It was as if this day belonged in one of those fairy tales ever after books. All the small vignettes of the day were perfectly designed to grace the pages of a fable. A story that was later turned into one of the classic Disney-prince and princess films. It was evident that there were a slight bit of nerves, but there was so much celebration toasted with laughter before getting to the church. She is a Kate Spade girl, and he is the Nike Jordans guy that just made sense to pair them together. Lauren’s ladies in waiting made sure that her every care was alleviated with precision. John relaxed for a second letting it all sink in while his friends and family came to the St. Mary’s Church.
The moment came. Everyone who was part of their affair had made way down the aisle with smiles for days. John took a deep breath as the entrance door closed. There was shimmer in his eye. Although, when they opened the doors only to present his soon-to-be wife, his bride, he had the biggest smile. She stood at the end of the aisle making her way grabbing hold of her dear parents. Lauren met John with the same gaze and a bit of surrealness misted her eyes. This moment was brief but forever stays now.
They were surrounded by dear and loved ones. They were embraced in every opportunity. Their 16-person bridal party plus exclusive family sponsors were evidence that they are the couple to root for. Their love of basketball, the Warriors, traveling, and family was on display left and right. Lauren’s favorite Disney soundtracks serenaded every area within the Wildwood Acre Resort so much that it had an enchanting feeling. Though loving family and friends surrounded them, the toasts of John’s best friend and Lauren’s sister pronounced their unconditional support and admiration. Out of the dozens of trips, they might’ve taken to Disneyland and endless amounts of movies watched, they shy in comparison to that of the legacy they’ve inherited from their parents.
Lauren and John, we’re so honored to be the ones to have been there to document your wedding day. We know that wherever life takes you next, it will be more than a glimpse of a magical carpet ride. We so wished to have been with you and your loved ones again in your second reception! Thank you for your friendship, love and just being the best Warrior-loving duo a couple of wedding photographers could ever ask for!
