Here at Junebug, one of our favorite things about weddings is that they are unique and different for each couple. We truly believe there is no right or wrong way to do things. I love how today's couple, Megan and Tim, followed their hearts and created a wedding day that had all the elements they love - intimate moments with their closest friends and family, spectacular seasonal northwest cuisine, and none of the things that felt like an obligation.
