Surprise Engagment Part 1

Typically Maggie and I will get a phone call or an email from a bride after she has some bling on that very important finger. However, we recently actually had the opportunity of helping in the planning of how to pop the question. Its not everyday that we get to help in the planning of popping the question with the exception of planning my proposal to Maggie this was going to be a rare experience. Well, after going back and forth on a few ideas Jonathan (the guy popping the question) decided on creating a photo album.
Okay, lets step back a minute and explain why this idea was so perfect for them. Well, his soon to be fiancé Beth, every year makes him a photo album of everything they have done together for the year. How cool is that? So, the plan was that Jonathan was going to have all the moments prior to asking Beth to marry him photographed and put into a photo album with the last page being...you guessed it. Will you marry me!! But there was another twist we were not going to take a picture of the actual ring at all so that it would be a surprise after she finished looking through the album. So, check out a sneak peak of Jonathan getting ready for the big moment.



Beth is going to be presented with a beautifully custom designed ring and we had the privilege of going with Jonathan when he went to pick it up.

You have to show the siblings the bling. Here is Jonathan showing Beth's brother and sister-in-law the beautiful ring!

Nick & Meg tie the knot

We love a little back yard wedding, Well this was a back yard wedding but not a small yard. It was kinda on a farm :) Which was so awesome. So let's back track a bit with a kind of funny story. A while back I got a email from Meg while she was in London. Now at the time there were lots of spam/scam emails going around about weddings from people in the UK. The email seemed sincere and had a phone number...... so I called it :) Her dad answered and the rest is history.

I am glad I called because meeting Nick & Meg was awesome. They are such a sweet couple and we are totally blessed with the people we meet, through our photography.

Meg is originally from the good ole USA and Nick is from London. It all started with a stare from across the bar. Now they are married and living happily ever after in London.

These guys are serious Zombie fans. They even dress up and do Zombie Pub crawls... How cool is that?

Nick's Dad was super fun, every time he saw me he would do something crazy like this. Love when people are themselves around us :) That's what we LOVE!!

So if having the wedding in the backyard of an awesome house with a farm attached wasn't enough, Meg arrived with some serious horse power ;)

Look at these love birds.... Come on.... How lovely :)

Time to party!!!

Peek-a-boo

A little bit of plowed farm land. Look at that sky... can you believe everyone was worried about rain...lol

Raw Horse Power

Love is in the Air...

Told you they love zombies :)

A big thank you to Nick & Me for letting be apart of their wedding!!

Nick & Meg get hitched....

How did they meet?
Nick and Meg randomly met in December 2007.  Nick was in New York City visiting an old friend from school. That night Nick's friend's friend got a call inviting him to a party in Brooklyn. Deciding to give Brooklyn a shot, the three boys ventured across the East River to the Radegast Hall & Biergarten.  Not long after arriving, Nick spotted Meg across the group with a pitcher of German beer.  They started talking and immediately hit it off.  The rest, as they say, is history!

How did he pop the question?
Due to UK visa restrictions in 2010, Meg was unable to return home for Christmas that year, therefore the whole family arranged to hold another "Christmas" in April 2011.  With the Christmas tree still looking surprisingly healthy from December, the family gathered in the living room unwrapping presents that Christmas morning.  Once the last present was opened, Nick said he had one more and got down on one knee in front of Meg and the 10 other family members and asked for her hand in marriage. Needless to say, Meg said yes!

The wedding was held at Meg's parents house under the stars in a beautiful tent. The Barn was next to the tent with a full service bar. They had an amazing group and the best time ever!!!

So with out further ado here are some of the awesome photos ;)
