Lauren & Jason’s Elegant Wedding at Darby House

On a warm July 19th, Lauren and Jason celebrated their love in a timeless, elegant ceremony at the stunning Darby House. Nestled in the serene countryside, the venue’s lush greenery and rustic charm set the perfect backdrop for a wedding that was beautifully simple yet deeply meaningful.


A Ceremony Filled with Heartfelt Moments

As Lauren walked down the aisle, her smile radiated pure joy, and Jason’s gaze never left her, filled with emotion and anticipation. The ceremony was a beautiful blend of personal stories shared by the officiant, which gave their guests a glimpse into their journey together. The exchange of vows was heartfelt, and the kiss that sealed their union brought applause and smiles from all their guests. To cap off the ceremony, Lauren and Jason honored tradition by jumping over the broom, symbolizing the leap into their new life together, a powerful moment that added even more meaning to their day.


A Tastefully Modern Style with Classic Elegance

At Kodjoarts, our goal is always to capture the essence of each couple, and Lauren and Jason’s wedding was no exception. Our photographic style was tastefully modern with a perfect mix of classic elegance. We carefully selected soft, natural lighting to highlight the romantic tones of the day, while utilizing both wide shots to showcase the grandeur of Darby House and intimate close-ups to preserve each emotional moment.

As photographers, we always keep an eye out for those golden-hour moments, and Lauren and Jason’s wedding was no different. After the ceremony, we whisked the couple away to the rustic barn area at Darby House. As the sun dipped below the horizon, we captured their tender embraces and quiet moments together. These photos are some of our favorites, they radiate with warmth, love, and the joy of a new beginning. You can view more of our wedding photography portfolio here.

As the night progressed, the dance floor came alive, with guests showing off their best moves, adding an extra layer of fun and joy to the evening.



A Seamless Event with a Stellar Team

We had the honor of capturing both the photography and videography for Lauren and Jason’s big day. Our team of two photographers and two videographers worked seamlessly together, ensuring that every important moment was captured, from the delicate details of the decor to the candid emotions shared between family and friends. This wouldn’t have been possible without the impeccable planning and coordination from Melinda Payne Events, who made sure everything ran smoothly and beautifully from start to finish.

At the end of the day, we delivered a gallery of wedding photos and videos that encapsulated the entire day, an heirloom of memories that Lauren and Jason will cherish for years to come. From the intimate shots during the ceremony to the joy-filled moments on the dance floor, each image tells a part of their love story.
