Teacher marries Farmer. Columbus Wedding Photography

Megan and Rob.  Married.columbus_photography-2

Megan and Rob were married in a small town church and had a HUGE reception with 400+ guests at Robbie’s parents farm.  The details to make the family barn look like a warm wedding location were AMAZING!  A church pew to hold the gifts.  Great idea!columbus_photography-3columbus_photography-4

Um, yes, THAT is a beer truck! At a wedding reception!

This is right before the first dance when an inappropriate song referring to “older women, are beautiful lovers” came on instead of their first dance song.  (By Robbie’s request, that jokester.)  Here’s Megan taking off her wedding band. Ha!

Megan, thank you so very much for thinking of me.  This sweet gift, I will cherish forever.

Megan gifted me a repurposed leather belt bracelet with the very fitting saying, “Capture life’s moments.”   Thank you, thank you, thank you.  For being you.  For being so sweet.  For making us feel like friends and not just a vendor.  We had a wonderful time and were seriously honored to be there.  Wishing you ALL of the happiness in the world.  XO!

Tasha, thank you for always being my right hand girl.  For sweating all day and for carrying all of my heavy stuff (the stuff I don’t wanna carry).  For reading my mind and understanding when I need something before I even ask.  I love you so very much!
