Lauren and John have known each other since high school but it wasn’t until after college that these two reconnected thanks to a friend’s wedding that Lauren attended as John’s “Plus 1”!  It clicked between them and they were engaged over two years ago on the Hoboken waterfront. Their wedding day was long-awaited and I was so happy for these two when it finally arrived last Saturday!

Lauren knew she wanted a fall wedding so our couple chose October and planned a timeless wedding with a traditional Catholic ceremony and ballroom reception. We love that Lauren and John planned for their portraits at Cross Estate Gardens, too! For their reception, Lauren and John chose the Olde Mill Inn for its rustic elements paired with elegant touches. Lauren added lots of personalized details to the day, which made the day all the more special. She incorporated one of her grandmother’s perfume bottles, created a signature drink inspired by their dog Foxy, and had an amazing donut wall from Duck Donuts!
