natalie + hunter // crossed keys inn wedding

Friends, are you ready for this day? I cried no less than 10 different times throughout the day, and my face hurt from smiling so much.

Watching Natalie + Hunter wed in front of all their closest family + friends was a honor I can’t describe. Every single person in attendance exuded love for these two, and it was hard not to get emotional about it. So I didn’t even try, I just immersed myself, so much so that Natalie’s mom said I felt like family all day. What a compliment!

 

As you can see, Natalie wasn’t excited AT ALL to get married.

 

Details on point!

 

 

I love moments like these, full of anticipation..

 

The cutest little ladies! They were so funny all day – here they were giving me their best rendition of twinkle, twinkle, little star.

 

Notes from your groom.

 

Natalie’s mom was so full of emotion all day. Right after their ceremony, she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said “I can still remember the day she was born”. It was so beautiful.

 

 

Natalie is the youngest of four. Here her older brothers are admiring her beauty, and clearly taking directions from the boss.

 

Most.Excited.Bride.Ever.

 

The beautiful ladies..

 

…and handsome dudes!

 

A no-look moment before the ceremony.

 

NATALIE!!! Girl, you slay.

 

The first time she saw herself as a bride..

 

Walks down the aisle are my favorite.

 

Oh, hey there!

 

This moment. So simple. So much love.

 

Here come the Venables!

 

Bridal party on point.

 

And those October skies, y’all.

 

A favorite.

 

First dances get me, every time.

And now we party!

 

And party they did.. ha!

 

Natalie + Hunter – thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your beautiful day. I have so much love for you both and I’m so glad that I got to document this part of your journey together. xo, Lauren
