Lauren and Jon’s wedding day at the gorgeous Belmont Manor was simply amazing! When I first chatted with them back in the spring, they told me about their plans to have birds at their wedding – a hawk delivering the rings during the ceremony (Yes! Scroll down to see more images of this, you don’t want to miss it!) and a baby owl guests were able to take pictures with during the cocktail hour. Below you can see some of the highlights of their beautiful day!

 

First look with her bridesmaids. Capturing these moments are some of my favorite parts of the wedding day! Love their reaction upon seeing Lauren in her dress!

First look with dad. So sweet!

And first look with Jon. One of my favorite parts of the day!

How seriously adorable is their pup, Bella?!

Best man “forgetting” the rings and a hawk delivering them is one of the most awesome things I’ve seen incorporated into a ceremony!

      

           

Congrats, Lauren and Jon!
