Summer camp lends itself to many fun childhood/adolescent memories, which eventually gets filed into our scrapbook of life. For Lauren & Brandon their story would be anything but just a recollection but would be forever recognized as the place where they met the love of their lives.
Brandon’s parents ran a camp called Camp Louemma which Lauren & Brandon attended both as campers and then as counselors.
The summer 2005 would be different than any other as it was time Lauren & Brandon fell in love. Every evening the couple would sneak out of their bunks to see each other even though it was not permitted. But that’s the power of love, no rules, or restrictions can get in the way.
As the summer came to an end Lauren & Brandon decided to beat the odds and keep it going as they both would attending college (long distance) in the fall.
“High phone bills, 8-hour drives, and 14-hour bus rides from W. Virginia to Syracuse never stopped us”, Brandon recalls. After Lauren graduated the couple finally resided in the same apartment in the East Village!
And as every great love story would have Lauren & Brandon would return to the scene of the crime, Camp Louemma. With the help of friends & family Brandon set the stage for the big moment. As Brandon escorted her to the lake friends and family took their places holding signs that read, “Will You Marry Me?” Taken by complete surprise she happily accepted.
Lauren & Brandon were married on October 5th 2013 @ Temple Emanu-El in Closter, NJ. The pair danced the night away to the sounds of The Russ Bennett Band of Hank Lane as we joyfully captured all of their special moments.
Thank you Lauren & Brandon for letting us take part in your special day!
