Getting to Nantucket has always been about the journey. Getting stuck in traffic before the bridge, making your way to the boat and the long ride over Nantucket Sound on the slow boat, is somewhat mandatory to fully appreciate living or visiting an island. Now, planning a wedding is no different, but planning a wedding from Australia? Well, that’s quite the journey!

Lauren and Deakin both working away from home met each other in the land down under. They took the long trip back home to finalize wedding plans in person so I took them on their engagement session with their super cute daughter, Madeline. Deakin’s family home is in ‘Sconset so we stayed there for some family pictures before leaving Madeline with Grandma, so Mom & Dad could have some alone time (with me!)

Looking forward so much to their wedding, what a fun couple, and beautiful family!
