Joseph and Lauren's wedding was definitely a day of fun and smiles. So many friends and family gathered to see this special couple be married. The sun set a few minutes after finishing ceremony time, therefore the weather was just perfect. Both bride and groom were cool, calm, and collected before the ceremony. Everything was simple yet beautiful!

First looks are always something I enjoy capturing. I love seeing the interactions between two people that they get to share without everyone watching. The pure happiness, love, and joy I see on their faces gets me every time. Joseph and Lauren were no different. I LOVED capturing the sweet interactions between the two of them. Joseph couldn't help but cry as he saw his sweetheart standing there in that beautiful, wedding gown. Lauren looked absolutely gorgeous. Her unassuming, quiet personality just added to the beauty and they stood and held each other and enjoyed the moment together alone.

So many sweet friends and family gathered to watch their ceremony. Bro. Watts was the officiant and did a wonderful job explaining how the love of God is shown in marriage and how He ordained marriage.

Joseph


Joseph is more Mr. Personality and during their engagement session, we both realized we had a few friends in common. He is someone that seems to try to make others feel better about themselves. Joseph was also calm the day of the wedding and enjoyed the moments before when he got to hang out with his friends. Joseph loves Lauren so much which is evident by his actions. He loves just to be near her. You can tell their love is so genuine and sweet.

After the ceremony, everyone ate some yummy food, enjoyed each other's company, and danced together. Joseph and Lauren left through a big sparkler tunnel of all of their friends and family. It was a wonderful night!
