Lauer and Stephen: the wedding

Lauer and Stephen: the wedding

I posted a few of Lauer and Stephen's pictures earlier, but I still wanted to post the whole day. The wedding was elegant and classic and not one detail was overlooked thanks to H&RS Event Planning. I started out at the Queen City Club where the girls were getting their hair and makeup done. When I came in, I found a roomful of girls in bright pink robes and then ... these fabulous shoes :) You know I can't resist a good 'shoe shot'.

The girls check out the day's schedule of events ...

Lauer's mom gets some lipstick to finish off her makeup ...
Christopher Chamber from Chambers-Packer Studio was there to do hair and put in Lauer's veil ...
I love the look on her face when she pulled the blusher down over her face ...
Lauer's beautiful smile ...


Getting the dress on ...

the shoes go on ...
and the final look is together ...


We hopped in the vintage car and headed over to the church ...
