everything’s coming up roses

Lauren and Ryan were married this past August 14th at a beautiful chapel in England. For their two-week anniversary, friends and family joined them back in the states for a reception at the lovely Whetstone Park of Roses. Almost every detail was specially designed and/or handcrafted by the bride and groom and their friends and family, including the floral decorations (making those was one feat; transporting them quite another. What to do? Well, if you’re a Greener Grocer volunteer like Lauren, the answer is The Veggie Van):

Their beautiful table decorations also featured gorgeous images from their UK wedding by fellow WPJA photographer Steve Watkins:

All the trimmings in place, if was time to get into their finery and steal away with me for some portraits in the park before greeting their party guests…

It’s becoming a tradition about this time every year for me- insisting that I do have a life on the side and showing you some images to prove it. :) The kids went back to school last week, and I’m catching up with some personal photo and video mementos of another wonderful summer that flew by too quickly.

isn’t it romantic

What do you get when you bring together two beautiful young people madly in love, the early morning sun in July, a fabulous setting like Ault Park, and a photographer who loves documenting love stories? A fabulously romantic engagement session, that’s what. Congratulations, Stephanie and Justin! I am truly looking forward to covering your wedding this fall!
