Although chilly, Meg and Jeremy (with wedding party in tow) certainly spiced up the day with humor and liveliness. Their group photo shots were some of our favorites from this year. From every bridesmaid having a hand in the bride getting dressed, to one of the best men jumping on the air vent Marilyn Monroe...

Lori Johnson (Mother of Bride) - Mark & Katelyn – WOW! What a wonderful reflection of Meg & Jeremy’s day. The photos give me goosebumps as they tell the story of their special day. Although the weather was chilly, you did a great job of capturing the warmth and love surrounding Meg & Jeremy. Thanks to our families and friends for being there. And thanks to YOU for capturing those moments!
Ben Chen - Great artistic post-processing of the images. Fabulous ring shot. I am sure the couple will love these images.
Rachel (Little Sister) - Wow Meg! These pictures are amazing. All of the cross-country girls said “SHE WAS SOO BEAUTIFUL!” It was a lot of fun being in your wedding. The pictures really show how much fun we all had. My favorite picture in the blog is your dress aginst the blue wall. Everybody I’ve talked to so far has said your dress is absolutely beautiful!
Love,
Rach
Meg (Bride) - It was a pleasure to work with you and Kaitlyn. I’m truly touched by your work. The photos capture everything about the day. I can’t wait to see our album put together!
Anonymous - Beautiful day! Beautiful woods! Beautiful bride! Beautiful wedding! Handsome Groom too !
Linda Mowbray (Aunt of Bride) - Wow! These pictures turned out gorgeous! You’d never know it was quite chilly that day. I love the black and white photo of the groomsmen & groomslady taken outdoors with the barrel lens. They look like they’re famous as if they were members of a rock band. And, the photo of Meg where her eyes look absolutely beautiful. And last but not least, that little flower girl is simply adorable! Where did you ever find her???? I think she loved watching the girls getting ready, especially her cousin Meg putting on her dress. Little did she know that it takes that many people to get a bride ready. However, what I think Gabby will remember the most is dropping those pedals so perfectly and riding in the “limbosine”. The bridesmaids were all so good to her. Thanks to all of you and to Mark and Katelyn for a job well done!
Joe - Beautiful photos, Mark.
