Filming Meagan and Cameron’s wedding was a fantastic experience. Meagan is a dear friend of mine from the University of Texas McCombs MBA Full-Time program Class of 2012 and one of the first people I recruited for my filming craziness.

Of course I regretted the no camera decision once I arrived, so I took pictures with my…
