Last weekend, we got the amazing opportunity to be Lauren and Brennan’s East Lansing Wedding Photographer team for the day. Lauren contacted us back in March and reserved her late fall date with us to capture her wedding at Michigan State University, and we knew right away that it was going to be great, but we didn’t know just *how* great it would turn out. It’s our last wedding for the 2017 season, and it ended with a total bang.

We arrived in East Lansing and were able to spend the morning watching the girls get transformed by their amazing glam squad, and take some fun bridesmaids photos in their cute matching robes. We loved that, even from the beginning, every single detail was planned out, from the customized and sentimental (yet humorous) hankies, to the gifts that the bride and groom gave each other that were unique and personalized to their soon-to-be-life-partner. Brennan gifted Lauren a beautiful pair of pearl earrings that matched her necklace perfectly, and Lauren gave Brennan a personalized beer mug, and a watch. We loved seeing the sweet emotion from Lauren when she read the card that Brennan wrote. In fact, there were emotions everywhere, and it was awesome. Her Dad cried when he saw her for the first time, as well as walking her down the aisle. Her bridesmaids were dabbing tears all day. It was seriously beautiful to witness, as well as photograph.

Lauren and Brennan were married (with Brennan’s grandfather as the officiant) at the Alumni Chapel on the Michigan State University campus. It was a sentimental ceremony, and was jam packed with people that, you could tell, adored them both. Afterwards, Brennan and Lauren surprised their bridal party with the grand announcement/secret that they had been keeping: we were going on the field at Spartan Stadium to take portraits. It was like watching a kid in a candy store; and the level of excitement was off the hook. And when we were finished there, we headed to the Spartan statue on campus for some photos as well.

We loved how their green and white theme really was everywhere, from the stunning floral to the up-lighting at their reception hall. Their small details, such as the large wooden cutout shape of Michigan in lieu of a guest book, really displayed their love for each other, as well as the importance of the college where they met each other. We had a blast photographing their wedding, and loved their bridal party Wobble dance, as well as the non-stop energy on the dance floor.

We hope you love this very small preview into the day we spent being Lauren and Brennan’s East Lansing Wedding Photographer team. We love being Eastern Michigan wedding photographers, and traveling to various locations across the state (and country!) If you’re in the market for a wedding photographer, we’d love to connect with you and learn more about your special day that’s unique to you and your fiance.
