There are some weddings that really stand out to you, and Megan & Michael’s was one of them. When ever we get to work with a Dalton family, it’s always so wonderful, and this was no exception. I loved Megan’s mix of classic elegance with vintage influence. I really want her wedding dress…it was was one of the most beautiful one’s I’ve ever seen…and everything else was equally stunning.<\/p>\n

It was a special day, one that we were honored to document. After makeup, hair, and the guys playing water sports and the bride’s family home, we headed to St. Joseph’s Catholic Church<\/a> and then to the Dalton Country Club<\/a> for quite a fabulous party.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Megan and Michael – thank you for asking us to be a part of your wedding!<\/p>\n

What did you enjoy most about planning your wedding?<\/em><\/p>\n

I (Megan) loved spending time with my Mom. She had a huge part in planning the wedding, and I am so grateful that we shared this experience. Also, Mike and I did a lot of planning\/running errands during the final weeks before our wedding. Since we had lived in different cities all of last year, we had so much fun just being together and knowing we would get to be together forever. We had a great time putting the final touches our on big day.<\/p>\n

What was the most memorable moment about your wedding day?<\/em><\/p>\n

The most memorable moment for the both of us was our kiss. We were so incredibly happy to be married. If anyone was there, they know we actually kissed 4 times- We were just so happy and didn’t want the moment to end.<\/p>\n

How did you decide on your dress?<\/em><\/p>\n

I absolutely loved my dress. I took several trips to go wedding dress shopping. My first trip was in Nashville, TN with my Mom and Grandmother. I tried on a lot of dresses at the very first store, but nothing stood out until we were about to leave. I noticed a dress that another girl was trying on. We didn’t know how much longer we would have to wait to get a good look at it, so I just decided it probably wasn’t the one, and we moved on to the next store. Turns out it was the one! I spent the next few weeks trying on hundreds of dresses, and my mind kept going back to the one at the first shop. I finally found the dress in Chattanooga, and it was everything and more that I hoped it would be. It definitely fit in with the romantic and vintage look I was going for with our wedding, and I felt beautiful on the big day.<\/p>\n

What was your favorite detail of the wedding?<\/em><\/p>\n

We loved all the yellow. We thought yellow would be perfect to represent our happiness and bright outlook on life. I loved seeing yellow in the flowers in the church, bridesmaid dresses, bouquets, boutonnieres and centerpieces.<\/p>\n

What are three words you would use to describe your day?<\/em><\/p>\n

What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future?<\/em><\/p>\n

Mike and I just moved up to St. Louis, MO. Mike is teaching 7th, 8th and 9th grades at an all boys, Catholic school. Megan recently learned that she passed the Missouri Bar and started a public service fellowship working with the St. Louis Public Schools district. We love living in the city and look forward to growing as a couple and starting a family in the next few years.<\/p>\n
