I met Chris and Lauren at the Central Coast Bride Wedding Fair held at the Madonna Expo Center. It’s been nothing but a blast getting to know and work with these two since then. Their story ought to be turned into a Hollywood movie – Lauren was a teller where Chris banked, and after having friends write him check after check, just so he could deposit them and hopefully see his “bank teller angel,” he finally found the courage to ask her out. The rest, as they say, is history.
The wedding was simply amazing. Chris and Lauren did a phenomenal job of planning their special day, and it showed. Overlooking Edna Valley, they exchanged vows at Tiber Canyon Ranch – a beautiful country setting with log cabins, intricate metal work and indescribable panoramic views. DJ Greg Perez from Playtime Productions confidently spun the tunes and MC’d for the night. From the Red Ryder BB Guns to coolest cake topper I have ever seen, the Cook wedding was one that will not soon be forgotten.
Insert trailer here.
Chris came to me after not being completely thrilled with his first photographer and I introduced the lovely couple to Ely Roberts, a good friend of mine and a very talented photographer. Below are a few highlights of the day.

Doesn’t this look like it should be in a magazine ad for some exclusive New York designer? Very vogue.

Ely was a vital asset in helping Lauren get ready. Based on this photo I took, I think it’s pretty obvious that Ely knew what he was doing… or not. ;-P

Even after Ely’s contribution, Lauren looked absolutely stunning.

As I mentioned before, this is, without a doubt, the coolest cake-topper I have ever seen.

Rockin’ a kiss in the garden.

We’re all big fans of this picture. This is the stuff fairy tales are made of.

Congratulations to you both!!! I wish nothing but the best for you. Thanks for letting us share in your special day!
