It feels we were just walking around Freedom Park last October for Lauren and Mark’s engagement session! I have known Lauren since middle school, so getting together with her for the first time since and meeting Mark for the very first time at their engagement session felt like old times! It was like our friendship fell right back into place! Isn’t it amazing how good friendships can do that?! Yup! You’ve read that right! Lauren and I were friends in MIDDLE SCHOOL…so that meant two back-to-back weddings from middle school friends for me in October! It was quite a reunion month for me, that’s for sure!
Lauren and Mark’s wedding day was absolutely gorgeous! Their ceremony took place in Covenant Presbyterian…such a beautiful church located in the heart of downtown Charlotte…and their reception was held at Byron’s Southend…one of my favorite venues!! I love many moments from their wedding day, but my favorite was during Lauren and Mark’s first look. You could tell Mark was a mix of excitement with nerves, and he was SO anxious to see Lauren! She was absolutely breathtaking walking down the stairs in the church courtyard…it’s too bad Mark didn’t see her then! She came up right behind him and squeezed him tight! They stood there for a second and ask each other if they were “ready to do this!” When he turned around and saw his beautiful Bride, Mark was more than ready! He was ready to make her his wife!! It was the sweetest moment shared between them!
It was quite an honor to be a part of their amazing wedding day! I absolutely love Lauren and her wonderful family and it was so great to get to know Mark and his sweet family! I’m so incredibly happy for Lauren and Mark and I can’t wait to share their wedding day images with you! You’re going to love this wedding! Enjoy some of my favorites from their big day and congrats Lauren+Mark!
