It will be hard to find words to describe the joy and peace that enveloped the entire day of Max and Meagan’s wedding.  These childhood sweethearts, together since 7th grade, were very obviously overjoyed about marrying each other.  They married on a Sunday and choose Kansas City’s historic The Loretto for both the ceremony and the reception.  The Loretto is listed on the National Historic Registry and was once a Catholic girl’s boarding school.  It is a venue rich with, not just history, but elegance and amazing light!   It provided a beautiful backdrop to Meagan’s overwhelming beauty.   Meagan was a stunning bride.

The day went off without a single hitch.  When the moment finally arrived that Meagan stepped out that door to walk down the aisle to Max, there couldn’t have been bigger smiles and more love.  Well, actually, I take that back.  There were bigger smiles…when they were announced “husband and wife” and walked down the aisle together as Mr. and Mrs. Khatthaname!  Quite honestly, they looked as though they could explode with happiness.

Max and Meagan are very skilled swing dancers with a crew of swing dancing friends; so their reception dance floor was full of twirling, swinging young people having the time of their lives.  There came a point when Meagan was ready to change out of her wedding dress into a dress for some serious swing dancing.  What a really fun reception to shoot.

I have been blessed to know Meagan’s family since we first moved to Kansas 11 years ago and have had some of the best and most profound times of my life with her sisters as their youth pastor.  It was so special to be behind the scenes with this awesome family for this most important day in their lives.  I count it just one more blessing in my life since knowing this family.    Max and Meagan, from the bottom of my heart I thank you for choosing me to be your wedding photographer.  It was an honor and privilege to be intimately involved in capturing your love; from your awesome engagement session to this day.  I know that God will bless your marriage with joy, happiness and peace as you seek to walk out your new life together to serve Him and bring Him glory.

The gorgeous bride getting ready.

There is always a lot of laughter with this family.

I wish that you could see the picture on the right bigger because it would melt your heart!

Meagan had a wonderful friend do her hair and makeup.  She did a fab job.

Seriously, could their be cuter kiddos in the entire world?

The moment has finally arrived!

The love between them was so palpable; like there was no one else in the room.

Isn’t The Loretto’s chapel gorgeous?

Meagan’s dad took a moment to share some words with Max at the altar.  They must have been good ones by the smile on Max’s face.

We do!  We did!!!!!

The first moments after walking down the isle.  Love it!

Check out Meagan’s new family in the bottom right picture.  She has a lot of new relatives!

Beautiful bride and beautiful bridesmaids!

Handsome groom and handsome groomsmen!

The details.

Her gorgeous dress looks even more gorgeous in The Loretto’s entry way.

Can I just be the first to say….WOW!   Meagan you are stunning!!!

I love these images with all my heart!

The reception begins…..

They were so sweet and tender with the cake and the toasts were so touching.

I will never listen to Colbie Cailat’s “Lucky” without thinking of Max and Meagan.

Let the dancing commence!

Not sure when this kiss happened, but I am so glad I caught it!

Bet you can’t guess what song this was?  lol

Meagan and Max changed so that they could really cut the rug; and cut it they did!

My last picture of the night was the one on the right.  It was a great shot to end on, don’t you think?
