Luci is really bubbly and laughs easily. Joseph is more reserved. They're opposites in some ways but similar in others: both are so driven, intelligent, kind-hearted and faithful. Luci and Joseph's wedding day was just so sweet from start to finish.

Some of my favorites memories include:

Luci's bridesmaids' excitement when they saw her in her dress.
The Tie Incident. Let's just say I got a lot of photos of Joseph attempting to tie his tie. To his credit, the tie material was a little tricky to work with.
Their memorable first look. Luci made Joseph sweat it out a bit longer when she showed up in a giraffe mask. Hilarious!
The wedding party. Shout out to this awesome group. They were all so great!
The rain-free portrait time!!! The clouds opened up just as soon as we were back inside.
Joseph's excited face. ;)

Lauren and Joe are two of those people that you feel like you've known forever, even if you've only known them a few months. (I could probably say that about all my couples!) Lauren is so sweet and warm and a little bit goofy (and hey, that's one of Joe's favorite things about her). :) And she's amaaaazing in front of the camera!

Joe is very chill but will tell you anything you want to know. And it just so happens that he plays rugby ... and suffered an injury days before their big day! He was still hurting by the time their wedding rolled around but you would never know it from looking at the pictures, right? So, he's also a trooper. He didn't complain one time!

And together? Together they're even better.

Lauren and Joe had a small Cuyahoga Falls ceremony with their nearest and dearest. I've come to adore intimate weddings because they're so personal and the bride and groom really have the opportunity to really celebrate with everyone they love. This wedding was no exception.

Thank you guys for asking me to join you on your big day! Let's hang out when you move to our neighborhood. ;)

Lauren and Joe had a first look at High Bridge Glen in Cuyahoga Falls, the spot where Joe proposed. Magically, the rain held off and the light was perfect.
