Lauren & Jeremy | Bloomington-Normal Marriott Wedding | Illinois

bride and groom portraits by Bloomington IL Wedding Photographer Rachael Schirano

It was love at first swipe for Lauren and Jeremy, who met using the online dating app Tinder. The two hit it off immediately, staying up until 3am on their first date, enjoying easy conversation and discovering everything they could about each other. They were so engaged in talking and being together that Jeremy almost ran a red light because he couldn’t stop looking at Lauren!

As their relationship progressed, they fell more and more in love with each passing day. From listening to comedy shows, going out with friends, watching sports, going to concerts, bowling, traveling, and so much more, their time spent together was uniquely special. Lauren knew Jeremy was her other half when she saw how great he was with his little brother, and Jeremy knew they were meant to be when Lauren lived with his family and immediately got along with everyone.

Knowing he couldn’t spend a day in this life without his soulmate, Jeremy popped the question while on a trip to Marco Island with Lauren’s parents. And so the lovebirds began their wedding preparations the way they do everything – together!

Their big day radiated with a classic elegance combined with a loving atmosphere to match the couple’s bright personalities. The ceremony was beautiful, with the adoring couple unable to take their eyes off one another for even a second. From the sweet moments shared to a special Offertory song composed by Lauren’s brother, this was a day to remember.

Following the ceremony, guests gathered outside the church to give the bride and groom a fun, “bubble” send off. Hand-in-hand, Lauren and Jeremy made their way through a crowd of their family and friends blowing bubbles and cheering for the happy couple.

After a romantic getaway in Honolulu and Maui, the couple are back to their daily lives, but this time as husband and wife. Can’t wait to see where life takes these sweethearts next!
