I've always been told - You just never know when love will find you. To be honest, I only partially believe people when they say it. However, Scott and Megan's story definitely supports that theory.
They were a couple that almost didn't happen...
It was the evening of April 18th, 2005, Boston was recovering from another Boston Marathon and Megan headed to a local Irish Pub to meet a friend for a drink. About 20 minutes into their conversation, a handsome man came over and interrupted them. His name was Scott. Unfortunately, Megan was in no mood to be hit on and (allegedly) gave the gentleman an icy death stare as he began making conversation. The brave man however, was not deterred by the eye daggers and continued to hang around, even buying the ladies drinks. It didn't take long to find out he was a medical student and as it turned out, Megan planned to apply for medical school in the near future. The tables turned suddenly as Megan began asking the questions and before they knew it, they were talking about a variety of common interests. At the end of the night, they exchanged numbers and found out they lived only 2 blocks from each other. He called her the next day to make plans and by Friday night they were on their first official date. Little did they know that neither of them would need go on another first date again.
Both will soon work at Tufts University. Megan just matched there for her Ob/Gyn residency and Scott is going to be an attending orthopedic surgeon. They are an east coast couple but chose Phoenix for a destination wedding to escape the chilly Baltimore weather. Unfortunately, Phoenix didn't cooperate much offering frigid rain and cloudy skies on Saturday. However these two were unphased by the fact that the ceremony was moved inside. They spent every moment of the day soaking up the precious time with family and friends who traveled to celebrate Scott and Megan... a couple that almost never happened, but that was simply meant to be.
The day started with the whole wedding party getting ready in a suite at the Hyatt in downtown Phoenix.

This was the view from their room on the 21st floor:
Megan's Enzoani dress hung out on a custom hanger she found on Etsy:
Scott helped one of his groomsmen out with his tie:
Even though it rained most of the day, it dried up for a couple hours just in time for us to do the first look and some portraits outdoors. It was still freezing cold, but I think it was worth it:
The wedding and reception both took place at the Phoenix Art Museum, so we had to take advantage of shooting with some of the art.
Love this:
The bridal party was a fun crowd:
The guys looked so dapper:
I normally don't blog family portraits from a wedding, but I love the light and colors we had to work with!
Even though the ceremony was moved indoors, the site was picturesque:
Megan's dad walked her down a three story staircase in front of her guests and awaiting groom:
And gave her away:
Yay! Husband and wife!
The reception details were beautiful. The flowers and centerpieces were done by Fred's Flowers.
The Art Museum is such a great venue for receptions because the room comes decorated with art on all the walls.
The couple danced their first dance accompanied by my favorite band - The Shining Star Band.
Love this shot I got during toasts:
SO fun:
What a fabulous day! To see even more photos from this fun wedding, click here to watch the slideshow!
