Meegan and Mike met through mutual friends and connected over their love of books, and their never ending conversation quickly led to them falling for each other. Their wedding at Gardener Ranch felt a bit like a midsummer night’s dream, with Alison Events and Natalie Bowen Designs creating a magical, romantic atmosphere full of whimsical, garden-like details. Meegan effortlessly pulled off old Hollywood glamour, looking absolutely stunning in her fitted lace sheath gown.

Family is incredibly important to both Meegan and Mike, and they reserved the venue for the entire weekend to spend meaningful time with everyone they love most. There were countless fleeting moments that communicated the closeness between the couple and their guests, but my favorites include Meegan’s bridesmaids holding back her unruly veil, Meegan and her mom holding hands, and Mike taking a moment to sit with his parents on the ceremony benches. I’ll always remember the looks on Meegan and Mike’s faces when they entered the reception and saw all of their guests waiting to celebrate them. They were so blissfully happy in that moment, and their love brought so much laughter, happy tears, and joy to the event.
