meghan + ross // red dragon canoe club wedding

There is so, so much that I could tell you about Meghan + Ross. I’ve known them both since high school, so pretty much forever, and they’re both two of the best people you could know. Ross is incredibly laid back, he’s literally on island time. And Meghan is the funniest, spunkiest little firecracker you’ll ever meet. She’s quick with a joke, a laugh and a smile. Everything about her is authentic, and so it makes her company incredibly relaxing.. and hilarious.

These two have known each other since grade school. They both grew up in the same small town, and even though they never officially dated until later in life, they found each other (again) in the end.

Our incredibly beautiful day started with the first look, just a few steps from Ross’s parents’ house..

After that we headed to Ross’s parents’ house for some family formals. Those Frazier’s are a funny bunch!

PUPPIES! This was one of the only photographs in Meghan’s mind. Of course it revolved around her dogs.

Next up, we headed to the yacht club on the edge of our little town. It’s a perfect place.

Another favorite. I saw this glass wall and knew immediately that I needed to photograph them in front of it.

The day was so incredibly perfect. It was supposed to rain all day originally, but it ended up holding off until after the ceremony. It was perfect.

Meghan’s family has a tradition where the Mummers (a Philadelphia staple) come to all their important family events. This is right after her aunt realized they were here.
