Some of my favorite getting ready moments with Lauren & Zachš
Everything may look perfect but not pictured was being evacuated from the building from a fire alarm for nearly 40 minutes right before the first look was planned to happen!
It definitely was not something anyone had on the timeline, but this couple was such great sports through it all. We rolled with it, made the most of the unexpected shift outside meanwhile making sure the couple didnāt see each other, and somehow still managed to stay ahead of schedule for the rest of the morning.
Wedding days donāt always go exactly according to plan and thatās part of what makes them so memorable. Now they have a pretty funny story to look back on and thankfully, plenty of beautiful photos that make the day look just as seamless as it felt once we were back inside. š¤
