Last year I had the pleasure to work with Lauren and Neal for their beautiful Fall wedding at Woodend Sanctuary. It was truly an honor to have been able to work so closely with Lauren and Neal as their wedding planner. These two are sweet, smart and a perfect match for one another. Their wedding included lovely seasonal blooms in shades of purple and white, and a wonderful team of vendors, including photographer Victoria Ruan Photography who captured all of the details. Their wedding was featured United With Love, earlier this week see part 1 and part 2.
Lauren and her bridesmaids started their day getting ready with make-up artist Mimi Tran and hair stylist Jewel Hair Design.
Meanwhile, Neal and groomsmen were getting ready together in a nearby suite. 
Prior to the ceremony, Lauren and Neal chose to do a “first look” photo and then take all wedding party and family portraits on the beautiful grounds at Woodend. Love this sweet moment captured by Victoria Ruan.
Prior to the ceremony, Lauren and Neal signed a Ketubah with family and wedding party members as witness. Their beautiful ceremony took place in the grove and blended both Lauren’s Christian background with Neal’s Jewish upbringing.
Victoria Ruan, did such a great job capturing the day. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a sunset cocktail hour in the front of the house, followed by the reception with Design Cuisine. Part 2 photos will be posted later this week.
