A Modern Love Story: Laura & Josh’s Perfectly Untraditional “Yes”
Laura and Josh with their guests outside Lamberton Conservatory
Today, we get to celebrate the story of Laura and Josh—one that began in the most modern of ways: on a dating app. Picture it: Laura, casually scrolling through Coffee Meets Bagel, when suddenly there he was—Josh. The one guy who wasn’t just age-appropriate, but also genuinely adorable. A rare gem in the app-scrolling wilderness.
What followed wasn’t your typical love story, but that’s exactly why it’s perfect. From their very first message to their very first date, there was something undeniably right about their connection. An effortless chemistry—the kind you usually only see in romantic comedies… and maybe, just maybe, a little bit of fate nudging things along.
And speaking of rom-com moments, their proposal story deserves its own scene. No grand gestures, no elaborate dinners. Instead, Josh and Laura chose a setting far better suited to who they are: their couch, cozied up at home, with a couple of attention-seeking Pomeranians wedged somewhere between them. There, in the simplicity of an ordinary evening, they found the clarity for one of the most important conversations of their lives. Their love had weathered the ups and downs, grown stronger through every season—so why not make it official… and hey, gain some tax benefits while they were at it?
Their wedding day reflected that same sincerity, ease, and authentic joy. Set against the lush, dreamy backdrop of Lamberton Conservatory, their celebration felt like stepping into a greenhouse fairy tale. The stunning florals, the energy on the dance floor, and the seamless flow of the day all came together thanks to A. Caroline Creative, who handled florals, DJ services, and coordination with absolute artistry.
Guests were treated to delicious, beautifully crafted food from Root Catering, a perfect match for the intimate, heartfelt atmosphere. And every emotion—from the quiet glances to the big laughs—was captured with talent and soul by Bound and Branch Photography.
Laura and Josh’s story may have started with a swipe, but it grew into something grounded, joyful, and completely theirs. Here’s to their next chapter—one built on love, laughter, a few fluffy Pomeranians, and the magic only they could create together.
