Chase & Megan // Wedding // Marco Island, FL

“I think we marry and stay married to the person we do mostly because we cannot imagine life without them. Because no matter what accidents happen, what brain injuries occur, careers sputter, money eludes or disappointments pile up, that person is the one you want to endure with. Fight the good fight with. Wake up to in the morning even after a night of sorrow and confusion. They give you a sense of place, of foundation, of home. The institution that marriage speaks of is real and tangible to you because being married to this person feels like something concrete and physical, a place you want to live in. Because however love may change throughout the years, the way it reinvents itself in each new moment feels as urgent and powerful as the first heady incarnation.”

Tomorrow is valentines day and I wanted to post some of my very favorite valentines: Chase & Megan. They got married on October 31st, 2015 ( a very good day to get married.) Megan is my cousin, and when she asked me to photograph their wedding, I was ecstatic! I was incredibly honored to be asked and I am still in shock over it.Their wedding was at the beautiful Marco Island Marriott Resort & Spa. This resort was incredible and we may have eaten some of the best food we’ve ever had while there!  But even better than the resort was the amazing people there to experience it with. They are seriously the most welcoming people you’ll ever meet…the entire weekend Megan & Chase, my aunt & uncle, and Chase’s parents continued to be such gracious hosts. 

Megan & Chase’s wedding was one of those days that left you feeling excited about life and thankful for family. The day was incredibly relaxed and you could really tell that they were ready for marriage. Ready to start a life together. Their vows truly solidified that fact..I don’t think I’ve ever heard such moving vows. Vows that were so true to who they are as people and how they felt about each other. It was so amazing to experience those precious moments. 

Megan & Chase, I love you guys and I wish you the very best in your marriage. You are both incredible people and I’m so happy for you.
