This one is a personal one for me. I met Lauren when life had gotten a little cooky for me. Chris and I had just gotten married. I had just moved from Chicago to NC. My job position changed 3 times in one day. And Lauren was the biggest help to me. She and I worked together and boy did she make that job wayyyyyy less stressful for me than it could have been. For that I’m forever grateful. Fast forward, some years later and we have remained friends. I was honored that she asked me to document her and Antwan’s big day! What I loved about their wedding was how all of her vendors were either a family member or a close friend. I thought was a sweet touch. Her cupcakes were even made by a talented high school student that’s a friend of the family! And they were super yummy. Congrats you guys!!
