Lauren and Justin got married Saturday at the Bilmar Beach Resort on Treasure Island, after they journeyed to Florida from Washington state. They met in college at Florida State University and moved to the other coast for Justin’s job and for Lauren to work on her PhD! They are self proclaimed home-bodies, like to go hiking, and enjoy just about anything outdoors as long as they are together to experience it! I have never met two people who compliment each other more- they truly were made for each other! The couple chose to have a First Look, allowing them to get out any nerves before the wedding ceremony and of course spend more time with their family and friends at the cocktail hour before the most spectacular Florida sunset. While it had stormed the day before the wedding (and even rained a bit the morning of), both the bride and groom were calm, cool, and collected (and as their wedding photographer I knew we had it made because sunsets after a storm are the BEST!). Lauren’s wedding dress was custom made by her mom’s friend and was so perfect for her- I love when couples add such special touches….just check out the characters on their wedding cake and the beautiful chuppah (the Jewish canopy) that they got married under! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and health, Lauren and Justin. Mazel Tov! xo
