Liberty Science Center I was excited! \u00a0I had no idea they had events there, much less weddings. \u00a0The observation tower at the LSC has spectacular 360 degree views and was a gorgeous and unique setting for their ceremony. \u00a0We had a beautiful blue sky with just the right amount of puffy white clouds on their wedding day. \u00a0Thank you for letting me capture the love you both have with each other and your families and friends. \u00a0It was a memorable ceremony and one that I will not soon forget.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thrilled to have Lauren and Andy&#8217;s Wedding featured
