Why We Love ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​1. Megan knows what she's doing behind a camera. If these photos don't confirm that, how about her 17 years she's been in business or the 300+ weddings she has photographed?
2. Please direct yourselves to the Wedding MVP section of her website...Megan can capture a MOMENT. The fact that she has an entire section of her website dedicated to these fantastic wedding moments that she has captured...just makes us love her even more!
3. We love that when she's not photographing weddings, she's speed gardening (to avoid the bugs) and also trying to pet all the dogs.

Let's Talk DJ's! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Music is a KEY component of any memorable wedding reception. Don't open yourself up to disappointment and make sure to ask all the questions and know exactly what to expect so your dance floor is on point!

1. Don't be fooled by just anyone claiming to be a DJ. Ask for their experience with weddings specifically, how many, where, the vibe, get all the details.

2. Remember to ask for those references. A good DJ will be happy to provide you with people to chat with to ask about their experience. Some will even provide you with sample mixes or playlists so you can listen for yourself!

3. Different DJ's have different styles, which is not a bad thing! The most important thing is that you want to make sure that their style aligns well with yours so you can feel comfortable turning over the musical reigns to them on the big day.

4. Some DJs are totally OK to play all those requests, some stick to the playlist and some want to have more artistic freedom to make song choices based on the crowd. Either way, just make sure you are clear on how Aunt Sue's request for YMCA will be handled :)

5. No one wants things to go off script on their wedding day, but in reality-they might. Make sure you ask about backup equipment in case something breaks, a backup DJ in case your DJ gets sick, etc so so if the unexpected does happen-no one feels like they are scrambling.

Check out the rest of our recommended questions when interviewing DJ's at www.upstateindieweddings.com/blog or comment DJ below!

3 Reasons Why We Love ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​1. This setting is PERFECTION! It's the perfect combo of contemporary barn vibes without being rustic. You really can go big or simplistic with decor and have a beautiful wedding either way.

2. The outdoor space is DREAMY! From the gorgeous wooden arbor for the ceremony to the expansive space for yard games and even a covered outdoor bar, this venue is so multifunctional for your event.

3. BRIDGETTE!! Holy smokes this lady is wonderful. This owner/operator really does it all and pays such close attention to each couple and makes sure everything runs smoothly for them. The level of care she provides is really something special.
