Fairytale Lauxmont Farms Wedding

This fairytale Lauxmont Farms wedding was one for the books and holds a special place in my heart. As soon as a couple officially books with me, they become part of the family.

Once an HMP Couple, always an HMP Couple.

However, Alex and Erin may have had a slight leg up on joining the family. Growing up, Alex basically felt like family to me. His sister is one of my best friends, so I was always over at their house hanging out. Plus, I often referred to their parents as my second parents. From family dinners to countless sleepovers, they couldn’t get rid of me. Needless to say, I grew up with Alex over the years!

Oh, the stories I could tell.

Alex is such a goofball. Always quick to make a joke or break out in a funny face. You always know there will never be a dull moment around him. For some, it may be a lot, but for Erin it perfectly complements her. She can easily break out in a silly face competition, or she can get him on track and focused when needed. She loves every side of him, no matter the quirks.

It’s a perfect combination!

One thing I have absolutely loved seeing from Alex in his younger years compared to today is the love that exudes from him whenever he is around Erin. Always wrapping his arms around her. Giving her a kiss on the cheek or forehead. Grabbing her hand. It doesn’t matter, he just wants to show his love for her.

All the time!

It is the sweetest thing to watch. Plus, on their wedding day, I could basically stand back and just let them be themselves and get endless amounts of photos during their bride and groom portraits. It was seriously so special! I love when a couple’s unique relationship shines through.

Theirs was apparent in several ways on their day!

Erin and Alex decided to change things up slightly compared to the typical wedding day. Instead of just doing a private first look, they invited their close family to join in on the moment. In addition, they read personal vows to one another in front of them all, so they could hold them accountable for years to come. It was a first for me, but I loved how intimate it was. Plus, you get to basically celebrate your marriage twice!! After the intimate ceremony, they did the full one with all their guests out on the beautiful lawn at the Japanese Gardens at Lauxmont Farms.

It was a real life fairytale!

The sun was tucked behind a soft layer of clouds. Giving off the perfect glow for photos. The rolling hills over look the river below was just breathtaking. It is a perfect moment. Everyone fully engulfed in the happiness and commitments of the day!

This is one I will not easily forget

Erin, welcome officially to the Sload household. I know they will all take incredible care of you because they did to me. She easily fit right in and brings so much joy to the group! I have loved getting to know you and seeing your relationship with Alex constantly grow! I know this isn’t the end of me seeing you, so until next time!! I hope you enjoy these photos from your special day. I know it is bringing me so much happiness inside as I flip through them!
