jon + brogan – lawrence, ks bohemian chic backyard wedding | adventurous destination wedding photographer

They sat around while all their closest friends and family members mocked, embarrassed, and ridiculed them, but Jon and Brogan were having the time of their lives. You see, on their wedding day, instead of going for the traditional mushy gushy toasts, these two opted for a more….unconventional route. They had members of their bridal party do a classic roast, all in good fun. Not only was it different, but it represented the joyful, fun, and never-take-life-too-seriously attitudes Jon & Brogan live their lives by.

I knew these two before they started dating, so getting the pleasure of witnessing and capturing their wedding day was amazing. Not only do they know how to laugh and have fun, but they also know how to love others so hard. They model God’s love in their relationship and go above and beyond to serve others in all they do. Even though their bridal party was supposed to roast them, every single speech ended with undying love and encouragement for Jon & Brogan. 

The night ended with their friends and family lighting floating lanterns and sending them into the sky, as the newlyweds kissed under the twinkling sky, light a scene straight out of Tangled. It was magical, and I’ll never forget it.

Congratulations to you both, Mr. & Mrs. Griffith! Thank you for making my job SO much fun, and for being your awesome selves. You both are going to change this world, I just know it.
