Weddings are absolutely beautiful, and often emotional.  Every weekend, I cannot believe how lucky I am to get to capture them.  I am not sure I have yet experienced a bride and groom more visibly excited, emotional, and joyful about their day.  You will see it in the first moments of the bride and groom…they have these beautiful large smiles and they never left their faces, unless exchanged for Lauren’s tears of happiness.  There were so so many beautiful moments to this day.

How Lauren wanted a first look with her dad and her brothers, and her dad began his “allergy issues” as he called them causing his eyes to water at that moment.  Lauren and Aaron requested their first look to be in the Sanctuary where they would soon wed, where they met, and where their love grew.  Friend after friend greeted each other before the ceremony with such genuine and loving hugs, as though they were truly brothers and sisters separated by a some time after college but as close as they ever were (which was just beautiful and made me miss my college crew so much).  Music from a full choir of those friends, and a few instruments that was out of this world.  Aaron always caring throughout the day about how everyone else was and what he could do to help them (which is a trait he so visibly got from his parents).  Lauren’s sweetest bridesmaids, sister, and mama just loving on her endlessly throughout the morning. And the veil her grandma and her sewed together that her grandmother helped her put in.  There were so many more. You will see! It was just an extremely special day, and I was truly so beyond honored to be a part of it.  There is not a nicer, more caring and more expressive couple in the world than the new Mr. and Mrs. Klein.

Soon to be brothers! See that dimple? You will not see it disappear… Lauren you are just so breathtaking! First look time! They are just so lovely together. Remember how I mentioned Grandma and the veil? Here she is! Lauren’s daddy couldn’t take his eyes off her as he walked her down the aisle.
Her joy!!! Their ceremony was the absolute highlight of the day for them, and I just loved that. These flowers by Kristine were absolute perfection…she is just one of the BEST florists!! Ever! My sweet friend Ramie came to second shoot this day with me and it was a lot to demand, including transportation almost 2 hours away, where I would get picked up to head on vacation…so thankful, Ramie!! 🙂 She took this and many other favorites! Lauren and Aaron, I just think you two are special. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your beautiful day- I cannot wait to cheer on your marriage!!!
