A couple hours prior to their arrival at their venue, The Green Building, Lauren and Jason saw each other for the first time that day. A pre-wedding scouting trip resulted in picturesque locations around Red Hook, Brooklyn. The couple's nerves calmed down shortly after a few snaps of the camera.

Going Postal

Vintage postcards were set on a table with pens and a sign that read: "To forever remind us that you were here to celebrate our special day, please take a moment to write us a note. Place it into the box or take one home to write and send at a later date." The cards were hung, and Lauren's mom has since sent a few to the couple on a sporadic basis.

To personalize the speakeasy area of their venue, Lauren worked with her stationer to create a series of framed prints. The artwork took its cue from the song "Autumn in New York," with the lyrics of the seasonal song on display. One verse now hangs in the couple's apartment.
