Meg & Joe

    |    Posted by Becca on November 21st, 2009    |    wedding life

I love my first memory of meeting Meg and Joe in person.  Meg was talking about how Joe is always “this happy”- as happy as he was- huge glowing smile from ear to ear as if he had just won something.  She obviously fell in love with that characteristic.  So I asked Joe what that was all about…, “Were you raised to look at the positive?” Joe thought for a quick second…”ain’t nothin to be sad about”, he said.  Huge smile again, and we all laughed.

These two astounded me again and again in similar situations.  One of Meg’s best friends, a bridesmaid, was brutally sick with pneumonia, and flew from her home in England to be here, only to have to fly back because she was so sick.  Meg wasn’t phased on her wedding day.  She hugged her dear friend with all her might as she said goodbye, and gladly welcomed her cousin in as a bridesmaid to take her ill friend’s place.

I could tell you many more anecdotes about these two, but I know that what you really want to see is pictures, so please enjoy this sneak peek of Meg and Joe’s Chicago wedding!

Joe surprised Meg with the penthouse at the W.  On the way up they chatted with a lady that had just come from a swanky party downstairs.

My sweet Becca, I mean seriously, you were sick as all get out this day & you can’t even tell!!! There are so many beautfiul moments captured and DANG those clouds! Ugh, I cannot get over how cool the wedding party picture is. And the city view, and the train shots, and Joe’s face dancing. He’s my favorite. Also, I want to take a cab ride after my wedding just so I can have pictures like that. Mmmm, so good.

Outstanding pictures. A pity we live in Australia as I would certainly commission you to do the photo’s of our daughter’s weddings (when and if they find the right men!!!) You have captured so much love and emotion. You are certainly a star, thank you for forwarding these magic moments to us
