Their online profiles connected them as Meghan and Jeff shared interests in faith, loving the outdoors, and camping. After chatting a bit online, the two decided to meet in between the Cities and LaCrosse to go on their first date. Being that Meghan was an active bow hunter got Jeff (an engineer of bows) interested right away, they hit it off and began dating long distance.
When Meghan decided to take a much needed trip up to Canada to visit a close friend, Jeff decided it would be the perfect place to propose. He worked with Megan’s friend to coordinate where she would be and when to meet her. Midway through her hike, Meghan was taken off guard when her beloved Jeff stood in a clearing, down on one knee, ring in hand and asked her to be his wife! With a resounding yes the two, celebrated together and began planning.
Their beautiful June wedding day took place on the campus of the University of Northwestern in St. Paul. Because both Meghan and Jeff love being outside, we planned all their photos on the lush greens of the campus with the brick architecture as a backdrop. Rain was forecasted to fall all day, but Meghan and Jeff along with their incredibly fun wedding party, were able to get photos outside on the lawn and near the lake just in between the raindrops falling, and we even got a full hour of sunlight and a beautiful sunset to end the evening
Meghan’s white elegant lace dress from The Wedding Shoppe was stunning against Jeff’s grey Michale Kors suit from Savvy Formalware. The beautiful June blossoms from The Flower Petalers that Meghan and her bridesmaids held added a touch pinks and whites their periwinkle dresses that the bridesmaids wore from Weddington Way. The staff at Cole’s Salon in Eagan did a fantastic job of hair and make up for both Meghan and her bridesmaids.
Family and friends came from all over Minnesota and Wisconsin and beyond to celebrate Meghan and Jeff as they were wed at Nazareth Chapel on the campus of the University of Northwestern.
Meghan’s beautiful ring from Ritani added a pop of bling when paired with her simple, but elegant Vista Print invitations.
Bon Appetit provided an incredible meal for guests as they enjoyed a night of music and dance from Beautiful Day Dj’s in the Blue Room.
Meghan and Jeff, it was an honor to spend your wedding day with you, thank you for making me feel like a long time friend, and for an incredible day.
