A Fall Wedding at The Westin Chicago Northwest: Meghan & Manny

post filed in:

Wedding

Meghan & Manny got married this past Saturday and I’m so grateful we got to be there to capture it. There were so many fun parts of their wedding day. Cute photos with Meghan in the morning with her bridal squad, “losing” the ring during the ceremony to the incredibly personalized unity ceremony that the couple shared. Each part of the day was beautiful. : ) 

Before jumping into this sneak peek though, I wanted to share just three of my favorite moments. A Watson Wedding tradition. : ) 

#3. Two incredible first dances! As Meghan and her Dad wrapped up their first dance. Irish music began to play and the two surprised guests by doing some Irish dancing together! A node to all the dancing Meghan did growing up. Everyone loved it. : ) 

Followed by the beautiful dance that Meghan & Manny choreographed with a few lifts and dips. Guests clapped and cheered and these two danced together. The chemistry these two scientists share, undeniable. ; ) 

#2. While taking photos of the guys getting ready, I snagged Manny and his son, Issac, for a few photos. Hoping to get a SUPER smile, I asked Issac who his favorite super hero was. Without a moments hesitation, Issac said Dad and pointed right at Manny. : )

#1. The couples first look. I feel like I say it often. These are always special, but getting to capture Manny’s reaction as his Bride walked down the aisle. Truly beautiful.

Meghan & Manny, thank you so much for having us as your wedding photography team! I had a ton of fun with both of you on your wedding day and I just LOVE the final shots that we got. : )
