Megan & Ian :: Engaged!

Megan & Ian met each other through friends and found a common interest in England. For Megan, Ian served as the go to man for her previously planned trip to England shortly after she met Ian. For Ian, England is home. (Yes, British accent and all.) So it must have been fate that these two found each other. And, now, a couple years later, fate has brought them to planning their oceanside wedding in Phippsburg, Maine at Megan's family camp. According to Ian, the camp is just an "awful" perk of being with his beloved bride. The gorgeous location right on the ocean is just downright "Maine". In one word: perfect!

Like many of my amazing couples, Megan & Ian found me thanks to another couple's wedding I photographed (thanks, Jen & Jared!) and it took a phone call for Megan to snatch me up for their August wedding before anyone else had the chance. Before the big day arrives, we got together at the site of their upcoming nuptials to explore and, more importantly, capture some photographs of the two (and their two furry babies). The weather was absolutely gorgeous with a cool breeze coming off the water. (Dear Mother Nature, please replicate said conditions next August. Thank you!) Megan couldn't stop smiling the whole time. And Ian just couldn't take his eyes off of her (awww!). They told me of how they met, of how Ian's advice for places to visit in the UK were quickly derailed by a stop in Oxford (yay pubs!), and we chatted about babies (Megan works with young family and, well, I have Bri!). We laughed together, walked through stinky seaweed, and got slobbered on by puppies. To say that next August can't come soon enough is an understatement. I can't wait to spend the day with them again!

Here is a sneak peek of whats to come for these love birds. To check out their sneak peek gallery over on Facebook, click here! And keep an eye out for their full gallery of images to be posted on my website shortly.
