Lauren and Zach

 

It is my return to the unofficial, but super amazing Toadvine Acres! The wind was blowing, and the rain managed to hold off until about 9pm. An entire keg was tapped out mid reception, and the dance floor was never empty. I feel so thankful to be welcomed back by this family because this was another fun night!

When I walked upstairs, there was this opening that allowed you to look out into the living room below. Lauren was seated at the edge of the kitchen, and somehow the openings were just perfect to pull off this shot

A lot of the same crew which means a lot of the same awesomeness.

Brittany from Beauty From Ashes doing the makeup alongside Amber from Glitz and Glam. On hair, we had Brennah (Lauren’s cousin) as well as Bobbi and Liz from Blown Away Hair Salon.

Lauren and her brother. So happy this shot came out. I know the girls were wondering what I was doing with a random flash going off next to them while I faced this wall.

I’m pretty sure Zach is a secret GQ model.

Absolutely did not want me to take candid shots of her, so I had to hide behind furniture to sneak capture her spontaneous spinning.

Whitney, your bathroom has amazing lighting.

First look with Dad. Not pictured here, shot number two within 5 minutes. Lauren was dancing the line of tipsy and drunk by the time formal portraits hit. I was super worried she was not going to make it through the entire night. I should have known she was a professional.

Sunflowers planted by Dad just for the wedding.

Lauren kept saying that she probably went a little overboard with the length of her train. You say long, I saw epic.

Always and forever a fan of doggies at weddings.

Favorite beer chug entrance ever. Hulk smashing two cans open.

I’ll give kudos to the bridal party for throwing the confetti so well.

Let me remind you, this is not an official wedding venue. This is the Toadvine backyard and pole building.

Caterer by My Turn To Cook, and the flowers are by Friendly Florists.

If you want the dance floor on fire, get DJ Hector. This was another dream tea of vendors. His wife was also the bartender, and Chase provided video coverage for the day.

Favorite dancer of the night is none other than the cousin hairstylist. She was just so energetic and animated on the dance floor. There were so many close seconds though. She was just that extra little pepper to season the night.

It’s only fair to stick around for payback after you demolish your wife’s face in cake.

Battle of the booties.

For a quiet guy, Zach was a super convincing Magic Mike.

Cassie requested that her dancing photos not be with her mouth wide open like last year.

That deep V we all love.

One of my favorite dancing photos of the night.

This was another dream wedding to photograph. I am positive Lauren can drink the majority of the guests under the table, and I did not expect Zach to be a sleeper on the dance floor. All I know is, I want another Toadvine wedding.
