Lauren & Mark | Get Married! {Part 1}

I was SO excited to photograph Lauren & Mark's wedding day.  They had such a lovely day and I was truly honored to be a part of it.  And Lauren, a very special thank you to you for trusting me (and my vision) to capture this incredible time in your life...   

And, a big HUGE thank you to my assistant for the day - my beautiful sister, Melissa.  Thank you SO MUCH for all of your help!!! 

And now on to Part 1 of this amazing day...

The day started out early with Lauren and her sister, Shelby, getting ready.  Lauren had Shelby as her Maid of Honor... I just loved this caricature of the two of them hanging up in the hallway :)

For 'something old', Lauren wore her grandmother's ring...

I could not get enough of the 'details' of the day, from the dress, to the shoes...

Lauren's turn to get ready :)

Lauren's mom painting her toenails...

Shelby looked AMAZING!

And check this out - Lauren's Mom & Dad had hummingbirds (tons of them!) - so they thought we could try and get a few shots :)

And Lauren - she looked absolutely STUNNING!

                             

Just after the bridal shots, the storm clouds started moving in and it rained for a bit... But it didn't last long, and it ended just in time for Lauren & Mark to say their vows!  Stay tuned for pics from the beautiful ceremony and the super fun reception...
