{Megan & Joel @ The Lange Farm}

May 1, 2013 Carrie Wildes

I honestly don't think there are nicer people, more deserving of a happy life together than Megan and Joel. Megan is an ER nurse, and Joel is a fireman. They met while Megan was on a ride along. When I first met with them Megan, she told me how important their wedding photography was to them, and that she felt that prints and albums are a lost art that she absolutely wanted. I need to do a video with them because that is exactly what I say! She was a little worried about the getting ready pictures because they couldn't get ready at a beautiful, ornate hotel because she wanted to be close the the Lange Farm. This year I've been playing a lot with off camera flash especially during getting ready time and I think it turned out pretty awesome! The boys had WAY too much fun, finding frogs, goofing around, and there might have been an incident where someone fell off a swing although not totally confirmed:-) I love the moment they saw each other before the ceremony, their joy was indescribable. The girls deep blue dresses and blue roses looked amazing. There was also a very friendly horse that was happy to be in some pictures. I love what Pastor Gary said during the ceremony, he said, "in marriage, think we before I" and it is so true. Megan surprised Joel with a fire helmet groom's cake, which didn't get cut so I hope they got to enjoy it! Megan's cousin has cancer, and something I thought was really awesome is they did the dollar dance, but all of the dollars went to benefit him and help with medical bills. Megan changed into a fun short dress and cowboy boots to party it down! I am so blessed to be able to "work" with such amazing people and am so thankful. Congrats you guys!!! xoxoxo
