Lauren and Josh met during a Moot Court competition at Albany Law School in 2014 and while I won’t say who beat who, I will say that the start of their existence with each other was not quite love at first sight. But a welcome back party two years later did put them on better terms and soon after started dating.

Josh and Lauren gathered their loved ones at the iconic Canfield Casino in downtown Saratoga, just steps away from where Josh proposed in Congress Park many months before. It is clear that the people they surround themselves with is a reflection of who these two are; kind, genuine, and always putting others before themselves. In fact, they shared the spotlight with Lauren’s parents as they eloped 35 years ago and never had a wedding celebration. So to kick start the night, Mom and Dad took to the dance floor and had a first dance to themselves to their surprise. I’m pretty sure everyone was crying. That’s probably one of the sweetest things I’ve witnessed in a long time and Lauren and Josh are just like that. The people you want in your family, in your friend group, or at the very least, your neighbor.

Congrats Lauren and Josh! Looking forward to diving in deep and working on all the memories you created on your day. But in the meantime, here are a few sneak peeks!
