My first meeting with Michael & Megan consisted of 3 things: laughing, smart ass jokes & talking about love. In that order. It was quite possibly my favorite skype chat of all time.
Needless to say I adore these two. They are smart, funny, endlessly creative, highly musical and most importantly down to earth. These are my kind of people. Being that they live a bit south in California right now for their respective musical education programs I was eager to meet this wonderful couple in person. Finally just a few short weeks ago we were able to put together a time to chat, have coffee & take some fun engagement photos. We had a great time strolling around the tiny town of St. Paul Oregon. We talked about music, weddings, practical jokes & love. I got to hear about their frozen but magical engagement. How they both grew up, and about plans for the big day.
Here are a few of my many favorites from our time together.
Blue Steele/Magnum!
Michael & Megan thanks again for making the trip north. It was wonderful to get to know you guys. I am so looking forward to capturing your big day for you. As always new clients are subject to blog challenges. If you can get 30 people to comment on this post I will throw in an 11×14 on the house. SO leave some love people!

I am so glad Meg and Michael found you and i see there are 30 comments so, since I’m the mom (well, Megan’s mom), I’m glad you want to give them some free stuff, but I’m excited to meet you too and looking forward to more beautiful photos.
