Lauren & Joe | A Culpeper Center Wedding
This wedding has been a long time coming… and it was full over some seriously amazing people. Lauren and Joe have been together since high school. They are 100% each others best friends and love of each others lives. Lauren is the niece of my sister-in-law Megan. One of the many reasons I knew Megan was a good fit for my brother was the large family she comes from…. They are seriously the sweetest people. They made me feel so very comfortable and like one of their own. Lauren and Joe were extra loved on their wedding day. Their families combined made up A LOT of people. Not an empty seat in the church and a reception full of happy tears, laughing, dancing and some amazing photo-boothing. Joe and Lauren were raised in the small town of Culpeper. I had only been out that way a handful of times and was VERY pleasantly surprised with I arrived at The Culpeper Center. Local photogs and vendors – you MUST check this place out. So, so beautiful! Enjoy my favorites below. Huge thank you to Heather of Heather Adams Photography for second shooting the day with me! Congratulations again Lauren and Joe! 
A Rams garter for Joe!
Custom cufflinks for Joe… Lauren was full of surprises for her husband!
Most of the girls in Lauren’s life involve cheer of some kind… Cheerleading bows for her bridal party!
Couldn’t get enough of the mirrored tables in this place!
Lauren reading her letter from Joe and opening her gift….
Custom knives for the boys!
Not a dry eye in the house! Lauren’s dad, Mitch, seeing his daughter for the first time that day.
We headed out to downtown Culpeper for some portraits! LOVE this one of Lauren!
Lauren’s bridesmaids looked so classic. Loved the black and white pallet!
Looking good, Joe!
Another favorite. How happy is this girl?!
Time to get married!
This church was very small… and I was standing very close to Joe. When the doors opened and Lauren appeared…. I heard, as clear as can be, Joe say “wow”…. Perfection.
MARRIED!!!
Love, love how happy these two are!
Adorable.
Frame favors that served as a place card and a way to save your Photo Booth image. Love this!
Hidden football for Joe!
First dance!
I know I say it every time… but it tends to be my favorite part of the day. Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances!
PARTY!
Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Reser!!!
