Megan and Larry’s Wedding
May 22nd brought about a wedding — Megan and Larry’s Wedding! We, the ladies at Ever After Visuals, had long anticipated this day! We expected the day to be fun, but Megan and Larry’s Wedding was so much more than that . . .
The day started off at 950 North Stafford Street, the location for the Hilton in Arlington, Virginia. It is truly a unique place to get married with lots of hidden areas to get some awesome images in! I had so much fun with Megan and her bridesmaids, while Mindy had a blast with Larry and his groomsmen.
It’s amazing how sometimes you can just tell that two people are a perfect fit for each other. When we first met Megan and Larry in Northern Virginia, as they came in and chatted with us about their wedding plans, we just knew. Now, they’re a family. As the vows were said and rings were exchanged, we quietly document the elation that spread across faces of the two families that were joining together, becoming one.
There are certain moments that you see as a wedding photographer that take your breath away, and that never cease to amaze me. After meeting countless couples and photographing many, many weddings I am still amazed. After the wedding, everyone was immediately ushered to the back room of the church. Megan and Larry didn’t have to say a word. They simply put their noses together and looked into each others eyes. If you had to pick one moment in time that could encapsulate the love of this couple, it was then…
The reception was also held at the Hilton in Arlington. The night started off with Irish melodies floating through the air. As the new couple entered, they did their first dance. Has anyone here seen “The Princess Bride”? I have to say that it’s an awesome movie, and if you had been there at Megan and Larry’s Wedding, you would have appreciated it even more as the song the chose to dance to was from that movie. Later, the Priest surprised us all when he sang an old Irish love song especially for Megan and Larry. Next came the dances. Both Mindy and myself caught ourselves tearing up during the father-daughter dance which ended with Megan’s dad saying, “I love you so very much” — how can you not feel a little tug in your heart when you hear that?!?!
The rest of the night was filled with love, laughter, dancing and hula hoops . . . yes, hula hoops! Needless to say, Megan and Larry, your wedding rocked!! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it. We wish you all the happiness possible!
We also had a great time with Megan and Larry at Glen Echo Park for their engagement shoot. Check it out here.
