Lauren & Michael Fritz had their Cylburn Arboretum wedding this past weekend. Almost all their decor and details was handmade or designed by the couple. They even designed their walk to the aisle from a secret garden in the Arboretum where they had their first look. From there we headed down the trail and bumped into a cat on our walk! Only these two would bump into a random cat on their wedding day. If you know these two you know on any given day they have upwards of 13 cats and 4+dogs that they foster and care for. I got to meet almost half their furry friends during their engagement session at their new home. I learned quickly what big hearts these two have for one another and animals that need a warm loving home. We arrived to their ceremony at the end of the trail, their guests were smiling and cheering. It was one of the best moments during a ceremony I’ve watched. They broke the mold, held hands, and walked together to the next step of their story, marriage. I can’t explain how special this day was to be a witness and capture Lauren & Michael’s Cylburn Arboretum wedding. The bridesmaids topped off the day with amazing hair do’s and dresses all hand picked by their VIP’s as they called their wedding party. Everything about Lauren & Michael’s wedding reminded me how important it is for couples to be as untraditional or traditional as they want to be. Create your special day, your way, and it will be that much more amazing!
