Lauren+Brian - Paris... Illinois of course!

Beautiful day, happy couple! I was totally loving the fluffy clouds in the bright blue sky and Lauren's contagious smile! Lauren was a suite mate and sorority sister of mine and I was so excited to be the one to capture her big day. Props to Anne Ruthman who did a stellar job with their engagement pictures before she made her move out east. It's always interesting to know so many couples stories and how different they all are. There surely is no "one way" to find your true love. Lauren and Brian's relationship started over simple notes of encouragement from Lauren when Brian was serving overseas. One thing led to another, he came back to the states and they became an item. Then comes the wedding bells.

They both have super fun families, which made the day quite entertaining. Lauren's family even did their "special cheer" after their family pictures. The full mass ceremony was pretty neat in that Lauren and Brian participated several different ways, including leading prayers and serving communion.

Streamers exploded as they made their getaway from the church. We took a fun stop for a hole of putt-putt where Brian actually hit a hole in one! The reception hall was packed full and ran smoothly thanks to Jeanette at Simple to Elegant in Terre Haute. The newlyweds are enjoying Mexico right now before coming home to Paris. Congrats guys, and thanks so much for having Tim and I share in your day!
