megan & scott say "i do"

Megan Smith made a beautiful bride on July 2, 2011, when she married the charming Scott Palasik at Raven's Glenn Winery in West Lafayette, Ohio. Like I mentioned in their sneak peek post a while back, this was one of the most sentimental weddings I have ever witnessed.

It was truly a marriage of two families, with touching words shared by all, various tears shed by most, and hugs passed out generously. Even putting this post together brought back sweet memories of their beautiful love story that will definitely outlast the single day of celebration.

Megan & Scott crafted all the details together perfectly, entwining bits of their personalities and their families. We enjoyed the casual, genuine quality of the ceremony and reception. Their excitement and love were SO obvious. Even the weather was perfect—a beautiful, soft cloudcover with the thundering of storms in the distance (never affected us!).

Chad and I had a wonderful time shooting the Palasik wedding together. The Smiths and the Palasiks were all so encouraging and grateful to us. Getting to know them all was inspirational—it felt like God gave us a little glimpse of what our future could look like. How exciting it will be to be a part of so many love stories and celebrations to come! We loved it....and we're both thrilled with how the photos came out. :)

These highlights are the icing on their wedding day cake:
