the story of
laura +john
and wedding photography in St. Joseph & Gower
~*~
The initial steps that led to this day were unassuming: That year they shared the same small school, but didn’t meet. Then, the day they did meet, almost a decade later – at a bar where he was dressed in his St. Patrick’s Day best. An introduction then was inevitable (He made sure of it), and just as they soon discovered the connection from their past, it didn’t take long to see their futures would be connected too.
Their wedding made that official in a beautiful way that also mixed in a lot of fun (not to mention a s’mores bar). In the words of the bride: “We just want everyone to have the best time!”
Laura and John: We definitely had a great time capturing it all! And we hope these photos help you have fun reliving it.
