I consider myself lucky that year after year, client after client, I get to photograph the most beautiful, genuine and heartfelt people. Somehow, my people always find me. They are fun, and sweet, up for pretty much anything, but most of all – they are more concerned with the marriage and the love and all the people they surround themselves with than just the wedding day. They allow me to document their wedding days naturally and authentically. They allow me to share their joy in the day, to watch them cry and laugh, and hold hands with their very best friends. They make me love my job.

And this wedding was no exception. Friends, meet Jess + Kenny. Clients turned friends who had the best day ever (even if it rained A LOT).

 

Here’s Jess looking radiant.

This made me smile when Jess opened it. It made her smile too.

My awesome second shooter, Bridget, was hanging out with the guys.

JESSSSSSSSSSS!

First looks are my favorite. (Before the ceremony or walking down the aisle. I just love that MOMENT).

“Where ya headed, sir?”

These two firecrackers were the best all day long.

MY HEART, MY HEART, MY HEART.

I just love a wacky photo, and my man hooked me up.

MARRIED!

I love kids at weddings because I love how unpredictable they can be.

Point made, right?

My second shooter, Bridget, captured this and it’s FIRE.

The new Mr. + Mrs. (followed by the best party..)

To be fair, he got her first.

 

Jess + Kenny. It was an HONOR. Thanks for being you + picking me. So much love to you guys! xo, Lauren
