Lauren and Luke | MARRIED!

It was a windy, drizzly day, but Lauren and Luke’s wedding could not have been more wonderful…They had planned an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Tappahannock river on the gorgeous Blandfield Plantation property by the hunting lodge…and there was no way a little rain was going to ruin their plans!! I love how calm these two stayed in spite of the rain…although I shouldn’t have been too surprised, because Lauren is actually an event planner..she deals with this kind of stuff all the time! They made the call last minute to go ahead with the outdoor ceremony..and can I just say, I’m SO GLAD THEY DID! Rain on a wedding day is lucky right?? Well, it was definitely lucky for us, because we got some beautiful ceremony images thanks to the soft overcast lighting!

I love Lauren because she just overflows with JOY…she has such a sweet and caring heart and is also so much fun to be around! Their whole wedding day reflected them perfectly because it was so laid back and relaxed..they just wanted to celebrate the fact that they FINALLY get to be husband and wife after dating since high school! I’m so excited for them and so happy that I got to be a part of their day…

I hope you enjoy my favorites!!

    In love with these pictures! Lauren looks beautiful as usual and Luke is perfect by her side =) I couldn’t make it to the wedding, so these pictures mean so much to me. I actually cried (happy tears) seeing them.
