Lauren & Christopher - Wedding Highlights

I first met Lauren just a few weeks before her wedding. Her final countdown had begun, and all her arrangements were made, but she hadn’t booked a videographer yet. It was on her list but she kept skipping over it - then coming back to it - until she finally made her decision. Luckily (for me), I was available and she decided to go for it (a very wise decision if I do say so myself).

So, fast forward a couple of weeks and on a gorgeous Saturday in September I meet up with Lauren again. This time it’s as she is getting ready for her wedding. Lipstick-N-Lashes was there as Lauren & the girls got ready at her mom’s house - the same place the reception would take place later on. Big Joe & JP Elario of Joe Elario Photography soon showed up which meant it was time to get rolling. We headed off to Emma Willard for Lauren & Chris’ first look and wedding ceremony. Lauren hit a range of emotions during her vows (calm, nervous, crying, laughing) before she pulled it together and they were pronounced husband and wife.

After the ceremony and a bubble exit from the church, Lauren & Chris hopped in a classic Bentley and headed into Troy for some more photos (check out photos here) before making their way back to the house where a huge tent was set up for the reception. They pretty much thought of everything to make it a great outdoor party - they had luminaries lighting the way to the tent entrance, lighting around tree trunks and hanging in trees, votives all along the rock wall behind their flower garden, a fire pit and Classe Catering for the eats and drinks. It was great seeing everything Lauren talked about come together into this great looking event - including the blue bridesmaids dresses with pink shoes, tan suits and Burberry ties for the guys and the colorful flowers by Fleurtacious Designs. Vinny from NonStop Music provided the music for the night and once Lauren made her way to the dance floor, she was there for the rest of the night. It was a great day for a great couple.

Here is Lauren & Christopher’s highlight video from their September 2010 wedding. Feel free to leave comments for the happy couple.
