You may remember Lauren and Stanley from their engagement session in NYC back in June. I had so much fun getting to know these two. I can't say enough how wonderful engagement sessions are. It's a great "get to know you" for both me and my clients. After the engagement session, Lauren and I kept in touch over the months leading up to the wedding. We'd chat about wedding details and sometimes Lauren wrote me just to say hi. I can't tell you how much this meant to me. I loved hearing from them in general, but those extra check-ins made me feel special. Huh...I thought that was my job. =)

Fast forward to Lauren and Stan's wedding, I couldn't wait. We had a rainy, windy, cold day, but it all worked out beautifully. I kept telling them, "You can't see "cold" in the photos!" Judging by how the photos at the Lincoln Memorial turned out, I stand by my statement.

Lauren and Stan, I'm so happy to be passing along these photos. What a wonderful day for two wonderful people. Best wishes to you both.
