2020 Year in Review: Wedding Day Highlights

2020 Year in Review: Wedding Day Highlights

I’m so thankful for all of the beautiful weddings that 2020 brought to LWP! While this year was nothing like we’d planned, every wedding day was an extraordinary celebration of love. My couples are incredible. They’re kind, thoughtful and each one navigated their way through 2020 with grace.

As I look back on the year, I’m ever so grateful to be a wedding photographer. This industry is a wild one! We never know what we’ll face on a wedding day, and 2020 was a true test of our flexibility. This year, I watched as couples had to postpone their weddings once, twice, three or four times. I witness 200+ person events reduced to intimate celebrations with only 18 people. Some of my couples completely altered their plans, moving their celebration 300 miles! (Truthfully, I loved the change!)

Amid the planning and replanning, I appreciate all of my couples, as well as their families, for all they did for me and my team this year. And as a result, I’m thankful to look back at a year well celebrated!

Cheers to all of my LWP Couples!

I'm LAURA

welcome to my journal

This is where I love sharing recent weddings and sessions, my travels, and life with my husband, and our three pets. When I'm not capturing a wedding day, I'm often enjoying the outdoors with Garrett, playing with our pups, or finding a new place to call home for the weekend. My passion is telling love stories, and I hope I get to fall in love with telling yours.

let's meet!

THE JOURNAL

North Beach was the perfect location for Nicole and Rob's Tybee Island session. While they played with their pup, Lucy, I simply followed. We ran together on the sand, not worrying for once about dirty hems or windy hair.

North Beach on Tybee

Christie and Brian strayed from traditional southern clichés and played into the modern lines and motifs of Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta throughout their wedding design – from their paper to their florals.

Christie & Brian

I was honored to be able to capture my second photographer's sweet family for her birthday and Mother’s Day present. We played on the grounds of Meadowlark 1939 and came away with the most lovely photos of her and her family.
