Lauren and Mike dated in high school, broke up and reconnected two years ago and reignited the good ol' chemistry between them. Lucky for me, we were allowed to do a little photo shoot in their high school where they dated.
Lauren and Mike's wedding was filled with sweetness, tears, admiring glances, and lots of laughter. One of the highlights of the evening occurred when Mike's brothers and sisters did a little rendition of "Just the Two of Us" by Will Smith with aton of few changes to the rap lyrics. The girls dancing behind them were hilarious!
I also had the honor of seeing one of my future brides and grooms, Elizabeth and John, at the wedding. Elizabeth is Lauren's cousin and danced her little heart out (she's one of the bridesmaids in green in the last photos). Her wedding in October is going to be so much fun.
Lauren and Mike's wedding was also fun to photograph and I left the wedding with two lasting impressions. Lauren is one of the sweetest people I've ever met and she is one lucky lady to have a husband who looks at her the way Mike does. *Sigh*
Thanks for having me and my second photographer, Maggie Rife, document your lovely day.
