lauren and justin {tie the knot} the duke mansion

Each year it seems like there is one venue that I frequent. This year, it was hands down The Duke Mansion. Not that I am complaining, the space is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is fantastic to work with {shout out to my girl, Gina Bailey!}

Wrapping up my 'year of the Duke' was Lauren and Justin's wedding on October 5th. You may remember this sweet couple from here.

Lauren and Justin share a love for dessert, so it was no surprise when they decided to incorporate sweets throughout their reception, including custom made bon-bons and a visit from Ben and Jerry's.  

Justin's partner in his law firm performed the ceremony which made it extremely personal and left not a dry eye.

Please enjoy some photos taken by the super sweet, and equally as talented, Dan and Candice Lanning of The Beautiful Mess.

Thank you to the vendors that made this day extra special!
