Lauren + Jeremy | Simple & Elegant Wedding at Barn at Dunvilla

Barn at Dunvilla Wedding
Lauren + Jeremy
7.10.21

Jeremy and Lauren tied the knot at the Barn at Dunvilla on a gorgeous day in July. Lauren was after a simple but elegant wedding and that’s exactly how the day went. Compared to the sweltering heat we’ve had in 2021, July 10 ended up being the perfect day.

Lauren is quiet and composed, where Jeremy is animated and outgoing. They are a testament to opposites attracting — honestly, it reminds me of my husband and I! Despite their differences, though, it’s so clear how in love these two are. You can see it in the photos!

For my part, I fell in love with the Barn at Dunvilla for the venue’s versatility. The sunset was a little strange due to the wildfires in the Midwest and Canada, but I also knew I could take advantage of the muted sun and rich pinks and golds to make some epic photos. With my assistant holding my off-camera flash gear, I created some of my favorite photos of all time! I bet Jeremy and Lauren agree — wouldn’t be surprised if they end up being the prints on their walls.

This was a first for me - in the middle of sunset photos the wedding party and some of the guests photobombed us. I was so zoned in that I didn’t even hear them sneaking up on us!
