Megan Beth is a wedding photographer in the Bethesda, Maryland area. Also serving DC and Virginia. Available for travel worldwide.
I was minding my own business editing away, when I got a phone call. It was a mystery caller telling me to meet them outside in five minutes at the nearest cross streets for a surprise snack. I was trusting, mostly because this person knows the list of ten things in my diet. As I’m standing there on the side of the road, waiting for the drop, the little black car rolls up, slows down long enough for me to grab the ‘goods,’ and speeds away.
And I must say, it was delicious. Thank you Lauren!
They kissed and walked out the back of the church. As they were standing there alone, waiting for guests to come out of the church Sam looked at Jess, and Jess looked at Sam with the biggest eyes and smiles you have EVER SEEN. And all they could say over and over, was can you believe it…We.Are.Married!? It was real, and their excitement just could not be contained.
They say laughter is the best medicine, if so Jess and Sam have about 32 lifetime supplies. Their laughter is contagious. Like, on the ground rolling, face hurts from smiling so hard, kind of contagious. Which I’m sure, is why they are so magnetic towards each other and their friends. Their excitement for life, being married, and one another is like nothing I’ve seen before.
Jess and Sam, I can’t thank you enough for letting me capture your day. Your love is amazing, pure, and exciting. Thank you for showing the world how to laugh and love. You two are so much fun to be around, and I wish you guys nothing but the best. Much Love, Megan
I absolutely love that Jess incorporated her favorite color into every little detail.
I’ve never seen such a gorgeous heel so sparkly and shiny before.
Loved her dress. It truly reflected her personality…simple and stunning.
Wow. Fabulous.
The bridesmaids were no exception.
Jess loves peace, and the peace sign. And I just loved how all of her friends were flashing her peace signs all day.
Sam, looking quite studly.
The boys had a running joke with mini spirits. Lets just say Sam consumed a couple at the bachelor party.
I’m in love with their gray suits…although I guess I’m a little biased.
Sam’s guy friends are the funniest guys you WILL EVER MEET. At this moment they were making fun of Sam for being totally UN-GQ.
If Jess’s day job doesn’t work out, I think she should be a wedding planner…I mean really…look at all these amazing details!!
Jess and Sam decided to see each other before the ceremony (which I LOVE) well…kinda.
And I quote “WE ARE MARRIED!?!”
The way Sam looks at Jess melts my heart.
This one is my absolute favorite from the day!
Sam makes Jess laugh even when she’s not looking.
I believe they call him ‘Two Left Feet Sam.’

LOVE the tuxes!! Awesome wedding fo sho’!! Great job, Megan!July 14, 2009 – 3:17 pm
You see, I know we go way back. We started our relationship back in 2001 and have had many ups and downs. You’ve been with me through car troubles, jobless weeks, and many a new pair of shoes. But as sad as I am to see you go, beat it sucka!
So this is what it’s like to feel debt-free and credit cardless…I likey. No worries, it only took me EIGHT years to pay it off, good thing I cut it up in 06. I feel like I need to celebrate…who wants to go shopping? KIDDING.
Make sure you check back Monday morning for an awesome wedding from the 4th of July. It’s so adorable, you won’t want to miss it!
