“we’re dancing in the minefields,
sailing through the storm…
He’s promised not to leave us,
and His promises are true.
so in the face of all this chaos, baby
i can dance with you.”
– andrew peterson
i can’t even believe our last wedding of 2016 has come and gone, and WHEW what a way to end! i knew this day would be spectacular… when you combine shadow creek + laura dee events + event studio + an incredible couple like megan and ben, i knew it would be the perfect way to end the season! winter weddings are quickly becoming some of my most favorite to photograph, there’s just an extra dose of magic that comes with them :) happy viewing, friends!
kelley, you completely outdid yourself with the florals and event design! megan said a dozen times that morning how giddy she was with the bouquets, and i couldn’t agree more! 
love this shot katie grabbed of ben and megan’s sweet mommas!
i loved all the gorgeous details on megan’s gown!
aren’t those pops of blue in the bouquets the best?! love love LOVE!
i could have taken bridal portraits of this beautiful lady ALL. DAY. LONG. seriously megan, you are such a stunning bride! 
too cold to be outside? no problem at all, the inside space at shadow creek is just as gorgeous as the outside one!
my favorite part of this image? megan’s momma with her hands up cheering over on the left side ;) 
i think this driveway was MADE for bridal portraits ;) 
kay from shugar shugar did a fantastic job with their gorgeous, classic cake!
yummmm my favorite kind of favor at the end of the night! :) 
and of course, my two favorite photos of the night :)
