Lauren & Emily's Backyard Wedding

This was my 2nd wedding back after having Rose. It was my first travel wedding with baby (Danville, CA!). It was also my cousin Emily's wedding (It was her wife Lauren's wedding too.) :)  That made this one extra special - Emily & I were born just a few months apart - our mamas were pregnant together and both loved the same baby name - it's always been kind of a cool connection for me.
I was SUPER-EXCITED to get to photograph their wedding, to have it be the first wedding that Rose attended, to get to see lots of wonderful family members - so many happy things!
Lauren & Emily are an amazing couple, a pair who truly make this planet a cooler place to live in. I loved that Lauren wore her mom's wedding dress (it is FABULOUS!) I loved that friends and family were a huge priority for their wedding day. I loved the family style seating, the awesome DJ, the Hora, their perfectly laid back blend of non-traditional and traditional wedding elements - Definitely one of my favorite summer days this year!  Emily & Lauren - I love you guys! Thank you for including me in your awesomeness!
