Laura and Nate are such a relaxed couple I knew that their wedding day would run smoothly and that it would be all about their love and the excitement of their new marriage. They had a casual daytime wedding at St. Matthews church with their friends and family, followed by an equally casual afternoon reception. It was a beautiful day in Southern California, perfect for an outdoor reception and a wonderful day for getting married 
I was so happy to have my friend Erika along with me to help document their big day, thanks so much for coming down to help out!
First up for the photos…. a few getting ready details. Laura wore a pair of her grandmother’s earrings and a vintage veil…
She also had a gorgeous and unique vintage 1950′s dress that she found online. I couldn’t believe how perfectly it fit her.. it was like it was made for her!
Getting the final touches… adding the veil!
Laura has amazing taste in flowers… check out the gorgeous orchids!
A little fun with the bridesmaids before the ceremony…
The handsome groom looking all ready to go!
With the boys…
And the one of the little attendants as well
The church was beautiful on the inside and the ceremony was complete with some gorgeous instrumental and vocal performances. Something about the inside of churches just makes all music sound that much sweeter!
Once the ceremony was over I think everyone was a little bit relieved… and definitely a bit livelier
Laura and Nate asked if they could take a few of their portraits on the playground… and who am I to say no?! These were so much fun!
We also got a few of the “standard” shots as well… just to be safe
After the reception they made their getaway into a sweet vintage Ford… I think Laura was glad to be a married woman on her way to her honeymoon!
