Lauren & Ryan's Vintage Wedding

Lauren and Ryan's amazing wedding has been featured on this blog several times over the past few weeks. (See here, here, and here.) We've been giving you a little taste of the incredible photos from Eli Murray Photography, and now you can see all of my favorites on our website. Usually I can easily narrow down my choices, but in this case I loved them all so much I had a very hard time cutting down the number!
Here are just a very few of my favorites:

The gown...

The bouquet...

My favorite image from their "first look"....
My favorite image from the wedding ceremony...
The first dance...
The party...and believe it or not, there was no alcohol served at this wedding!
And the incredible details...

In keeping with the the winter wedding, the bride and groom offered a coffee and hot chocolate bar for their guests that included coffee with a variety of delicious flavors, hot chocolate with marshmallows and peppermint sticks, and several flavors of cider. It was a hit!

Jessica,

This wedding looks so elegant! I especially love how it looks like that lush fabric was wrapped around and UP INTO her bouquet in the very top photos. Another job very well done!
