In a room filled with people, she noticed him staring at her from across the room. Introductions were done and Lauren started to have that feeling. That feeling that Richard was the man that she would one day marry. A week later they had their first date in Chicago. They only had a 2nd date before her work took back home to Cleveland. Despite the distance their relationship grew stronger and less than a year later she joined him back in Chicago for good. One year after that Richard proposed at the Drake and the couple started planning their wedding back in her home town of Shaker Heights Ohio.
While the heat and humidity presented a challenge on their wedding day, Lauren remained cool and composed in her stunning Amsale dress. Richard also looked pretty dashing with his suit and bow-tie. Their yorkie Jojo even made the trip to Cleveland for the wedding. In between photos at a private residence and the reception at Shaker Heights Country Club, we were sure to include Jojo in some photos. Thanks for bearing the toasty temperatures and helping us create some stunning images. What a delightful day it was!
