meghan + ryan | stonewall wedding

Untitled-1
I had so much fun at Meghan and Ryan's wedding last Saturday! I first met Meghan over two years ago when I was hired to photograph her sister's wedding. Since then, I have grown to love her whole family, and I was thrilled when she contacted me about photographing her own wedding this month!

Meghan and Ryan could not be any cuter. They are so much in love and it was such a joy to capture their wedding day. When we met a few months ago for their engagement shoot, Meghan told me that she first noticed Ryan at a party, and she introduced herself because she thought he was a great dancer. I think that's such an adorable story! And it's not hard for me to imagine this meeting... Meghan and Ryan are both incredibly outgoing and fun to be around. They were definitely the life of the party on Saturday! Here are just a handful of my favorite images for their day...

This bracelet belongs to Meghan's grandmother and was worn by both Meghan's mother and sister on each of their own wedding days. Every time that Meghan's grandmother gets a new pair of earrings, she adds her old set to the bracelet. What a beautiful tradition!

I don't typically post bridal party photos on the blog, but I love the way the rain clouds looked with all of the bright dresses...

While we were shooting portraits, the sky opened up and we were greeted with a summer rain shower. I actually love that we were able to grab a few shots under this umbrella!
