Romantic Autumn Country Club Wedding for Lauren and Garrison

 

Lauren and Garrison had such a heartwarming wedding day at Oakwood Country Club

Lauren and Garrison held their wedding and reception at the beautiful Oakwood Country Club. Being a wedding planner herself, the bride put so much thought and effort in to every element. I’m so happy for Lauren and Garrison!

Personal Touch

The couple’s envelope liner was a beautiful watercolor rendering of their wedding venue. The bride hand tore her own papers and tied each ribbon by hand. Guests were treated to hand written notes and place cards.

After final styling was complete, The couple each chose put on the final touches with just parents or siblings. I love taking a little time away from the hustle bustle of the day for a few sweet “final” moments before the first look.

The groom and his best man and father.

 

First Look

The couple used the time during their first look to privately exchange their vows under the midday sun during the peak of golden fall colors. I simply can’t get over the warmth and glow of the light!

I DO

Sun poured in, guests looked on lovingly, happy tears and smiles filled the room. The bride’s father officiated, making this extra special!

 
 

 

Dress Change

The bride changed into her reception dress and the couple had a few portraits taken alone while their reception room was being prepared.

After a perfectly plated dinner, toasts, and their first dance as husband and wife, Lauren and Garrison spend the evening dancing the night away with their guests.

Thank you to the incredible team of event professionals who made this day a success. Congrats to Lauren and Garrison on the most perfect start to their marriage, and thank you for trusting me to capture all the memories.
