Lauren & Meighan’s Folktale Winery Wedding in Carmel was such a sweet celebration of love and friendship. I met both of them a few years ago when I photographed Lauren’s brother’s wedding, and it was so much fun seeing them and the family again. Lauren & Meighan got ready together, hanging out with their sister in laws, moms, and their adorable pup Reilly. They got in their dresses separately, and then had an amazing first look together that was full of laughs and hugs. They had a sweet sweet ceremony in the Wine Garden that celebrated their friendship, families, and their union together. They put in a lot of thoughtful details into their day – they love games so they had a “guess how many kisses are in this jar” activity for their guests, and they had a wonderful arrangement of photos from their families that celebrated their unions and love. Kaitiln from A Pocketful of Plans went above and beyond to create a warm and inviting reception area for their guests, and they were serenaded by an awesome live band throughout dinner. My favorite part of their day was their entrance into the reception – they surprised their guests by dancing to the Cupid Shuffle, and everyone was on their feet dancing and cheering them on. It was so much fun to see how much FUN they have together, and I feel so lucky both ave been a part of their day.
