Riding motorcycles and attending track meets is one of Diego’s favourite hobbies, and Lauren has always been supportive of his sport. However, when a girl volunteers to go with her man to a track meet which required camping out in a tent under the pouring rain, on one of those days that even his buddies would bail, you know it’s True Love. Lauren earned a special spot on Diego’s ride after that outing
It’s funny how us girls like to leave little mementos on our other half’s vehicles. For me, it was a fluffy yellow plush bunny dangling near the dashboard of Derrick’s Honda Civic. For Lauren, it was a heart shaped sticker on Diego’s motorcycle. I guess it’s just our way of telling the world “he’s mine”.
Lauren and the ladies got ready at the Homewood Suites by Hilton (Hwy 7 and 400), located fairly close by to Hazleton Manor. When we first arrived I knew we must do some photos in the hotel lobby because it was gorgeous and I loved its dramatic plum tones and large drum shade chandeliers. I wonder if Lauren took into consideration the hotel’s decor when choosing where to stay because she is an interior designer You’d be surprised what little things I get excited over as a wedding photographer, in this case I was stoked because Lauren is officially our first bride with a Birdcage Veil, and I couldn’t have imagined a more fitting look for her! The custom made white cape was also a unique addition that kept her nice and warm outdoors. Speaking of exciting, did I mention that Lauren’s dad looks like Harrison Ford?
The weather was pretty cold that day, but we managed to spend a few minutes at a neighbourhood park for some quick bridal party photos before heading to Hazelton Manor. The hall was beautifully decorated and I would’ve expected no less because a lot of the details were meticulously designed by the couple themselves. Shortly after the entrance and first dance, everyone joined in on the dance floor and lifted Lauren and Diego up on chairs, spinning round and round dancing in circles. We literally got right into the heart of all the dancing to get some shots of them up in the air, it was actually quite fun trying to catch that!
Congratulations Lauren and Diego on your special day, and Thank-You Anitha and Joe for referring your best friend to us, it was great seeing all the familiar faces again
The fun continued into the night with ballroom dancing, a husband performing rap on stage while his wife boogied to the beat, and “Party Phil” (inside joke?
