Spring weddings in Upstate New York have a way of feeling especially meaningful. Fresh beginnings, joyful energy, and a sense of anticipation in the air. Lauren and Nash’s wedding was the perfect start to the season, filled with genuine emotion, thoughtful details, and an incredible group of friends and family who showed up with so much love.

From the very beginning of the day, both Lauren and Nash were intentional about how they wanted their wedding to unfold. The two chose not to see each other before the ceremony, saving their very first look for the moment Lauren walked down the aisle, a decision that made their ceremony feel even more emotional and deeply personal. As Nash waited to see Lauren for the first time, the anticipation built in a way that made their aisle moment unforgettable.

Before the ceremony, Lauren shared heartfelt first looks with her father and bridesmaids, while Nash spent time getting ready with his closest friends, soaking in the excitement of what the day would bring. Together, these quiet, meaningful moments set the tone for a celebration rooted in connection and intention.

As the day unfolded, Lauren and Nash’s wedding came to life with playful champagne pops, timeless car portraits, and countless candid moments that reflected who they are: joyful, grounded, and surrounded by people who love them deeply. Their spring wedding in Upstate New York was a beautiful reminder of why this season is so special for saying “I do.”
