was all blurry.  Duh, well from then on I just asked them to “get blurry”!

I love all the colors of the day, fresh and beautiful.

We had a lot of laughter can you tell.

🙂

Once were done with the portraits we made our way to the most important part of the day, the ceremony.

The whole ceremony was beautiful and moving. Their officiant (and a personal friend of mine) Sally did a wonderful job. I have to admit even I got a little teary. It was short, sweet and incredibly moving.

While the happy couple enjoyed their party and the delicious spread I had a little fun with their rings. Like I said Edgefield is an amazing place to shoot.

The best part of the reception though really had to be the dancing. Megan, Patrick and their friends were so fun! I could do an entire post of just dancing photos!

Like I said, fun fun folks.

and one last photo of our happy couple. We got a chance to take a little walk at sunset.
