Creating Heirlooms For Brides

When Morgan and I went on our honeymoon, we decided to create a little tradition: collecting postcards or knick knacks from everywhere we’ve traveled together as a married couple.  From Guatemala I have a little parrot bottle opener.  From Florida we have a fun rock that we found at the beach.  These little treasures fill nooks and crannies all around our little apartment.  They’re pieces of our story in tangible objects.  These are lovely reminders of where we’ve been together.  I will admit though that one of my favorite heirlooms that we have is our wedding album.  I encourage my couples to invest in one too, because of the significance I feel when I look out ours!  If I’m honest, I don’t look at our wedding album 24-7. I don’t even look at it more than a handful of times a year.  The reason why I’m grateful for this heirloom is because I know, from watching others, that this is just the beginning of a collection of tangible objects of our marriage and of our family.  I love that I get to create the same thing for so many of my couples!

Wife, mama, wielder of light & joy, and capturer of moments.  I thrive off of conversation and genuine connection.  In between wrangling our kiddos, and hanging my husband, you'll find me dreaming up my next idea or creative endeavour.  It's these things that culminate to give my imagery a warmth and joy to them - the greatest compliment I could receive.

I'M LAUREN

THE JOURNAL

Lauren grew up spending her summers at the shore, and when she and Nick got together, she couldn't help but introduce him, too!  Their session in New Jersey was filled with gorgeous light, sweet smiles, and so much love & laughter.

Jersey Shore Engagement 

Connor and Alli's wedding celebration was full of lush florals, gorgeous details, and a whole lot of joy.  Their first look was one of the most sacred moments I've witness on a wedding day... filled with so much delight and love!

One of my greatest inspirations comes from exploring and the California coast fulfills that wanderlust like nothing else.  Anytime I have rolling hills and oceanside views, I'm in heaven.

She's the ultimate hypewoman. I was pretty nervous about being photographed and Lauren made everything fun and flexible. Honestly, I can't imagine the day without her and her team. They were wonderful and hearing from Lauren was always a genuine delight.
