Lauren and John met in Florida, went to two different schools in Boston, just graduated and are now married and moving to California! Lauren is from California and John from Wisconsin. I always love hearing how couples meet, especially when they grew up in two different states. What were the chances that they would meet?!? It was obviously in the plans for John and Lauren to be together and it’s very obvious when you see them. They are so in love and so perfectly made to be with each other. I’m so glad I got to be a part of their gorgeous day!
I have to start with one of my favorites of John and Lauren taking at Shady Canyon Golf Club where the reception took place!

A gorgeous classic bouquet!

Lauren got ready at her parent’s house in Shady Canyon. The pool worked as a perfect background for the shoe shoot!

I remember Lauren posting a picture of her dress on facebook and loving it. It’s even more gorgeous in person!

Watching the World Cup… USA scores! They ended up losing but this was a happy moment. =)


I love Lauren’s bracelet!

John and Lauren decided to do a first look which made everything go so smoothly! We finished bridal party and family shots BEFORE the ceremony! We all headed straight to the reception, did some shots of the two of them with time to spare. They even got to enjoy some of the cocktail hour! Amazing!

I love this image. Actually, I think it’s one of my favorites from the day. This is Lauren’s dad and grandmother sneaking a peek of their first look. Lauren’s dad looks so proud and her grandmother’s expression is priceless.

The guys…

The girls…

Super fun wedding party!

One of the guys saw the shopping cart and wanted to use it… these are my kind of people! =)

Thanks to Kim at Irvine Presbyterian for letting me be in the front while Lauren walked down the aisle. It was completely worth it for this shot alone!

And this one…

The ceremony…

Mr. and Mrs!

Right after the ceremony we headed to Shady Canyon Golf Club in Irvine. Such a gorgeous place!





I kind of love this one. It looks old. =)

Such a classic wedding. It will always be in style, always beautiful!


LOVE this one from second shooter, Hannah

A little more first dance…

Love Lauren’s dad in this one!

And the party starts!

There’s so much going on here, where do we start? =)


Love the reaction when catching the bouquet. Thanks to Hannah for getting the shot!

John and Lauren, your wedding was beautiful as are you two inside and out! Your families were so kind… I sort of want to join your family. =) I wish you the best in your marriage and life!!
