To me, Lauren and Ryan are the perfect "early summer" couple - laid back, breezy, calm and cool.  Their June wedding at United Methodist Church in Hebron was just that.  The temperature was perfect and we we're able to go to the beautiful Ogden Gardens as well as the rip roaring, open air reception at the Valparaiso YMCA Pavilion.

The day started at His and Hers Salon with lots of laughter and continued to the church where Lauren got into her beautiful dress.

The couple had a private first look inside the church before letting in friends and family for the ceremony.  It was a great moment as Lauren came down the aisle and Ryan slowly turned to see her for the first time on their wedding day.

The church was packed with well wishers as the couple were married.  A crowd waited outside afterward to salute the newly married couple and send them off.

After family photos inside the church, we stopped by Ogden Garden in Valparaiso where we took fun wedding photos with the bridesmaids and groomsmen as well as romantic pictures of the bride and groom.  Lauren and the girls showed off their "epic swag" while Ryan sheepishly showed the bridesmaids his "bling".

The wedding reception was held at the open air venue of the YMCA Pavilion in Valparaiso.  The couple danced in front of the Mr. and Mrs. sign that was handcrafted by the groom.  As night approached, the dance floor heated up.  The bride and groom even got in a quick corn toss.
