Kansas City Wedding Photography | Allison Marie Photography

They first met back in 2004, and Megan immediately had a crush on this guy named Chris. Because quite a few years separated them in age, Megan didn’t think it could ever really work…despite how much her good friend Lana (who happened to be Chris’ sister!) insisted on talking about Chris all the time and how much he and Megan had in common. Fast forward a whole six years and guess what?! Sometimes sisters have this crazy knack for knowing what’s best! Yep, Chris & Megan hit it off when they went skydiving together! After a few months of getting to know each other, it was clear to both of them that they had found the one.

I love Chris’ answer when I asked him to describe his relationship with Megan: “Our relationship is freaking amazing! We are always laughing and having a great time. We are both laid back individuals, so that makes life pretty grand.” That is just about the perfect description of their wedding day. Lots of laughter, quality time with the people the love, and totally laid back in their Chuck Taylors!

To Mr. and Mrs. Ward: Congratulations you two! You had the sweetest, most God-honoring ceremony and start to your married lives together. I wish you the very best as you establish your lives as Mr. and Mrs.!

(a BIG thank you to Mallory of Avia Photography for helping as my 2nd shooter for the day! It was so GREAT to have your help!!)

Megan, you were absolutely radiant on your wedding day!! I love that Megan tied her grandmother’s wedding rings to her bouquet, and that she used green split peas for decoration!  I will never grow tired of this moment when a bride & groom first see each other on their wedding day. Priceless! I have to say, this is the first time I’ve seen a groom applaud his beautiful bride! Love it! Love this shot below that Mallory captured: I could have photographed them for hours, they were so cute together! But let me tell ya…it got c-o-l-d!!! I love how these two below capture your personalities together! Megan, your dance with your dad was AMAZING! For those of you who weren’t there to experience their humor, they began their father-daughter dance very sweet and formal-like to the song “Butterfly Kisses”, and then little by little her dad broke out into some silliness… …and then the song and party broke out into some crazy whole-family-involved choreographed dancing!! SO FUNNY! Then of course their sweet daddy daughter dance ended with some more butterfly kisses! loved this!! Congratulations again you two!
