This quiet, pretty blonde with piercing green eyes spoke softly at the Bridal Extravaganza. With all the bustling around, I leaned in to hear what she had to say. I remembered her because the venue was built by an active photographer in the industry. The fact that she reached out to me instead of going with someone for the sake of ease meant so much to me. Then I found out that she, too was an xray tech – what are the odds!
I finally got a chance to talk more with Jonathan and meet his son, Carter when we all met for drinks at the new Hotel Zaza in Memorial City. The fact that he cared to share his opinions and what he wanted on the wedding day was very refreshing. He was engaged in the planning from the beginning and the most important thing to him was to make Lauren happy.
Lauren was sitting with ease and taking the whole day in when I arrived on that very warm June afternoon. No nerves, just ready to marry her love. In front of his guys, Jonathan was all laughs, but in one little moment before the ceremony, he was peeking out of the curtain at the guests who were arriving and just had this soft smile that I caught. They danced the night away, with Carter getting DOWN with his moves near the end and then finally, as the night ended, they flew off in their Audi R8, ready for the honeymoon ahead. <3
