When Lauryn first asked me to shoot her wedding I was thrilled for several reasons:
1. Lauryn was one of my younger sorority sisters and everyone’s favorite.
2. Lauryn had a Friday wedding, and I love those.
3. I knew she and her fiance Scott, had a spark like no other, and I was ecstatic to document that.
Lauryn and Scott’s special day started off muggy, rainy, and gloomy. I had a feeling I was going to get soaked from the rain, or just drenched with sweat, and sure enough I did. Luckily the historic Davies Manor is less than one mile from where we live, so John, my trusty second shooter and loving hubby ran home and got a change of clothes for us both. You will see several of his lovely images throughout this post. It goes without saying he is the best of the best.
Luckily the sun made an appearance and shined its little heart out all day. Lauryn was just thrilled. Every bride deserves blue skies and sunshine. Lauryn and Scott’s wedding was very much so a DIY wedding, and I am ALL about a DIY bride. Lauryn’s trinkets almost put me in a happy coma. I felt like I was in a Forever 21 full of vintage jars, rustic keepsakes, and precious mementos. When I arrived Lauryn was out walking the grounds with her wonderful MOH Melissa, and let me tell you every bride needs a maid of honor like her. She ran her little heart out the entire day, and had such a great attitude. Hats off to you, Melissa.
Lauryn and Scott decided to keep the tradition alive and not see each other before the ceremony, and even though there ceremony wasn’t until 7:00, we had plenty of dreamy light for their portraits.
Before I get TOO wordy on here, I just wanted to thank Lauryn and Scott once again for the honor of capturing your magical day. You two are God fearing people, and I know that will make for an eternity of happiness.
Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Yackel!
Enjoy!
I loved all of Lauryn’s little details.

Lauryn’s books were my favorite.
Lauryn was munching on Funyuns while she was getting her hair done. Don’t ya just love her even more now?
Melissa, Lauryn’s MOH suggested that they all pray for Lauryn before we started the bridesmaid’s portraits, I love how they turned out.
Lauryn wanted to surprise her bridesmaids, these are just too cute.
You’ll notice half of Lauryn’s bridesmaids were brunette and the others blonde. This means war.
Most definitely the best groom/groomsmen ever. I love this city.
Lauryn’s mom, who now only lives with us through pictures. Lauryn’s stepdad sat this beautiful portrait in the seat closest to the aisle, and closet to Lauryn. I couldn’t help but tear up when I saw this.
I.love.this
The most precious man I’ve ever met.
How I love my Alpha Gams.
This couple on the far left is Jeanie and Steven. I am shooting their wedding next June!
John may or may not have caught me dancing when I probably shouldn’t have been. Oops!
What a dreamy way to exit. Congrats Mr. and Mrs.
Carol McGee - I love the beautiful wedding pictures from Scott and Lauryn’s wedding! It was one of the best weddings I have been to, and the love Scott and Lauryn have for each other is expressed so well in their wedding pictures!
Nancy McDonough - Absolutely one of the prettiest weddings ever, and the best thing about these pictures is the love shining on their faces.
