Lauren | A Charlotte winter bride

Happy New Year!

“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…”

She shared the dress and I fell head-over-heels in love.  Hayden Olivia Bridal fitted Lauren perfectly.  Amazing couture.

My first vision for the session was in the mountains.  Snow.  Winter.  A barn, perhaps.  But scheduling once again played a part in getting there, so I hopped on the ‘swank-uptown city’ thought process.  Well, by the grace of God we still had snow on the 28th!  As hard as it was to cancel our original December 16th date, we are so thankful we did otherwise we would not have been able to capture these delicious, winter memories!

What a way to ring in the new year!

Lauren + Oli | Happy Wedding Day!

Meet Lauren +Oli…

“A wintery London-like day…”

They met at Augusta State.  They have a passion for the same game in life.  They travel the world…currently residing in London.  And while we were unable to coordinate schedules to photograph these beauties in Europe, we tried our best to recreate the inspiration…Tim McGraw + Faith Hill’s, “Let’s Make Love” video.

I am THRILLED to be ringing in the new year with this dynamic duo.  The ball will drop, the confetti will fly and I will be capturing millions of kisses at the stroke of midnight!

Happy Wedding Day, Lauren + Oli!!
