It’s no surprise that Lauren + Jesse’s wedding day was 1. extra special 2. full of laughter + fun times. As explained previous from their engagement post (you can see that HERE), it was mentioned that Jesse is one of my (many) cousins, and Lauren was a bridesmaid in a previous wedding of mine 2 years ago (you can see that HERE).
A beautiful day filled with sunshine and humidity, Jesse + Lauren started prepping for the biggest day of their lives; their wedding day! After many hours of planning, putting together details for the day, and getting everything ready.. all of their hard work was finished. Dodging the guys from the girls + girls from the guys all morning to keep the bride + groom separate was worth it all when Jesse saw Lauren for the first time walking down the aisle.
They cheered and clapped as the newly-weds walked into the reception, tapping their glasses for an expected kiss. From the speeches, cutting the cake, to the father/daughter duet and more, it was undeniable that everyone was having a great time. After stealing the bride + groom for some beautiful golden light photos, they re-entered the reception and danced the night away:)
Jesse + Lauren — your late nights of planning + endless amounts of decisions being made was all SO worth it + more than that.. it absolutely paid off! What an incredible day to be a part of, capturing your promises to one another for a lifetime of support, love + commitment. What a beautiful day, and an even more beautiful couple! Your love for one another is radiant and you both truly glowed with happiness! Best wishes as you continue on this amazing journey called marriage! ;) xo! – K

It felt like I ran with them with the amount of birdseed I collected!! haha!!
Lauren + her father restored this tractor together.. doesn’t it look AMAZING? Of course we had to get photos with it!! :)
Lauren .. you’re STUNNING!

Instead of sharing a Father/Daughter dance, they did this “skit/performance” together and had their guests quite entertained!! It was so funny!
the best way to end a great day.. golden hour portraits :)
