I can’t even begin to explain all this couple has been through… ALL our 2020 couples have gone through during this season of covid. So many dreams written down and re-written again, collaborating, brainstorming, navigating new normals, laughs, tears.. We’ve been counting down the days to see this beautiful bride with her prince charming. Her eloquence, patience, kindness, sincerity, thoughtfulness with his charismatic, charming, tall & soft spoken personalities are such a match.

I love the way he helped her down the stairs and looked into her eyes at the World War II museum. I love the way she smiled through everything. They are sweet souls. I’ve been honored to know them, watch them grow, see them purchase their first home together, move in together, and get to celebrate with their loved ones on their big day.

I’m so extremely honored. Intimate weddings should become the new thing. This couple had a larger guest count at Redemptorist because it’s so large and they could space out while wearing masks, but their dinner was small with family, more intimate and I really love this years weddings being this way. Such a blessing to be reminded of what this celebration is really about: YOU two with your families. Hoping this new intimate trend takes off in the wedding world.

This was a dream team working with this couple for sure (see below the images). Congratulations to Lauren & Brennan. Enjoy reliving this day we waited for for so long.
