Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Clow!

I was first contacted by Lauren’s mother a couple months ago, explaining she was helping her daughter plan her wedding…since Lauren and her fiance we working hard on fixing up their sail boat, preparing it for their two-year adventure around the world. Yes…you read correct…TWO YEARS, SAILING THE WORLD! WHOA!
Lauren and Dallas are one amazing couple. Definitely MFEO! They have had a very long, and sometimes distant relationship and they have finally sealed the deal and will be taking a 2yr honeymoon. AMAZING!

Thus…the ring shot.

Apart from having conversation over the phone and a brief meeting Tuesday, I didn’t know Lauren and Dallas all that well. I learned quickly. They, and ALL of their friends and family, are 100% genuine and commited. The best way to describe Lauren and Dallas on their wedding day…was undistracted. That really is HUGE…there’s so much to do, things always run late, people are missing, jewelry is misplaced…nothing, I mean NOTHING distracted Lauren and Dallas from having the most sentimental and special wedding day.

This was a shot I snagged right after they had a special moment alone, seeing each other for the first time that day.

I actually didn’t notice these until an hour or so after being at the reception. Lauren and Dallas marked each table with one of their ports during their upcoming adventure. There was one other port, but unfortunately, by the time I got to that table, it was MIA.

Lauren’s talented friend, Julia, performed for their first dance as husband and wife. It was the most perfect first dance song.

This was fun…one last “freeze-your-butt-off” picture. I didn’t notice it at the time, but my husband pointed out today that it apprears the folks inside were peeping at us (thus the hand on the window above Lauren’s knee).

I believe Lauren told me that they leave tomorrow to start their adventure. I wish them the best best, and can’t wait to keep updated on their trip via their website.
