Brian, Lauren, one of my favorite regions of this country, and that ridiculous seasonal glow. It all came together on a hilltop adjacent to Lauren's childhood home, where her & Brian's closest friends and family gathered for an evening of merriment.

Brian & Lauren's full set of photographs can be seen right here, from whence prints can also be ordered.

The very minute I read of Mary's plans upon hearing from her - and I told her this - I knew I needed to be a witness to it all. The Flint Hills (one of the country's more beautiful - and underrated - parts) is easily a top five on my list of favorites, and learning that my wife and I would be two of only five or six total people in attendance was nearly too good to be true. And it all unfolded in a way that was nearly too good to be true... the intimacy, the closeness, the wide open space, the breeze, the wildflowers, the sun... and Andrew & Mary smack dab in the middle of it all.
