Jared + Megan | Oak Hill Wedding Galena, IL | Forever Dear Photography

I was lucky enough to accompany Krystal Muellenberg Photography to this wedding a couple of weeks ago as her second shooter. To see this gorgeous wedding through her eyes, click HERE. (Be sure to check it out, Krystal is one of my all time favorite photographers, a super sweet friend, and a huge inspiration to me. Her interpretation of this wedding is fabulous!)

I’m not sure I can adequately put into words just how amazing Megan and Jared’s wedding day was. As soon as we stepped out of the car I just KNEW it was going to be great. Jared came to greet us and the first words out of his mouth were “…this is all for Megan, make it all about her.” They had this energy about them…it was contagious. And they were SO IN LOVE. I mean, everybody is in love on their wedding day, right? But these two took it above and beyond. I left that day feeling SO inspired.

I can’t talk about this wedding without bringing up their super sweet vows. Can I use the word amazing again? Because they were. I normally tear up a little at one point or another at every wedding, but these two had me in tears. Their words to each other were so heartfelt, genuine, raw and real. 2014-11-03_0027.jpg
