Lauren & Dan’s wedding was held at the lovely Cleveland Marriott, at Key Center.  I always find as the wedding gets within days, that I start remembering the first time we met the couple or what we did for their engagement session. I love how we get to know the couple and their family a little more with each meeting and phone call.  I can remember mentioning to Lauren that I thought her style was a bit relaxed and easy going…she laughed and said “no…not really” with a smile.  I now laugh as well. Studying medicine and planning a wedding, takes a driven woman!  So friendly and beautiful she is the perfect compliment to Dan.  Dan is always smiling and happy.  He gave a beautiful speech at the reception and mentioned that “people always asked why he was so happy” and he said “because he had Lauren by his side”. 

 These two are so special together.  

From the Katubah signing, to the ceremony under the Cuppah, to the grandest reception entrance we have ever witnessed, this was a special day to be part of!  Did I mention that entrance?!  The Ohio State Alumni Band, gave an outstanding performance….as they escorted Dan & Lauren into the reception ballroom!  The guest stood up, sang, danced and cheered for their favorite school and couple!  There wasn’t anyone left sitting as the band played all the favorites!  So glad that Lauren and Dan had For Real Wedding Films to help capture the exciting music and fun,in addition to the photography! 

Be sure to leave Dan and Lauren you best wishes!
