kate + derek // pa wedding photographer

Kate + Derek’s wedding was pretty rad. I’ve known Kate since we were little. Our moms are best friends, I call her mom Aunt, our brothers were besties growing up. So this wedding was special to me in a different kind of way – I mean, my parents were there. In fact, my dad brought me and my second shooter Samantha snacks at the reception. I didn’t ask for those snacks, he just brought them. HA.

Kate + Derek are so incredibly wonderful, their day was so incredibly wonderful, and I’m so incredibly lucky that I was able to capture it for them.

First up, Kate’s beautiful ring.

 

So, I’ll warn you. I was a little obsessed with her shoes..

 

Here’s Kate! Full of smiles!

 

I love this moment between Kate and her mom..

 

Heyyyyyyy Derek! Samantha, my second shooter, was busy getting these shots of the guys. She was amazing that day.

 

Now, let’s get married..

 

The new Mr. and Mrs. Belinksy!

 

I mean, how cute are the girls?! I was obsessed with their dresses. They even had pockets!

 

Oh, Kate. You’re gorgeous.

 

It’s Fall people!

 

My favorite..

 

 

Another fave!

 

When I put the veil over Derek, he was all “what is going on? I feel like I’m in a mosquito net.”

 

The couple that shotguns beers together, stays together.

 

Party time! How CUTE are these two?!

 

Samantha got this shot – how beautiful is this? Derek dancing with his mom while Kate and Derek’s dad look on..

 

Now the fun begins! I have no idea what size beer that is, but I’m gonna say ENORMOUS.

 

Kate + Derek, thank you so much for allowing me to capture your beautiful wedding day. It was amazing, you guys are amazing, and I love you both to pieces! xo, Lauren
