Calvin and Megen: wedding!! :D {conway, ar wedding photographer}

November 29, 2013

Last week Katie (of Katie Opris photography) blogged her images from Calvin and Megen’s wedding day (if you haven’t looked at them yet, go now and see!) and now I’m blogging mine :D.
It was a cool and foggy morning, but it was warm and happy inside where Megen was getting her hair done 😀
Texting her man :).
Here’s the precious Kaite I second shot for :D. Thanks again for having me assist you!
You see that black bag? I have one just like it…and I forgot it…along with my toothbrush, toothpaste (I call myself a dentist’s daughter? Haha), and facial stuff; that hardly ever happens. lol. Anyway, back to the day ;).
Megen’s dad gave her mom that sapphire ring when Megen was born: isn’t that so sweet?! I love it; it’s a beautiful ring :). Her engagement ring is pretty awesome too ;).
If you haven’t already noticed, Megen is completely gorgeous. I had a hay day taking pictures of her along with everyone she loves :).
And she has the cutest grins :D.
Yeah, her flowers were fantastic.
Megen and her coordinator who is also a dear family friend :D.
😀
She made such a stunning bride; I kept telling her I was freaking out because she looked so amazing. Haha.
This is Megen’s mom Mrs. Cathey Lagree; she’s such a happy person :D.
Haha :D.
She was all dressed up and ready to go see Calvin!
Calvin is so gentle with her; it makes me happy :). I’ve known Calvin and his family most of my life, by the way. I met Megen at a family Bible camp 3 years ago (which is the same camp THEY met at and started liking each other; it was adorable because it was so obvious Calvin was struck by her from the start :D. I’m pretty sure she noticed him too 😉 ).
😀
Watching them laugh together is the best :D.
😀
Hehe 😀
We were just in downtown Conway by the “Popeye’s” and it was awesome :).
Looove 😀

 

 

Katie: “Now, don’t smoosh when you kiss ’cause it doesn’t look good in pictures. Just lightly kiss.”
They acted on her words and did perfectly 🙂

 

Calvin, you have a rare beauty and just a cool girl. I know you know that :).
Yay 😀
They’re happy together 😀
It was time to go back to the place by the church building and I thought I’d snag a picture of Calvin and Megen in the backseat before we drove off…but it focused on Katie instead. Haha :D. Katie found a cool wooden headboard in the grass and was putting it in the back.
Niiiiice, y’all.
😀
Calvin’s guys came on over ready for the wedding party pictures coming up :).
Cute.
And there’s Megen’s girls! 🙂
Hehe 😀
😀
Their wedding colors were so pretty. They looked great.
This is one of Calvin’s sisters and also Megen’s friend: Ginger Hargrave :D.
And this is another sister of Calvin’s (Ginger’s twin actually) and Megen’s friend as well: Letha Johnson :D.
And this is Megen’s maid of honor and friend: Rachel Riggan :D.
And last, but not least, this is one of Megen’s cousins: Ashlee Hightower :D.
And here’s Jesse Barr (one of Calvin’s older brothers) and Ben Lemoine (one of Calvin’s brother in laws).
And then we finish with his long time friends John and Job Champagne (Job was his best man).
Calvin had great guys to stand up with him :).
Haha
These girls were fun 😀
And beautiful!
Me: “Y’all can just look at each other and be like ‘heeey!’Them: “Heeeey!”
Mission accomplished. Haha 😀
Their classic picture faces. Haha.
Ginger, your idea from Pinterest was fun. Perfect for y’all. Hehe :D.
Katie doing her work :).
Haha :D.
Hehe, cuuute :D.
Also if you haven’t noticed, this place was so neat for pictures.
The wedding party pictures were done and while we waited around for the family to gather for family portraits, I had to see the batman socks I had heard about. Haha!
Megen’s three brothers (Landon, Jordan, and Collin [that’s not age order, that’s feet order here. lol]) got these socks at K-mart and were very proud of them. But hey! They had a right to be! They had capes! Haha.
Family arrived and pictures began :).

They really wanted pictures with a shotgun. Haha.

Had to get the capes flying in the wind. Hehe :).

John and his beautiful wife Elizabeth who is also my friend :D.
Garter toss! P.S. right before this, they had the bouquet toss. Megen told me I had to get out there, so I did and I caught it! Yay! Well, more like dove for it after it hit the ceiling and fell right behind Megen. Haha.
 
Collin got it! But judging by the other guys ducking and holding their hands, I think they made him get it. lol.
 

 
 
Jeff and little Christian preceded the bride and groom. Haha :D.
There they are :).
 
Megen was surprised by…
…little Christian in the driver’s seat. Hahaha :D.
 
 
 
 
 
 
And I think someone meant to say “Schmack.” Haha. Congratulations, y’all! Happy married life!
 
 
 
 
Everyone continued to have fun with the bubbles :D.
The day was so fun, beautiful, and just felt good :). Hooray :).And happy Thanksgiving, everybody!With a smile,
