A People-Focused NWA Wedding Day

Lauren and Jarrod have the biggest hearts for their people. As early as our initial consultation I could tell that their wedding day was going to be special because they were so focused on enjoying their time with the people who came to celebrate them. They had a vision for their day, but they were most adamant about wanting to spend time with their families and their guests that traveled to be there. When the people come first, I know it’s going to be a good day.

I have been to the Mildred B Cooper Chapel for elopements many, many times, but this wedding was one of the rare occasions where I got to see the chapel filled to the brim. It was special to see Jarrod greeting his guests with hugs as they entered the chapel, and Lauren’s wink walking down the aisle is one of my favorite moments from the whole ceremony! When you surround yourself with the right people it is so easy to love big and be loved big in return, and Lauren and Jarrod definitely found the right people. Every moment of the day was just like the ceremony – full of connection and joy.
