I’ve done small weddings, intimate weddings, weddings at restaurants, some that were basically cocktails parties with nuptials, backyard weddings, town hall weddings and even an elopement. None of those were as small as Lauren and Andrew’s though. In the middle of quarantine Lauren and Andrew had an extremely secret ceremony with only 8 people in our friends backyard. This day was incredible for a couple reasons, first off Andrew is dear friend of mine and I couldn’t have been happier for him. Secondly, I almost can’t describe the happiness of just feeling normal for a day. This was about the point when we all hadn’t left our homes for two months. Everyone involved was responsible, adhered to social distancing and quarantining guidelines so after months of not seeing anyone we all got to spend some time together, laugh and celebrate the love of our friends. We all did what we had to do so Lauren and Andrew could have their wedding and they’ve thanked us a million times already but I want to say thank you to them for having their wedding, giving us some hope and reminding us how incredible our friends are. I love you guys and I can’t wait for the real deal wedding!

I was incredibly happy to be involved in their amazing wedding. Big thank you to Matt Branscombe of BSC Studio for offering his backyard and Bryan Avigne of Bryan Avigne Photography for offering his home for the bride prep and being an incredible JP.

Cheers - Will
