Get ready to swoon because we’ve got something truly magical to share with you today! We recently had the pleasure of photographing Lauren + Matthew’s wedding, so I can finally show off his stunning bride. I was looking forward to Lauren’s bridal session, and let me tell you, it was an absolute dream.

Obviously, working with an absolutely STUNNING bride makes my job super easy. Lauren, with her bright smile and infectious energy, brought the magic for her session. From the moment she slipped into her wedding dress, we all kept pausing to admire her beauty.

And can we talk about the details for a second? From the gloves, the shoes, the earrings, the bow, wearing her grandmother’s ring—every element was meticulously chosen, adding a touch of personal flair to Lauren’s bridal look. It’s clear she poured her heart into every aspect of her attire, making it uniquely hers. The result was one of my favorite bridal sessions ever.

I’ve known Lauren for a REALLY long time. Seeing her become a wife made me feel so OLD haha, but more than that, SO happy for her. I can’t help but smile knowing that I was able to play a small part in the journey to her big day AND have the privilege to capture her wedding.

So, here’s to Lauren and her stunning bridal session photos—a true celebration of love, beauty, and anticipation for the wedding day. Trust me, folks, these photos are not just snapshots; they’re timeless portraits that will be cherished for generations to come. Cheers to love, and cheers to Mrs. Lauren Santoro! 📸✨
