Teddy and I were recommended to Lauren and Corey, by Lauren’s adorable sister Sarah, and super cool fiancee Todd. Teddy and I are going to be photographing their wedding next year, and we are so thankful that we were recommended by them; it makes us feel very special. Lauren and I had the opportunity to spend some time together a couple of months before the wedding when she had photos done to surprise Corey, and it was an instant friendship.

Their beautiful Old Hollywood theme wedding happened at the Halifax Club, in downtown Halifax, and while the girls were getting dolled up, with Nicole Smith (MUA) of Margot Beauty Inc. and Becca White (hair), Teddy and the guys were exploring beneath the city in the underground tunnels that once-upon-a-time were full of hustle and bustle delivering all sorts of frowned upon things back in the day. The looks on their faces in some of these photos, they were like kids in a candy store. Who am I kidding, if I had of been the one down there with them, I would have been a giddy school girl.

Lauren looked absolutely timeless, and so very glamorous in her fitted lace wedding gown (will provide designer details in an update). A sweet little detail about the dress, Lauren’s mother Marlene sewed a piece of lace from her own wedding dress, into the back of Lauren’s dress; it was such a wonderful touch! Corey and his entourage, looked so handsome and polished, I loved the crisp fitted black tuxedos!

The day was the sunniest we have seen since welcoming Spring, so we had to be creative in finding shaded places to have fun with photos. Lauren’s beautiful flowers were courtesy of Charlotte from The Flower Shop, she makes such lovely bridal floral. Side note, I had no idea that Victoria’s Secret had a bridal collection, if you are getting married, you need to check that out!

As you can see from all the PDA at the end of the night, Lauren and Corey had a pretty interactive kissing game in order to make them lock lips. SO MUCH LOVE! Their families and friends were tremendously wonderful people, and treated us as if we had been part of the gang since the beginning. It truly makes us feel warm and welcomed, and in turn brings out the best in our images of the day.

Lauren and her father had a Father-Daughter first look, which is one of my absolute favourite things of all time, and always make me cry. It is a moment that I often suggest, because it gives the a father and daughter time together to take a deep breath, and cherish the thought of what the magical day will bring.

The party went on until the club turned on the lights, and it’s no doubt, Scott Rideout of True North DJs was spinning the music that night, keeping the dance floor heavily populated. He also surprised Lauren and Corey with a projected monogram on the wall over head of the head table, he is AMAZING!

Thank you so much Lauren and Corey, for being such loving and kind people, we look forward to growing our friendship, and to seeing you and your families again at Sarah and Todd’s wedding next year!
