Grant & Laura | A June Garvan Gardens Wedding
Oh, Grant and Laura. It’s not very often that we find ourselves speechless, but today is one of those rare events. The first time we sat down across the coffee shop table from you and heard your vision for your wedding, we knew it would be remarkable, but we had no idea it would be THIS remarkable. And oh boy do you deserve it. After making countless trips to other people’s weddings, it’s finally your turn. If it weren’t for that trip home from the wedding in New Orleans, though, you might not be here. There’s nothing like spending hours in the car together to start your very own Happily Ever After story!
Laura, when we first arrived to your mom’s condo and saw all of the beautiful details neatly placed on the kitchen counter, we knew your day was going to be something special. It wasn’t just because they were all so beautiful, it was because we could see how much time, thought, and sentiment you invested into this day. But then a few minutes later, when your mom opened her hand-written gift from her soon-to-be son-in-law, the deal was sealed. This day was going to be perfect!
Grant, those moments shared between you and your dad as you prepared to go see your bride were priceless. A father spends most of his life working hard to raise a gentleman, and his eyes said it all- that he is so, so very proud of you. And he should be. For serving our country in the Air Force, and being a man of noble character for your bride, we salute you. We also thank you for being the kind of son-in-law that every mom dreams of. The one that respects her, and takes the time, thought and effort to thank her for blessing him with the girl of his dreams.
Grant and Laura were married at the beautiful Anthony Chapel at Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs and their reception took place at the fabulous Mountain Valley Water building in downtown Hot Springs. From start to finish, Grant and Laura’s personal touch was on every detail, which made it a dream for us to tell their story through photographs.
Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Wagner!

Love your summary of the day’s events! Thanks again for expressing and capturing memories for a lifetime! I will be ordering prints after Laura gets back. Can you order a photo album with prints already in the book?
Thanks so much Robin! Yes, Laura and Grant purchased a custom designed photo book from us. If you would like to order one also, shoot us an email at brigganphoto@yahoo.com and we’ll take care of you!
Laura and Grant, oh, what a beautiful day you had on June 13th! These pictures tell of such a glorious story of the day’s events. I cried as I looked at each one of them, because of your joy and devotion to each other. Oh, how I wanted to be there!!! Your pictures are beautiful and will be a special remembrance of your beginning as a family. What God has joined together, let no man put asunder. I pray that you will have many years of love and joy together. Congratulations on your life together!
