The couple was so lovely we did a more relaxed after wedding portrait session. We got such a kick out of Lauren’s converse sneakers!

Lauren looked absolutely radiant in a delicate lace gown by Monique L’huillier and Christian Louboutin open toe pumps all purchased from the bridal department of Saks Fifth Ave in NYC.  The gorgeous blue topaz & peridot ring was a gift from Lauren’s grandmother.  Susan Brinson of Studio Brinson in NYC created all of the menues, place cards, and CD covers.  The girls wore Amsale in a rich shade of chocolate.

Lauren’s parents recall thinking of this day when building their grand staircase.  With four daughters it will be the backdrop for many special days!

The ceremony was also in New Vernon at The Church of Christ the King where the couple made a dashing exit in an antique Triumph convertible.
