I first met Lauren at her sister’s wedding in 2022. Just a couple of months after that wedding, Lauren met Thomas. In the spring of 2024, I got to photograph Lauren and Thomas when they were engaged and then, later that year, their beautiful fall wedding. Now, two years later, I got to join them in their home and meet their beautiful baby girl, Lydia. (And Cooper still has his bow tie!!)

Seeing these two from wedding planning all the way through to becoming parents is such a gift. Not only was it personally fun for me to catch up with them, but I also got to see their absolute love for their daughter and the joy that becoming parents has brought them. Lydia is so lucky to have them as her parents.
