Lauren & Nickel
Lauren Nicole Valente and Nickel Banks Foster celebrated their wedding on a radiant September day at the picturesque Seven Springs in Manquin, Virginia. Nestled in the heart of the Middle Peninsula, the historic estate provided a timeless backdrop for their late-summer celebration of love and laughter.
The day beautifully balanced sophistication with joyful spontaneity. Music from Ibis Music Group filled the air as Lauren, radiant with a bouquet of blush roses, chamomile daisies, and lush greenery, walked toward her groom. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows beneath soft peach and cream florals by Vogue Flowers, the ceremony aglow with candlelight and emotion.
As the sun dipped low, the celebration moved to an elegant reception curated by Cater 2 Events, where flickering candles and graceful décor created an atmosphere both refined and inviting. Lauren lit up the dance floor—inflatable guitar in hand—in a moment that perfectly captured the couple’s playful spirit. William Sumner Photo preserved the day with artful precision, capturing each laugh, embrace, and glow of golden light, while Classic Party Rentals of VA provided the refined touches that brought the event together.
The evening concluded in a corridor of sparklers, where Lauren and Nickel shared one final kiss beneath the warm Virginia night—a radiant finale to a day defined by joy, love, and effortless elegance.
