Lara and Derek – First Look and Wedding Ceremony at Piazza in the Village

April 2, 2015

I absolutely adore this couple. Lara and Derek are so incredibly into each other and they both were definitely ready to see each other and get married. Lara was so cute while she was getting ready, telling me how she was constantly on the verge of tears (happy ones of course!) and that she isn’t normally a very emotional person. I told her she was allowed since it was her wedding day. Of course, Derek seemed to be in the same boat because once those doors opened up during their first look and he saw Lara for the first time, he also had some tears. Lara had her brother walk her down the aisle to meet Derek during their first look which I thought was sweet and such a special moment for them as brother and sister. Finally it was time for the ceremony to begin and as Lara came back down the aisle, Derek’s reaction was as if he hadn’t already seen her earlier and his face was full of joy and happiness. They had the biggest smiles on their faces throughout the entire ceremony. Please enjoy some of my favorites from their first look and ceremony and be sure to check back for the reception!
