I am super excited and quite honored to be able to share Lauren and Phil’s wedding with you. Lauren is one of the greatest, most genuine people you could ever meet. She is loyal to the core, always tells it like it is, can make anyone feel welcome, and has the most contagious laugh. Phil is her rock, the quite-until-you-get-to-know-him type, full of fun, a man of honor, and absolutely in love with Lauren. Together, they are a force. And on October 9th, they became the Swains.
Lauren and Phil, there are so many words, yet I can only find two: thank you. Thank you for the opportunity to witness such an outpouring of love, for trusting us to document your beautiful day, and for the gift of friendship. We wish you all the love and happiness in the world as you start this journey together, and cannot wait to see what the future holds for you…
Best. Bridesmaids. Ever 🙂
Gorgeous florals by Choice Weddings.
Lauren and Phil opted for a first look, which I highly recommend — it allows for more time for photos, a less congested timeline, AND some pretty killer shots of that ‘first look’ reaction. Can you feel the love?
Gah! So sweet!!
You may kiss the bride!
Shoutout to More Than Cakes for their beautiful creations. 
After a little mingling {Lauren and Phil visited EVERY table and welcomed EVERY guest!}, it was time to bust a move. Any boy did they ever. The DJ from JM Productions killed it. Killed it!
Like father….like son….
Do you know how hard it was for me to refrain from dropping my camera, grabbing that mic, and belting out the chorus to “Don’t Stop Believin'” with these guys??? If you know me, you know that was HUGE. 
Intense bouquet toss. Like a fourth quarter, no time left, 4th down pass to the end zone, notice the NFL-like vigor in these girls.
…and in a rather stark contrast, the garter toss {I love Phil’s expression}:
Happily. Ever. After.

Hey, great pictures, It was great working with y’all at the Tuscany. I’m the DJ you so nicely gave a shout out to. Can I use some of these pictures? Don’t want to copy them without permission.
