I’ll start with a funny story. Back on June 1, 2009, I was sitting in my living room watching the news. At the time, we were living in South Florida, having relocated there from Orlando several months before. As I was sitting there, I saw a lady on the news who looked familiar and recognized her as a news anchor from the channel I used to watch in Orlando. I didn’t think much of it but noted that I would be watching that news station more because I really liked her when we lived in Orlando.

A few hours later, I was checking my email when a engagement inquiry came in. I looked at the email address and immediately thought it was a joke. The email address was the name of the news reporter I had seen that very morning on the news. I kind of giggled and wondered what my husband was up to….thinking he was playing a trick on me. I read her email which asked about my engagement prices and availability. Since there was a phone number included, I realized that it wasn’t a joke and that the very news reporter I had seen THAT morning was indeed writing me. Talk about fate.

From the moment I met them at their engagement session on June 27, 2009 until their wedding this July, I came to REALLY like both Brian and Lauren. Lauren is so easy to chat with and Brian is very down to earth. Their love is true love and you can feel it by just being in their presence. They are generous and kindhearted. In lieu of wedding favors, they made a donation in honor of their guests to the ASPCA. How incredibly selfless and amazing are they? They embrace life and live it to it’s fullest. Meeting people like Brian and Lauren make my job one of the best jobs around, don’t you think?

A few things about their wedding posting:

First of all, how FAB-U-LOUS are her green shoes?? So great! The whole wedding was full of style and was just beautiful!

I love the look on her father’s face when he saw her for the first time. It made my heart just squeeze.

And then when Lauren and Brian had their first look before the wedding…..I and my second shooter, Ingrid Kaslik, we overcoming with emotion as we watched Brian fill with love and pride as he saw his soon-to-be wife before him for the first time in her wedding gown. The love was so strong…..

You may ask what in the world are the rings sitting on? Italian wedding cookies, of course!! Representative of the bride:)

I guess I could go on and on but I know what is most important are the moments captured that day. Here are just a few for Lauren and Brian… I adore you both and wish you a lifetime full of dreams that come true and love everlasting.
