Chris and Lauren are one of those couples who inspire you to believe in love. They met during theater in high school and from the very first moment that they started dating, everyone could see how truly perfect they were for one another! On Saturday, I had the incredible honor and privilege of photographing Chris and Lauren’s Wedding surrounded by their beloved family and friends.
There were tears shed, laughs shared, and some of the most beautifully emotional moments I’ve ever captured as a wedding photographer. The father-daughter first look made all of us cry and the speeches during the reception were so personal and well-delivered that they also brought a flood of tears to nearly everyone in attendance. From the beautiful details to the genuine moments… I truly cannot express in words how incredible Chris and Lauren’s Wedding Day was!
Congratulations newlyweds! I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon in Charleston!
