Lauren + Josh’s Winter Wedding at Southern Charm Estate | Mt Vernon MO

Lauren and Josh’s December wedding day was a subtle hint at the upcoming Christmas holiday. It was full of sweet, heartfelt moments and so much love. While Josh and his guys hung out playing foosball and eating pizza, their laughter echoing through the building, Lauren spent her morning surrounded by soft laughter and comfort as she got ready with her girls. The calm energy was so fitting for Lauren, and you could feel how much love surrounded her.

After getting dressed, Lauren and Josh shared the sweetest private first look in the chapel. They took a quiet moment together, exchanging hugs and soft whispers before sitting down to share personal letters they had written to one another. It was such a touching and sentimental moment that really set the tone for the day.

Before their guests arrived, we snuck in some portraits with the wedding party before everyone tucked away. The ceremony was intimate and meaningful, filled with prayers and special moments. Lauren and Josh’s parents prayed over them before the couple blended sand together as a symbol of their unity. Then they exchanged heartfelt vows and rings before being officially announced as husband and wife to the cheers of their loved ones!

The celebration continued at the reception, where guests warmed up with drinks from the hot chocolate bar while Lauren and Josh wrapped up a few final photos with family and their wedding party. Once the newlyweds made their grand entrance, Lauren’s father prayed over the couple and their meal, and everyone enjoyed a relaxed evening of mingling over dinner. The maid of honor and best man gave sweet and funny toasts before it was time to cut the cake. Josh and Lauren then made their way around the room, greeting each of their guests, making sure everyone felt loved and appreciated.

As the sun touched the horizon, their loved ones sent them off under a cloud of bubbles—such a fun and magical moment! Before heading out, we took a few final sunset photos, capturing the glow of their first moments as husband and wife. They shared one last quiet moment to end their wedding together on the empty dance floor before packing up and heading off into their next chapter together.

Lauren and Josh, thank you so much for letting us be part of such a special day. It was such a joy celebrating with you and your favorite people. I wish you so much love and happiness in your new adventure together.

Lots of Love,

Jessica
