I love destination weddings!

Lauren & Adam’s New Hampshire destination wedding was full of color, laughter, and a crazy wind/rain storm! (More on that later!) They were appropriately married at Franklin Pierce University in Keene, NH where they met in college years ago. Lauren wanted lots of color for their 70’s inspired summer wedding.Lotus Floral Designs and Heidi, from Seacoast Harbor Events, did an amazing job making this couple’s free spirits come to life!

Lauren & Adam wanted to do a little “mini ceremony” in the woods before all of the formal events started. They wanted something a little bit more low key & intimate to be able to share some heartfelt words with one another in front of their closest family & friends.

Thumb war! Now the day is complete! 😉

Adam gave lauren the most beautful ring that he made from wood. It was such a sweet gesture & perfectly fitting. True hippies at heart!

After their intimate ceremony, Lauren ran off to finish getting ready & get into her formal dress.

A ceremony with a view! Gorgeous pearly lake in Rindge, NH.

Lauren & Adam hosted their tented reception on the Manor lawn at Franklin Pierce.

Franklin Pierce Alumni!

Just as things were getting started during the reception the thunderstorms rolled in bringing along some pretty crazy wind! The tent was flapping, records were flying, tables were being knocked over… But Lauren & Adam did not miss a beat. Things were quickly moved inside & the party just kept on going!

A little behind the scenes… here I am getting some shots of the bride & groom!
