Wedding Date: May 24th 2026

I joined Meghan in the bridal suite while she was putting on the final touches, and honestly, that room was overflowing with love the second I walked in. Everyone glowing, everyone happy, that particular kind of buzzing excitement that fills a space right before the big day begins. From there I found Jon, practically vibrating with anticipation for the first look, and I don't think I've seen a groom more genuinely thrilled to see his bride.

That first look happened out on a stone bridge, and I mean, picture perfect doesn't even do it justice. You can see exactly how much they love each other without either of them saying a word. They exchanged handwritten notes right there before the day swept them up, and I loved capturing every second of it.

We spent some time wandering the grounds together before meeting up with their wedding party, a genuinely sweet group, easy laughter, easy energy all around. And then came the ceremony, set outdoors surrounded by lush green and a waterfall landscaped right into the background. Wexford at Emerald Greens truly outdid itself here, because I don't think I could have designed a more stunning ceremony backdrop if I'd tried. Giggles and smiles carried through the whole thing, nothing stiff or overly formal, just pure joy from start to finish. When Meghan and Jon walked back down the aisle, guests blew bubbles overhead, catching the light and drifting around them, genuinely magical. Their dog even played a part in the ceremony, and afterward we grabbed a few portraits together, because a wedding day dog cameo never gets old.

After the ceremony, Meghan and Jon split a plate of nachos out of a mini Twins helmet, completely unbothered, just having fun and being themselves. From there we explored more of the course grounds during golden hour, and the light out there was some of the best I've seen all season, rich, warm color spilling across every blade of grass, the whole property looking like it had been lit specifically for them.

Back inside, the room erupted in cheers the moment they walked in. Toasts followed, sweet and heartfelt, and their first dance was lovely. Later, Meghan slipped into a second dress, long and flowing, perfect for dancing the rest of the night away, and we stepped back outside just as the sun was setting to show it off. That's when they popped a bottle of champagne, bubbly spraying everywhere while the two of them laughed and ducked out of the way, then passed the bottle back and forth, drinking straight from it like a couple of kids sneaking something they shouldn't. They danced and twirled together as the sun sank below the horizon.
