Published: What’s Up Annapolis Weddings

Posted in Business, Personal

Pork chops.  Who even knew there were so many choices?!  Center cut?  End cut.  Rib eye.  Yadda yadda yadda.  Oy.  I had no idea.  I just wanted the good ones for shake n’ bake.  Dude, quit judging.  I’m the MASTER of Shake N’ Bake!  I glanced over my shoulder to the magazine rack and saw where the wedding section was and knew what the last cover looked like and knew that it wasn’t there any more.  I grabbed whichever pork chops I was looking at and ran over to the rack of neatly stacked magazines.  I picked it up and looked at the date.  Spring/Summer 2012.  I hastily flipped through the pages looking for something familiar.  And there they were.  And were they ever.  Like, a whole lot of them.  And there I was.  In the meat department of my grocery store looking through a magazine with my images in it.

I feel so honored to be published in What’s Up Annapolis Weddings and it makes me so happy for all my couples that were featured in it.  So thank you to them for trusting in me, and for the magazine for wanting to use my images.  And yes, I bought my grocery store out of stock.  So if you live in Bethesda, you might have to go to a different grocery store to pick one up.

Mary Anne and Gus’s adorable milkshake bar was featured, because really when isn’t a milkshake bar a good idea.  That’s right, always.  Then this beautiful image from Katie and Mike’s wedding at The Oaks in St. Michael’s.

Nicole and Mike’s beautiful Annapolis wedding, which was held at the Westin was featured in their Real Weddings section.  And I wish you could just bottle up the love that those two had that day, it was adorable.

And Jamie and Corey’s stunning September wedding at the Hyatt in Cambridge.  Then Jill and Jeremy’s July garden chic wedding at the Aspen Wye River Conference Center on the Eastern Shore.

To Live this Life.

Posted in Personal

What are you waiting for, I keep asking myself.  For the weather to change?  To finally gain that twenty-fifth hour in the day?  I’m not sure, but there always seems to be an excuse.  So many things I want to do, but just not enough umph to get up and do them.  And then I went to NYC.  I dropped everything, and I went to one of my favorite places, for myself.  To feel alive.  They call it living life and unfortunately the last couple of years there hasn’t been a whole lot of that going on.  Life takes over, worrying takes over, business takes over and you crawl into bed during the wee hours of the morning only to do it all over again the next day.  Rinse and repeat.

As I was going through a pile of papers in my room this weekend, I came across something, and I sat there on my bedroom floor and read it over and over.  It was a date.  A date which reinforced that life is short.  Shorter than I’m ready to admit.  Shorter than I’m ready to deal with.  And unfortunately we don’t have a say in it.  So.  I’ll do what I can, and make the most of it.  And those things that I keep putting off, I’ll do them too, just to feel alive.  To live this life.

NOTE:  This does not mean I am moving to NYC.  Though I wish I could, but there just is not enough room in NYC for all my shoes.  And yes Mom, I had to hold up the traffic for that shot.  No Megan Beth’s were harmed in the making of the picture.  Don’t act surprised, you’ve seen me do more dangerous things for a photograph.  Thanks to Joy and Garrett Nudd for the photos on the diagonal!

New York City!

Posted in Personal

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, heck, who am I kidding it’s been a ridiculous last few months and wedding season is about to start!  I’m in New York right now, soaking up the concrete, but I can’t wait to get back and share with you one very special event from the beginning of the month.

Get it, gurl!  Yes, that’s me.  No that was not taken during this trip.

Shake Shack!

World Trade Center site.

Gail - Wow… I love your pics..wish I had taken a camera there last week!March 20, 2012 – 5:59 pm

Megan - Everytime I go by the World Trade Center site, I get teary. There’s just something so sad and unsettling about that area, eventhough they’ve built the new memeorial.March 20, 2012 – 10:18 am

Laurie Bracewell - Looooove it!!! Wish I were there with you! HAVE FUN!!! xoMarch 20, 2012 – 10:11 am

Megan Beth Style: Spring 2012.

Posted in Style

I feel like I say this every season, but really…one minute it’s winter, and the next it’s springtime.  Bananas.  We really didn’t get a winter this year.  Because sixty degrees doesn’t count as winter.  If you’re going to hold a title such as winter, Winter, you better be cold and I wanna see some snow.  Make a note of it for next year.  DO YOU HEAR ME?!  Now I’m working on the in-between weather outfits.  Do I wear sweaters or short sleeves, boots, or sandals.  Daytime it’s warm, evening it’s chilly.  Bi-polar weather.  You just can’t win.

My Megan Beth Spring 2012 style post is all things navy inspired!  And, you can find previous style posts here!

1. Far Away Cocktail Dress
