Megan and I have been friends for over a decade. I’m not really even sure if I feel old enough to say that, but we’ve been friends since high school swim team try outs placed us in the same bleachers at the ripe old age of 14. So crazy. She was part of my inner circle. A confidant. Incredibly, fiercely loyal. And the person I frequently passed long, messy notes to about boys. We shed a lot of tears sitting on each other’s beds after school, laughed until we cried in many the late night fast food joint, and…you guessed it, talked about boys…a lot. So how crazy is it that we fast forward to the first year of college, and who is Megan gushing about at her new beloved Virginia Tech? A boy who went to our high school, Joey Barlow. Affectionately now known as Joe :]
It took going off to school 4 hours away for these two to find each other! And years later, they’re celebrating their first year of marriage to each other. They’ve bared with each other through immense personal growth, two years of long distance love, and all that life post college throws your way. My favorite thing to see about their relationship is the way that Joe brings out the easy smiles and the fun in Megan. He softens her just by putting an arm around her or pulling her in close.
They’re not only great loves, but best friends. And I think that makes for the best kind of marriage. I hope you enjoy their Middleburg session. Happy one year you two!
Love Megan’s blue eyes :]
See what I mean? Joe brings the fun :]
Joe and Megan were so adventurous :] They climbed through the brambles for me!

Love love love!
