The Hops Company Wedding | Meghan and Michael

Meghan and Michael’s The Hops Company wedding was nothing short of magical. The weather could not have been more perfect — it was one of those sunny, golden days that photographers dream about. From start to finish, their wedding was filled with joy, laughter, and so much love.

Getting Ready at The Cottage at the Hops

Meghan began her morning at The Cottage at The Hops Company, which was the ideal bridal getting-ready space. With beautiful natural light and plenty of room for her bridesmaids to gather around, it set the tone for the relaxed and fun atmosphere that carried throughout the day. They even used it as a “home base” during portraits, hide from the guests, and to take quick breaks from the sun.

A First Look to Remember

One of the best decisions Meghan and Michael made was choosing to do a first look. This special moment allowed them to see each other before the ceremony, share a few quiet minutes together, and calm their nerves. Not only did it make their timeline seamless, but it also gave us the opportunity to capture all their important portraits before the ceremony began. This meant they could enjoy more time with each other and their guests later in the day — a win for everyone!

A Love That Shines Through

If there’s one thing that stood out about this day, it was the way Michael looked at Meghan. His love for her is so genuine and heartfelt that it brought him to tears multiple times. Each time he saw her, his emotions overflowed, and it was clear to everyone just how deeply he cherishes her. The way he admires her every step and every smile is something truly special.
