Megan | Tuckahoe Plantation Bridal Portrait Photographer

You remember the GORGEOUS John Marshall Hotel wedding Paul and Megan celebrated last month … gosh, I cannot believe it has already been a month! And really, I cannot believe that we are just days away from 2014! Before I know it, I’ll be starting to think about 2015 brides! WOW!

Needless to say that I was SO excited to photograph the beautiful Megan at the Tuckahoe Plantation! It was my first time there and oh my gosh … I am determined to go back for another session!!! It. is. amazing! So many awesome locations to choose from and with Megan and her mom by my side made this trip SO worth while! I walked away from her session feeling in awe from the evening! It could not have been more fun and beautiful! We may have had an attack by crickets, lol! She stuck it out the entire way through the obstacles of mud and of course the crickets. This girl has a heart of gold and I absolutely LOVED seeing her beautiful relationship with her dear mother. I can totally see where Megan gets her sweetness! Even seeing her sister and father at the wedding … the entire family is as sweet as can be!!! It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know all of them and the beauty that shines from the inside-out!

Thank you Megan and to your mother for a wonderful bridal session! I’m so thrilled to be sharing this with everyone today!!! Enjoy the preview! xoxo
