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.

The ensemble was perfect for her."][/caption] [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="900" caption="A small bunch of calla lillies (my favorite!) made for a fantastic match with her modern and simple theme."][/caption] [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="900" caption="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.

Exquisite!"][/caption] [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="900" caption="Look at that million dollar smile!

They knew their guests wouldn't want to be pressured to dance, so everyone mingled and had a great time.  The garden room at the Mendenhall proved to be a perfect location."][/caption]

Sharon & Scott’s wedding day was an amazing interfaith affair at the Mendenhall Inn.  I just love when couples creatively intertwine their faiths, creating a truly unforgettable event.  The day was a tad on the hot side, but Sharon and Scott were cool as a cucumber and oh so into each other that it seemed they hardly even noticed the heat!  Below are some images to tell the story of their wonderful day and if you missed their engagement photos you can check those out here.

Sharon got ready at her parents house, along with her four sisters, who were all bridesmaids.  (Big family of girls!)

Now THAT is some bling!

Sharon was truly a radiant bride!  Just look at that million dollar smile.

Such a sweet moment!

Well now.  That’s some family initiation ritual.  Welcome to the family, Scott!  LOL

Such a happy pair!

The Grand Ballroom at the Mendenhall Inn.

This cake topper is one of my favorites that I’ve ever seen.  So sleek and modern.
