Last Saturday I spent the day second shooting Lauren + Michael’s wedding for my friend Tanner of Today Might Be Photography. I love working with this kid. He has lots of energy and tons of creativity, which means his mind can be all over the place. I’m a bit more grounded and have a completely different shooting style. But I can’t even express how much I appreciate shooting alongside someone who balances me out and gives me a different perspective on things. It was a fun day for sure!
I spent the morning with Lauren and her bridesmaids as they got ready. I heard all about how Lauren + Mike met. We laughed and talked. It felt like we were friends just hanging out. Then we headed to the church where Lauren put on her beautiful white dress and did the finishing touches on her make up. Lauren + Mike’s first look in the sanctuary was so incredibly sweet. The ceremony was simple and full of family members and friends who have played important roles in Lauren + Michael’s lives. Outside in the church courtyard was the reception, with lots of details and perfect sunshine. That was followed by some bubbles as Lauren + Mike drove off. We then got to spend some more time with them at the park taking photographs. Ending it all with a private dock, the water front, and some sweet sun-flare.
Sunday morning I woke up and rolled out of bed, still completely exhausted from 12 hours of work from the day before. But no matter how tired I was, all I wanted was to play Saturday all over again. That is how much I loved photographing Lauren + Michael’s wedding and being a part of their special day. Pretty sure I have the coolest job ever.
Here are some of my favorite frames from the day! And don’t forget to stop by Tanner’s website here.
I’ve decided that first looks are definitely my favorite part of photographing weddings…
Lauren + Mike’s wedding was full of details galore. I loved it. But I might have come home with too many photographs of details. Oops!
Or maybe my favorite part is seeing the bride right before she walks down the aisle. I love that too.
I’m so glad we took a few minutes to photograph in the library. Beautiful light!
Their getaway car…a Bentley!
And don’t forget to add in some bubbles…
After the reception we headed to the park for some more portraits. They also brought a stereo along so that Lauren could dance with her father.
Lauren + Mike took some time to dance in the park too. So sweet.
Favorite frame of the day…
