Introducing: Meghan and Jason!

If I remember one thing about my first interaction with this couple, it is the way Jason looked at his bride. From our very first video iChat, I remember the way he looked over at her as she talked about their wedding and plastered on his face was the biggest grin I'd ever seen on a man. When Meghan first called to inquire about our services, I asked her to tell me a little bit more about themselves and with a giggle, she answered, "Well, we smile a lot," and she wasn't kidding! The joy they create together is contagious.

Greetings from Illinois! Jesie and I arrived this afternoon to the Chicago area for Meghan and Jason's stunning Jewish wedding. We've been in touch with these two for nearly a year and a half and their date is finally here! Never before have we met, with the exception of several video conferences. Today, was our first meeting, but it felt like our 50th! Approaching each other with joyful smiles and open arms we hugged like we'd hugged many times before.

We started off the day with a VERY well planned rehearsal and then headed off to downtown Normal, IL for a quick "get-to-know-you" shoot. With the wedding date less than 24 hours away we wanted to make sure to really get a handle on the personalities of these two incredible people. We only had 15 minutes to shoot before they jetted off to the rehearsal dinner, but it was quite possibly the EASIEST shoot we've ever had. Meghan and Jason are some of the most joyful people on this planet. They just LAUGH! And SMILE! Here's just a glimpse into the way they love each another...
