If you’re dreaming of a modern and meaningful wedding day filled with joy, energy, and real connection—Venue 1902 in Sanford, Florida might be the perfect place to say “I do.” Megan and Matthew Berwager’s November wedding was a beautiful blend of personality, nostalgia, and fun, captured with timeless photography that reflects their love exactly as it is.
A Love Story Rooted in PA School
Megan and Matthew first met in PA school and quickly built a strong bond that would lead them through nearly seven years together. When Matthew decided to propose, he chose Coopers Hawk—where they had their first date and spent every anniversary. It was personal, thoughtful, and completely “them.”
Why They Chose Venue 1902 in Sanford, FL
When it came time to choose a venue, Megan and Matthew wanted something unique, and Venue 1902 at Preservation Hall immediately stood out. This historic schoolhouse-turned-wedding venue offers timeless charm with a modern twist—making it the ideal setting for their November wedding.
Venue 1902’s blend of classic architecture and contemporary elegance provided the perfect backdrop for a day full of genuine emotion and celebration.
A Wedding Day Full of Music, Moments, and Meaning
From the beginning, Megan and Matthew prioritized guest experience—especially when it came to music. With a talented DJ at the helm, the dance floor stayed full all night. One of the most unforgettable parts of the reception? A throwback set of early 2000s punk rock songs. Friends and family packed the floor, screaming lyrics and dancing with abandon—just the kind of fun Megan and Matthew envisioned.
And while the party was epic, they made space for quiet moments too. Their private last dance was one of their favorite memories—a peaceful, meaningful pause before the final farewell.
True-to-Life, Timeless Wedding Photography
Megan shared that what drew her to Bläk Marie Photography was the natural, true-to-color style that felt authentic—not overly posed or photoshopped. She wanted photography that captured the real moments, and I’m so honored I got to do just that for them.
One of the sweetest parts of their story? While on their honeymoon in Ireland, Megan and Matthew opened their highlight gallery together while enjoying Guinness stew at a local restaurant. That moment of reliving their day—while beginning their next chapter—is something they’ll never forget.
Kind Words From the Couple
“Blak was absolutely amazing!! I’m obsessed with her style which to me seems more of the clean and classic look. You can tell she really cares about her clients and her product. I have gotten SO many compliments from my family and friends about our wedding photos! Could not recommend her more. She captured our day so well! 1000/10.”
One Last Tip for Couples Getting Married at Venue 1902
