Lauren Yellen's photos from her September wedding at the Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor. Her photographer Melissa Squires of "A Girl in Love Photography" captured the essence of Lauren's wedding perfectly. Melissa was kind enough to share her interpretation of the day with us. Melissa is one of the few photographers who focuses on the "fashion" as well as the "fun" aspects of a wedding. Melissa is an award winning member of agwpja photographing Southeastern Michigan and worldwide. You'll find her on www.agirlinlove.com

Lauren is a wonderfully creative person who incorporated a lot of her own ideas into the details of her wedding, from the dresses to the shoes, flowers and her own head piece. Adding the bolero was a finishing touch that made her fit right in with the garden setting. We especially liked the pink flamingos and green umbrellas; how fun!

While we were making Lauren's dress, every bride, bridesmaid and mother of the wedding commented on the originality and sweetness of the polka dot tulle and ruffles. One bride's sister said that this unique dress made her rethink what she would wear for her own upcoming ceremony. Thanks Lauren!
