boho campground wedding, krislund camp, state college pa // meryl + tim

 

There aren’t enough words for the wedding day of Meryl + Tim, but I promise I will try my best. Everything about this wedding was warm and sweet, well thought out and laid back, and man – was it emotional! (I blame Tim for the speech and the tears.) There was so much love put into every aspect of this beautiful day that love just radiated from everywhere. You could feel it. I hope I captured even a small piece of that love here.

 

Friends, meet Meryl. She is the sweetest, easiest person to know. To know her is to love her.

 

Meryl is a designer, hence the AMAZING invitations.

 

MEET TIM! Nicest guy you could know, best speech giver I’ve ever seen.

 

These two got married at Camp Krislund, a camp near State College, PA that Meryl grew up going to and that her family helped start! How cool is that?!

 

Yes, they really are THIS cute.

 

Bridesmaids on point! Not surprisingly, Meryl’s bridesmaids were all SUPER sweet. I mean, what did I expect, Meryl is a LIGHT. Of courrrrsssseee she surrounds herself with the brightest.

 

Best looking guys this side of the Mississippi.

 

Runaway groomsmen!

 

MERRRRRYYYYYYLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

Camp Krislund is HUGE. Which meant these guys had their guests ride to the ceremony in style – in the back of a tractor wagon!

 

A pre-ceremony father-daughter moment, special thanks to my right hand gal, Mackenzie.

 

As Meryl was walking down the aisle, I peeked over at Tim and he was SO EMOTIONAL. They had a first look and he was MORE emotional at the sight of his wife walking down the aisle. The thing is, first looks don’t take anything away from *this* moment, where you are surrounded by your loved ones watching your beautiful bride take the steps toward your lives together.

 

Tim made me tear up at least 3 times this day. It was the most beautiful thing.

 

Meryl, you are the queen of the cutest faces.

 

MARRIED!!

 

In case they didn’t get enough birdseed launched at them, Meryl’s mama was there to give ’em some more.

 

The new Mr. & Mrs.!

 

We went out for a few more portraits since the scenery was THIS MOUNTAIN RANGE. NBD.

 

Then we headed in for some speeches where we laughed, we cried, and then Tim made us all CRY SOME MORE with the most perfect speech he made for Meryl.

 

And then they danced like maniacs because half of the party are real dancers and they put me and my dance moves to shame.

 

Meryl + Tim, it was an honor. Thank you so much for trusting me to document your love. Thank you for making me feel so welcome and for sharing your light and love with me. I adore you guys and wish you so much happiness in your lives together. xo, Lauren
