I have an absolutely gorgeous wedding that I’m excited to share with everyone this morning. Ever since we arrived back from Lauren and Mike’s fabulous adventure we’ve been getting jammed with things so it took me a wee bit longer than normal to get this up, but I hope it’s worth it :) I’ll get right into it since I have well over 20 pictures…
I wanted to bring some bright colors into my shots whenever possible to give the tropical, destination feel
Having a hot bride always helps me look good!
For those of you curious, yes this is Lauren getting dressed out on the hotel balcony. I know some people must follow the blog thinking “his brides are nuts” and while partially true, we all work in unison to get “the shot.” The series of Lauren getting into her dress from the back with the amazing light and bright colored background make it oh so worth it my friends
Having the beach, the ocean, and some nice light makes for an awesome ceremony
The sun even peaked out to give us the look we wanted
I love shooting in a beautiful church… but uh yea this wins everytime
We always try to grab a couple nice individual portraits if time permits, and these two look great!
Now it’s time for the fun stuff!
We really had some great light to work with
The wedding wouldn’t be complete without one of our signature group shots
I know planning the details and decor can be especially tough for a destination wedding but Lauren did a great job
I wanted to leave with one last set that I really love. Money!
Thanks so much for bringing us with you to such a beautiful location and for treating us so well. We had an awesome time and it was great really getting to know everyone there and hanging out for the week.
I also want to thank our good friends Noel and Earl for being such awesome friends to hang out with (volleyball champs 4-ever!), and for recommending us yet another wedding. You two are the best!
Luke, these are truly beautiful! Love them!! Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see the rest from the party :)

Ahhh! Luke, these are great! I love the lighting, the colors (the coral wall when Lauren’s getting dressed is an awesome pop of color!), the mood that you’ve captured…I could go on and on! Lauren and Mike look beautiful and fabulous (intimate too~ love the final one of Lauren holding on to Mike’s jacket ~ very sexy)! I cannot wait to see the rest!

These photos are stunning! I don’t know what is more breathtaking, the bride or the background & scenery :) Love them and cannot wait to see the rest!

Gorgeous pictures! Lauren and Mike are such a beautiful couple and with this location and lighting, you can’t lose! Love the black and whites at the end, the last pic is my fave. I also love the one in color of Mike kissing Lauren on the cheek and of Lauren and her dad walking into the ceremony. The bridal party shot is great too, could the dress color be any more perfect for this setting? Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the day so that all of us who couldn’t make it get to experience it now. We missed this beautiful wedding as we just had another baby, but Luke, you will be happy to know she is a red head so I think we need to finally nail down a date to get a family photo shoot planned! Again, thanks for the beautiful memories of Lauren’s wedding, can’t wait to see more! If only I had known about you six years ago when we got married! You’re the best! Lauren and Mike are just a model couple too! :)
