Lauren & Sean’s June wedding at Grounds for Sculpture was truly one-of-a-kind with a celestial theme that incorporated unique and stylish details along the way. We already knew they their day would be amazing, since we captured Lauren’s brothers wedding almost 6 years ago! We loved getting to know Sean, and all of their friends and family throughout the wedding day. The couple’s unforgettable wedding day was stylish, unique, sentimental, and gorgeous, just like the bride and groom!

Unique, Celestial Details for a Modern Bride

Lauren’s Ysa Makino bridal gown from Kleinfeld Bridal was the perfect mix of Modern, Class and Unique. It was the perfect dress for the perfect bride!  Her Worthington heels with just the right amount of rose gold glitter was the perfect accessory for her feet! Lauren was also wearing her grandmothers ring from Cuba, which is also Seans birthstone! I was in love with all of the pink, purple and gold details that filled the day!

 

Getting Ready with the Ladies at her Parent’s House

Lauren and her bridesmaids had a great time getting ready at her parents house. They were pampered all morning by VC Salon, making sure that they looked perfect and not a hair was out of place! You could tell how important this day was for Lauren and her friends and family. They were all so attentive to such a sweet bride.

 

Getting Ready with the Guys at the Hyatt Place Hotel – Princeton, NJ

Sean was so stylish in his custom suit by Dr. Bespoke.  We loved the bicycle details on the inside of his jacket and the back of his vest. Each of his details were unique and modern, which just added to his style.

 

The Story of Lauren & Sean

Lauren and Sean met at work. They became friends through movies, cartoons, and video games. Lauren left that job and Sean invited her to the company holiday party a month later. She got there late, and so, as fate may have it, Sean and her got their own table. Their first date was seeing the movie Gnomeo and Juliet, and they fell in love instantly. He Proposed at Grounds for Sculpture at the highest point, on a secluded bridge, when no one was around. He asked Lauren to be his best friend forever. Swoon!

A First Look where Sean Proposed at Grounds for Sculpture

The moment that Lauren and Sean laid eyes on each other for the first time on their wedding day was so sweet and perfect.  Right in the spot that Sean proposed, he caught the first glimpse of his soon to be bride.  There were smiles, laughter and a few tears and they enjoyed such a special moment together.

 

Bride and Groom & Bridal Party Portraits at Grounds for Sculpture

Grounds for Sculpture is such a spectacular and picturesque location for wedding photos! So, with the time that we had, we walked around the park and captured the love shared between Lauren and Sean, as well as fun with their Bridal Party and Family!

Saying “I Do!” in a Sentimental Ceremony at The Nine Muses at Grounds for Sculpture

The Nine Muses is a multi-component grouping carved from Vermont granite. The number of figures holds significance in that there were nine “muses” in classical mythology, all daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, who presided over the arts and sciences.

Kris Bruno officiated Lauren & Sean’s wedding, adding in touches of love and sentiment. Lauren and Sean wrote their own meaningful vows, and his sister performed a reading and “tying of the knot” ceremony as well.  Every moment was beautiful and true to who they are.

 

A Fun Reception at the Seward Johnson Center for the Arts at Grounds for Sculpture

“It’s easy sometimes to forget the simple things that give us pleasure. If we open our eyes, life is marvelous. The human spirit triumphs, if only for moments in a day.” -Seward Johnson

The gallery at the Seward Johnson Center for the Arts was the perfect spot for Lauren and Sean to celebrate with their friends and family! It was a modern ballroom filled with love and light!  The band, EBE Milan 77, made sure that all of their guests had a great time and did not leave the dance floor all evening! Lauren and Sean chose an amazing wedding venue and planned an absolutely unforgettable day for all of their family and friends!

Do these two look familiar?  We were lucky enough to capture Lauren’s brother Brendon and his wife Anna’s wedding almost 6 years ago at the beautiful Unionville Vineyards!
