Remember these guys? Over a year ago, I shot engagements for Megan and Cody. John and I didn’t know them, but instantly got along with them. We had a blast downtown and loved the energy they both brought to the table. After we delivered their engagement photos, we thought we’d never hear from the sweet couple again, because M&C had already informed us that they were getting married in the Dominican Republic. She told us the would be staying at Now Larimar Resort, an all inclusive resort that even came with wedding Photographers. We wished them well, but couldn’t help but wish it was US documenting their special day. One day we received an email from Megan informing us that she and Cody wanted US to go with them to the Dominican. We danced, jumped up and down, and high-fived each other. We obviously agreed, and we’re SO glad we did, because Megan and Cody are dear to our hearts. We knew NOTHING about the Dominican, but instantly did research. We had to get our passports updated, but it was hard to keep the secret to ourselves. When it got closer to time, we finally shouted the news from every rooftop in town.
When we finally arrived to our resort, we gasped. The Dominican has some of the most breathtaking views we’ve ever seen. The white sandy beaches, and turquoise calm waters stretched as far as we could see. The Dominican people are so polite and helpful, they made sure we always had what we needed. The tropical climate was like a gift to us because we left Memphis in 40 degree weather. We traded our scarves for flip flops and we were ok with that!
We had never met Megan or Cody’s parents, but Megan’s mom, Mrs. Marty was one of the first people to welcome us with open arms. She was entirely too sweet, she made John and I feel like we were HER children, and we love her for that. John and I got to talk with some of Megan and Cody’s bridal party, and we all came to the conclusion that Megan and Cody are some of the most giving, generous people ever. They are selfless and always want what’s best for their loved ones. We felt blessed to spend the entire five days with them.
We sat down at their rehearsal dinner, and heard multiple friends/family speak sweet words about the happy couple. It was so encouraging to hear all of these strangers (to us) say such beautiful things about Megan and Cody. We agreed with all of it. There isn’t another Megan and Cody, I know that for sure. This couple deserves each other, and we are so thankful their path’s crossed.
Megan and Cody, and the Greenhalgh/Finks family, thank you for allowing us to tag along on the most special day of your life. We hope these images bring you back to the magic of it all.
Enjoy!

So then Megan and Cody got in!
How dreamy?
