{Emporia Wedding Photography} Meghan + Brock

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! :)

{Products} Meghan + Brock's Engagement Album/Guest Book

Engagement albums as the wedding guest book are just so darn popular! We love them, as do most of our couples! Meghan + Brock had a stunning B&W image on their cover, so I opted to make it a metallic cover for the book. So pretty!

Because they have so many guests who will be celebrating with them, their book is 10 pages larger than many of our others. We're excited to see it filled with signatures & messages!

{KU Engagement Portraits} Meghan + Brock

Because they met in Lawrence, Meghan and Brock wanted to take their engagement pictures on KU's campus. Despite the rainy days preceding their session, it was beautiful when we met at the Campanile to start their session.

Even though they said they tend to be "a little nervous" in front of the camera, these two are just so comfortable and relaxed with each other .... it's perfection.

A little love by the lake. :)

Just some quiet moments. Love.

We concluded our session with some completely delicious sunlight ... the day could not have been more perfect! We're looking forward to a stunning fall wedding!
