Heartland Photography: Emporia State University

Nov. 1 was a brisk day in Emporia, but Meghan + Brock's wedding ... but the warmth of this couple toward everyone around them ... their desire to celebrate and honor each of their guests ... made this one of the most beautiful weddings to date!

Hair & Makeup began at Bravo Salon.

There was a TON of bling on her wedding shoes!

The couple opted for a First Look as part of their wedding photography. These first few moments when a couple sees one another on their wedding day are so special.

The fall colors provided some nice background.

The groomsmen busted into the rehearsal dinner sporting Lego costumes ... and along came the heads for a few casual pictures.

There were so, so, so many amazing details! Meghan is the third generation in her family to walk down the aisle carrying this Bible. The hankie & her garter were both made from her mom's wedding dress (love!).

:) As parents, this photo makes us giggle. It's just live with a little one. But she made it down the aisle!

Inside the ballroom, the ceremony was beautiful!

A quick hello to every single guest was such a personal touch.

The First Dances were so sweet!

The first night Meghan + Brock met, a pushup contest followed. I think Meghan won that one. Well, during the reception, a rematch ensued. Yes, the bride was IN HER WEDDING DRESS for this competition. Anyone want to guess how many pushups were completed? 30+. Yes, I said THIRTY. It was pretty intense. Brock finally prevailed, and afterward, he quipped "I thought she'd make me do a dozen or a few more ... but not nearly 3 dozen."

Yes, the Lego heads strike again. ;)

Emporia State University has a beautiful campus .... The Memorial Union is so pretty at dusk.

A final and GIGANTIC thank you to Kathryn from Everyday You Photography, who assisted me with this wedding. It's always fun to shoot with you, girl! :)
