Brooke + Nick’s Laurel Hall Summer Wedding
This lovely couple had to pivot their early summer to mid August. They did not let that get them down! Brooke and Nick had a beautiful outdoor celebration at Laurel Hall. The joy, happiness, and gorgeous sunset on Laurel Hall made a perfect day for the newlyweds. They allowed heaps of time for couple portraits, too. Enjoy your honeymoon!!
Couple Q+A
Overview/Style/Favorite Moments/Funniest Moments
Brooke and I chose Laurel Hall b/c it fit our style perfectly. Once we visited the site for the first time, we were obsessed and knew we had to begin our lives together on that beautiful mansion on the hill. While we had to postpone our original date of 6/12 due to Covid, August 14th turned out to be one of the most beautiful days of the year. Overall the day went flawlessly and during the days following, we kept discussing how we wish we could relive it over and over again. Truly nothing feels better than being surrounded by your family, friends and all the people who support you!
We wanted to capture the class of the space and create an experience that people look back on for years and reminisce. The classic gold & Navy tones hit the mark and when you add in the great vibrant colors of summer flowers and a nice soft green it just all came together. Couple all those components with the beautiful back drop of a building like Laurel Hall and you accomplish an elegant night to remember!
Anecdotes about your gown? I dreamed of a low back and long train for my wedding dress and I succeed. In my daily life I’m more of a simple plain Jayne, I wanted to be the complete opposite and have a WOW dress!
– Favorite moments were walking down the aisle as Mr & Mrs Faris in front of everyone we love, the first dance and walking table to table to greet everyone who came to celebrate us. And, our first look with just the two of us.
