Lauren & Mike - Williamsburg, VA
Posted on June 12, 2009
I am so thrilled to share my favorites from Lauren & Mike’s wedding with you! They had the most beautiful wedding in Williamsburg, VA last weekend. Lauren is honestly one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met, inside & out. Her & Michael are two extremely kind and intelligent people and make an amazing couple.
The wedding was held at the historic Wren Chapel of William & Mary. It was the perfect setting for this beautiful, elegant wedding. I love the way the congregation faces each other in the Wren chapel. And the service was beautiful…filled with teary, loving glances between Mike & Lauren. The reception was held outside in a tent at the Alumni House of William & Mary. They hired an extremely talented live band, The Hotcakes, and their energy was contagious!!
Everything throughout the day went so flawlessly because of Michelle, their wedding planner. She & Lauren planned beautiful details for the wedding, and the way they came together couldn’t have been any more perfect. And Janie is an absolute floral genius and did a fabulous job with all the flowers. They were the icing on the cake in all the photos. ; )
Here are my favorites!
Lauren looking lovely as ever in her beautiful coral getting ready dress
Lauren’s parents are two of the kindest people in the world. I LOVED Lauren’s mom’s face when she saw Lauren’s hair all done!
Lauren had 2 pairs of back-up shoes for her “uncomfortable” shoes…these are pair #2 ; )
I told you Janie was a genius. Here’s all the bridesmaids’ bouquets!
And a close-up of a bridesmaid & the bridal bouquet. Pay close attention to the ribbon on the bridesmaid bouquet & Mike’s tie!
We had a few minutes before the ceremony to get some bridals in the Wren building
Thanks to Chris for coming down and helping me shoot the wedding! He snagged that handsome portrait of Mike while I was with Lauren.
Lauren is stunning!
Chris shot this beautiful moment right before Lauren’s dad walked her down the aisle…while I was waiting for them inside.
Lauren was so, so, SO happy walking down the aisle looking at Mike
And can you see the tear in Mike’s eye as he watches his bride come toward him?
There were so many adorable glances between these two, but this one during a prayer was my favorite : )
Love how Mike wraps Lauren’s arms around himself!
Props to whoever designed the Wren chapel for this shot, I LOVE how you can see all the guests clapping.
Their wedding favors were these beautiful boxes of cookies!

I kept wondering why I hadn’t seen any new post from you…I had my reader set to your old site! I’ve been missing out.
