Saturday was a wedding I was really looking forward to! Not that I don’t look forward to all my weddings, but I was really excited for Lauren and Mike’s. I think it is because I got to spend a whole day with them during their engagement session and the fact that Lauren’s Mom, Linda was always calling me and writing me notes telling me how excited she was for me to be there. When Katie and I arrived at Lauren’s parents house, Linda was there with open arms and an open kitchen! She made sure we were well fed before we headed out the door to the church. This was after the girls got ready and we shot a few pics before the limo came. The ceremony was held at St Joseph’s in Hanover. It think it was one of the quickest catholic ceremony’s ever! We wanted to limit the amount of family formals at the church to utilize the grounds at The Stone Mill Inn. Plus it was a good bit of a drive.
We took Lauren and Mike around to a few spots and Lauren’s dress seemed to pick up a few critters along the way. For those of you that know me, I don’t handle bugs very well. Thank goodness there were no crickets or I would have been a mess! It was a little too sticky out and we need to get the festivities started, so we headed back to the tent where cocktail hours was and they had their first dances before moving inside. We decided it would be best to wait for the sun to set to get the really sweet light! I am so glad, b/c Lauren was absolutely stunning! I actually teared up when she first put her dress on.
After all the formal activities were over, the dancing started and the cigars came out. Everyone was just in a very relaxed mood the rest of the night. What a great time! Thank you guys for letting us share this day with you!! Here are a few sneak peaks and your slideshow
