Megan and Devin's Dreamy Desert Vow Renewal by Things Are Lovely Photography

Happy Monday, after a fun filled few days of birthday celebrations I am now back in the office with no distractions ready to crack on with a weeks worth of wonderful weddings. I had a great weekend, I went to the theatre with Dexter on Saturday day, then went to an Ibiza classics night with lots of my friends in the evening. Sunday was of course mothers day, which was lovely! Its now back on with the healthy eating as we go on holiday in a few weeks time! So this week I am starting off with the gorgeous wedding of Megan and Devin who were married on 31st August 2022 in Moab, Utah. They were actually married eight years ago, in a small ceremony, so they wanted to do it all again but this time with all their closest friends and family. They decided on a 3 day glamping experience, an outdoor wedding filled with the best food and decoration. Big thanks to Things Are Lovely Photography for the great photos.

Maggie from Things Are Lovely Photography tells us more

After a rushed courthouse wedding eight years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Richey started their cross-country adventure as a military couple. Although their marriage and family was perfect, they always felt like something was missing. Finally, after two years of planning, Megan and Devin invited those they love most to a three-day “glamping” escapade at the breath taking Under Canvas Moab resort hotel to partake in the most unbelievable celebration of their love that they never got to have.

Their guests were treated to four days of luxury camping fun all centred around one intimate ceremony where the couple exchanged and renewed personal vows that left no eye dry. Their soft, inviting details matched their earth-toned colour palate and together, created an event almost as stunning at the couple themselves. Complete with a sunrise session at Arches National Park, the festivities of the Richey Vow Renewal were the things that desert-loving nuptial dreams are made of. It was personally such a privilege, not only to be their wedding photographer, but also to be Megan’s matron of honour.

From the bride:

“A true desert dream. Once we came across Under Canvas Moab, there was no other venue that could compete for our long-awaited vow renewal. Pulling off a four day adventure to celebrate our marriage in a barren red rock desert was no small feat. Between our invaluable planning team, vendors, and the most incredibly accommodating staff at Under Canvas, we were able to pull off the vow renewal of a life time.

Every detail was perfect and the food was delicious, but the best part was being on a vacation in the middle of nowhere, soaking up quality time with all of our favourite people. Although the week seemed to fly by, we had the absolute best photographer (and my Matron of Honour, how?!) who was able to freeze the most special moments in time, and our favourite videographer who put together a reel of memories that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Our vow renewal was a blessing that will be forever engrained in our hearts.”
