Ok, since the cat will be out of the bag once you realize I put NINETY FIVE images into this blog post, I’ll begin by admitting it. I’m a bit obsessed with Lauren & Steve’s wedding. When asked by brides what makes wedding photos great, I inevetably end up on the topic of creating a wedding that expresses who YOU TWO are. Not what the latest trend is. Not what the most reasonable or hot location is. Just an expression of you. This would have to be an overall explanation of Lauren and Steve’s day. Lauren is a girl who is in love with the stage. She’s acted in dramas and loves in her spare time to photograph cool things. She shares my love of the analog process and shoots a lot of film. Steve is a guy with an awesome sense of humor and a love for WWE…more of that in the post. HAHA As a couple they have this perfect balance of tenderness and hilarity.
Photos were so important to Lauren that she created amazing opportunities for them. We shot their first look photos in the morning in their apartment courtyard and because a first look helps the day’s schedule go smoothly, we were able to get all the bridal party shots in well before dark (which in November is like 4:30 ugh!)
Let me mention just a few more things I loved about Lauren & Steve’s wedding and I’m just going to list them so I don’t bore you with 10 more paragraphs of gushing:
Lauren’s vintage inspired yet timeless gown, the stylish guests, a lovely welcoming family, adorable British grandparents, a sixpence in her shoe… from grandma, AUTUMN COLORS!!, the homemade fabric corsages and boutinnaires, centerpieces of the places that were special to them, a baseball to sign at every table, real record being played by the DJ, and some of the most EPIC FIRST DANCES YOU’VE EVER SEEN… ok I really could go on and on.
I wish you all the happiness in the world Lauren & Steve!
