I truly had never seen a bride so giddy to see her groom for the first look before a wedding! Megan had a huge smile on her face as she walked up to Brandon to tap him on the shoulder so he could see her for the first time in her wedding dress. Really, ANYtime she was with Brandon that night she had a huge smile across her face! They truly make each other incredibly happy. They met a few years back at a climbing gym, and then Brandon taught Megan how to climb outdoors. Now they do it as much as they can!
They live up in Northern California, but got married at the beautiful Martin Johnson House in San Diego. Southern California, along with one of the worst droughts it has ever seen, is currently fighting off an intense, 1 month long heat wave. Everyone had been hoping for rain or a cool day. The ONE day it was due to rain, was on Megan and Brandon’s wedding day. Maybe it was a metaphor for “watering the seed of their future”, or having their special day be the extraordinary weather day, but the forecast wasn’t looking good. As guests arrived, rain drops were lightly falling on their umbrellas, as they huddled under the building to stay dry. About 5 mins before the ceremony was to start…..it just….stopped. Not only did it just stop raining, but the clouds parted and the sun BLASTED down upon us! Everyone quickly helped to dry off the ceremony seats and Megan and Brandon walked down the aisle to get married! They even got to enjoy a perfect sunset which the Martin Johnson House is pretty famous for providing. While the weather really lucked out for everyone, my favorite part of the night might have been when the Photo Booth opened up, and a guests were able to take photos with the life-size cut out of the bride and groom’s pup who was unable to attend the festivities! Congrats to Megan and Brandon, who recently went on their honeymoon for exceptional lovers; Paris!
