Megan + Austin, Chateau Dore

I had the absolute joy of photographing Meg and Austin’s wedding at the ever-stunning Château Dore—and honestly? It was magic.

But this wasn’t just a wedding. This was the next chapter in a love story that started when they were fifteen. Yep—these two have been growing up and growing in love together since year 9 at BSE.

According to Meg, the moment she laid eyes on Austin, she was sold. She’d just returned to school after being homeschooled and, let’s just say, she came in hot with the Snapchat strategy (we’ve all been there 😅). Endless selfies captioned “someone chat!”—all strategically sent to one person: Austin. And while he eventually asked her to maybe chill with the spam, that’s actually when their real conversations started.

Fast forward to now:
They’ve navigated school, careers, heartbreak, puppies (Leo and Harvey 😍), and built a whole dang home and life together. Through the highs, the lows, and everything in between, they’ve had each other’s backs. Meg chased her dream of becoming a nurse. Austin trained as an electrician. And through the heartbreak of losing Meg’s dad, Austin stood strong by her side.

Their day at Château Dore? Elegant, timeless, full of heart. Think soft romantic tones, classic styling, and those golden vineyard vibes that just hit different. Sunset rolled in and—oh my heart—those photos. That golden hour wrapped around them like a warm hug, and honestly? I was squealing behind the camera.

And when the sun went down? The party. Was. ON.
Let’s just say—this crew knows how to bring the energy. I’m still recovering. Worth it.

From Snapchat spams to vows and vino under the stars, Meg and Austin’s day was more than picture-perfect. It was them—real, warm, joyful, and a little bit cheeky. Just the way love should be.
