Chase + Lauren’s journey started almost 8 years ago.They met their junior year of high school on their first day of algebra! They sat right by each other…and then again in Chemistry! Speaking of chemistry, their “chemistry” was instant. So instant in fact that their teacher SEPARATED them because they couldn’t stop talking.
Within the past eight years, they have been through it all. They’re the perfect example of how opposites attract but according to Lauren, they’ve started to rub off on each other for the better over the years.
After Chase proposed, I had pleasure of shooting Chase + Lauren’s engagements and Lauren’s bridals, and now I’m stoked to share their wedding photos!
Chase + Lauren’s wedding could be described as romantic, classy, and elegant.
Lauren is from Avery Island originally so her location was the first start to an intimate and personal day for she and Chase. They loved the rustic feel of getting married on the island and the romantic environment the setting created. They used tabasco barrels at the alter and Chase and Lauren’s father built a table top to lay across the barrels (made from Lauren’s grandparents’ cypress wood.) They hung chandeliers over the ceremony spot and incorporated so many unique details to make their day special.
Lauren says her favorite wedding detail was her grandmother’s bible. It’s fragile and beautiful and meant to world to Lauren. Her great-grandmother gave it to her grandmother on her grandmother’s first birthday and has kept it for Lauren. 🙂 Lauren says that although her grandmother is gone now, while living she taught her lots about life, religion and how to overcome hardships.
I had such a wonderful time photographing this special day. There were a ton of special, intimate moments and I’m happy to share! Congratulations to the newlyweds!!!
