My love for photography started with my Mimi. Never without a camera in hand, she has always been the documenter of my life. As I’ve grown older, I’ve also grown to appreciate the memories she captured more and more. I can spend hours sitting on the floor at my Mimi’s going through her picture boxes (most likely while eating a sweet treat!)
My husband and I got married in June of 2012 and our photographer, Linda, was amazing. The photos were great but the way Linda’s patience and warmth made us forget we were standing in front of a camera. It was like we were just hanging out with an old friend. The love we from Linda is what pushed me to be the one with a camera in hand. She helped train me in the early days of this business and even today she is one of my biggest encouragers.
As much as I love all the magical details of a wedding day… the dress, décor, venue, flowers, I chose to pick up a camera because I believe every couple derserves to feel like they’re in good hands on their wedding day.
Meet Know Lauren & Michael
WE’RE A HUSBAND AND WIFE PHOTOGRAPHY TEAM BASED IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA.
It all began senior year on a haunted trail. He held my hand as we exited and never let go. Ten years later, we’re still holding hands.
Over the years, we’ve added Cooper, our fur baby, and our little boy Luke. Coop really loves giving his little brother kisses (slimy licks) and we have him to thank for Luke’s hairstyle. These two are the light of our life and though it may sometimes seem chaotic in a house with a one year old and a ninety pound fur baby we wouldn’t have it any other way! We are blessed beyond measure!!!

Just to name some of my favs-shiplap, wreaths, cute green plants & flowers, books, world map photos, repurposed barn wood with quotes, old window panes made into a frame, soft throw blankets, candles, birds & nests, & fluffy pillows!

planners
Ok so maybe I am a little OCD and have my life planned out like 10 years from now). Yep, it drives Michael crazy when I am trying to plan our trip to Fiji like 3 or 4 years from now and our second Hawaii trip in 5 years and when I ask “Well what time of year do you want to go or what hotel?” and his response is “Babe I don’t even know what I’m doing next week!!!” Gotta love it!

statement necklaces
This totally changes your outfit and how you feel! I can be in a plain shirt and throw on one of these bad boys and boom instant glam and I feel girlie and feminine! And this is great for me as a new mom because a lot of time my best accessory is baby slobber, but I wear it proudly anyway!

birds & nests
I love decorating with birds and nests, they are so pretty and give our home that cottage & farmhouse style which I love! I usually find unique bird nests decorations at Pottery Barn, TJ maxx, or Home goods! I kinda have an obsession with this maybe because I rescued some baby birds when I was little when the mama bird didn’t come back I convinced my daycare teacher that I could take care of them!

candles
I love lavender, vanilla, or sugar cookie scented candles, wax cubes, or plug ins! They make the house smell amazing!!!
