LAUREN VON CANON + TRINITY ODOMS

Photographer: Brittany Raynor Photography When Trinity got down on one knee, Lauren saw fireworks. And thanks to friends committed to making it the proposal of her dreams, the whole neighborhood did, too. Four months later, Lauren’s family would pull out all the stops — starting with her parents agreeing to share their own wedding date, and her father building the arbor by hand.

The two were wed in the backyard of Lauren’s great-aunt’s home in West End, where her grandfather grew up, on a street that carries her family name. After the couple were serenaded by friends during the ceremony, guests played their role in the home’s history by dancing the night away on the back patio.
