Every year we spend a whole lot of time at one of our favorite places on earth, Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm, and this year was no exception. Even though we captured mostly intimate weddings and elopements at this dreamy location for the better part of 2020, every single celebration was still magical. We were so dang thrilled when Eric and Lauren decided to tie the knot at this little slice of heaven on the most perfect September day.
These lovers first met at Wake Forest University in North Carolina during their senior year of college. Even though they parted their separate ways after graduation, Eric and Lauren reconnected in 2013 when they both were living in Washington, D.C. A few little years down the road in 2018, Eric decided to pursue his lifelong dream of sailing around the world and set off from Annapolis, MD. Although his entire journey would take about two and a half years, Eric decided to propose to Lauren in January 2019 while she was visiting him in New Zealand.
True to 2020 wedding form, Eric and Lauren had to change around their initial celebrations plans a whole lot, yet their day still turned out to be incredibly beautiful. They chose to keep their intimate ceremony black tie, which we think is amazing, and had the most beautiful garden ceremony in the heart of Los Poblanos. From a candle lighting ceremony during their vows to dreamy romantics to the most stunning first dance in the iconic La Quinta portal, this tiny day was one to remember. And if that wasn’t enough, these two made sure to select some of the most stellar, local, women-owned vendors for their day including glam queens Betty Rose by Alanna and Jewel Hair Design, stationary artist extraordinaire Funky Olive Design, and floral babes Florecita Flowers.
Intimate weddings like Eric and Lauren’s aren’t just a little extra magical, they’re days we absolutely adore capturing from start to finish. Congrats babes, we’re forever in love with your special day!
