Ohh my goodness am I excited to share this wedding with you all today! Last Saturday we had the total pleasure of celebrating along with Lauren, Baylor + their friends and family on their WEDDING day! I’ve been so excited for this wedding since Lauren and Baylor’s snowy engagement session this past winter… I just knew their day would be adorable from how detail oriented Lauren is, and of course the way these two just adore each other. It’s adorable to witness!
