Lauren & Joel
Lauren and Joel were married on a peninsula off the coast of Alabama. It was a quaint, little spot that offered so much beauty through the water, white sand and homes that were spread throughout. I would go back again in a heartbeat, for sure. Joel and Lauren had a rather picturesque day as you will soon see. The only hindrance was the cooler temperatures/wind that came in just before the ceremony…that we could’ve all done without, lol. 😉 Other than that, I would say their day was perfect.
There is so much beauty found between a couple in love. I am always amazed at how God can bring two individuals together that will result in a life spent together. Lauren and Joel have a unique story with how they met, but the one detail that leaves me in awe is this…Joel’s parents are missionaries in Africa. Lauren’s family housed missionary families, while on furlow, when she was growing up. Come to find out, Lauren’s family has been praying for Joel’s family for years…long before they ever knew of each other. I know that story will be shared for generations to come-love it!
I have to say a big thank you to my best friend, Shelly, who joined me for this adventure. We have many stories of this trip that will be long remembered. She was a compliment to the documentation of their wedding day and I appreciate her willingness to join me. Jeremy and I have shot for many years now, and I have only documented one other wedding solo from him. So, to have had someone there that can understand my craziness and go with it (in addition to Jeremy) was a blessing. Thanks friend!
They had a very sweet, first meeting on the balcony of the beach home.
This interesting piece washed to shore…made for some fun photos.
I,
obviously, had a hard time narrowing down the photos of the two of
them. Lauren…you were stunning!!! They had a very small wedding party and guest list which gave us
some fun time with the two of them.
I mentioned before, it was windy…and, I mean brutally windy.
Immediately after the ceremony they ran into the tent (that was set up as a wind block)…captured just a
few photos before heading out.
and Joel had a very small dinner reception following the ceremony.
Soon after dinner they headed off to New Orleans to leave for their
honeymoon…such a beautiful day.
Thanks for choosing us to capture your day, Lauren and Joel. It was such an honor…much love to you both!
Wow…the pictures look beautiful! It was definitely an adventure, but well worth it! Joel and Lauren are such an incredible couple and despite the freezing wind their day was amazing! Thanks for the shout out, Mel! You know I’d shoot with you any day!
