Searles Castle Wedding – Lauren & Jared

 

Lauren and Jared and I are old pros at the wedding gig. You see, I was at their intimate, small wedding last September; so when their full-blown bash finally happened this November, we were all old pros! It was a perfect fall day … crisp air but beautiful skies and a super, amazing bridal party to boot. And because Lauren and Jared suffered from my “oh-my-god-fall-is-insane-how-do-I-get-all-the-work-done” lack of a blog post, they are going to get two parts. Here’s part 1! Lauren & Jared – I’m almost sad. Each year I’ve had the pleasure of anticipating our day-o-fun together and now we are heading into 2012 with no wedding! I see only one answer to this dilemma – start making lots and LOTS of babies so I can come take photos of them! In all seriousness, I treasure the fact that out of our business relationship a friendship has been made and I’ve been introduced to your wonderful family. I feel so lucky that we have a future of drink dates and staying in touch ahead. XOXO

The day started as it should … with beautiful details and two of my favorite things – pearls and navy!

 

Lauren’s dress at her first wedding was fun and included a gorgeous bow … and her dress for this wedding was so stunning. It took our breath away when we walked in.

Best friends are such a gift … and this best friend is AWESOME.

Lauren’s shoes made me SWOON. In the words of my girl Whitney Bower Imaging … A-MAZE.

Lauren, you are gorgeous. Most importantly, you have the nicest, kindest heart. Being gorgeous inside is few and far and I think you are a treasure!

I’d say everyone was pleased!

We were SUPER tight on time … when we pulled up at St. Anselm’s for the ceremony we had about 8 minutes until the start of the ceremony. MAJOR KUDOS to Lauren who agreed to head somewhere onto campus and shoot for a few minutes. We were so tight on time and if I was the bride I would NEVER had agreed thinking we didn’t have enough time. THANK YOU for trusting me!

Gotta love happy bridesmaids … and gorgeous bouquets. I’m on a major navy-grey-yellow obsession lately so anytime one of those colors appear, I’m pretty psyched.

St. Anselm’s college did not disappoint. STUNNING ceremony venue.

There is something about the way Lauren & Jared look at each other … makes your heart happy to see such genuine love.

 

I’m ending off part 1 with these formals. xoxo
