First Lutheran Church Detroit Lakes Wedding Photographer

Michael & Lauren
First Lutheran Church Detroit Lakes Wedding Photographer

Lovely things happen when a pretty 5th grade teacher and a handsome member of the National Guard get married in their hometown by the lake. Michael & Lauren have had their eyes on each other since High School, re-connecting in college after sparks flew. Remember their engagement session?  Lauren’s deep love for summers at the lake came through in her choice of reception venue. Blending classic themes with vibrant color, the bridesmaids wore emerald green dresses that brilliantly set off the jewel-toned blooms in their bouquets. A garden party inspired reception at Holiday Inn Lakefront was elegantly arranged by I Do, by Lori. Although the couple now call the Twin Cities their home, they tied the knot in at First Lutheran Church in Detroit Lakes to be close to their roots. Both Michael and Lauren’s parents were married at First Lutheran Church, making it a location rich in legacy and heritage. This day was filled with love and laughter and was such a pleasure to photograph!

Congratulations, Michael & Lauren!
