the story of
lauren + chris
and wedding photography + videography in Topeka
~*~
The day they met, neither could have anticipated what awaited them five years later. Or, for that matter, what they’d form in the time in between – becoming inseparable almost immediately and, with her daughter, falling naturally into life as a family.
When it came time to make that family status official, Lauren and Chris first considered tying the knot in Florida. But they ultimately decided it would be most fitting to marry where they met (which also happened to be where he proposed). Thus, this day was not only a beautiful start to their next chapter but also – on their fifth anniversary – a perfect celebration of their story.
Lauren and Chris: It’s obvious you picked the right date, the right place and (most importantly) the right person. We loved sharing the occasion with you and hope what we captured helps you remember it always!
