I say it about a lot of my brides, and I can confidently say it about Lauren. I truly felt like a friend to her and not just a vendor she hired. Her and I connected from the first day we grabbed coffee to discuss the possibility of me shooting her wedding all the way to the day her and Austin said I do at Flagstone Farm. Her personality is one that people are just gravitated towards. She is kind, bubbly and a friend to all! The wedding day was smooth, relaxing and full of joy and love, everything a bride wants in a wedding day.

Lauren provided me with beautiful details to photograph along with dried flowers. After asking her what they were from, she told me that she saved every flower that Austin had ever given her. So sweet, right? The two exchanged heartfelt letters to each other during their first look. It was a precious moment to photograph. We were able to slip away from the reception to snap a few sunset photos, and it was definitely worth it! And can we talk about her gown? Lauren said YES to the dress ant the one and only Kleinfeld in New York City!!

The entire day was filled with love from Lauren and Austin’s friends and family. Their wedding party was a perfect example of the wonderful people Lauren and Austin are. The bridesmaids and groomsmen spoke so highly of these two and it was evident that Lauren and Austin are loyal friends to all! Everyone at Flagstone Farm worked behind the scenes to put together the perfect wedding experience. From the decorations to shuttling guests to the reception, they thought of everything to make this day perfect.

Lauren and Austin, thank you for allowing me to be apart of your wonderful wedding day! The love you two have for each other is to be admired! The day was full of laughter and so much fun. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!
