Intimate Kiln Creek Wedding | Newport News Wedding Photographer | Dara + Lauren

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Dara and Lauren were both so nervous before the wedding. The nerves had nothing to do with whether or not they wanted to get married - that much they knew for sure - but after choosing the person they wanted to be with the rest of their lives, spending the biggest morning of their lives away from each other felt strange. Everything changed when they saw each other for the first time. They both relaxed and smiled non-stop, reminded of how certain they were of the promise they were about to make.

The whole day was both intimate and sweet, with only family and a few close friends present to witness their Mother’s Day wedding ceremony. Everything was hosted outdoors at Kiln Creek Golf Club, and the weather could not have been more perfect. Gold and blush details popped against the backdrop of the fairway, and Lauren’s dress had sheer side panels that were absolutely studding. Cocktail hour outdoors in 70-degree weather should happen at EVERY wedding, I’m convinced!

From start to finish, both Dara and Lauren walked into the day with joy and commitment. While the journey ahead will always be unpredictable, they knew they wanted to walk down this road with the other by their side, and that was enough for them. Congratulations, you two!
