From the Couple...

How He Asked: "Despite living on Hatteras Island, Danielle had never climbed the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse before, but had talked about it frequently. Aaron arrange a climb to the top of the lighthouse on early evening where he proposed once they arrived to the top."

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "We both live and met on Hatteras Island, so it seemed like the perfect place to have our special day to share with our friends and family from near far. There's no place like home!"

Weddings Inspiration: "We wanted to incorporate all things on Hatteras Island that are special to us. The Inn on Pamlico Sound is where Aaron took me on our first day and we couldn't have imagined having our wedding anywhere else. Danielle's mother was a huge part of the wedding planning and spent a year planning every detail to perfection."

Favorite Wedding Memory: "One of our favorite wedding day memories is being able to get away after the ceremony. Just the two of us with Kate and Daniel Pullen to take pictures at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse where we had gotten engaged."

Allowing the ocean to be their inspiration, Lauren and Tyler chose a color palette that mirrored its brilliant hues, from light shades of sea foam to rich hues of teal. Renee Landry Events added pops of pink to Lauren's bouquet and created white calla lily bouquets for the bridesmaids that matched the beach-styled reception tablescapes. Basnight Photography captured all of the details of this modern destination wedding at Koru Village & Spa, featured in the 2016 Outer Banks Bride Magazine.

From the Couple: 

How He Asked: "Tyler knew he wanted to propose somewhere special to he and Lauren, and since they've been going to the Outer Banks with their families for years, he knew that was the perfect place. On the first night of their vacation in Avon, they went for walk walk on the beach and when they reached the Avon Pier, Tyler popped the question!" 

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "We've been coming to the Outer Banks with our families for vacation for years, and since Tyler proposed there, there was no question that we wanted to get married in Avon too!" 

Wedding Inspiration: "Our decor was all beach themed! The color palette included ocean tones, and the wedding style was beach chic. We wanted our wedding to reflect the surrounding of the venue." 

Favorite Wedding Memory: "Our first dance. It was one off the only times during the evening when we were able to have a conversation, just the two of us, without people running up to congratulate us! As strange as it was to be the only two people dancing in a room full of people, for those few minutes, it felt like it was just us."
