Junior League Wedding: Lauren & Daniel

Last weekend I was embraced by two beautifully welcoming families, THE most fabulous wedding party, and two completely-in-love clients who I’d first met only three months prior. And if my obsession with adjectives and hyphens and words capitalized out of nowhere isn’t convincing enough, well then let me just tell you… It was an honor. Really. All of my love and appreciation is owed to both the Killary and Von Drehle families. And to Lauren and Daniel, most of all. I hope you enjoy this sneak peek! AND Tahiti! XOXO!!

Darryl and Co. did an incredible job with the floral for the new Mr. and Mrs.!undefinedAnd Lauren’s dress was one of the most uniquely beautiful gowns I’ve ever seen. Dress by Tara Keely.undefinedundefinedDaniel. One of the kindest grooms (and Steve Carell look-alikes) I’ve had the pleasure of working with.
undefinedundefinedIt’s gettin’ married time!!
undefinedundefinedPost-ceremony, we headed over to the nearby bird sanctuary for some portraits.undefinedOkay, f’real. Lauren? You glow.undefinedundefinedThe surroundings of L & D’s reception site were just beeegging for some portraits as well!undefinedOne of my favorite things about portraiture is catching real moments. Like when Lauren starts fixing her dress and looks down right GORGEOUS doing it.undefinedundefinedLove. :)undefinedundefinedOh, if only you could have seeeen my face when I walked in on these masterpieces.undefinedundefinedCake by Theme Cakes by Traci. Simple. Elegant. Beautiful in every way.undefinedThe grand entrance. Always such a sweet moment. :)undefinedAnd Lauren and Daniel’s masterfully choreographed and performed first dance!undefinedI had the opportunity to photograph not only the wedding reception toasts, but L&D’s rehearsal dinner toasts. All I can say after hearing each and every one is that, Lauren and Daniel, you have a WHOLE lot of people who love you.undefinedundefinedThe Mambo Jazz Kings absolutely killed it!!undefinedAnd we’ll end on an image that might just be my favorite from the entire day. :)undefined

Happy Friday!!

    gnn@nesossistudios.com - Alyse, Beautiful images from Lauren and Daniel’s wedding. Not boxed in but very casual and elegant. Very, very nice work. You also made Andrea, the Mom, very happy. Our studio doesn’t do weddings and we will definitely recommend you. All the best, Geof
