Lauren & Adam | Mendenhall Inn Wedding

As you already know from their engagement session, Lauren and Adam are one the most laid back couples I’ve ever worked with.  After having such a great time (and great results!) with them for their engagement session, I was very eager for their wedding.  Lauren and Adam decided that being formal doesn’t have to forego being casual at the same time.  The Mendenhall Inn proved to be the perfect place for their sunny outdoor ceremony and dinner reception.  Take a look at their photos to see more of their fabulous day.

Lauren's engagement ring is one of most unique ones I've seen. I've always been afraid of tension mounts, but this one works beautifully, while incorporating Adam's irish heritage in the form of a horseshoe from the side.

Keeping with Lauren's simple and modern style, she chose an uncomplicated dress with no train or heavy beading, matched with simple shoes. The ensemble was perfect for her.

A small bunch of calla lillies (my favorite!) made for a fantastic match with her modern and simple theme.

Lauren's everyday style is effortless so she settled for simple makeup. I love how her sister is watching over her shoulder as the makeup expert.

This Swarovski bracelet (which Im in LOVE with!) was a gift from Adam.  If you look closely, its actually Disney - Cinderellas carriage and shoe.

The ceremony was held in the outdoor courtyard at the Mendenhall Inn.  Perfect for a smaller number of guests.

I definitely wanted to use these stairs in some way, as soon as I laid eyes on them.  I love the result!

Lauren & Adam were very intuitive to their guests personalities, leading to a very laid back dinner reception, with only a pianist playing in the background.  They knew their guests wouldnt want to be pressured to dance, so everyone mingled and had a great time.

Thanks so much, Lauren and Adam, for inviting me into your lives to document this beautiful day for you!  To see more images from this wedding, hop on over to our MDP Facebook page and become a fan. :)
