Bob and Lauren’s Cleveland Wedding at Westwood Country Club

On a stormy day last summer I met up with these two adorable lovebirds and their puppy for one of my favorite engagement sessions of the year.   I was looking so much forward to their wedding and it didn’t disappoint!  I started the day at Lauren’s parents house and while it was a bit chaotic I immediately fell in love with her family who were so fun and sweet.  While Lauren was getting dressed (may I say how much I ADORED her gown!?) they were watching Father of the Bride, how perfect right???

The ceremony was so sweet and lovely!  Bob had the BIGGEST grin when he saw Lauren.  The moment when they see each other for the first time is always my favorite.  After the ceremony these two braved the brisk winds (well brisk for October, right now I think all of us would be outside in t-shirts for the same temps!) and we were able to get some great images.  The reception was so lovely and everyone had a huge grin on their face.  It was a perfect day.

Sometimes I get wild with the rings but sometimes my favorite ring pictures end up being the simple ones.

The dance floor was packed all night and I left with a huge smile on my face after spending the day with these two.
