Here's Megan + Keagan’s Amazing Day! They Are So Kind, Refreshingly Genuine, And A Lot Of Fun To Be Around. I Met Up With Megan And Keagan At Their Hotel For Getting Ready Photos Prior To The Wedding. This Is Something That I Really Believe Is Important To Capture On Your Wedding Day. It Helps Tell The Full Story Of Your Day From The Beginning, You Get Some Great Photos, Plus We Get To Hang Out Even More ;) after Getting Dolled Up And Toasting With Some Yummy Champagne, It Was Time To Get These Two Married! We Headed To The Doyle, Which Is One Of My Favorite Wedding Venues. The Space Is Modern And Can Really Be Transformed Into Anything You Can Dream Of! Since Megan + Keagan Were Having A Micro Wedding, Small Ceremony And A Cake & Champagne Celebration With Their 20+ Guests, I Was Surprised To See How Intimate & Cozy The Set Up Turned Out In That Large Space. It Was Perfection! another Reason Why The Doyle Is One Of My Favorite Wedding Venues Is That They Have Llamas. Like, Really Adorable Llamas That I Want To Take Home With Me Every Time! I Mean, Just Look! Who Wouldn’t Want These Guys As Wedding Guests ;)

Woodward Park Is An Excellent Place For Couples To Showcase Their Love. This Park Has Been A Favorite Destination For Tulsans For More Than A Century, And Is Known For Its Beauty And Its History!

For Ages It's Been Said To Be Bad Luck For The Groom To See The Bride Before She Walks Down The Aisle.according To Bridal Guide, This Superstition Dates Back To The Days Of Arranged Marriages, When The Father Of The Bride Was Afraid The Well-off Groom Would Find His New Wife (whom He'd Never Seen Before) Unattractive, And Back Out Of The Deal. This Leaves The Bride's Family In Shame, And Forced To Forgo Any Ideas Of Turning The Bride's Old Bedroom Into A Man Cave For Dad.the Veil Assisted In This Mission Of Keeping The Groom In Suspense Of His Bride's Beauty, Or Lack Thereof.gone Are These Days, At Least In America, And Yet Many Couples Still Hold Fast To This Tradition. But Why? Those Who Feel Strongly In Favor Argue That The Special Moment Is Spoiled When The Groom Has Already Seen The Bride In Her Dress. It Is Believed That Any Emotion He Might Show, Such As Tears, Will Not Occur If He Has Seen Her Earlier That Day. However, Most Wedding Photographers And Many Others Argue That The Moment Is Not Lost, But Instead Just As Beautiful, And More Easily Captured.for Those Who Aren't Familiar, A First Look Is When A Couple About To Be Married See Each Other For The First Time In Their Wedding Clothes, Hair, And Makeup. While Some Couples Opt To Have A Photo Session For This Purpose On A Different Day, This Typically Happens A Few Short Hours Before The Wedding Ceremony. Generally The Groom Is Blindfolded Or Faced Away And Is Turned Around To View His Bride After Not Having Seen Her All Day. This Is An Intimate Moment Between The Couple With The Photographer And, If You Have One, Videographer, Capturing From The Sidelines. The Couple May Also Choose To Have The Bridal Party Present During This Time.however, Many Brides, And Grooms, Feel Strongly Against Seeing Each Other Prior To Here Comes The Bride.here Are A Few Of The Reasons Why I Believe You Should Seriously Give The Idea Of A First Look A Chance.

Are You Recently Engaged And Have Been Scouring Both Instagram And Pinterest For Wedding Inspiration? Overwhelmed With All The Different Options For Photography? Take A Deep Breath! Here Are 5 Helpful Hints To Pick The Best Wedding Photographer For You.1. Make Sure Their Style Matches Yours.most Likely, You Have Already Viewed Their Gallery Before Reaching Out. At Its Core, Photography Is Art. Therefore, Every Wedding Photographer Has Their Own Style. Do You Want A Photographer That Only Does Staged Poses Or Do You Prefer One That Captures Your Candid Moments? Maybe You Prefer A Little Bit Of Both? There Is No Right Answer To This Question! Take Some Time To Think About What You Want Out Of The Photography Experience And Ensure That Matches With The Photographer. 2. Schedule A Call Or Meeting And Get To Know Them!the Best Way To Find Out If You Vibe With A Photographer Is Talking To Them. Most Photographers, Including Myself, Will Schedule Some Time To Learn About Your Needs And Your Wedding Story. Chatting Over A A Cup Of Coffee, Some Drinks Or Even A Zoom Call Will Dramatically Help In Your Decision To See If He Or She Is The Right Photographer For You!3. Ensure They Use Contracts.reviewing And Signing A Contract Can Be Very Intimidating At First. All Of Your Vendors Should Have One, Especially Your Photographer! The Contract Is There To Protect Both Sides, Especially You. The Main Details Covered Will Be The Cost Of The Services, Expectations Of Both Sides In Case Of Any Emergency, Copyright Around Sharing The Photos And Schedule Of Deliverables. There Will Be Other Topics Covered But These Are The Main Points You Ensure Are Included.

If You Are Someone That Loves The Wintertime, This Could Be The Right Session For You To Get Married. Katherine & Matt’s Wedding Was In January, And The Temperature Was A Brisk 33° At The Day Of Their Wedding. The Snow Was Covering Some Portions Of Patio Area Outside Ivy House Where The Wedding Took Place. I Believe That Snow And An Overcast Winter Day Could Add A Magical Touch To The Photos, With The Reflection Of The Snow Creating Nicely Lit And Soft Portraits. While The Bride & Groom Might Have A Few Uncomfortable Or Chilly Minutes, It’s Well Worth It To Capture All The Beauty That This Session Has To Offer. Katherine & Matt’s Outdoor Session Was Not Done All At Once. The Couples Were Taking Breaks Every Few Mins To Warm Up. The Ivy House Is A Green Brick, Modern Industrial Space. The Entrance Has A Beautiful Iron Gate, The Back All Y Has An Urban, Rustic Look, With Great Wall Textures And Multiple Color Bricks. The Bride Gets To Have A Wonderful, Rustic Room That Is Full Of Charming Architectural Details To Get Ready. This Location Offers Great Options And Backdrops For Pictures
